I cannot be that quick. I'll let you know though.
Where are those 27 women?

MDOldFart's picture

there aren't that many good looking women, clearly he has seen the one woman 27 times.

Morgan be careful, some would call that stalking

Put me down for anything the Snoring Forties enter - I'm up for the Scott etc. If I'm lucky I might get fit again and do something mad like the Angry Doc, but at this stage I need to up the ante on my nix sizes - even lycra has a stretch limit.

But there are heaps of good looking women in Canberra ...or ... perhaps i am looking too hard ... or too much ...

Rob's picture

@Bikeboy - perhaps you just enjoy a drink or two (too many!) Eye-wink

Bikeboy's picture

It helps you see the good in everybody ......
And if you turned up for my Sparrow hill rides you would agree , beautiful women everywhere

Rob's picture

Yeah, I'd love to come on all these jaunts to Sparrow you keep having. Damn Cold. Damn Job. Damn... Sad

I take it Morgan will be in that one though? Moooorgan?

your Canberra rides are all in the bush, in the dark. I think you need new lights mate, because those "good looking girls" are in fact wombats.

I understand that when wombats are cornered in their burrows, they present their back to the intruder because of their strong bone structure in that area; if the intruder starts to attack them they repeatedly bang the intruder up against the roof of the burrow to try and crush them.

Have you been entering wombat burrows in the dead of night looking for a cheeky wombat back banging session mate?

I stand by my statement that Canberra has a fair proportion of nice looking ladies and I'd challenge anyone that's actually been here in daylight to prove that this is Mingersville. It's certainly a vast improvement on Hornsby Westfield..

Ouch. Bloody hell, I've just got another slap from 'er indoors. But I didn't mean it like that my sweet....

If you read the text in my rides it clearly states a preference for roos !! But only for conversation in the absence of any other Nobmob members . I have to agree , If you go to Kingston for a coffee and dont see any beautiful girls , you have tripped over your guide dog
