Jeez Blade, you really have had a bad run. This is exactly why I have never built. I have enough heart ache when I have to get a trade in to do any work around the place. I have high standards for the work I do so I expect people I pay to do the same. As the tiler found out during the bathroom reno'...

It about time she went for her licence. That'll give you an excuse to get another bike in the garage. You forget, I don't need an excuse!! Once the track bike goes, there will be another quick smart. Still no sure if it'll be a off-roader or a roadie solely for my use. Still trying to talk my good ...

Not bad for two up I reckon! Especially since Jess has done a total of about 1000 kms on the back so far

Finally felt well enough to get the bike out, hip is still a bit dodgy but handled a couple of hours in the saddle. Took Jess for a ride through the mountains to the Blue Mountains side and to a new biker cafe called Caffiene and Gasoline. I actually discovered this place while John the owner was do...

30 miles on a hilly lumpy coarse this morning,got soaked but felt good I've booked 20 sessions in a hyperbaric chamber to try and heal my damaged nerves, tendons and muscles ,hopefully it should help When I am feeling less pain i want to start doing some squats to build up my leg strength,then i am...

You mean clever, good looking, talented and all round legends?

Not saying this pilot didn't do a great job, but pilots of airliners are all instrument rated, and as such should be able to make approach will within their skill set. Once on approach they utilise the ILS (Instrument Landing System) broadcast from the airport. This system depending on the aircraft ...

He'd be happy you only steal his keys this time, why do you think he's moved to a more comfortable riding posistion type bike

Insanely impressive. I like the bit about them pretending to have interest in something to pawn it in negotiations at a later time.

This is pretty bloody scary

Thought about going for a ride today as we were kid free and my man flu is finally easing up but not gone.

Cooked up a batch of Mulled Cider last night. Got a kit from the cellar door of one of the local cider brewers. Bloody nice! Lit up the firepit and sat the pot next to it and ladled out cupfuls with a few friends.

He appears quirky and eccentric because he has ASD. No one has ASD for 'the sake of it'

I'm just pissed off cause I picked it up of a guy Offshore. He turned up riddled a week before I left. Prick had sick leave but didn't use it. So instead he infected a bunch of us due out and has right royaly screwed my break at home.
