What are you looking into by the way? I'm thinking of getting a cyclocross....
I have my ideas, but I am just waiting for enough money.
If you read my last message to Debian, I say that I wouldn't be offended unless I knew they were just being arsey for the hell of it - who do they think I am ...what do they think I'm going to do??
BUT, the big words here though are
'Under the right circumstances'.
Like I say, I have a big brother who can be a bit like that, not just to me, but to others too, and he knows who I am, what I'll be doing and where I live, etc etc.
Thing is, I have only ever asked him once or twice if I could borrow something in an emergency, and he was still so anal that he obviously didn't even trust me for some strange reason only known to himself.
It took others to eventually persuade him, which I just found terribly sad and quite needless.
So please excuse me if I seem a little terse.
