Beer witchlet and Wintersun

Not sure whether it's my connection or my newsreader, but here's my
second attempt at posting this:

Okay, I take back everything I have ever said about the horrors of
parenting.

My attendance at Wintersun has been seriously in doubt since my - ahem
-
wheelchair incident... and I have been seriously concerned about my
ability
to witch.

This evening, my lovely non-motorbiking daughter suggested a Thelma
and
Louise (without the cliff at the end) road-trip to Wintersun (if I
hire the
car!) coz she knows how much I was looking forward to it. She is such
a
petal!

She is thinking it will be a nice mother-daughter road-trip, and will
firmly
entrench her as my next-of-kin <evil grin>. I am thinking it would be
a
fabulous opportunity to get her over her fear of bikes <even more
evil
grin> once she gets there. She will also do the witching if my leg
refuses to cooperate.

So.... pending next Monday's pronouncement from the surgeon it looks
like,
thanks to my lovely girl, I won't have to miss Wintersun!

You probably won't ever see me say this again, but:
AREN'T CHILDREN WONDERFUL????

*looks around to make sure no kids are looking over shoulder*

Yup... when they are like that they are bloody great!

Almost makes up for the other times ;-)


G-S

 

That's fabbo news Betty ! I hope your ulterior motive manages to work
out.. rides together will be even more likely to entrench her as next of
kin

It looks very much like the first one

Thursday, and I'm not piking yet

 

Where's a good apos'trophe witch when you need one?

 

I read it as exasperation at the game she's playing with her daughter..

 

Well, you started off okay, but now I'm going to have to refer you to
the dash police for abuse of punctuation.

 

LOL --- you can never have too much punctuation <snigger>

It's all good, Johno Petal...

Hyphen Police.


BTH
(Referring Damien to the Pedantry Police).

 

No, the Dash Police are the correct authority in the aforemention
incident - hyphens and dashes are completely different punctuation
characters, and used in different contexts.

It's a bit hard to demonstrate properly in this environment, but
essentially a dash is used *between* words, whereas a hyphen is used
*within* words.

(you should have sent someone other than the Pedantry Police to get me -
I put a sign on the front door containing a redundant tautology, and
they're just standing there arguing about it now)

 

Yeah - but is a dash the equivalent of cruise control?

 

You're thinking of cars again Peter; bike cruise-controls are on the
handlebars not the dash!

 

And similarly on a 1200RT...

Mr H ...not buying into this ono!

 

Any of you see the tv artical this morning about the anti club laws in
=S.A ?

 

....as opposed to all those bikes that have cruise-controls on the handlebars
that DON'T have cruise-controls?!!?
Logic ain't really your strong-point is it.....

 

What? are they trying to control bikers on cruisers? That'd be... like
......

Grandkids are great. My wife has a sticker on the fridge whihc says
"If I'd known grandchildren were so great, I'd have had them first".

Yup , fill 'em up with sugar and red cordial then 5 minutes later give
'em back .
