Heh, I realised too late that the Tiger didn't have quite the pickup
of the 12R, leaving what should have been a comfortable filter, to a
near squish. Still, there was plenty of margin

100...

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember BGN <nickmooney@spamcop.net> saying
something like:

It's stupid, dangerous and suicidal.

Dear God, I miss it.

It's probably because anyone that's NOT gay wants to shag anything that does
wear a skirt. (I nearly fucking typed "shirt" there:-)

since.

Gets surprisingly steep up there, doesn't it? The kind of steep that makes
you think there's an engine problem, like that road coming away from
Kearsney Abbey back to Thanet, the number of which escapes me. The furrin
lorry drivers coming out of the port don't GAF about anything else on wheels
either.
