More consultant humour

What's the difference between an IT salesman and a used car dealer?

A used car dealer  knows when he's lying.

If only...

No video this week, but follow this link., turn it up & enjoy the tune.

Sadly "I'm gonna stand in airport queues grousing about my job" seems more appropriate for me at the moment...

Views of Sydney, slight restrain

The bedroom views are going downhill. I'm just glad that this is my last trip for a while, next time I could be sleeping in the car park..

Don't judge a man by the size of his mower...

Our new place has a lawn, so for the first time in my adult life I need to cut the grass. In the UK electric lawn mowers are the norm, but over here real men use petrol mowers. Our lawn is fairly small and tidy so I thought I could get away with a hand-push mower, but common sense intervened and a good mate sorted me out with an electric mower. It's light, easy to use, easy to store and convenient. It's not a massively manly machine though....

I tried to make up for it with a manly strimmer / whipper snipper / lime trimmer, which to be honest is a little bit scary. Yes Neil, they're safety glasses as promised :)
 Always use power tools responsibly, kids...
After mowing a third of the lawn I'm bored of it already.....

Bowl-O-Cross

This weekend at the Qld Cyclocross Association ran an 'Bowl-O-Cross' event at the local Bowls club. We didn't get there for the heats, but a mate rang and I asked how it was. He said 'I've just seen Robbie McEwan wheelie across the finish line chasing He-Man' - welcome to cyclocross...
It was a great afternoon with some close racing, and the organisers must have been stoked that Robbie turned up to further the cause









 

Unsurprisingly Robbie won the very stylish Roubaix-themed trophy and gave a gracious speech about the fun that he had had
There's a Cx skills class coming up on 16th June - who fancies giving it a go?

Consultant humour

A late one today, sorry - was away all week and didn't get back until 7.30. What was I doing in Sydney?

Views of Sydney, slight refrain

The bedroom view isn't quite as good this time around...that'll teach us to complain about the smoke smell in the apartment!
I did get some validation in the lift though, when a weightlifter type bloke get very excited about my shoes and asked me if I know how heavy they were. See, it's not weird to weigh your shoes at all.

Three more days to go this week, roll on the weekend.....
