I've enjoyed 2 bike trips with strangers.
I had a blast at ?? number of BCF BBQs with strangers.
Had some good nights out with strangers....Shagged one or two.
My advice is strangers are no longer a danger.....Tell your kids. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Real friends are friends because the want to be and enjoy each other's company and tolerate their shite.
It is exactly the same as a marriage should be.
If you can't be mates and deal with fall-outs then you need to look for better mates.
It's a synergy or symbiosis involved.

I disagree. The majority and friendships and relationships haven't been tested, it's why you can be with someone for 20 years+, then something big happens and they separate.
Take the working with friends example, we'd known each other for years, but obviously never seen each other daily for days/weeks/months. Lots of friends fall out, or end relationships on holiday, it's no coincidence. |

After paying out for flights shipping the bike out there and sorted out the paperwork, my mate decided very quickly he couldn't be arsed and wanted to go home. This left me on my own in a country I didn't know nor did I speak the language I tried it for a week, but it wasn't very fun and pretty lonely so I came home. I don't wanna talk to him for a while as I am pretty pissed off about the whole thing, it cost me ££££ for a couple of weeks away I wished we hadn't bothered. |
Bikes went home - not to Vietnam.
It was cheaper to fly to Vietnam than home. I flew states - home - Vietnam. He went straight to Vietnam and stayed in the hotel room near the airport for four days straight.
There's more to the story that I haven't put up here. The Vietnam plan was go south to north, but that all went wrong because my mate didn't bother going to the visa counter on arrival to get his pre-arranged 3 month multiple entry visa, consequently only had 15 days in the country.
Add into that, Asia is incredibly easy to get by in, and ridiculously cheap. There are backpackers, tours, bars everywhere and everything is in engrish.
The bikes have since arrived home and his is sat at the docks incurring £12 per day storage fees because he hasn't been arsed to collect it within the 7 day grace period.
I do get what you're saying, but it really isn't like that. ____________________ You ain't a has been if you never was |

I got mates that I carry a lot, cos they are so clueless. But they return the favour.
So, for example, I will speed read a legal document, tell them what's what, and remember this information 3 months later when they panic about it all over again. Or, I will go online and sort stuff out for them, or drop everything, and for the fifth time this year, un-screw up their computer.
But....... they will sew my leathers for me. Or come round at the drop of a hat, and without more than a glance at the instructions put together a flat packed piece of gym equipment for me and get it right first time. Or help me mend my bike, or lend me one.
I don't understand how they can't understand an official letter, they don't get why I can't change a clutch. But it works.
no way would I put up with it if it was a one way street me doing all the stuff. |

Hello, l'm just back from the planet Zob after a long holiday from biker forums.
Basically he's a cnut & you are too sensitive, which isn't a bad thing because l am too...(not a cnut, l'm sensitive!)
A long time ex-friend of mine fucked me around once because he used his cousin who has visited him once as an excuse for me not to stay at his place when l was visiting Chester years ago (we previously would just knock on each others' doors & stay at each other's houses) so l did question him & he was spouting me a shit load of obvious lies instead of saying "Moorsey, l don't want you staying here anymore you're a pain in the arse!" or similar, which is 100% better than weak lies in my book!
Anyway, after a while l thought l'd hold out the hand of friendship & ask him if he'd like to meet up when l was visiting Chester & have a beer together,,,,,,"Not right now Moorsey, let's ahve a rain check on it shall we?"..............................6 months later l tried again with the same response & yet another 6 months & the same response!!!
As you can imagine l wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire now, but after having such a great friendship & trying to put him/it all in the past here l am telling all you feckers about it!!! ;-( |
