    Who will look at it askance, and then put it with Granny's china
    figurines in a back shed for a decade until the guilt about throwing
    it out recedes enough to give it St Vinnies

    There was a glass jug in the news the other day that someone bought
    for 25 quid at a 'getting rid of granny's junk' sale. it was then
    thougth to be a 18th century French thing and was resold for 200,000.
    turns out the astute person who bought it knew it was from the tenth
    century, there may be six more like it and they are hoping to get 2
    million or more at auction.

    Not likely for a 250MZ though.

    Nor likely that the owner of an MZ is likely to be hoarding 10th C
    glass jugs either. More likely a collection of those jam jars that
    became drinking glasses once you'd emptied them.

    Or to put it another way the adjective "parsimonious" is more likely
    than "aesthete"...

    Got that response above, logical to me. Then again I've had about 4
    hours sleep in the last 2 days so ..
    I get the feeling the word "Drag" frequently in the sentence (as
    highlighted) and the references to frocks go quite well together.

    Send it over, been trying to put weight on for years.

    There should be room in George's shed for it if you don't want to post it.

    And here I was thinking my ex wife was the ugliest thing I've seen..

    I am now revising that opinion.

    Wearing a kidney belt may help ease the shoulder pain a bit, also, a
    massage a few days before a long ride helps too.

    I'm not sure the police could actually mount any sort of case based
    merely on heresay they read on usenet and no evidence.

    Amazing, the difference a good massage makes. I had one just before my Cann
    River ride and it made a hell of a difference to my riding, simply because
    all the knots in my shoulders had been loosened. Makes a big difference to
    confidence as well, if you can corner with loose shoulders instead of those
    bloody tied-in-knots ones. What I've found is that the tighter your
    shoulders are, the tighter they become - vicious cycle really...

    I've booked in for another massage the day before I head to PI (and will
    have one when I get back as well.) Years ago I used to have massage
    regularly (I have some back 'issues' - and ppl used to scoff: "Massages?
    Bloody looxury!" but I always considered them a vital part of basic
    maintenance...

    I just saw it as a transparent device to introduce the "drag" pun.
    I respect that sorta' behaviour!

    I have had a 90 minute full body massage every six weeks for about the
    last 15 years. Highly recommended.

    The Fed police can pick you up for suspicion of anything at all, and
    hold you for 4 days without notifying any of your family. After they
    release you uncharged, and you tell your wife where you've been, they
    can jail you.

    Indeed, it's supposedly anti-terrorist, but they don't actually have
    to prove you have contact with or links to terrorists, they don't even
    need a *reasonable suspicion* (which is a specific legal test) or even
    any grounds at all, they just have to assert that they (the Feds)
    think you're a terrorist. Noice, welcome to the CCCP down under.
    I hope you don't have a cousin in England
