I am attributing to a bored individual, I'm adding a game I made in another forum, it is fun and easy to play, hopefully this will make for some light hearted interesting boredom blitzing fun.
The rules are as follows:
1. Somebody posts a question. This can be anything they want, from "What's your favorite fast food" to "What is your worse fear?"
2. The next person answers it truthfully, then asks a question of their own.
Behave yourself, and you know which questions not to put (non-personal, offensive etc.)

What silly thing have you done on your bike.??
-
I have done numerous silly things on my bikes, the one that came first to mind was when learning to ride on my RD350 I was getting the bike out when I observed the neighbours enjoying a backyard BBQ so I thought I should treat them to my riding expertize by executing a power slide from my parked position through a wide arc to the driveway, of course it didnt go as planned & I ended up under the screaming RD cought up in the chain wire fence! With my face redder than the RD's paintwork I extracted myself & left quitly not returning till well after dark.
What silly motorcycle antics has someone else done?
-
For a bet I rode with no pants on through town
Have you ever had a tyre blowout whilst riding?

I had a rapid deflation of the rear due to a stem failing (due to leaving an angle adapter on it).
No drama stopping, but required a "tow" since it can't be repaired by the roadside.

Sadly nd painfully, yes.

Which do you prefer, mountain twisties or scenic rolling hills?
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

In truth, scenic rolling hills with sweepers for relaxation.
Fifteen minutes of demanding mountain twisties and I'm ready for a rest, much as I enjoy the challenge of the mountains.

Do you have a "truck" (heavy vehicle?) licence?
Maybe we could limit this type of question to those who do, rather than someone just saying "No" (as I was guilty of once). :grin

Maybe a few could answer this with a question added later.
Yes. Heavy truck and bus.

I have no heavy vehicle license but i have spent many years in the distant past retrieving B doubles & semi's from the street to load/unload in many a interstate freight company depot.

HR licence, a remnant of my RAAF days. Amazing what you can drive with that, including Hyster heav fork lifts (cant move the tines but as I dont have an operators ticket) and a grader :O
-
Yes. Had to get my lorry(C), bus(D) and articulated bus(DV) licence in three tests only for them to merged in the current HR licence we have now. I still drive buses for a living.
Have you ever donated blood?
-
I've a HR licence.
I started with a 2.5 tonne licence in Vic as a result of an Army truck licence.
Automatically upgraded to a 5 Tonne licence when I wad posted to Qld because that was the closest they had to 2.5 Tonne.
When I was posted to NSW it was upgraded to an 8 Tonne licence as it was the closest they had to 5 Tonne.
When I returned to QLD on discharge the national scheme had recently been implemented so I was upgraded to HR.
After years of driving the Electronics Repair Vehicle (8 T) and then the Calibrations Vehicle (9.7 T), I feel comfortable behind the wheel of a truck.
:grin
-
Have you ever donated blood?
I have donated several times, and still would , but my current medications may make the redstuff (and the white bits) unuseable.

Get yourself some D cells, wire them in series to a cig lighter plug and plug it in first. It will keep the radio and computer powered.

Neat trick!
Wouldn't you think they'd have some capacitors in them to tide over a battery swap? But no- lose the power then try to find your key code for the radio. I think the car's computer is self-powered, otherwise you'd lose the ODO.
-
The ODO and a few other things are in non volatile RAM (it is remembered on power loss), but some is lost.

Why are Australian telcos so shit?
-
..... Why are Australian telcos so shit?
IMHO, they're not.
My (work) mobile is with Telstra, never had any issues, Mrs W's (private) mobile likewise, home service and Broadband also with Telstra, again likewise.
On recent return from OS, home service not working (internet okay), report to Telstra, given reference no, "a technician will call today", knock on front door that afternoon, tech comes inside, hooks up instruments, "there's a fault 190m down the road", leaves, returns, checks 'phone, all fixed.
Later that day I notice internet working slowly, call Telstra, advise that since 'phone fixed internet is slow, "that's not likely to be related", tech checks performance on-line, guides me through a couple of "upgrades", all fixed and faster than before.
I'm a happy Telstra customer.
BG, why do you ask the question? Can we assume your Telco experience is not as good as mine? Please keep answer to 500 words or less.
-
Mobile phone (optus) and mobile wifi (telstra) I have never had an issue with.
Home internet and phone... was alright until a couple of years ago.
I think this the first time I have seen a user specific question in the game.
Outages I have no problem with but it's all the crap you have to go through to get it rectified.
1. Adam internet was fine until they were taken over by iinet, then everything turned to sh*t. Ditched in june 2015.
2. Telstra Bigpond... a lot of run around and eventually ditched them june last year. They actually refunded my last bill.
3. Currently with optus. Problems this week (what is it with june???). Today it got rectified but navigating their website to find a place to report it was the most frustrating part.
Plus all of the dramas of the previous two years.

Have you ever driven somewhere and thought I should have taken the bike?
-
We have our phones on Optus with no issues in the last six years. Used to be Vodafone when at Karratha but no service here so it was either Telstra or Optus.
Some issues with our ADSL before we went to NBN but the line and exchange are Telstra and their gear playing up but no issues with our ISP.

Only on the last Balranald trip in the car because of the double trouble shoulders.
Otherwise the car only gets used as a shopping trolley(it's about the same size)
Putting aside all necessary logistical considerations,what exotic location in this wide brown land would you choose for a National Rally location ?
