Title: Chairman
Post by: jethro on November 17, 2003, 14:49:49

Well i've just been elected as chairman of the association  :-/ , don't know how but there you go, i always knew gardeners had no brains ( only joking  ;D ). So i've got loads of ledgers, minutes of meetings, audit reports, you know light night time reading  :-/. The first thing i will do is get quotes for an electric fence  ;D to stop the 'little darlings' taking things ( must check with the council to see if it's legal first ). Any other suggestions would come in handy.

Congratulation Jethro!  Lots of paper work I expect, but I bet you will make a great chairman, with your charm and personality.  Don't let it change you will you -  No delusions of Grandeur mind?  ;Dbusy_lizzie

Grandour,grandeur, can't even spell it never mind change to it  ;D . Nothing could change me, still boring  :-/ as always. Charm and personality, none existant ,so no problems in that area. Thanks for the congrats, we'll see how long it lasts me being a rebel and all  ;D . Wait till they see me go to the lottie on a bike ( just bought one this week- end ) that'll get the old ones muttering what  :o ;D .

Hi EJ, motor, i have already got a push one but that's too much like hard work  :D ,  it's a Harley Dyna Sport  ;D 1340cc,( it cost £7000 paid cash  :o ) black and some chrome but that will change, it will be all chrome, cow bars, and upright exhausts, and custom paint  ;D . The wife has gone totally over the top saying that if i keep it it could end in divorce  :o , bike divorce bike divorce hmmmmmmmm well the bikes in the garage and that's where it will stay till i do the refit, the wife well she can do what she wants  ;D , sounds hard i know but, well you know.......

Glad to see I am not the only rebel-to-society  :o(motorcyclist) on here  ;D.

Tut, posting pictures of me in my leathers indeed!  ::)
I have never really been in Harleys and cruisers, I am much more of a sport bike chick - no good for taking your spade and hoe up the lottie though!

CB500, (passed my big-bike test in Jan 2003) mainly for commuting (80 mile round trip into London every day).

Promised myself I will keep this bike for a year.........just to get settled.........and I will keep it over the winter at least.............then we will have to see.......

.....don't think I will go for a cruiser type tho'.......too much filtering on the way to work. :o
