You don't drink beer? Is that legal where you are? If the Quantas commercials and Priscilla Queen of the Desert are to be believed I thought it was required. Originally Posted by crazycanuck

Bruce, I'm glad there were TE girls involved in your bike delivery. Thank you for letting us know. Makes me proud. Please know that the PM you received was the voice of one, and she does not speak for us all.
Hugs and butterflies,
~T~The butterflies are within you.

I'm sure there are others who will gladly consume your share of the beer. I learned years ago that I was always welcome at conference dinner tables in Norway as long as I accepted all drinks offered -- especially when I didn't drink them myself but left them for my tablemates.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Well - to struggle back to the debate for a moment - I'd like to point out that his 2nd post didn't exactly "out" a PM. It wasn't quoted, and no names were given. What he did say was that he had been "accused" of seeing TE as a dating forum, and he wanted to make it absolutely clear that he had had good intentions, so that nobody else would misunderstand him. I'd probably do much the same in his case.

V. Hey, have you ever had strawberries marinated in something like a late Harvest Reisling (sp)? Yum. with or without chocolate.

WHAT???? This isn't a dating service? Man, would that explain why I can't get a date....
Bruce, you can see from the headwind generated here why most men don't live in this community - we debate 'em to death with the best of intentions
Only the strong survive...
Many thanks to you and your crew over there and come home safely.
Oh yeah, and RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!Dar

I liked the fact that 2 TE-ers had been so generous and the fact that Bruce is a guy was kind've incidental! Hope you are following this Bruce and realise that we liked hearing about such a fabulous story
Well... I'm off to steal everyone else's chocolate while they have their beer and champers...
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

That could cause some people to get out their kris or poinard, since stealing chocolate is rather flagitous and would cause a bouleversment. Originally Posted by RoadRaven
