Are you not going to appologise again? Just a little joke. I think an appology is always welcomed by the majority of people. You and I have not always agreed on things, but in this case we do. That is the second time that this has happened - people are going to think we like each other. Better stop that now.....

Errrm, are we allowed to use logic & common sense?

I agree with this statement. The level of antagonism among some people is palpable. My take on the whole tantrum thing that has reared its ugly head is that I do have opinions however misinformed they are. If you know better, educate me. If you cannot educate me, don't call me an idiot/fool/ etc. If I still do not agree with you, that does not mean I am stupid either; it means you have not convinced me yet. Imagine if everyone had the same opinion - this is defined as BORING. Lastly, why can you people not be reasonable and see things my way?

What is this thing you call "respected Hubber"? Are they available from any LBS?

I have never played World Cup football, so I have no opinion.

I want the emoticon back that applauds - I would ave used it here. Great chirp!

Thanx for the quick response.

What about Road bikes, or do you only work on dirty things?

Silly man! Have you been sniffing fork oil again?

Hullo Johan, I also think Mr Look misunderstood your question. I am sure it was an honest mistake though.

Well, yes and no. I have seen metal shafts of more than 50mm diameter worn down by a couple of strands of waste material (basically strands of cotton)to such an extent that it has actually worn right through. Some material is more abrasive than others. If the cleats are too "strong" then the pedals will wear.

Me too! Nice to "see" some well known names again.

Are you commission based?

It is amazing how many of us have a BlackCherry!

Never again would I be able to refer to hot chocolate as "steaming' date=' hot cocoa"[/quote'] How are you on Nutty Crunch?

That is so fresh you can almost taste it!

But how would you have sex with a goat? Give it horns China?

Gives new meaning to "going home to the old goat"!

Anyone in particular you have in mind?

Fantastic - more Hubbers will be able to understand it now.

Is that not a bit repetitive? Copy and paste trouble?

See? I find that funny. It is subtle. It is the in-your-face stuff that I think is inappropriate

So here goes. BigH, your opinion as always is valued. Pity you did not vote though. My breasts, and their taste have not got a whole helluva lot to do with you though, but thank you for asking. There are some witty chirps on this poll, which you all by now know is what I really appreciate. I have one on the foulest mouths around - if you want I can get you references. My point is that there is a time and a place for everything. Perhaps this is not the place. It seems I am wrong. There are a large number of Hubbers who do not have children and therefore do not appreciate what those of us who are parents try and do. Fair enough; there are different frames of reference. Perhaps I should lower my standards? Has anyone got a shovel for me?

As of late, I see a tendency by some Hubbers to use foul language on their posts in the forums. I am not referring to political leanings (one way or the other) - that might be offensive, but normally the language used to express these views is not foul. I am not the innocent here either. I do try to use "milder words" (if such a thing exists) and even then I try to disguise the word albeit very thinly. What say the Hubbers? https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=78030&PN=3 is a reference.Gasping2010-02-25 15:01:44
