Hello iana, I was going to comment on your last sentence but, because I am a good mannered young fella, I didn't.
Simmo.

 

 

 

OK, I supposed it won't, you didn't use a capital "B" on the word but.

 If you are going to pick on somebody's typing, get it right.   You don't start a sentence with the word 'but'.  There should have been a comma after 'landslide' but who really cares. 

Iana, would this have been in the Tararuas? My dad used to go deerstalking and pig hunting there in the '40s and '50s.

Young Simmo, please enjoy the threads without being so critical, judgemental and smart-alecky all the time.
If you come back with a re-buff I will not be replying.

Yes, I have read all of Barry Crump"s Books Iana. My dad was a dairy farmer, he and his brothers, cousins etc would go up into the hills  as an extra activity.

That must be where I inherited mine from. I have always referred to my leg/ calves as tree stumps.

I have only been in Grey Nomads a couple of months but, I have come to the conclusion that about 2% of Grey Nomads are different to the other 98%, so I will try and be gentle. Age effects everybody differently.
Simmo.

I thought the 2%'s were the OMCs

My brother towing me in a 1958 Ford Anglia .Popular shape.. In his 1972 Falcon GT ..
How I kept that thing from rolling is beyond me .. My shoulders dam near scrapping on bitumen ...lol
Another time.. Yes being towed ...
Our tractors gearbox had failed..
My father towed me on Fordson tractor to local workshop..
At about 40 kph the water in rear tyres starts going around with tyre ...
Can you believe how unbalanced this is at speed.. .?
The back or whole tractor was bouncing off the ground so high I could see the front of the car towing ..
Than god my Dad couldn't see me and slowed down .. For a second he thought chain had broken..
Then he said I was there in rear view mirror .. Man did I give him a telling off .. Even tho he was my father ..
I slightly applied brakes and it seemed to steady things down ..

Troopy,
The OMC's are 1%

 Ah OK, I knew there would be a difference somewhere...  So who are the 2%ers? And does that mean they are twice as bad?

Apparently, Goofy Foot's (LH oriented) are also sometimes called two percenter's. newsroom.kpmg.com.au/

HaHaHa, Possum 3 I love the KPMG version of the 2%ers, However it is entirely different interpretation to The Grey Nomads Version, ?

I do believe that I was the one to introduce it on this forum about 2 years ago, -- When the forum had a couple of trouble making Trolls that would cause plenty of disruption, Dave69, And Bluey were two that come to mind,but there were others,   They would take an opposing view to almost any post any any subject, just to create disharmony, They were Loud, Boisterous, Rude, and experts at everything possible They knew everything, had done everything, were the best at everything, and If you agreed with them , Fine ! if not, well you are wrong, Fortunately they pushed the line a little to far and got Banned 

So like all other forums, The 2%ers, are the Loud, Know- All, Obnoxious, Loudmouths, with the Look at me,  Listen to me, attitude, !! they have been here before, and when they go , Someone Always seems to take their place, So that is what the Grey Nomads 2%er terminology comes from, -- However maybe KPMG's Terminology may be the better option

That's fine simmo, some know all members are so dense everything seems to just go over their head -
