For Mr Sherm

On the re-adjustment I have to concurr with Jim. I almost told an airline pilot to F#$% O%^ the other day when he began to complain about a five minute delay in his arrival to Melbourne. I thought you little over paid turd have you ever tried to get into Turkmenistan!

That I came close to saying it let alone contemplated saying it is quite telling. I am totally over the mind numbing beauracratic shit and pointless complaining associated with structured work. Overbearing bosses that insist on your complying with their pathetic pointless whims. Even bike clubs that lose sight of there purpose and become more pre-occupied with the processes involved in running them. Who gives a shit about minutes where's the and the conversation.

Sometimes i wish I didnt speak english so when I sat in a local cafe i didnt have to listen to the meaningless drivel that is the background chatter, while travelling I could imagine people were talking on a higher level..of course they werent really! But how was I to know.

But if I ever want to do it again I must hold my tongue and slowly I am being drawn back in. Difficult when you can see your country becoming a mean and non-inclusive society that believes justice is holding people in desert concentration camps for years because they were fleeing war and injustice.......how lucky they are!

Urrrrrgggghhhh

There is no comparison to bike travel....go go go.

PS I suppose if you do it you are a bit different anyway and solo trips let you indulge your difference unimpeeded, unshackled and unencumberred with the trivialities of everyday life.
