halfwit Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 My wife is a keen cyclist, she's just bought a new Trek road bike for winter training (so her shiny fast Wilier road bike doesn't get covered in crud and salt). There's a helpfull warning sticker on the outer front fork leg; Only the forks aren't carbon, they're aluminium, as confirmed by this sticker on the inner part of the fork leg; Methinks sticker guy got carried away... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Probably just informing you of the advantages of Aluminium over Carbon Fibre On the subject of Curry - I have always wondered why you have Chicken Curry, Beef Curry, Lamb Curry and Meat Curry.

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted November 16, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Rick For some reason whenever I see the word "Possum" my thoughts immediately turn to that fine Australian aristocrat Dame Edna Everidge.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 16, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2012 my thoughts immediately turn to that fine Australian aristocrat Dave Edna Everidge. ISTR that the great lady's alter ego, Barry Humphries, used to contribute to Private Eye? 40 years ago, he coined a number of wonderful expressions for throwing up: Playing the whale Parking the tiger The great big technicolour yawn Crying Ruth Having a Hughie Calling Bill Other cultures surely enrich our own! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium petethemole Posted November 16, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2012 "The adventures of Barry McKenzie" IIRC. I had the complete set (published as a book) once; I may still have it but haven't seen it since moving house 6 years back. "Yodelling down the great white telephone" was another of his euphemisms. Barry made it into the movies, in two very silly films. Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 16, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2012 Have been rather too close to Mr Humphies / Dame Edna as I know his / her former dresser of many years. The stage persona and the man are quite different and while the former amuses and entertains the latter most assuredly does not. But it was he / she who made famous the phrase "I've only come to get my legs waxed. possums" and referred to fans / audience as "possums " on a regular basis.

Dame Edna was all too familar with her good friend Sir Les Patterson's * regrettable habit of regularly 'driving the porcelain bus' or 'laughing at the grass'. * One time Minister for the Y'arts. One hopes Dame Edna is comfortably at home in Moonee Ponds, Victoria with a vase filled with gladioli, a copy of 'Woman's Day' to peruse and one eye on the laundry hanging from the Hill's Hoist in the back yard visible through her venetian blinds.

Ozexpatriate Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Baby Magpie sheltering under our verandah during one of the recent storms we've had over the course of this weekend (7 so far!). Gymnorhina tibicen is a very distant relation to what I believe is Pica pica, also known as magpies, to our friends on the old sod. The Australian Magpie is much more akin to a crow. (I've done my time being dive-bombed by the way! One liked to nest by the Sandy Camp Road level crossing on the Lytton branch line. He went after me more than once. ... many moons ago.)

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted November 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2012 Having travelled down from Paddington overnight, sleeping in the BFK back in the good old days of 1989, I cycled down through Boscarne and on to Wadebridge. Knowing the interaction between Cornish hills and a bike I was tempted to take up the offer in the top line of the sign. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted November 20, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2012 Got problem with 'ills 'av 'ee boy? In those days I lived in the Warwickshire flatlands and worked in Bedfordshire. I'd got my camping kit with me so carrying a bit of ballast. I live in the Dark Peak now so Cornwall would be easy. Last week's quick road trip was only 20 miles but had 1600 feet of climbs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 20, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2012 I spake with tongue somewhat in cheek as I know just about every hill in Cornwall. In my younger (fitter and good health) days I was able to say I had never ever been forced to get off and push including the ascent of the 1:3 at Millook Haven with a week's-worth of kit in the panniers. 'fraid I'm not up for it now thanks to the onset of a little middle age and a lot of very indifferent health taking a toll on my fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
