  1. that must mean you're all a bunch of bitches
  2. building gives you so many options, I hope you are designing your own place. We did a major reno 4 years ago, went owner builder. In hindsight we should have bulldozed what was here and built from ground up. We also made the mistake of living in our renovation mess as we built (obviously you wont have that problem) The devil is in the detail as they say, keep a close eye on what is being done and as soon as you perceive any problem, act on it immediately. Builders, contractors and tradesmen are NOT your friends, they are professionals doing their jobs, treat them as such. Clear and precise communication is paramount to a happy end result. here's a couple of before and afters. before during after wife likes red (that's why she bought me a Ducati)
  3. Wow, never knew these people existed, but yes it does make sense, and it is a great loss. On a positive, there seemed to be quite a large team and hopefully more bike riding doctors will be inspired by this selfless individual
  4. do they have a category with pillions ? my wife would love that !
  5. Great write-up, love the part where Rossi asked Pedrosa what he was doing fighting for the win on track.Rossi has totally lost his marbles, and has a warped perception of reality
  6. Marquez has made the statement that Rossi kicked his front handlebar, which of course was denied by Rossi. Rossi was watching Marc till he was in the right position and deliberately kicked kicked him. In the slow motion footage you can see Marc's helmet jerk backwards as Rossi's knee strikes him in the face. Also, in the slow-mo there is something more than Rossi's foot being"knocked off" the peg, looking at Rossi's knee it actually moves backwards. This backwards movement is not the direction of travel for a foot being "knocked" off the peg If Rossi's foot had truly been knocked off, his knee should have moved forward and possibly downward if he was weighting the outside peg in the corner.
  7. Rossi does not deserve to win the championship.Lorenzo is a far better champion
  8. Marquez said he was disappointed with Rossi's actions on track, and post-race in the stewards' room. "We were having a good race up until the incident - we started a fight between us and I always passed without making contact with him," said Marquez. "At Turn 14 he passed me on the inside and I saw him looking at me. I didn't know what to do. "Then he kicked out at me, knocking my brake lever, and I crashed. "Both what Valentino said to race direction and what he did on the track has made me disappointed. "I've never seen anything like it: a rider kicking another rider." But Spaniard Lorenzo had called for Rossi to be punished, adding: "It's clear that he took Marquez off." "Marquez did not play with both of us, he played only with me," Rossi said. "He isn't playing fair. He would prefer Lorenzo to win. He is angry at me for a personal matter." But Spaniard Lorenzo had called for Rossi to be punished, adding: "It's clear that he took Marquez off."
  9. Just watched the post race press conference, Rossi never showed.The consensus of the other riders, was that Rossi should have been black flagged or given a ride through penalty. I personally think that Rossi's actions on the track were malicious and shameful. The worst unsportsmanlike behavior I have ever seen in the 28 years I have been following this level of motorcycle racing. Also the Malaysian crowd should hang their heads in shame, booing anyone is definitely not acceptable. I have not particularly liked Rossi ever since he made a statement that Casey Stoner wasn't trying hard enough on the Ducati in 2010. In 20011 with Rossi on board the Ducati, he could not even get a podium, poetic justice I say. Rossi may be the greatest rider in the modern era, but I now think he has done the inexcusable, should be stripped of third place and be banned till next season! Edit: I replayed the incident over a few times, and it looks like Rossi deliberately smacked Marc in the face with his knee !!!!
  10. You are right Rab, I did fracture her shoulder while in Greece.She is actually a Marquez fan like myself, but she did like Rossi over Lorenzo, but now has changed her mind because of Rossi's comments. Women, can't live with them, can't live with them
  11. Yeah, my wife is a Rossi fan.But I forgive her (I have to)
  12. we did a total house reno, and basically re-wired the whole house. cost $13500 put in cat 6 + coax to 4 rooms + foxtel cabling to 2 rooms with a central comms unit in the laundry. in the study we had 3 of each and lounge we had 2 of each and still ran out of RJ45 ports! moral of the story, put in twice as much as you think you need
  13. Wow, I think that Valentino Rossi has just psyched himself out of winning the Moto GP championship with the comments he has made about Marc Marquez. totally incredible, preposterous even. Rossi said, amongst other accusations, that Marquez was playing with him at Philip Island, letting Lorenzo get a gap so Rossi couldn't catch him. During the race (as we were screaming at the TV) my wife exclaimed on several occasions, that "Marquez is going to bin it" cos he was so on the limit In the Malaysian press conference Marquez was left looking a little bemused
  14. Just watched Matchstick Men, never saw it in 2003. 12 years later and its a really good movie that cons you till the very . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . end
  15. looks good, needs window tint. Personally I hate the "falcon" head in the decal, rims look good, needs to be lowered. Fog light surrounds need to be black or gold.
  16. I like Simon Peg, a couple of good laughs, romantic comedy, sort of
  17. Great race, had me out of my seat yelling at the TV. Andrea Iannone's move on both Marquez and Rossi at the bottom of Lukey was something Ive never seen before, sensational!!! Funny, Lorenzo had the sh@ts with Iannone after qualifying, but was his best friend after he came third and kept Rossi off the podium. Looking forward to see if Lorenzo can shrink the points gap at Malaysia this weekend. Would be good if they arrived at Valencia where it would be winner takes the championship!!!!!
  18. Yesterday there was a woman in a Mazda cx7 in the right lane traveling from a 80k zone into a 100k zone, I was behind her for awhile and she was not accelerating so I undertook her and boosted up to 100. After I undertook her she then decided to accelerate to what must have been 120k to catch and pass me only to slow right down to a crawl when we got to a transition back to 80k. I passed her again in the left lane (doing 80k) where she then immediately accelerated and sat beside me. we came up to a set of traffic lights and there were about 6 cars in the left lane and she was the only car in the right lane. After she had passed me and stopped at the red light, I changed lanes and came up behind her. She then put her car into reverse and moved backwards to within inches of the front of my car. I was like WTF are you doing you stupid bit@h. The light turned green and she just sat there in reverse, until after a few seconds she put it in drive and took off. I was trying very hard to figure out what I had done to piss her off to instigate the beginnings of a possible road rage incident. I figured that she must have been pissed off that I undertook her (I think I possibly spun the rear tyres and gave her a fright ) But really, WTF is wrong with people!
  19. fantastic to see Jack Miller going hard at the island. hope he can make top 10 in FP3 tomorrow! I assume that you are having a great time there Rab I'm jealous that I'm not there soaking up the atmosphere
