The Thread about Nothing....

Hitchy

....I was kinda hoping Koffee would jump over too.

Just keep the posts contained to the TdF subforum and let 'em wail and gnash their teeth and discuss conspiracy theories. It will pass eventually, although probably not soon enough for some. Shall I do as I threatened and post the synthetic pathway for steroid hormones? That'll have 'em heading for the exits.

Hitchy, Hitchy, careful what you wish for.

I just got a PM from Brian, looks like the TAT is gonna get resurrected.

Should we return or stay in our new home?

Are they gunna beg us to go back?.....after all, we were the 'most viewed thread' on the whole forum (apart from 'what bike do you have')....maybe we should be asking for royalties from Koffee's boss?.....maybe we should demand an all incluisive apology from Koffee?....maybe we should demand Koffee submit to a 'booting' ( obligatory Simpson's reference).....maybe I should shut up!....( & go back to being face down on the bed with a hangover!)

blimey, you spend the weekend away from the computer cycling and helping your wife's best mate celebrate a birthday and bikeforums melts down.

I say stay here, the server at bikeforums is so underpowered anyway it's no fun to use when every third click tells you the server is too busy. If it's up to telling you it's busy surely it can still function?

Yesterday's ride was the coldest so far this year, -1C at 8am at the beach with a hell frost and black ice on one shady corner that had most of the bunch slowly drifting down the camber towards the ditch.

Moet et Chandon for aperitifs for the birthday dinner and a hell cajun fish and scallop main.

And today was the mid winter 70km fun ride, 36km average with four of us finishing 5 mins behind the leaders after getting dropped about 20km from the finish.

Yep, Buckley's of it happening though.

Sounds good except the -1 part. I see in your sig you are from the Bay of Plenty. I've always meant to ask where you live in NZ but can't get past the sheep jokes.

Tauranga is 200km southeast of Auckland, population 100,000 or thereabouts, and about 50km from Rotorua. Tauranga and Rotorua (Roto Vegas) are probably NZ's top tourist destinations by visitor numbers.

I am well used to the sheep jokes, my nickname (well one of them anyway) when I worked in Sydney was Sheep, and I was shown no mercy by my dingo scraping mates.

this forum is run by Aussies, so maybe we should hang here and boost the ratings, and therefore their ad revenue

Hitchy

You getting a cut???.........hah, wouldn't that be funny, given TAT's popularity at the other place, they musta been scoring a fair bit of add revenue just from the 'hits' we used to draw by seppo's looking to see what crap we were on about, if it impacted on their revenue....& koffee got kicked in the arse for 'nuking' us.....

...now that would be a laugh

At the very least, and with a bloody big cherry on top... ya can't expect to treat people the way she did and expect it all to just blow over like nothing happened.
Pucker up KB!!
