It's Election time in Godzown. So what do we get? Punk teenagers all mumbling that theyre gonna vote for the other guy 'cuz he is cooler/sexier' you have GOT to be kidding. Raise the voting age to 25 I say. Thats when people start to develop a brain that actually works. More proof of Mongooses' First Law: Idiots breed in exponential proportion to the increase in protection from them killing themselves. Or, every time we subvert Natural selections ability to weed out the FUCKWITS we find the little fuckers breeding like rabbits. Hence the idiots are taking over.
These are the same little shitwits who didnt A exist or B were still sucking on mummy's tit last time the other lot were in - up to 20% home loan rates, 15% unemployment, business rates over 30%. If they think I am EVER gonna vote for the people who fucked nearly everyone *I* know then they can think again. Arseholes. So called labor leaders who are married to multimillionaires. Pricks who have never held a proper job in their ENTIRE lives. Browbeating union members for their fees is not good practice for government.Remember the 96 billion dollar debt they left the last time they got in. where is it now? Oh yeah... GONE.
Following from Mongooses' First Law... Just remove the right to vote from everyone who drives a Commodore with any sort of aerials, fat tyres, or people driving them with their hats on backwards. *gasp*
We missed out on an outright win on Saturday. I thought it a pretty sporting declaration - 106 in front on first innings. If they were good enough they could have actually tried to set us a total instead of scoring at 1-2 runs an over. I'm pretty sure Ida tried to win the damn game from t there. Hell we were scoring at 4-5 an over on average hitting SINGLES. anyway we won first innings n I made 19 not out. Doubled my average I did, me. Finally got my average back up to last years point. My stupid knee is making it hard however. Cannot run real well. Lost loads of speed. I seem to have lost a lot of power in my shots too. Did not hit a solitary boundary. Normally thats where the bulk of my score comes from on average. I think I hit one in our first match. None in the 2nd, none this time. Frustrating cuz I seem to be able to hit the ball hard in the nets. I even used WonderBat (thats a Simpsons thing).
So the bloody yarpies won the World Rugby Cup. They are gonna be IMPOSSIBLE now. They seem to think they are the best cricket team in the world n now they can claim to be the best rugby side. sheesh. Boring as snail shit game wasnt it. IRB HAS to change some rules. Basically eliminate penalty goals for most offences. Make them kick for touch or have some sort of take a tap forward AND BLOODY PLAY ON. NOT a single try was scored in the final of the premier rugby competition. Not one. Unreal. They wonder why rugby is in trouble. From what I saw this weekend Rugby League has NOTHING to worry about. League has tries, manoeuvre for position, BIG hits and fast big men going full on. Makes AFL look like a game for gay seals.
bah Im going to go look at flashyourrack.com lol

wooop woo woo wooop (Dr Zoidburg)
Well
On the cusp of another outright victory at cricket this week.
And not as stand in captain - captain from the gitgo this match.
We bowled north Richmond out for 88 (captain taking 1/10 off 4 overs of beguiling finger spin lol what a bowling change!!!)
We went in to bat with 90 minutes to stumps and are now 2/98 (ish). I intend batting for another 90 - 120 minutes on Saturday. I've told the team my intention is to declare at around 200 odd runs - a lead of 112. As I now have my other opening bowler (he was wayyy late last Sat n couldnt hence bowl for some 34 overs) I expect to roll Northo for about 60ish. I wasnt too upset with him - he had to come from way out west of NSW -was good that he came to cricket at all. Our opening batting pair got us off to a good start too. Team mate from last year, Sascha, hasnt held a bat since march, is still in, unbeaten on 25odd. Good stuff. the young guns are in next, Young Ben, 71 not out against Schofields last week (2nd innings) off 12 overs, is in next, then praps me (Mr steady, I don't belt it to all corners but if it is there to be hit I HIT the damn thing , limited shotmaker though much to my dismay). The young bloke in with Sascha at the mo is a goer too. He hits it hard n straight so with the batting currently in and what is to come i expect to get the 200ish I want in short order. I don't particularly want to bat twice in this match.
I received my Renault Alpine model from Espana today. yay fer me. I promptly celebrated by ordering some Peugeot bike frame stickers from USA. Should be good either A on my racer or B if i get another Peugeot to restore, on that one.
Zena the lab has discovered she loves it when I get the KHS out - as I take her with me. She loves running like a mad thing round the block, stays on the footpath n blasts along trying to keep up with me. As i have that cursed arthritis thingo Ive found riding the mountain bike much gentler than trying to walk 30kilos of young eager labrador - to get the same exertion level as a lap round the block and a bit of a squirt down the bush track (mebbe a kilometre all up n easy on the bike) Id have to walk her about 6 or 7 kilometres which is ok distance-wise but troubling when you factor in the muscle bound exuberance of a certain young labrador. She can quite easily pull me off my feet. The last time I walked her (as distinct from 'going for a run' as we call it)she actually bashed into my bad knee, then wrapped the lead around it while I was hopping about in pain THEN trippewd me with it while acting all concerned cuz I was in pain. It was clouseau-esque to say the least. Felt like a right dip. I thought Billy was strong. He had nothing on Zena. Scares me a little. You can see the muscles in her flanks ripple when she runs or decides to pull on the lead. No fat lab this one.
We took her up to the Colo River last week. She haw never been in water b4 it seems. Got the hang fast enough shall we say. Had a great time.
We tried to leave Micro box up there too. But he wouldnt wander off long enough. Micro Box is my friends' 12yo son. So called cuz we were at cricket practice one day last season n he was due in to bat. So he went looking for a box, a genital protection device we blokes wear to save the goolies, as a cricket ball is NOT your testicles' best friend. He ferretted about in his dads' kit for a bit then held up a normal average sized box (AKA hector protector) n asked the entire world 'don't these come in any smaller size???'I couldnt believe he even THOUGHT it let alone SAID it out loud. We near died from laughing. So now he is known by the entire cricket team as 'micro-box' Heh.There microbox ya happy? I mentioned you. Now you can have your purple straw. I'll tell THAT story another day (it involves a nice Macdonalds drive through girl thinking microbox was autistic n liked the purple straws the frozen cokes come with... cuz I told her that...well.. thats the story i suppose.) Cept now the young fellas in our team keep offering him a purple straw lol. God 12yos are good value to tease.
I found 5 bikes being given away on the side of the road the other week. It is beginning to look like the racers are mating with the mountain bikes in the garage lol. Theyre all repairable too. Ima keep one mountain bike to take down to the gurls parents place as a rider for down there. The rest... dunno really.
there kassi
read it n weep
least when I comment its a bloody essay not 2 sentences n an exclamation mark (I know been reading lisas tomes too often)

cricket n other shit
So anyway,
I captained Bligh Park 7th grade to an outright win on Saturday. I was hoping not to have to bat twice but you know… these things happen. We ended up chasing 10 runs for victory. I didn’t personally bat again. It was a nice cool day and we played a decent bunch of blokes from Riverstone. It was a pleasant change from the lot we played from Windsor Leagues last year.
I still have not conquered the evil rear wheel of doom on my Peugeot racing bike. Putting new tyres on should not be this bloody difficult. Maybe I am just a total spaz. Yes Kassi I can hear you laughing. So ok they are slightly larger than the skinny supermodel bloody tyres on it when I got it. It just won’t line up properly with the rebate in the lower arm. Stupid thing. It’s tough cuz I’m forced to ride my KHS at the moment. Annoyingly it is just not that at home on the road. Its bloody marvellous on dirt however. And the dog loves to chase along next to me while I ride it.
We (if by ‘we’ I mean ‘Dad’) fixed a couple of things on my car. I now have a functional Odometer and trip meter. Now THAT has been driving me nucking futs for about 3 years now. It appears that we have also conquered the evil ‘I’m not starting, not even turning over’ gremlin. It happens every now and then. Car will start 3, 4, 5 times once after another. Then nothing. All the lights on the dashboard come on but the ignition does nothing. We have changed the starter motor, the battery and the something or other (I cant remember what it was heh). Today we went to change the ignition barrel itself (the bit you put your key in). In passing Dad casually pushed the wiring harness connector more firmly together. We then test started the car it must have been 50-60 times in a row. It has fired up first hit EVERY time. Now I would have assumed at least ONE failure in that sequence. So I think it has been fixed. We also found a loose earth connector elsewhere in the car. I doubt that has anything to do with the starting trouble but you know, at least it is connected properly now. So now all that needs doing is the tappet adjustment, the air-con re-gas and the injectors. The mystery of the crappy too fast idle speed seems to have majically righted itself too. I think praps cuz of all the earth wires are now actually earthing. Now with a trip meter that is working properly I can figure out if the fuel economy is carp or about right.
We have been half toying with the idea of somehow trying to get a new (not literally new) car. Be blowed if I now how we were planning on paying for it. But it never hurts to think ahead. If I come into some money (yeah yeah dream on etc) Ima buy a Renault Megane RenaultSport 225. The 5 door version, Gordini blue, and I am going to have 2 big white stripes up over the bonnet and roof ala Renault 8 Gordini. If I ever come into a LOT of money
I will also buy a Renault A110 Alpine 1600S. And have my Peugeot 505 rebuilt to new condition. Cuz I do like my Peugeot. Ive driven a lot of cars over the years but I haven’t driven one I like driving as much as my 505. I drove them from brand new. My one has at the minimum 500,000 kilometres and as many as 750,000 on the clock. It still steers, rides and handles as well as when it was new. Ok there is the odd rattle here n there it didn’t come with. But being 20 years old is a good excuse for the odd rattle. No rust. Still stops on a dime. Still goes exactly where it is pointed. Only recently we swapped out the seats from mums’ GTi 505 as mine had finally given up the unequal struggle to reign in my bulk comfortably. It also has the suspension from mums’ car under it (hey when you have a perfectly good ‘wreck’ why BUY stuff?).
So I saw the doctor today. I have osteo-arthritis in my right knee as well as fairly extensive cartilage damage. The doc thinks he is funny. He says ‘you getting old heheheheh’ (he is Chinese so insert accent – sounds a bit like Uncle Benny from Lethal Weapon 3). Now I have to figure out why my shoulder hurts like a bastard. I have found that tramadol is wonderful as a pain killer.
I read Careys’ column in Wheels this month. Finally someone with a national voice said exactly what I have been saying for at least a year now. Most Commodore drivers are total dickheads. Micro penis, micro brained idiots. They are over aggressive, under skilled, over compensating, under endowed shit-wits. 8 out of 10 acts of rank stupidity I see on the roads are perpetrated by Commodore drivers. Some truck drivers are not much better. I was almost forced into oncoming traffic yesterday by a 5 tonner trying to merge right into my passenger side front door. He seemed not to understand that HE did not have right of way. If Ida been by myself I think I would have just let him fugging HIT me. It is insured for about $5000. So deal with it idiot. Can he be in that big a hurry he has to try vehicular homicide to get ONE stinking car length ahead of me by charging up the gutter lane KNOWING it ended and when there was no car in the lane behind me? Vacant. Empty. But he needed to get in front of me. He was going so fast I didn’t even see him in my rear mirrors. I check every 5 secondsish whether there is anything to see or not. So he came up fast.
Arsehole. Probably Victorian. They’re without doubt the worst drivers in Australia.

stupid stupid stupid
Me that is. went down n had a bit of cricket practice this morning didnt I? Stupid knee. Stupid me. Stupid stupid stupid.
I started taking glucosamine again. That seems to have a positive effect. Feels somewhat better. Still, the turn and pivot on my right knee as I bowl definitely is not good.
Still havent fixed my Peugeot rear wheel yet. Decided I couldnt be arsed today. Helped my mate pick up some fertiliser instead.
Took one of the girls' tramadols last night. Ahhhhh Now THATS a pain reliever!!
Good lord give these out wherever you think there will be a riot or some such. theyll calm ppl the hell down in about 20 minutes.
well
Dont you love winning a competition THEN finding out it is elegible to UK n Rep Of Ireland residents only. We are talking about guaranteed 250 pounds up to 1,000,000 with various in between depending what number we get. But we cant claim it.
Gunna see who we know in ENgland.

ebay n stuff
I broke my ebayginity last week.
Im nothing if not cautious about some things. Now Ive bought 5 items. All car type stuff that Im interested in.
Cricket season started on saturday. Finally. I made a fighting 10 after coming at 2/15 which quickly became 3 for not much more. So me n one of the young blokes dug in for a bit. Wore the ball down some. Wore the bowlers down a bit. Took the sting out of it for the blokes who came after us. I like the young bloke I was batting with - level headed young fella, polite n respectful with out being obsequious.
We knocked them over for 95 then went in n we are 8/154 so we have the game well in hand for an outright win next saturday. I intend to bat for an hour on saturday (not me personally - the team) IF the guys who are in can hang about - Id like a lead of about 100 -120 runs. See if we can bowl them out without having to bat again. PS I am captain next week as I am the official Vice Captain n the captain is unable to play next week. HAHAHAHAHH POWER POWER POWER....muawahahahahahaha
I went to the doctor today. He thinks I may need keyhole surgery on my right knee.
Im going for an xray tomorrow. Something about torn cartilage (spelling?).
In more serious events... I swapped the brakes from my Pacific brand racing bike onto my Peugeot. Both bikes have the same Shimano Exage (old late 80s gear)but the Pacifics' brakes looked near new in comparison to the Peugeot. So over they went. The Peugeot had serious front braking issues. Now it stops quite well. The back got frustrating. We discovered that the rear cable has frayed badly as it passes through the top tube (interesting idea but not i think sound) which has impacted badly on the brake performance. It was also badly badly seized. we have freed it up some so the cable is actually moving freely now but the brakes in the outer sheath make it catch. We also replaced the tyres and tubes. Struck a real issue there - the rear wheel wont go back on properly - so the tyre is not seated in the correct position. I walked away from it last night muttering in my beard.I KNOW that overall diameter will fit as i swapped a 27 1/4 inch wheel onto it before - hich is a taller tyre again!! I only changed the damned tyres cuz theyre skinny little racing tyres. As I am not a 45kilo racing monkey i dont think theyre really suitable for my riding. I went up in width which handles my extra bulk better than the skinny rubber. The bike is a really smooth ride as it was, it should be like a magic carpet with the bigger tyres - they require less pressure (the skinnies need upwards of 90 - 110PSI the bigger ones around 65 -70) which is a touch more comfortable on the old arsecheeks. Should increase stability as well. Also did a grease n oil of the chain n gears on my KHS dirtbike. I want it to last for a long time.
Ive been taking the dog for a run in the mornings - I ride my KHS n she runs along furiously sniffing then bolting after me. She gets a good workout without being yanked with a lead constantly. She doesnt go wandering off much either which was a nice surprise. Sees me getting the bike out n starts whimpering to go running. She loves it heh.
Colin Mcrae...
dead... damned helicopters.
Die in a rally... sure I can see that. Well I hope Possum Bourne gave him a hearty welcome at that great Thousand Lakes Rally in the sky. Rallying got a little less exciting when you retired.
hello to my old friend Katey whom I hadnt seen online for ages. Good to see you again mate.

what's today? August 18 2007 ARGHHHHHHHHHH ladradors, Cricket rallying sex
hah hahahahah
I orginally had that title in that order except i wrote sex, ladradors... then thought 'hmmmz thats not the sorta suggestive word placement I want'
My ladrador Zena (WWEEEEE didn't name her she CAME to us prenamed) has learned a new trick!! She picked up 'lay down' last night when I ran her through her trick repetoire (is that how it is spelt?? feels wrong somehow). The gurl taught her 'sit up and beg' about a week ago adding that to 'shake hands' and 'high 5 zeny' heh she loves to give high 5s. So now she can llie down on command too. It is but a short step to 'roll over'. she seems rather clever as she picks up this stuff seemingly at first attempt - leading the gurl to posit the theory that Zena may indeed have had some training b4 we got her. This theory is also backed up by the fact she heels very well when following me around the back yard. Goes nuts as soon as we get out the gate on the leash however, which bes a trifle annoying. Apparently the whole rest of the world is FAR too interesting.. And glaven shes strong. Near pulls me off my feet.
Cricket season is fast approaching (whats that sound? no it isnt a train its likely the first opening bowler of the season coming off his long run up, which event is worrying as I look like being opening batsman this year ... no, that wasnt my knees shaking you could see).
Chris Atkinson finished 4th in the recent Rally of Finland GO YOU GOOD THING. Good to see an Aussie doing well in the WRC (he has been there with Team Subaru for 3 years now - first two were really learning years). Also GO Marcus (Gronholm, former Peugeot works driver and all round legend) I predict another world championship this year. THatll mean Ford have finally won another Drivers' title to go withthe one Ari Vatanen won in 1980 (79? around then ... the Rothmans Escort year when prodrive ran the team instead of Ford).
sex mmmmm *drool* lol

A funny thing happened on the way to the *insert place here*
Well boy howdy am I feeling better!!!!
My Peugeot bike now has functional brakes AND I repaired the rear derailleur. HEH that
involved a pair of multi-grips and some left arm strength. It looks like the bike on the right here. Darker blue and different handlebars but very similar otherwise.
My KHS FXT Trail (see above) is in at the shop getting its' first service.
They were going to charge me as I brought it in later than the 4-6 week window, however I pointed out, and they agreed, that I had clearly not used it much in the preceding period so they let me skate on it.
We went to see the Simpsons Movie on Sunday. Saw it at the drive in (easier for the gurls' access with the walking stick etc, and if she has a fit we are not in a cinema with the attendant hassles). I was rather disappointed. Frankly after the build up I thought it would be a LOT funnier. The funniest bit was 'spiderpig' which we had seen on the adverts. It was laid out differently to an episode - the series they start in one place and end up somewhere totally different. The movie was always going from here to there. It was rather predictable. Great graphics. It just wasnt funny. The Simpsons is supposed to funny. I won't be sad if i dont see it again. By comparison I really enjoyed The South Park movie. Actually wish to see it again. I can't believe I enjoyed the SP movie more than the Simpsons' movie. Homer is my life coach after all. I drove there chanting 'homer homer homer' heh
Had a carboot sale on saturday. WORST Carboot sale EVER. There was MAYBE 3 people turned up to buy stuff. However FIGJAM. I sold a heap of stuff... to other stall holders. Going to the HOlden day swapmeet on the weekend too. I have a set of wheels to suit holdens that are so big Im not sure how to gettem there. Think theyll sell though.Saturday, July 21, 2007
back from melbourne
God
What is it about Victoria?
EVERY SINGLE SODDING TIME I go there I get sick. Sick to my guts. This time it was the Gurls' darlin 4yo niece (I love her dearly shes a total cuteypie) who decided to 'share' her dose of the flu with 'uncy craig' by blowing on my face. Thanks hun. 2 1/2 weeks of icky stuff coming out of me, painful sinus, throbbing headaches. Home now thank god. Feeling better already. Next time the gurl wants to visit her fambly she can fly down n leave me here feeling healthy.
On the bright side, we now have remote central locking on the car courtesy of the gurls' brother who is a bit of a wiz with the electronics.
I also have a hat with headlights heh. 5 lil LED lights cipping under the visor n hey presto no tripping over in the dark!
AND I found a Peugeot Carbolite racing bike for a price even *I* was willing to pay. And yes it is well rideable. It needs some new spokes, new brake levers and perhaps a new rear derailleur, but as is it is well rideable. try researching it online however!!!!! Near every reference is to a 'carbolite 103' which is a ladys' 10 spd touring bike which this beasty definitely is NOT.
Everyone down there thought they were being very funny when they mentioned I now had a 'backup' to my Peugeot 505 sedan. Mainly cuz I had to Macgyver the gear shift actuator rod to get to the gurls' mums' home while we were out op shopping during week one. Simple matter to replace it once the new part arrived (yes even for me) but nonetheless embarrassing for my old girl. I generally get mucho advance warning if something is planning on failing.
Not wishing to give in totally to the flu I went for a ride on the ONE clearish day we had down there (btw it was BLOODY FREEZING the whole time). Bike shorts...check, bike jersey (nike brabd but not one dedicated to advertising some poncy team - though if i find an old Phil Anderson Team Peugeot jersey Ima have that methinks)...check, gloves...check. So I am out riding riding riding n what happens. It PISSES down. I was mebbe 10kms out from the house and down it came. It was a cold 'I hate you you scumbag New South Welshman' kind of rain. The sort of rain one only experiences in Melbourne. The sort of rain which renders ones legs unable to be felt. My shoes weighed more than my bike. I particularly hate that water that pools in the small of your back n seeps down your buttcrack. Horrid. My gloves took 2 days to dry. My poor Peugeot had lovely dry weather racing tyres on it. 10kms that felt like trying to ride on an ice skating rink. Dint feel any better after that did I?
Weather here is lovely -if i feel better I will go for a ride tomorrow.

Havent We had Some Rain?
5 days of amazing rainfall.
I keep waiting for the city folk to proclaim the drought is over.
Newcastle copped it hard with the floods.
Something I wanna get off my chest about home interest rates...
It isnt interest rates going up that is to blame for people losing their homes.
If you can't afford a .5% interest rate rise YOU BORROWED TOO MUCH MONEY. Simple as that. If you are put under stress by that piddly amount rise you have a house you couldnt afford when you bought it

more sex, more drugs more rockn roll
Ive got my new hand 10 speed bike going now. I finally found an adaptor for the stupid high pressure valve the back tyre tube was equipped with. I had those on my Peugeot and hated them even then.
So I have the tyres inflated, Ive cleaned it reasonably well. It has been oiled and WD40’d until anything that was binding or tight is now spinning or moving freely.
It goes like stink. It accelerates faster than any other bike Ive ever ridden. Im not really in my fittest bicycle riding shape. It has a funny oversteery wiggle on cornering.
I think that is from the both the very narrow tyres and from big fat bloke sitting on it with his arse near the rear tyre.
It is a smaller frame size than my old Repco 10 speed. Weighs about half, has taller gearing and steers like a razor. You can feel it twitch when your muscles twitch. I cannot believe how responsive it is to steer.
I had an interesting experience with the whole gyroscopic effect thingie today.
I was oiling the axle and bearings on the rear wheel of my sisters’ old bike by the simple expedient of holding the wheel by one lug, spinning it, then squirting WD40 into the shaft. Then I started to turn the wheel somewhat. Instant gyro effect. What a weird feeling wiggling and trying to bend and turn a spinning road wheel. It made me more aware of what goes on at the wheels of both my bikes and my car. The sort of things frames and chassis tend to mask. Well, they are designed to defeat these effects.
What an interesting experience to ride my fast bloody nimble 10speed road racing bike this morning, then my KHS XC mountain bike this afternoon. They feel TOTALLY different.

sex, bikes and rockand/or roll
I bought another bike today. An ultra light framed road racing bike. It�s about 10 years old, maybe a bit more. It has alloy cranks, bars, rims and good shimano accessories. Paid $35 for it. I�ve been cleaning up an old Repco 10 speeder we have had hanging around for about � god seems like 20 years heh. I think my sister might have bought it way back or dad bought it for her or something. Dunno, but I was riding it a bit up in Bathurst n hated it roundly. I spent about a week with the ole WD40, and now it rides along rather nicely. But it is still an old dunger basically. I put new tyres n tubes in it n cleaned it pretty thoroughly. But the bike I bought today is more like what I�ve been looking for as a road bike. It weighs about half that of the old Repco. It appears to be a hand made one off racing bike. It needs some work, WD40 time again heh, some cleaning n mebbe a new rear tube. Nothing much really.
Next on the list is my sisters� old Macquarie G3 ladies� bike. It is in pretty rough condition, having been left out in the weather for years and years. We are gonna sell the Dunlop MTB, the Repco and the Macquarie. The main thing is theyre all giving me something to do.
The gurl had another seizure on Wednesday. Spent 6 hours in hospital. We were out at the optometrists� having my new glasses adjusted. Least I saw this one coming. I go in on Friday to have what seems like a million teeth extracted. The dentist thinks I will end up with a dental plate to fill in the gaps. I am not looking forward to it. I am not looking forward to continued excruciating pain from my stupid teeth. Dilemma. I supposed a once off bout is much better than this continued cycle of pain/codeine/pain/codeine. I hate the feeling I get when the codeine wears off. I don�t mean the return of the tooth pain � I mean the woolly overhung feeling. I�ve been addicted to codeine once before in my life (post golf ball to the head in 1989). It took me a long time to get off the stuff. Mind you I needed it badly at the time. I just try to avoid codeine whenever possible nowadays.
We transferred the seats from mums� old Peugeot 505GTI to my 505SLi. Mums� car had only done 300,000 klicks so the seats were barely worn. Mine has done well over 700,000 and theyre well shagged. Still pretty comfy, but they are about done in. It is laughable however � mum n dad have a brand new Mitsubishi 380. My old seats are better than the seats in their new car. As for the �new� seats I have well the 380 hasn�t a hope. It is luxury now as well as holding us in place better than before. We also changed the rear shocks from the GTI into my car. The GTI had Konis in the rear courtesy of my van towing brother in law. My car, it turns out, had KYB shocks in the rear. Now the ole KYB is a pretty good shock � we have them in the front of the Ford Falcon wagon work horse. They improved the Ford no end. In my Peugeot however, they were FAR too hard. They made the car feel unbalanced and the rear end simply disconnected. Now it feels much as M. Peugeot made it � supple and compliant while still providing all the grip and control the car had when new (they were bloody brilliant when new). The gurl couldn�t believe the difference. Mind, she WAS raised a bloody Holden lover. Not her fault � it is how she was brought up. I think the old pug is about perfect now. I shall get the AC re-gassed and everything will be sweet. I even bought a Kenwood 10 stacker to replace the Sony 10 stacker which has somehow turned into ano stacker � yep we lost the magazine somewhere for the Cds. Buggered if I know where. Anyhoo it only cost $20 so who cares if it doesn�t work rightly.
I also bought the gurls� niece a totally cool little scooter today. It has twin hand brakes, a stand, and is groovy purple. I got it for her cuz she seems to think Im ok(she doesnt seem to like her uncles much). She be my fave from the gurls� nieces n nephews. So bugger it she can have a little scooter. Noone else buys her anything.

gahhh errr SEX!!! Errr rant rant POLITIX!!!!!
Hi Guys
Let’s try it this way then eh. I’m typing in Word then I will save and paste: :/
I just got a new bike. It is a KHS mountain bike all the way from sunny California. It has dual suspension (rear single shock, front fork), cool black wheels with big arsed knobbly tyres, 24 speeds with trigger quick shifters. It rides smooth as silk. I’ve been bumming about on a shit-box out in the bush bouncing here n there then decided I wanted an actual decent bike to ride cross country.
I started riding around the local suburb every day. That was about 4 weeks ago. Seeing as I cannot afford to play squash down here I decided riding was a good alternative. I have actually been really enjoying it. Along with walking the dog most days for 3 to 6 kilometres I feel pretty good at the moment. We have some really nice single tracks around here. Nothing wildly dangerous like big jumps off rock outcrops etc – just nice rides through the trees. I watched a DVD today of some blokes thrashing through the bush at a pukka mountain bike park with huge jumps (bloody awesome) and some high high high speed riding through the trees. It is like rallying with pedals heh. I used to do the exact same shit when I was a kid with my next door neighbour up round Lake Parramatta which has some unreal tracks up in the bush. We thought we invented the sport pretty much back then until I found out the yanks had been doing it for a couple of years b4. I know I know kids go screaming round the bush on bikes, but we had sorta semi set tracks which we rotated through. It is pretty much memories of that time which led me to start riding in the bush again.
Going in to get my teeth fixed sometime in the near-ish future. I had an appointment at the public dental unit here at Hawkesbury yesterday. The doc reckons I have 3 to extract plus may be my wisdom teeth will have to come out. Mean time I have codeine forte to cruise me through. Heh. Floating at the moment, me. Damn my tooth hurts. About the only thing wrong at the moment is my tooth. Back doesn’t hurt. Knee doesn’t hurt. Slight shoulder twinge which the doc thinks is a rotator cuff but I think is referred pain from my sore tooth (from constant gritting my teeth on that side I can feel the tension all the way down my right shoulder and arm) as it doesn’t hurt when my tooth isn’t hurting.
There is someone coming to fix our TV reception tomorrow finally. The aerial sucks. Every house we have lived in has had a shit aerial. Must be our kirllian aura upsetting the waves. One day in the future (dream dream) the agents will actually get our oven fixed. It has not worked since before we moved in. As with the aerial. Takes 5 months to get an aerial repaired. Hell, even when *I* was a property officer I wasn’t that slack. And I HATED my job. But I got repairs done.
We have a new cockatiel. His name is Trouble, he is a cheeky little boy, just a baby, and is learning to talk and generally have a good time. We also have a new budgie called Biggles (my last one was Bertie… if you’re a Biggles collector you’ll get the connexion). He is a cute little green bird. A real proper budgie, not a big mutant show budgie freak. A petite little green budgie. He has already learnt to say ‘pretty boy’ as has the cockatiel heh. No… who told you I love birds? Pfft… liars.
The gurl had to go in to see the gubmint for a quick review. All of which made her rather stressed, as you’d expect. I didn’t mind as the lass who interviewed her was a bit of a hottie with lovely boobs. Nice person too. See I didn’t just take notice of her tits.
I was gonna have a right proper rant this time but frankly since I have 60mg of codeine drifting round my bloodstream I am having trouble working up a good solid give-a-damn.

happy easter god botherers
hey everyone
happy dancning about celebrating one of we pagans oldest festivals. The old men in skirts have claimed it i know but we all know better.
Ok bicycle riders... if you havent got registration and insurance, third party OR comprehensive, get the fuck out of my way on the road. Dont go swerving all over the place. Dont go assuming you have right of way just because YOURE on a bike. Wankers. Your bike is made of metal so it used resources to make. So shut the hell up. Smug bastards.
I read stupid TV Week most weeks. I wonder... I really do Whether they employ smart people.
Ms Editor type...
The REASON JAG always shows 'Zulu' time is cuz Greenwich Mean Time (IE 'zulu' time) is the time used by MOST military organisations around the world. Saves em having to piss about calculating time zones.
The ONLY people who think Neighbours and HOme and Away story lines arent freaking stupid are between the ages of 5 and 15. Be nice if you didnt rev up about the gormless pap every week.
Does ANYONE think 'Lost' is riveting entertainment? Have you noticed that noones lost weight? Noone has gone crazy from being on a bloody island and for other stupidities with this show see previous posts.
Did you comment on 'Prison Breaks' cast of thousands trying to bust out? Straw poll of most of the females I know shows 100% thinnk the 2 guys starring are scary ugly - not the bloody gods of appearance your lot think they are.
Greys Anatomy... hope I NEVER NEVER NEVER end up in a hospital like that. GImme scrubs any day. Ok i know they are entitled to show private lives etc but shit a brick. I'd FIRE every single one of them for being shit wits. Makes ya wonder how they would get through 10 years of medical learning cuz those folks have the attention span of fish.
Heroes.... the ads are enough. NOTHING happens. So who cares if they have super powers. Show has been on for weeks with nought but the cheer leader to perve on.
If they didnt flog shite like the next cheeleader rubbish mebbe itd die a natural, hopefully QUIET death.
Can someone kill Mcleods Daughters? please? Ive LIVED in a country town. Dont remember seeing hit men. More happens in that town and the town Blue Heelers was set in than happens in the damn CITY.
How about being a little critical of moronic story lines which IN REAL LIFE would be resolved in about 5 minutes? Not dragged out for 'days' of rubbish artificial 'tension' (as tense as abroken rubber band) whereby supposedly mature adults act in ways most parents would punish 5yos for.
As for knocking what would have to be my favourite comedy at the moment 'How I met your Mum' i mean give me a break . For years you girls have been banging on about guys n commitment. Finally theres a show where there are 2 couples who love each other, one character who is a bit of a player but who is given heaps by the OTHER males for his attitude. theres NO violence. There is no swearing. There is no gratuitous nudity (love to see both Coby Smulders AND Alyson hannigan naked however.. they could add some i reckon lol) there is no '....here comes the joke folks' writing ala Friends and such like Its just a nice funny show. Its a show with characters I actually can identify with. They have ACTUAL jobs which they attend!!! They have actual jobs for which they actually appear competent. Miracle of miracles. They treat each other with respect. Amazing. Of course you dont like it. It doesnt have dozey women and idiot men whos only qualification is god knows what which shit scripts which treat every viewer like a moron. *gasp* ok got that off my chest.
Ive been doing a bit of voluntary work at a kennels. Not doing it any more. Sick of the owner treating me like a bloody moron. I mean... pick up dog shit and feed them. Aint hard. Clean pens. derrrrrrrrrrr Sick of telling the ownner that the actual permanent EMPLOYED bloke DOESNT feed em n DOESNT seem to care about cleaning their pens. So screw it. I can get treated like a moron anywhere.
Had a fight at Wooolworths yesterday. Waiting in line.... do de doo de doo. Woman walks up to the smokes stand outside the store (part of the store but ya dont need to actually go inside the shop) the check out chick turned to serve her immediately. I said to the girl ' you better NOT serve her first' She shrugged n the woman said 'oh thats fine I'll go to the tobacconist' I said ' good Woolies shouldnt be selling that shit anyway' I said to the girl ' you really think its fair Ive been standing here for 10 minutes in line n she gets served BY YOU wo are working the checkout *I* am waiting for before I do just because she walked up?? NOT RIGHT.
Ima start a campaign to get supermarkets to stop selling cigarettes.
Hey Radical scumbag muslims
YOU choose to come here. THIS is how WE LIVE. Love it or FUCK OFF back where you came from if you think its so good. We dont want your hate here. I know plenty of your coreligionists who are happy and proud to live here and good luck to them.
Glad David Hicks will be in gaol here. Not real sure how the Americans think they have the right to arrest an Australian in a FOREIGN country (NOT in America which would be fair enough if he broke laws there). Fact is he should be in gaol here. Should have been for 5 years. The bloke is a bloody moron. But I think he has given succour to the enemy which is what he should be charged with HERE. He should not EVER be subject to american military laws.
Hope our troops in Iraq have a happy Easter amongst the crazies. Heads down n remember your training fellas.
happy dancning about celebrating one of we pagans oldest festivals. The old men in skirts have claimed it i know but we all know better.
Ok bicycle riders... if you havent got registration and insurance, third party OR comprehensive, get the fuck out of my way on the road. Dont go swerving all over the place. Dont go assuming you have right of way just because YOURE on a bike. Wankers. Your bike is made of metal so it used resources to make. So shut the hell up. Smug bastards.
I read stupid TV Week most weeks. I wonder... I really do Whether they employ smart people.
Ms Editor type...
The REASON JAG always shows 'Zulu' time is cuz Greenwich Mean Time (IE 'zulu' time) is the time used by MOST military organisations around the world. Saves em having to piss about calculating time zones.
The ONLY people who think Neighbours and HOme and Away story lines arent freaking stupid are between the ages of 5 and 15. Be nice if you didnt rev up about the gormless pap every week.
Does ANYONE think 'Lost' is riveting entertainment? Have you noticed that noones lost weight? Noone has gone crazy from being on a bloody island and for other stupidities with this show see previous posts.
Did you comment on 'Prison Breaks' cast of thousands trying to bust out? Straw poll of most of the females I know shows 100% thinnk the 2 guys starring are scary ugly - not the bloody gods of appearance your lot think they are.
Greys Anatomy... hope I NEVER NEVER NEVER end up in a hospital like that. GImme scrubs any day. Ok i know they are entitled to show private lives etc but shit a brick. I'd FIRE every single one of them for being shit wits. Makes ya wonder how they would get through 10 years of medical learning cuz those folks have the attention span of fish.
Heroes.... the ads are enough. NOTHING happens. So who cares if they have super powers. Show has been on for weeks with nought but the cheer leader to perve on.
If they didnt flog shite like the next cheeleader rubbish mebbe itd die a natural, hopefully QUIET death.
Can someone kill Mcleods Daughters? please? Ive LIVED in a country town. Dont remember seeing hit men. More happens in that town and the town Blue Heelers was set in than happens in the damn CITY.
How about being a little critical of moronic story lines which IN REAL LIFE would be resolved in about 5 minutes? Not dragged out for 'days' of rubbish artificial 'tension' (as tense as abroken rubber band) whereby supposedly mature adults act in ways most parents would punish 5yos for.
As for knocking what would have to be my favourite comedy at the moment 'How I met your Mum' i mean give me a break . For years you girls have been banging on about guys n commitment. Finally theres a show where there are 2 couples who love each other, one character who is a bit of a player but who is given heaps by the OTHER males for his attitude. theres NO violence. There is no swearing. There is no gratuitous nudity (love to see both Coby Smulders AND Alyson hannigan naked however.. they could add some i reckon lol) there is no '....here comes the joke folks' writing ala Friends and such like Its just a nice funny show. Its a show with characters I actually can identify with. They have ACTUAL jobs which they attend!!! They have actual jobs for which they actually appear competent. Miracle of miracles. They treat each other with respect. Amazing. Of course you dont like it. It doesnt have dozey women and idiot men whos only qualification is god knows what which shit scripts which treat every viewer like a moron. *gasp* ok got that off my chest.
Ive been doing a bit of voluntary work at a kennels. Not doing it any more. Sick of the owner treating me like a bloody moron. I mean... pick up dog shit and feed them. Aint hard. Clean pens. derrrrrrrrrrr Sick of telling the ownner that the actual permanent EMPLOYED bloke DOESNT feed em n DOESNT seem to care about cleaning their pens. So screw it. I can get treated like a moron anywhere.
Had a fight at Wooolworths yesterday. Waiting in line.... do de doo de doo. Woman walks up to the smokes stand outside the store (part of the store but ya dont need to actually go inside the shop) the check out chick turned to serve her immediately. I said to the girl ' you better NOT serve her first' She shrugged n the woman said 'oh thats fine I'll go to the tobacconist' I said ' good Woolies shouldnt be selling that shit anyway' I said to the girl ' you really think its fair Ive been standing here for 10 minutes in line n she gets served BY YOU wo are working the checkout *I* am waiting for before I do just because she walked up?? NOT RIGHT.
Ima start a campaign to get supermarkets to stop selling cigarettes.
Hey Radical scumbag muslims
YOU choose to come here. THIS is how WE LIVE. Love it or FUCK OFF back where you came from if you think its so good. We dont want your hate here. I know plenty of your coreligionists who are happy and proud to live here and good luck to them.

have you heard the one about the...
Played 6th grade on saturday and sunday. Semi final. As you can imagine if they had me in their team they must have been desperate for players. Made 7 b4 getting run out (spewing).
Guy who did most of their bowling was the fastest Ive ever faced. He hit the bat so hard it twisted in my hand and near broke my hand between thumb and finger. Shit it hurt. Hurt every time I hit the ball thereafter. Anyway we lost.
I think I am going to sand my bat back a little on the back so as to lighten it some .
the gurl is getting better from her seizure slowly. Seems the increase in dosage is working .
Aside from some random bruising here n there from cricket I feel pretty good meself.
Bugger all has happened here muchly. So not a lot to report. LEad a boring as shit life really.

not happy jan
Strike me bloody pink.
Ive been trying to log onto this stupid arsed new google account ran blog since whenever I managed to post the last one. Shit....Feb 11... crikey eh.
Lets put it this way, I HATE this new system. Cant figure out how to reverse it either.
WEll lets see... The gurl had a fit on sunday, ended up in hospital. She was out like a light for over an hour. In the hospital for nearly 7 hours. Im glad her mum, dad and brother were here to help. She is getting better though. The specialist has upped her meds.
Been walking the dog for about 6kms pretty regularly lately. She loves it n Im not suffering too much ill effect.
Ready to brain the captain of 6th grade (playing up this past 3 weeks). The bloke is 140kg if he is a gram. And he gives ME shit for being fat n slow. I reckn he weighs at least 30kg more than me n parks himself at 2nd slip where he doesnt have to move a bloody muscle for 6hours, while I seem to have a cricket ball magnet in me - the damned thing follows me, so obviously i miss the odd fielding chance. bah.
Glad to hear kassi has lost tonnes of weight. I think I keep finding it mate.
Managed to kill the DVD drive in the notebook :/ Just when we are actually gonna start using it. I got the gurl an MP3 player for her birthday. A Toshiba. Went for the good brand over the feature set. Stupid me. Fuckin thing didnt work did it? Took it back n went n got a cheaper model. Works fine except Ive kilt the drive on the notebook. So we will be forced to rip from the old desktop unless I kill that too. Oh n if ya wondering why I didnt get an Ipod... Not doing ANYTHING to encourage those tossers at Apple. fuggin things look like they made em in the 70s out of old dining tables. AND they charge a blody bomb for them. prats

3rd time lucky?
Here we go again
This is the THIRD time Ive tried to blog i the last 5 days.
One minute its there the next it is just gorn. Freaking me out.
I lost what I reckon was about 3000 words on thursday night and about a thousand last night.
Played cricket yesterday. Made 35. Was annoying as I felt I should have made a hundred. Had the bowling at my total mercy until the sun got to me. Got a little dizzy. Oh well. The drinks break came a smidge too late to save me.
Blowed if i can remember what I was flogging on about the other night either. I was flogging on I know that heh.
Some days timing is everything. I mowed the grass this morning. About ten minutes later it started raining like you wouldnt believe.
Tell me ladies
What do it all mean when a pretty young thing looks all embarrassed, lets her hair down n adjusts her breastic comfort/show levels when talking to a bloke? I know what I think it means.
Not real sure I believe it though.
I went to the pub after cricket last night. While it was a nice clean cheery place it reminded me of why I dislike pubs. Theyre full of drunk people or people seemingly attempting to gwt drunk. I am nt sure I like drunk people.
I wish the person who delivers our local newspaper would bother to trow it onto the FOOTPATH, not onto the damned road where it gets both wet and squished.
I also wish morons in shopping centres would notice when I have a full trolley n GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY when they are just wandering about doing jackshit.

so the new one is weird
youll note ive done a new template
I wrote about 4000 words last night n lost it all when I went to preview instead of publish.
Blowed if i remember what I wrote.
Got my new (old) Cold Chisel CD today.
ahhhh
good
I see ive already had something to say about dickheads in holdens previously so sorry all 2 of ya.
The point remains though
Ive discovered that yellow labrador fur tastes terrible. I got mugged by Zena and Bella this arvo.
Heh
Let em in for a treat. They jumped all over me. Heh... They give each other pats with their front paws. So cute.
Good ole Judge Judy heh
She sure dont take shit from dumb americans.

Get this off my chest
Played cricket on saturday didnt I?
Got subjected to the worst verbal abuse ive EVER heard in my life didnt I?
Bloke must have been 70 if he was a day, had a mouth like a sewer. Called myself and my teammates all the names under the sun didnt he?
Wrote a letter to the local cricket association didnt I?
So did my captain.
mouthy bastards.
Ive noticed that nearly EVERY dickhead in a car Ive seen in the past 4 months is driving a bloody holden. I'm talking 18 out of 20 of the bloody fools I see in cars are driving holdens. Lately we've had a P platers carnage epidemic on the roads. You'd think they'd maybe look at whats happening and SLOW THE FUCK DOWN a bit for a while... until the heat is off... Seems instead they are going all out to proof what total shitwits they are.
Just proving my theory that noone grows a brain until they are at least 25.
Also makes me realise just how lucky I was when I was 17.
None of my mates (the 3 that Id get in the car with) were idiots behind the wheel. Both the gfs i had back then I taught to drive so I knew what their skill levels were. While Im sure we drove in sometimes a risky manner we didnt do it when there were other people/cars about. Plain silly.

*sigh*
so my mate who runs a boarding kennel comes over n tells me theyve got a pure bred gold labrador bitch who needs a new home.
So the gurl says hmmmmmm i guess she could come for a bit of a visit to get away from the kennel for a while (been there tooo tooo long apparently). So anyway shes made herself quite at home.
still miss my Billy :/
The gurl says 'itd be wrong if you had him put to sleep, but cuz he slipped away quietly himself its ok to keep this new one'
Im not too sure about that.
Still n all Im a sucker for a damsel in distress
Im a sucker for a big wet tongue up the side of the face
Im a sucker for a big wagging tail
hell Im just a big fat sucker for nice dogs.
Gets on well with mums' gold lab bitch too. Real well. Tearing round their yard, our yard going wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ima GET you EEEK youre getting MEEEEEEEEEEE
N she DOES seem so happy to see me whenever ive gone out somewhere. i think she sleeps under my window.
she was VERY noisy at the kennels apparently. Is quiet as a mouse here. Whimpers a bit if she thinks shes gonna be left behind when we go somewhere (well DERRR unless we are going to mums' she aint coming with) n carries on like a pork chop at meal time. But i guess if id been stuck in a kennel for months id be a touch crazy too. she even likes the gurls' lil dog mocha , although based on mochas experience with Billy itll be a while b4 mocha accepts her (Billy thought she was a chew toy lol).
she has a totally poxy name though 'zena' oh well cant have everything though i think it should be spelt Xena (thats the greek ch sound NOT 'x' mr pedantic pants lol)damnit thats how ima spell it screw the iggerant.
