"Crop Circle" JJJ Beat the Drum entry wins!

Mentioned here earlier this year, it seems the guys won it! Nice one!

“WOW!!! We won! Thank you all soooooo much for your love and support! We are still pinching ourselves wondering if it’s not all a really good dream! Cliched yes, true yes also!” – Shannon and Michael (The Drum Beaters From Struth)

Stats are cool..

“Another cycling related blog I have been reading lately is hippyblog. He is a regular on the aus.bicycle which I check now and then and has some very cool bikes.” (from: daniel’s weblog)

Thanks dude! ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ll check your blog out (http://dsearson.blogspot.com/) when I have some more time.

UPDATE: Fuggit, I read it all just then ๐Ÿ™‚

What pisses me off at concerts is knobs lifting their girlfriends into the air on their shoulders and obscuring everyone’s view of the band and seated concert venues -I’m sure I snapped off a chair at the tennis centre during that Metallica concert…

If anyone can translate Russian (I’ve tried babbelfish with no success) then this site has visited mine a few times. I’d love to know what the Russian dudes are getting from my dribblings!

Tonnes of other stats in there that mean absolutely nothing to me – which means they would mean even less to you lot!

I am a TOOL!

So, I’m still reading through Wonder Weasel’s blog and he mentions site statistics.

I think to myself “hey I wonder if my server maintains that kind of info?” and go check..

I’m digging around in there and WTF?! It seems I forgot to setup my website email forwarding (arrr!!) so I haven’t received any emails since this site’s creation!

I’ve got to the the dumbest geek ever!!!! Hopefully I’ve corrected that issue and now might actually reply to your emails.. I’m off into the depths of site admin again now to try and find site stats settings. If I don’t come out, don’t follow me in whatever you do.. I’m done for.

No Toxic Dump!

“Two State Government agencies have been accused of bowing to political pressure after a planned primary school excursion to the proposed site of Victoria’s new toxic waste dump at Nowingi, near Ouyen, was cancelled at the last minute.” (from: www.theage.com.au)

“The lack of water and sewage services means the site does not meet at least three of the Government’s “generic assessment” criteria. Reasonable proximity to Melbourne was another criteria, but Nowingi is almost 450 kilometres away.”

“The site will be used to store waste that cannot be treated, such as industrial wastes created during the manufacture of cars, clothes, whitegoods, plastics, paints and farm chemicals.” (from: www.theage.com.au)

Ride To Work Day & Bike Polo

Ride To Work Day..

I caught the train.

“What?!”, I can hear you thinking, “A cycle nut like you caught the train on RTWD?!”

Yes. I was trying to get ‘The Tank’ ready for bike polo last night and ran out of time to ride in. I didn’t even have time to scam free food! Horror of horrors!

I guess I did ride to and from the stations – does that count?

Bike Polo

Bike polo was fun. I wasn’t going to play because I only had the overgeared GT SS, no mallet of my own and I was clipped in. It turns out Dave S had a spare mallet and I only came close to toppling over a couple of times (it was on grass – nothing to worry about). The game was played near Melbourne Storm’s training ground on the corner of Punt and Swan. There was 6 of us and we played a few rounds in the space of an hour or so. I think most of the guys went to the Corner for beer but I had someone cooking dinner for me so I couldn’t pass that up. After dinner I rode home so I guess for me it was Ride From Work Day…
