    Correct.

    Ah. I was thinking of all those words describing the people who ride jetskis which start with
    W, C and P.

    I have been offered a harpoon gun. Do you wish to borrow it when we have eradicated the pests?

    I hope you are *not* going to just leave the bodies to float on the sea for a bit; that would only
    add to pollution. Please dispose of them in an appropriate manner, taking appropriate biosecurity
    precautions. Remember the damage foot and mouth caused, and that humans carry *far* more pathogens
    than pigs.

  5. good sound advice

    Just what forums should be used for.

    disposing of any evidence is always my NO. 1 priority.

    Have any of you cyclists ever got into an argument with a cager and then thought "What really is
    the point???"

    Hmm yes, the other day I was cycling along an urban road in the bus lane in light traffic when this
    moron overtakes me really close at motorway speeds weaving in and out of the cars. I caught up with
    him at the lights (he'd stopped on the ASL of course) and tried to explain the error of his ways to
    which his response was an incessant chorus of "Did I touch you?" It was just like being back in the
    playground.

    This got me to thinking, was he just using this as an excuse to allay any thoughts that he's not the
    world's best driver or are there people out there who honestly believe that any journey where they
    reach their destination without killing anyone is proof positive of their superior driving skills.
    Which logically then follows on that any accident involving them can't possibly be their fault cos
    they've proved on countless journeys how good they are at driving.

    Ho hum.

    There are many of them, most, but not all are male and between the ages of 17 and 30.

    Of course.

    They have to believe all this because driving too fast is an essential part of their masculine
    self image.

    Me, I drive slowly but am hung like a horse. ;-)

    We have a similar problem with the boat - 5 knots downhill with a following wind. The PWC (jet
    skiers) go ever so slightly faster:-(

    Hehe - out of interest how can you go downhill in a boat?

    Apart from rapids on rivers, surfing is going downhill on a hill that keeps up with you.
