Hello, Anyone out there? - 2

I'll have to get a cape!! Then I could be a Super Hero!! :)

AAAHHHRRRRRRRR Growl, Catwoman ? :laugh:

Wow, I was just watching my local news. They say that my local train station is handling 5 million passengers a day over the last 3 days. It will take another 4 days for all the holiday traffic to clear. I just can't imagine that amount of people traveling at one time. I am glad I stayed at home this year.

Holy crap, 5M per day! Wowee...

Glad you enjoyed the Douglas Adams prose. It's pretty cool, and - amazingly to non-Aussies - not far off the mark...

For Sydneysiders, I'm about to test the waters to see if there's interest in a local gathering (my usual bike group) to watch the PI WSB round; please respond here (or by PM) if you'd like to come along to whatever is arranged. I only associate with decent folks if that helps, and you are most welcome to grill me before committing :) I'm in the Inner West.

Roby, it just worked out that for the PI WSB round I'd be in Sydney; when we have another local-ish race (Sepang etc.) and I'm in Queensland, we'll take it from there.

Did any of you have trouble with the live timing on motogp.com ? I thought it might be only me, as I was downloading "Hairy Italian Women" at the time :D I hope they get it sorted soon.

I hope you realise that I was only joking, about having trouble with the timing :D

Or if you don't mind being called gay if you are a bloke. If you're a good looking sheila then blokes will come running to help, even if you're in the middle of a desert! ;)
