Things I learned today   
On the way out of Dover on the A20, up the steep and very windy hill
don't go belting (which I think is a term for filtering at excessive
speed) in between two articulated lorries as when the one to your left
gets blown towards the one to your right one may need to purchase new
underwear.

BTDT... not the underwear bit though. I seem to have a good enough 
supply with birthdays and Xmas.

He is, but my old land lord didn't think so. He said something like.. 
"if he's gay, I don't want him to stay over night. <fx: spooky looks>". 
I thought that sounded very gay in its self, as though the old land lord 
didn't trust himself with such a nice young chap.

Why did your landlord:

1) know he was staying over
2) care
3) know he was gay?

Landlords are for fixing roofs, not worrying about your or anyone's sex 
life...  unless it's damaging the roof.

He's a lurker here, and has a general phobia of gay people. Point 1 was 
made, just in case a gay person wanted to try to stay in his house.

It's a position I simply can't get my head round. How is he about lesbians?

Is the roof sound?

Lesbians are ok by him, he was keen to go to something he called 
'pervert club [1]'. I remember mumbling something about being a 
christian, Torture garden and wanting to meet hot lesbians ... not 
really being compatable.

[1] Torture garden in other words.

I know it's never going to happen, but Nick should stomp on him good and 
proper just to let him know that (A) he doesn't fancy him and (BE) that 
poof's can (I don't believe I'm going to say this, but wtf?) give as good as 
they get.

I'm sure the landlord is more likely to be worried that a gay bloke would 
want to slip him a length than he is to smack his bitch up.

So he has a phobia about gay men but is fine going somewhere where he gets 
naked and is tied up/handcuffed/wrapped in clingfilm and having his 
privates whipped?

Oh god, thats going to keep me chortling all day!

I am, but I think I'll be thinking twice before filtering between
vehicles of the articulated kind in the future, I knew it was a bad
idea at the time but I was being impatient.

Heaven knows why he thought that I'd be staying over.  I think I've
visited about twice or perhaps three times ever and never in an
evening.

I put it down to people being odd, or, perhaps I should say "people
like" - some people tie their minds in knots whereas others are just a
bit strange.  But it would be boring if everyone is the same.

Not everyone gets along, not everyone wants to get along and not
everyone tries to get along.  The only people I stomp on are those
which I have to deal with on a regular basis.  If some random stranger
doesn't like me or something about me then they're entitled to their
own opinion, in my opinion.  Life's too short to try and re-educate
strangers, especially ones which I'm only likely to fleetingly see
again, if ever.

>I'm sure the landlord is more likely to be worried that a gay bloke would 
>want to slip him a length than he is to smack his bitch up.

I think I've seen his landlord but can't remember what he looks like,
which probably means he goes into the 'not memorable' pile.

It's amazing that some people think that just because someone is gay
then they want to shag anything that doesn't wear a skirt.

Haven't a clue, although I will say.. I got quizzed a number of times 
about either being gay, or having gay friends over.

True, so true...

I think that maybe it's some sort of obsession, or fixation.. it may be 
part of a mental illness[1].

[1] Most likely.

It's only dodgy if you stay in the gap long enough for them to close in. 
It's fine if you go as hard as you fucking can.  Fast is safe.

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 ;)

Try filtering in 85mph traffic on a GL500 with a notional top speed of

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.
