I'd love to see a road bike with a bull bar. 8)
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

They look pretty good, this might be tempting, but Bart Simpson skateboarding I reckon would be cool on the rear wheel while riding!
I'd have "I love Kevin Sheedy" on the front and "Julia Rules" on the back.

I'd be safe as... :wink:

Sounds all the cliches are being covered per usual. God forbid they present anything intelligent.

Do you have any idea how bloody offensive that statement is TP! :evil:

I had cancer at 25 and following massive surgery and radiotherapy have never been able to have kids.

I have had to listen to women tell me I am "not a real woman" for years.

It took a long time for me to accept my"failings" but I met and married a wonderful man - we married and have no kids and are very happy.

We married because we were committed to each other and wanted to spend our lives together.

Is that not reason enough??
im sorry you have cancer.

it was a joke, not aimed at anyone.

so im sorry you took it that way.

marrying my husband was not done on the proviso of "only if we can have kids". we really did marry for love. that was almost 19 years ago, i think im entitled to make a joke about it. i also joke that you get less time for murder!!

my husband also has cancer, he's not cured. i try to have a sense of humour about it, or id go crazy.

i would never deliberately offend anyone, so im sorry i offended you.

neither of my sisters have kids, i dont think any less of them. the real woman statement is way our of date. its a different age.

im 30% deaf, and because you cant actually "see" that disability, people think im fair game. but it hurts. and i tell them so.

if it was a statement it would be offensive, but it was meant as a joke.

most jokes will offend someone. im sorry this offended you.
No my bad TP - over reacted :oops:

Bad day at work always happens when I have to present to the bloody midwives they do my head in!

"You deliver a pizza Susan " You birth a baby" :roll: Whatever!!

Hubby always knows - I'm talking to the midwives today - ok - he cooks and gets a nice bottle of red- no need to ask :wink:

Channel 7 report:

The argument is that in any collison with cyclists vehicle drivers are presumed to be guilty until proven innocent as a means of immediately impacting on driver behaviour.

Taking away the presumption of innocence, for a start. Appalling idea
