...we all read the news (biking and non-biking related).   We all watch TV.   We all talk in the pubs.   ....So... if you have anything good worth discussing, THEN POST UP A TOPIC! Let's get some good laughs going, and make good use of the forum where possible.                                                                                                                                                                             

George Clooney fractures rib in bike accident Film star George Clooney fractured a rib and his girlfriend broke her foot when the two were knocked off his motorcycle by a car in New Jersey on Friday, the actor's spokesman said. Clooney, 46, and his companion, Sarah Larson, were treated for their injuries at the Palisades Medical Centre, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, and were released, spokesman Stan Rosenfield said. "He was treated for a hairline fracture of a rib and road rash," he said. Larson, who was a passenger on the motorcycle ridden by Clooney, suffered a broken foot. Both were wearing helmets. Rosenfield said  the accident occurred when a motorist signalled a left-hand turn, but turned right and struck Clooney's motorcycle. The publicist said he did not know whether the driver of the car was cited for the accident.                                                                                                                                                                               

I have been on holiday.   I had to share a room the size of a telephone kiosk with a father who snores, farts and makes noises in the night. (No sleep for a week)  I fell into a rock pool head first in front of hundreds of laughing holiday makers.  I was attacked by a swarm of wasps, (Still having nightmares)  I was chatted up by a lovely lady (it doesn't happen often) but I had my dad with me and he wanted to get back to his room, he said. "I think she was chatting you up son.  You want to be more careful"  Geezus at my age I don't want to be bloody careful!!!!  The weather was wet (very) and windy (very).   Oh, the food was ok.

Welcome back rube, good to have you and your humour back. Sounds like uv had a great time tho haha.   And you're supposed to start new topics/discussions about news etc, thats the whole point.

Ok here is some news I created earlier.     According to our roving reporter in North Wales who shall remain nameless (Rubecula) it is now a legal requirement for riders to carry a dog turd on the back of the bike.  It never beats you an the back to tell you to slow down... thereby causing you to have an accident.  So it is safer than a pillion.   Further tests show that the fresher it is the better weapon it makes for smearing on gatsos, police cars windscreens and steering wheels of open topped saabs which seem to think they own the road.   This law was passed today by a small brown mongrel.         (See I can create a news story for you)                                                                                                                                                                             

hahaha - very funny.  Think I saw the same story on BBC (i wish!  U shud be an MP Rube lol)
