Great work Glen!

Next you'll be playing guitar and wii ;)

Dad's pretty good these day too, I end up with his old gadgets when they're not cool enough anymore, although I think that's more financially driven on my behalf. :kuda:

FM Radio in Sydney is shit at the moment anyway I reckon (except for 2RRR Tuesdays 5 - 6 pm of course), particularly in the mornings.

I usually listen to 702 or occasionaly Mike Carlton.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

FM is shit, yes.sometimes just moreso than other times. I would sooner stick an icepick in my ear than listen to Ryan & Whipper on nova ever again. Damn shame Cal Wilson got knocked up, damn shame. However Hamish & Andy aren't a half bad substitute.

AM usually gets a workout when trying to chase cricket, footy or the horses.

No your not. Real geeks do not call helpdesks, or read the manual.... and we say things like roflcopter

Stereo I think you're onto something here.

From my memory of the "Nerd vs Geek" definitions:

*EDIT. I think these are reverse.*

A geek is a techie with little social skills who doesn't really fit well into other social groupings.

A Nerd is a cool intersting "quirky" person who is part of a group of like-minded quirks who happens to be good at techie stuff.

Hmmm, where do you fit into that Glen?

You're definately a bike nerd :)

shit, so does that make me a neek? or a gerd? im kinda half&half based on those definitions.

Well, more a nerd if that's something to go by, i always thought nerd was more of an insult than being accused of being a geek.

i think I got the definitions the wrong way around.... swap nerd and geek! ? ? ! :?
Clarification anyone? Someone can wiki it. ;)

Yeah, Geek is the "with social group" individual, nerd more the "loaner"........... well, was in my high school days.
