I've posted about the Mongrels before on here. I think it was to do with a funeral for one of their guys. I found out the hard way they don't like to be overtaken on their bikes, when I was in my early 20's on my RZ250r I was sitting behind one on his Harley going thru' a gorge I knew well. Waiting...

Last minute revision with the students about to take their Ejection Seats exam. At this stage in their training, we're used to seeing a bit of banter from them, which I actively encourage, but I expect the correct technical terminology from them. So when one of them gave me a deliberately shit answ...

Just wait a winter Cookie, they won't survive that misery away from their heat lamp.

Morning lawns, organising sleep overs for tomorrow night, sorted picnic dinner in front of the fire for tonight's meal, negotiated successfully the movie selection and sipping on my MANLY gin!

So you never found that run away huh?

Obviously if some people want to have them done, that's fine with me. I certainly won't be telling them my thoughts on the subject http://images.tvnz.co.nz/tvnz_site_images/national_news/2014/04/mongrel_mob_photo_exhibition_sparks_backlash_1393236771.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/06/11/12...

Yeah but ours are free range

Sorry, I grew up in a smokers household, no sympathy here for respiratory dramas you are having.

Very hypocritical of me considering the 'drinking' thread I know but I don't ask for sympathy if I get a hangover.

With you Kwacky, maoris have a deep cultural history in moku's (traditional face tattoos) but not traditional face tats scream prison time and ass wipe. Being very stereo typical here but it's my experience that has conditioned me.

It was raining yesterday and the boy is still crook so we did a car based poke hunt. Went to my old suburb down the hill. Got 4 pikachu candy just from driving around slowly!

But picked up enough to evolve a couple. Almost at level 20 now.

Gin is grain based vodka infused with flavour from bits of tree, sounds like a mans drink to me. And as another thread attests to, a portition of you are too scared to even come to Aussie, so you girls sit there safe in the U.K. and sip your cups of tea :P Deegee, Tony B & Monty, door is always ...

I tried to isolate what I didn't like about the Negroni's by trying the Campari and vermouth separately. It was both, either one ruinings a perfectly good gin as far as my taste buds are concerned.

I'm if nothing, I'm thorough.

The motoGP Aragon finally, but I fell asleep between lap 18 and 3 from the finish.

Did I miss anything worth watching???

Are they biking jeans? I'm hearing good reports about the current jeans. No Kwacky just regular jeans. I ride on the twisties normally so always would do that in full leathers. It was just a local trip that I would also have to wait around at so leathers seemed ott. If I was riding a cafe racer or ...

seeing as it's dad dinner night I'm doing my own beef burgers. It's dad dinner night every night at mine! Joys of single parenting. I do struggle to mix it up but it's not helped by having an autistic 10 yr old and a picky 7 yr old. I refuse to cook different meals for everyone so slowly introducin...

Good work Cookie, I've long thought we need this thread but didn't want to highlight my alcoholism (lol) Just a basic Hendricks & tonic with cucumber at the moment. But in the interests of expanding my options I bought some Campari and Vermouth Rosso last week to make Negroni's. Wasted my money,...

Now the real reason for changing houses is evident!!

Sorry of I've missed it Kiwi but how often do they change the groups? The groups we have are White-Slow Yellow-med slow Green-med fast Red-fast They will move you as soon as needed, first trackday I did on the ZX10R I booked in yellow. As I came off the track a steward was at the pit road entry and...

To summarise Blades explaination, we are very similar at my work. Any override requires mitigation. You can't just take out a safety barrier and not mitigate the increased risk. Simple bow tie theory of risk control. I have no knowledge of the incident apart from what I read here, but to override a ...

Wear and tear would be valid if the jacket was in a shabby well used state, with other bits failing as well. But you saying the jacket is in top shape expect for a failed zip says to me it's not wear and tear but a less than worthy zip for that jacket.
