Now that I am older (& wiser?) I have fitted a sensible comfy seat (saddle) to my bike. Because nowadays, I like to sit occassionally when I am riding.

What have you said to bet blacklisted? Realestate.com laods directly on my phone

A long time ago I was a young, fit cyclist. I did some track racing. I can tell you the reason that the men’s bike seats are solid. If you are riding competitively the seat is only there to help you steer the bike. If you put weight on the seat you are not pedalling hard enough! So it is designed to punish the rider any time he slacks off. Women's bicycle seats are generally more comfortable because they place more importance on comfort.

Just pointing out that such restrictions come in for a reason (even if the reason is not particularly obvious to all) and quickly become the norm. They are not particularly onerous. Dear old Dotty might need a helper to assist her obtaining a recognised proof of identity, but even if she didn't, It would not have starved her to death. BTW my mother-in-law is in this category but it is not all that hard to organise.

Don't worry, the indigenous brothers in the queue all seemed to have one. No discrimination there!

Why complain about it - once a rule comes in, everyone gets accustomed to it. And going without the occassional discretionaly bottle of grog is not likely to do any harm. Try buying a bottle of red in Northern Territory. You don't get served without showing your driver's licence (or ID card). And they do not open until 2pm anyway. It's the rules, mate. And it's not that hard.

Dou you mean like USofA and Viet Nam? 😉

These landing ships don't look anything like the landing barges of old. How do they 'land' troops and tanks from it?

They seem to be whittling away at the edges of the Rusky support and logistics. Sounds like a practical approach when you are outnumered on the battlefield.

Funny. But many a true word is spoken in jest.

What? You mean they didn’t build the wall? I'll be voting for Trump for premier next time.

No excuse. Over here we rely on tall poppy syndrome to level the playing field.

The way I see it, He's already caught

I just went back and looked at the pic again. You must have a better monitor than me. Even when I zoomed in I couldn't see the cherries.

I know that a REAL bloke isn't supposed to say it, but I find that a woman's eyes (and smile) would be the most attractive physical facet of that person. And the most informative. Body shape tells you nothing about a person.

How can it be broke, what with all those wealthy toffs?
-
That doesn't surprise me. But I am surprised that you found a way to use it (that wouldn't take any other method of payment)

My ex wife used to say that about me. -
Hoax radio calls are too common. But not likely in this case. I'm guessing it might have been an inadvertant activation of EPIRB. The location would have been on the fringe of VHF radio reception fom Matsukyer Lighthouse, so maybe not able to confirm the situation.

I failed - her crooked parting distracted me.

That's only because you know that it's always important to read the fine print.

If brains were putty, his windows would fall out. (Not you, Jerry, just trying to get back to thread topic. Really!) -
You know, we have a bigger variety of crassy reds here.

On that point, I think it only assists a PAYG earner. I suspect that bigger investors use trusts, etc, to achieve similar or better tax arrangements. Is that the case, Jerry?
