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.

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.

fm radio is shit over summer...

i havnt woken up to anyone but merrick and rosso since nova started... but "the action battle team" that nova had on evenings over summer was disgraceful... 16 yr olds who think they are cool :roll:

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.
