I work in an open plan office and keep getting strange looks because I keep laughing. Do you think I should show everyone my helmet and explain?
It could get me into trouble as I am not supposed to be on the net.

Dear GorillaGal,
GorillaGal wrote:Phill, I will be in Larnaca for Christmas, with no plans for dinner. if you are cooking, that sounds delicious. can i join you and Dot? and will you show me your helmet as well? ever shown the helmet to two women at one time?


Oh err.... I'm blushing :oops: This year I will be serving dinner (weather permitting) on the beach, and could expose my helmet but fear that the nip in the air will force me to cover it with the "custom knitted and breathable but lined cover" I've had made (As an enginner I taken out some preventative maintenance on my helmet to prepare for the winter months),.... thus being more amusing than admirable. Have not exposed it to 2 ladies yet.... :roll:

Dear Bill,
Maybe with your experience and my enthusiasm we form some sort of a tag team, I also have a spare and unused "custom knitted and breathable but lined cover" and a little saddle soap should you need it. The cover is of good quality and made by the company "Bell" end the chilly evenings and fit one, they're great. :wink:

Dear Acorn,
As for showing everyone in your office your helmet, go for it.... but you might need to explain the discolouration of it. As for farting I once tried to light mine and succedded, nice neat 6" flame... the guys in the workshop were rolling around in stiches.... I was just trying to prove that we produce methane gas, and as they didn't believe me I had to prove it... at the time I couln't think of a better way. Unfortunatly as an end result my apprentice tried to copy but ended up melting his tracksuit bottoms, which in turn left them with tears in thier eyes.:lol:

Ah ~~ the WW ( my initials incidentally ) wonderful for all those winter outdoor activities that may affect your helmet ~ Custom knitted eh ~ does that mean you will come and measure my helmet before manufacture :roll: ~ as I'm very fussy who handles my helmet ~ do you have a lady assistant with lightly lubricated and warm hands that could help :wink:

I'm struggling slightly with your comment that a member of the Japanese air force would make you cover up your helmet ~ Obviously I'm not that familiar with Japanese customs regarding helmets.

I must admit that years ago I used to wear a pair of my wife's tights to keep my legs warm and of course my helmet in a safe warm place ~ sadly due to a silly accident I ended up in hospital embarrassingly having the tattered remains of my wife's tights cut away and my helmet exposed ~ I've never worn them since ~~ well not outside the house anyway ~ not that I'm admitting to anything you understand but they do keep you warm :)

Farting ~~~ I must be very very naive as only the other day I was talking to a lady :roll: in a bar and she leaned forward showing me her ample cleavage and whispered in my ear that she was a hot ar*sed kind of girl and needed something to put the fire out ~ Had I realised what she really meant I'd have given her a glass of water to throw on her backside to sooth the methane burns ~ sounds like a dangerous activity to me .

I'm also familiar with Bell ~ end of line products ~ a very old company that sadly only gets the piss taken out of it now after being in full production for many years :lol: ~ yes as you said a great company that has been reduced to desperation due to flagging production ~ they really need an entry into the Eastern Euro pean work force to stimulate the company into full production again .

Oh ~ by the way the biggest producers of rectal methane gas are cows ~ perhaps that lady I met at the bar was a cow ~~ in fact I'm sure she was because by the look of her she really needed milking :shock:
