The opinionated ramblings and muses of a weary web victim.

It's been too many years.....should'a got 'em probably 5 years ago....but you know....you get slack/diverted/etc....

I've had them since I was about 15 .... I blame school/study for now having crap eyesight....used to be able to spot a Wedgie 2 miles up in the air currents [Aussies will know what that is]....but not anymore.

Needless to say things went downhill....getting the script....

First....the original optometrist has long-since moved on...so it's a new one....then they lost my history...all 40+ years of it.... then their computers went down... and their camera for photographing the back of the eye.....

Then they didn't have decent frames [as good as what I already had....] ...so I had to leave them with my 'clear' glasses....and I am now either stuck looking dimly through the prescription sunnies....[and turn up the brightness on the monitor]...or all fuzzy with the ancient glasses I never threw out...but really should....[they're NQR now]

So.... I got a week of 'making do' till the new ones are done [into the good frames] ...then go through much the same with the prescription sunnies....

And just the first lot cost me $440 so it'll be all that again for the dark lenses [polarised].

Actually....

I think I know why I waited so long....

 

 

Meanwhile....squinting at the screen typing this is an absolute pain....

It'll be quite politic if people 'tread softly' in my presence...as I am likely to strangle twits at the drop of a hat.....

 

....assuming I can see them....

As long as you can see Rossi at 50 feet, that's the main thing!! Gotta get your priorities right Paul........

World Superbikes

Rossi at 50 feet

Errr....Did he defect and i not hear about it?????
I'm guessing not though...

Anyway it's easy to find Rossi, just find the 7th place runner and you'll be sure to find him!!!

Ooooo, ding ding! And the ref takes away a point for a low blow, lol.

There IS no argument...... on equal machinery Rossi is STILL better than anyone else, he's even better than most on inferior machinery.

That's all I have to say on the matter...................

I agree....though I think if you put Rossi and Stoner on the same Duke he'd come out second best.  It seems 'lately' only Stoner has been able to ride one right....and before that me old mate Bayliss ....

If only the ships sounds in GC2 or SINS sounded like this....

Hahaha.  Maybe I'll make a mod to do that.  I still want to make one that's all cartoony like the Jetsons.    Lego might be pretty entertaining as well...  Ship or starbase blows up, lego blocks fly everywhere.  Where's Sinperium when another mod needs to be made?  =D

I agree, i just don't like dominance in a sport. '06 was great when Hayden took it to Val, makes for a better spectacle. I'd much prefer to watch a "race" then a fight to see who gets second. Same goes for Stoner, being aussie i obviously want him to do well and win, but i don't want him to win everything in sight with ease.
Winning a MotoGP race should be the hardest thing you can do on a bike, and Val made it look all too easy.

Hence my joy when he is brought down a notch...i'll feel the same about Stoner if he dominates the next year or two as well!

Capirossi seemed to have his moments, and it seemed Hayden was starting to get his head around it last season, though it may have just loked that way when compared to Val's year.
