Foxy,

'Come on - it's fun - and you'll be most welcome!'
Haha thanks for the offer Foxy, but I'm not sure you can speak for the others. Anyway, I'm much happer being a grumpy old man. I would like to address you as foxy woxy from now on though if that's ok.

Dear Houellebecq,

Only if I can call you "Dear Heart?"

(see it is fun!).

Given my appalling spelling I find I write on Open office (its free and better than word) and therefore have it in memory if the server decides to eat my posts.
Also if the error comes up simply push return page and then copy the post re load the page then post again. But guess you know that anyway.

Perhaps the system is a plant by the CIA to monitor our subversive inclinations. :-|
Neither E ant or I could get on the other night.

the “old “dig was a family dig at e Ant.( Family banter.) He's threatening to throw my tea out now
I suspect that the motivation for most of the signs is a declaration. Parental pride is one thing but it does have its limits but “privileges?” Your right we shouldn't generalise without qualification.

Rationality tells me that 4wd s (grrrrr!)are merely like dirt bikes (grrrrrrX2) without mufflers(GRRRRRR ) are merely inanimate objects, tools. Its the tools that drive SOME of them that try my patience.
To me their like road trains not allowed in the city . There's no need for them. Perhaps Bull bars should at least be banned as they are cited as being a greater the cause of pedestrian/ car deaths and damage in general. There was a case recently where a Young man crashed in to another car killing the woman driver and one of her two children. The police determined the bull bar was a major contributive factor to the deaths.

Dirt bikes are fine 'on the dirt' in suburbia at 3 am without lights and muffler on the foot path ridden by 14 yo boys or bush bashing in nature reserves?

Welcome back.

On topic um well.... sorry ....I recon that everything we do and say declares our personalities including these signs. The trick is to interprete then correctly taking into account for individual differences.
