Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

I just want to say that I agree 1000% with everything Butchdiamond has said here!!
Kindred spirit... maybe!!

Genius or sarcasm on the HUBB!
 

Me. A role model? Are you taking the piss? :nono: If not - you must be a genius! :smartass:

Sarcasm, Moi? Ha ha.

"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" :rofl:

But Jimmie Rogers says it best:

the littlest HOBO ruled, but would have made a better tv series if he rode a bike and had rabies.

I tend towards the Nomadic, myself. A Bum suggests a person who can't financially support themselves, but if you can afford the basics that our collective interest require i.e. a bike and the running costs needed by such, then Bum hardly suffices. And if your chosen lifestyle doesn't negatively affect people around you, then Crack On - and enjoy!:mchappy:

Yeah, Nomad is a good expression, but some people seem to think of it as a fancy term for a bum!

Nomad suggests I should have sheep or something, and I don't just cats.

Yeah, but I'm from New Zealand - I don't go anywhere without a sheep, gum boots and a pair of velcro gloves... It can get lonely out there!

Pushing
 

Hey, variety is the spice of life--try it at the edge of a cliff. The sheep'll push back. (Or so I hear). Linzi.

Rudyard Kipling, born in India to English parents, spent a lifetime traveling to far off places. He once wrote, ‘There are only two kinds of men in the world: those that stay at home and those that do not.’

I think it's easier to be a female bum. Or is that bummet? One of the huge reasons more men don't take to the road I think is the huge expectations placed on them about how much their yearly income is supposed to be. Men who can emotionally bypass this obstacle are brave indeed. And for us women, often far more interesting and exciting than those working 9-5 plus overtime.

Lorraine

Yep
 

Dear Lorraine, probably true words, but from an enlightened one. Here in Sussex I can't help but notice that women seem ONLY to be interested in a guy's worth money wise. Very superficial and I feel sorry for them. Male or female, Rudyard Kipling was right, but sexist. Have you read the short gem of a book called Johnathon Livingstone Seagull? Written by Richard Bach it's touching and spiritual. Then again there's Bruce Springsteen's line Baby We Were Born To Run. My personal jinggle sometimes. Linzi.

Linzi - if you're not a Kiwi, you must be Welsh.

Nationality
 

The lovely Scottish couple who brought me up said I was their son but how can I know? Took their word for it. So I should be Scottish, but have a UK passport in which is written, "Nationality: British". Now the Uk is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (plus some islands etc), I am just as confused as the rest. And I must admit I DO have a preference for blonds! Linzi.
