  • Island Life: Still not over it,

    Isn't it a matter of economics? If we want bikies and PEDS XING the Harbour Bridge, we'd have to impoverish car owners to the point they can't afford anything else than to cycle.

    Even then, I bet most would take the bus, despite long wait and travel times.

    Another problem that bicycle commuters soon discover is that many workplaces don't even have somewhere to lock up your bike, let alone changing room with shower.

    Cycling isn't ever going to become a popular, convenient thing to do. I'm fine with that actually.

  • Island Life: Tear down this wall.,

    Cubicles uncool. Offices with lockable doors better. Means you don't have to see your fellow salary slaves if you don't want to.

  • Island Life: Who Was That Masked Bag Man?,

    David has written several Thribbing pieces in the past.

    Lines on the Death of Chairman Mao

    So.
    Farewell then
    Chairman Mao.

    You are the
    Last of the
    Great revolutionary

    Figures. You
    And I
    Had little in
    Common

    Except that
    Like me
    You were a poet.

    Though how you
    Found time
    To write poems

    In addition to
    Running a
    Country of
    800 million people

    Is baffling
    Frankly.

    That one wasn't by David though.

  • OnPoint: Don't cry for me, Argentina,

    I can't believe you're selling out like this, Keith. Was it the money? How much? Just tell me. I can take it. Honestly. Snout in the trough and legs in the air kind of riches? With a bit of fame and fortune cookies sprinkled on top?

  • Hard News: Moments,

    ... she had a man around, "and he gave me digital". Eeew!

    There's an analogue follow-up joke in there somewhere, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

    No tongue-in-cheek responses, please.

  • Hard News: Geekstravaganza,

    Oh, and can someone write me a script to replace all instances of "your mum" with "a mainstream consumer"?

    What did you just call my dear mum? Step outside, now!

  • Island Life: Feeding the hens,

    Oh, and you flubbed the link to my blog on Stffu.

    For that I will crash my mountain bike into your miserable abode that is overpriced by at least thirty per cent.

    Three out of four videos are no longer available. What to make of that? Eh? Eh? Eh?
