I must be stupid but i can not find how navigate from Forum back to Bomber home page?

Same here but not brave enough to admit it in public. Put this under the heading "No such thing as a stupid question).

"Convenience is simply a casualty of progress". You may Quote me on that!

:rolleyes:

Am thinking of having a new relationship once I settle in the ski town, so far I've been living in the middle of desert (Kalgoorlie, Karratha etc) for four years and apparently it's a wrong place to find a fellow skier :eek:

Leeho, I wish you well in finding a new relationship...:)... Shall I be controversial and say it makes a change from guys wanting to, in the main, be serial monogomists...:eplus2:

Of course each to their own...:p

Sad as it may seem...I have had more fun snowboarding than any man has ever brought into my life...:eek: ..it just goes to show..i've got bad judgement ...and I'm far too of-the-wall for most people to put up with..hahaha :rolleyes:however on the upside we are all at the end of the day responsible for our own happiness and in that respect I'm doing a grand job...

...a funny story, one guy I went out with couldn't stop criticizing almost everything about me..things like putting a newspaper on the floor after reading it...having too many cups of tea...he thought the length of the curtains hanging in my living room were too long...told me I would fail an exam I was going to sit..BTW I passed..haha...needless to say after a few years of that I decided I liked myself enough to take-of into the sunset..then of course the sun rose everyday after that...:biggthump

...recently I have been quizzed by a couple of guys about my personal life to which I just tell them straight a few things like...how I love sport, love snowboarding am obsessed with it..set up my car so I can camp in the back, drive of somewhere for weekend etc...all on my own...

...I said to one am I boring you? As he was staring at me with a blank look..he said "no I'm jealous", then mentioned being bogged down with family life etc...anyway I took his comment as a compliment..other guy similar comments

However, no females seem to be .jealous.of this life I lead...oh look this just arrived in the post for my camping set up..a handy little device...see pics...

I may go against the grain of what females are supposed to do and be in many ways but I'm having fun..isn't that what counts?;)

Maybe for a day, or a season, or for some sufficient fraction of every year of your life. Maybe not all the time. That was a question mark, wasn't it? I suppose that if you intend to have fun for some definite period, and can make that happen without doing anything you might feel badly about later, then you can consider that to be a succesful part of your life, a memory to be cherished and an ability you can adapt to many circumstances. If you know how to make yourself happy, chances are you can help others (maybe even some paleo-guys) figure out how to be happy too. Make it count!

OhD,...let's just say i'm old enough to have had some right rubbish things happen to me..it helps me put things in life into perspective...and whilst I listen to women at work talking about facials, false nails, and the men talk about shiny new things...I just switch off..and dream about being on the snow or up a hill somewhere away from it all, ...To me that is enjoying life and having fun...along with a few other simple things like good food and demolishing and rebuilding bits of my house:eek:.. so not doing anyone any harm(as long as the neighbours got ear plugs:p) and no regrets....:)

Hmmm....it's usually people that p.... me off (and yes there are a few real gems of people that don't)..and yes i'm pretty good at making myself content and happy...

One of the things I love about the internet, is you can switch into and out of the virtual world whenever it suits...in the physical world..it's damn hard to switch someone off...:rolleyes:...

..ah well..that's life haha ha...what you mean by Paleo guys comment...sorry if being dim...:p

You're hangin' in one of the more civil corners of the internet, I must say. Talking toys is a big part of this forum, but at least they are really cool toys, eh?

It can be pretty hard to switch off a bad actor out there in the ether. Tuning them out or banishing them doesn't always make them stop, but at least you can define your own bubble.

let's just say it hadn't got past me that people on this site talk about toys...;)

We all have the right to choose how we want to live and what makes us happy...i'm certainly interested in reading about other peoples snowboards, cars, houses etc ...I don't expect people to agree with my choices...we all choose our own bubbles to live in whether on or off line.

My comments miss out finer points on things or Fuller clarifications but I expect some things I say not to be fully understood.

The people on this site and the EC site are a good bunch...some other snowboarding sites I won't join (that's why I lurk for about a year before joining) ...so yes it's a way to switch people off..in the real/physical world I ignore the people who just let's say have got negative ways about them...:D

floboot, I think you and I would get along well. I've always been more of a tomboy running around in the dirt and working on my car than ever getting my nails done. We are a very rare breed, especially in this hard boot world! I'm sure you won't have any problems finding a suitor here, if the opportunity ever came up. But I'm with you, living life happily doing what you love - snowboarding - has made me happier than ever. (present boyfriend excluded).

Michelle, it is wonderful to come across another female of similar ilk...indeed a rare occurrence...:)

...I seem to think more like lesbians do and because of this have been chatted up by a few women in the past...Hahaha...to which I have explained i'm not for turning...:p

Interesting what you say about tinkering with cars...I certainly have done one or two repairs in times of desperation..having to put brain in gear-pun intended...:p

If I have no diy type things I put the nail varnish on especially when snowboarding I like to coordinate my stuff...Hahaha

We have our work lunch this Friday, I said I was going to make an effort and put on a dress...thinking nothing more about it...my female work colleague a few days later says..I can't imagine you in a dress...I understood why, as I don't make much effort dressing for work, 99% of the time slinging on some trousers...when I do wear a skirt everyone stares at my legs, as if to check that they do exist....haha

Like you I don't mind rolling about in the dirt..haha...and good to know you're passionate to for snowboarding...although as you say you have another passion ;)

TBH..my instincts tell me to avoid involvements of any kind..don't know why but its how I am just now...and i'm pretty cool about it...:cool:

still no harm done when you're single having a bit of a flirt... I did for some of reason have the attention of a snowboarder the other weekend...hmmm...I could only surmise there must have been a shortage of females that day and that he still had beer goggles from the night before..believe me when I say i'm a realist, and I ain't no aging supermodel:biggthump

Michelle said,"... We are a very rare breed, especially in this hard boot world! ..."

Is this hard booting, a posy sport then?

You know, where you turn up with a metal board made of platinum and diamond stomp-pad...

...dressed in: Dior, Prada,Chanel...

Have I tumbled down the slope into a snow-hole of kerr-ching madness?...will cubic zirconia pass for a stomp pad on a tin board?...will a 1980s onesy be acceptable with a head-band of towelling in matching colour?. .:p

no comment.
apparently onesy's are coming back into fashion.

Well...I have stumbled into a real posy sport...ruddy 'eck..I honestly didn't know:rolleyes:

That means I can't go to any events ...otherwise I'll look like rags amongst riches....I'll start knitting my onesy now...I must fit in with the crowd:D

What is it that they say in psychology...'act as if'...

...knit one, pearl one...act as if..knit one...:biggthump

a tory vegan. who'd have thought it.

Well...I used to wear a Tory blue suit to work..in my posing days in London...my posing was soooo extreme that I would spend the evening drinking cocktails that contained blue Curacao because the blue matched perfectly....of course I had a copy of the FT on show beside me, along with the Sun, just so I could fit in with the Commoners too...:rolleyes:

So everything I do must be extreme..including carving...haha:p

No point in living life with half measures...its boring...:biggthump
