Re: Elections and polls

I reckon you get a lot of "don't know" or won't say from people who are taking the unpopular vote (I mean unpopular in the social media sense)

I also think there's a bit of a backlash by people being told what they should and shouldn't do. It's almost a protest vote.

The poll company are asking to small a sample. 3. The elections are fixed. So what do you reckon is the most likely explanation?

Re: Kwacky's biking plans

Well it looks like the Z900 has dropped out of my possibles.

Which leaves a space, currently being filled by the 2017 Fireblade, but that's just on looks and spec alone. A couple of years ago I wanted a Tracer until I rode one.

Re: What you watching?

I still think the original had one of the best opening scenes of any movie I've ever seen....You just knew right then & there that it was going to be something very unique.

Ha! No chance. I'm not invited to the conference.

I have no idea what's going on at work but recently my boss has been doing a lot of stuff on his own, without the rest of us being involved. It's very frustrating.
