Elefanttreffen

Given the Africa run hasn't happened, I think the UKRM does stupid
things group (I'm looking at the Frankfurt runners here) should pull
their fingers out, book time off work, find a suitably unsuitable
vehicle and go.

26.01.2007 - 28.01.2007.

You know you want to...

 

I've just read an account of this thing on the thumper page, and the
whole way through reading it the words "you stupid, stupid cunts" were
going through my mind.

 

I have always had a yen to do the Elephant, and every year I see the
pictures in the press, and recall the Ogri cartoon where it's likened
to Stalingrad, and thank God I didn't go after all.

Um.... where does it happen?

 

TOG@toil, ,

somewhere very very cold. Seriously, never mind the stupidly long ride
to get there, camping in tents where you have to shovel snow out of
the way first is stupidity squared.

BTW, you do know your headers reveal who your employer is, don't you?
Google groups isn't very anonymous.

 

Champ () gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

You might like to run that IP through SamSpade...

 

Why didn't it happen? Curious because I booked the entire whore-house
for their arrival at my village on the way. Cost me a fortune.

I went back to uni, Platy went EKS, not sure what the other excuses
were something piffling about holiday time and money availability I
think.

2 goats and a swim in your pool?

 

You are out of your tiny little mind. You'll need studs!

 

That has been suggested, but nowhere above did I say I'd be going...

RIPE are the european IP registry, kinda subcontracting for the region
from ARIN.

 

Oops.

 

He's posted stuff using a work email before, when recruiting IIRC, so I
guess he doesn't GAF

 

Nah, camping down to about -30 is fine. Nothing a good sleeping bag
and a primus can't sort out. Just a bit of a bugger when your face is
frozen to the pillow in the morning.

I wanted to go years ago but the stories of gas cylinders freezing so
you couldn't even make a brew in the morning put me off.

When it's cold.

 

The only advantage in camping in temperatures below freezing is that
if you get pissed and deposit a pillow pizza it freezes solid
overnight and you can just peel it off in the morning and throw it
outside.

 

Studs are here. We have bikes.

 

One of the big problems was that it would have taken most of a fortnight,
and a large amount of money. Sweller calculated it would cost him a grand
in two-stroke oil alone.

His face is his fortune.

 

Loh.

Use propane instead of butane.

Bonwick: nesh as Champ

 

Ha. That might be the case with Mrs Bonwick but I actually enjoy
camping when it's cold. Riding bikes in the cold is a different
matter...
