Moving On

Bro Deal

Those lazy justcycling guys only post 9 - 5 or whatever crazy hours those Brits work. Morning tea to high tea?

It is 5 o'clock in the morning in London Bro...

And they never went without a morning and afternoon tea break. I think it was Washington's core strategy to attack at these times...

The Brits were like... "That's just not jolly polite of the chap... here...please take my tea... now where's my firing weapon?"

Didn't you beat the Mexicans like that in San Jacinto as well?

Lesson #1: Never fight insomniac Americans.

What are you talkin about insomniac Americans? Bro is a rare breed indeed. Most of the time they are yawning at 9:30 for bed (or perhaps that's just because I am an interminable bore... )

And a lot go to work at like 5:30 am...

No Cranky - it was a reference to the battle of San Jacinto, where the Texans attacked the Mexicans when they were sleeping. It's how they got Texas after they lost at the Alamo.

Bro is indeed a rare breed. Being a Queenslander though, maybe don't knock people going to bed at 9:30 and getting up too early - seems to be all the rage up there still.

Not when I left.

I might have to reconsider where I relocate to now. Moving to Sydney or Melbourne has the added benefit of putting a plane fare between me and the rest of my family as well. After almost 20 years... I've grown accustomed to seeing them only once every 18 months or so... which has worked out great...

And thanks for the Texas history lesson. I lived in Houston for three years... so you'd think I'd know something about that. BTW... I always wondered why the Alamo guys were considered heroes and martyrs.... They were just US fugitives and Mexican revolutionaries IMO. Bunch of selfish and criminal land grabbers. In the context of Texas' subsequent independence from Mexico... they could erroneously be considered Texas patriots... but at the time it was just Mexico... and they weren't fighting for an independent Texas or for the US...they were just Mexican and US law-breakers fighting the Mexican government for their ill-gotten personal property.... because most of them couldn't go back to the US and face the law there for their previous US crimes.

Didn't Ozzie Osbourne get arrested after a concert for peeing on a building that turned out to be the Alamo?

Ummm...mightn't that be because you were about 20 years old? I'm sure they still stay up past 9:30...


I'm pretty sure I stayed up all night 20 years ago...in fact I didn't even go out until 9:30 or later...God, that was great. Before that whole responsibility thingie.... I would even stay up all night now...if I could sleep in. Damn. Now I'm depressed.

I am not sure you guys get what makes a good forum. Idiots like House are very important. You also need nutjobs like Whereagle who are only able to function when they take their crazy pills. A few fat crazy bitches like Kathy Mehl

The best forum ever was the Paceline.
