Maybe the emphasis was on the "short" rather than the calorific. As I don't know you, and therefore you could be at or above the average height for a women, this might not be the case. Just a thought!
Boyd
PS I consumed a large tin of M&S shortbread over the festive break but I would consider myself above average height. Do I win a prize?
-
Boyd - yes you win a prize.
Alice - welcome aboard the club, if you haven't already been felicitated! I would suspect the name calling person is just jealous of you and is hurting because you can indulge in yummy biccies and they cannot. So, make a cuppa, look out your window at your landrover whilst you polish your petrol-burning camping stoves and wonder who your favourite weather-man is on TV.

But far from compulsory! :D

Good job too, they'd need to get some sort of electronic tumbleweed set up to roll across the forum if we started with your actual air cooled, over 125cc, single cylinder motorcycle.
I've stopped worry about why people buy things as presents. I think we've all got so much stuff its impossible to work out what will actually be good, so, wanting to get them something you just have to plonk for something thats a bit of a treat. I'm guessing the shortbread sender just ran out of ideas. This year I'm the proud recipient of a subscription to RIDE magazine, which is a definate step up from the Harley mug of 4-5 years back. We should run a book on how long it is before this has me back in the rants section thought, 4 way 600 supersports test in Barcelona article anyone ::).
So, is the offending shortbread going spare? ;D

I didn't get a single present to unwrap this year - although my inlaws chipped in for a Halfords tool chest combo - very nice indeed.
With reference to bicuits and hypocrites as Winston Churchill would say sod em all.

I got the Good Old Fashioned "Subtel Hint >:(" as a prezzie this year.
Brother Sprogs bought me a new Bicycle Computer set up to remind me that in 2010 I have cycled less than 300 miles when, as recent as 2007, I was cycling an average of 7000 miles a year!
I have, as a result of said change in exercise, put over 100lbs weight on so the "Subtle Hint" is about as obvious as a Fart in a Smart Car!

Credentials, Suzuki GN 400, MZ ETZ 300, Yamaha RS 125. Hope that qualifies ?? ;D ;D ;D

Hey Alice, I'll show you mine, if you show me yours :-[ :-[ :-* :-* ::), and as someone mentioned earlier, any shortbreads left for us?
Oh yeah, welcome to the nuthouse.
-
Hi Alice, just remember that most of us are here because one cylinder and two wheels is all our brains can handle.
The intellectuals have 3 wheels or an extra cylinder ::)
-
The intellectuals have 3 wheels ::)
Are you infering Sir, that GC is an intellectual?
-
Well Kurt, everything is relative... one man's intellectual may be another's er... (what's a PC word for idiot :o ??)
Are there any mountains 8) near Perth, near in European terms?
-
Are you infering Sir, that GC is an intellectual?
LOL :D I hardly think that's likely. I read the latest instalment of Stephen Fry's autbiography this christmas and there were passages of that I struggled with ;)
Most motorcyclists seem to think that it's an absence of brain cells that leads to the fitting of a sidecar.

"...Most motorcyclists seem to think that it's an absence of brain cells that leads to the fitting of a sidecar."
Or the assured series of sudden impacts following the fitting which guarantee the absence of brain cells? ;) :D :P

MMmmmmmmm MZ ! AND Shortbread !
Tidy !
CG 125,Bonnie Sidecar.Land Rover and several Petrol Stoves.
Now on my seventh outfit does that make me an interlectual type thingy ?
Or does the hoard of East European Vehicles in my past counter act that ? ;D

Hmmm I think Im in halfway house then...I have 2 bikes, 3 cylinders and 4 wheels...dunno where this is leading tho.
btw....A Very warm welcome to you Alice and as was said before (in a fashion) photos would be really nice, but again not obligatory. There is a wealth of knowledge in this club, to be extracted as and when necessary, but the sarcasm can be very alarming (and off putting) sometimes ;)

Only if you can talk Landrovers,own a petrol stove and bring the short bread ;D
Does the fact I now have 4 cylinders and three wheels make me like a rocket surgeon or summink? ???
Actually, I'm far happier with the MZ level of technology. Welcome to the nut house, you sound like someone who'll fit right in. ;)

Att El Vencejo,
Yes we have very high mountains closer to us than the European hills, They are tho innacessible as we would have to cross the sea to get to them in northern India/Nepal ::) ::) ::). Perth itself has several very high seamounts not too far off shore, and some rocks called the Stirling Ranges down south. We also have the Darling Ranges approx 30 klm from Perth which rise to a lofty 300 meters. Other than that its rather pretty flat.
The sunny Riviera like beaches here make up for lack of curves with curves of a different kind.
Att GC , I know what you mean ,I used rule "1.5lb ball pien hammer to forehead" method before setting off on the outfit. I would occaisionally reapply treatment when on longer trips.
PS I have also owned a series 3 (88) and RR I should have stopped the hammer treatment much earlier.
-
...PS I have also owned a series 3, 88 and RR...
My Series 3 IS an 88" ??? or do you mean you had a Series 2/2a and a Series 3?? Or that your Series 3 was an 88... think I'll just shut up and go for a lie down... :-\
-
Its that hammer treatment Smudge,
I mentioned the "88" as well with the series 3 so you would know I wernt bullshytting LOL, in fact I only had the one, the series 3 with the short wheel..... ooooh you know what I mean...
My outfit was also plaqued with a spare cylinder at the time but it was a two banger so is that the equivalent of a four?
-

Ha ha ha, my brain cells must be diminishing, I used to run a Reliant trike.
If you;re passing you are welcome to all the shortbread you can manage. Save me from myself :D

Att El Vencejo,

Good and bad... the mountains around here are around 2000m, the beaches of the southern med. are just 45mins away and our nearest are populated mostly by large German women; think retired East German shot putters, 1980's :-\ :)
Hi Alice, I don't travel North much, but let me know if you ever fly into Málaga... smuggle in shortbread and custard creams :)
-

Ah ! Proper Land Ladies......mine a Series 3 88 CSW 2 1/4 Petrol,Fairey O/D and Freewheel Hubs. ;)
Pinched some Shortbread off Mother !
