You've thought way too long about that one Dan :rof:

One of the forum members from America had a great sig for a similar occurance in the US, but it basically said, no matter what you spend your money on its all imported and the money goes offshore. Then there was one exception (might have been alchohol) where the money actually went back into the country.

Ok my friends i've finally figured out this whole Rudd Stimulus Package :thumbup:

It's a slow day in a dusty little Australian town. The sun is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

On this particular day a rich tourist from down south is driving through town , stops at the local motel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.

The owner gives him keys to a few rooms and as soon as the man walks upstairs, he grabs the $100 bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.

The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his drinks bill at the local pub.

The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar , who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the motel and pays off her room bill to the motel owner with the $100 ..

The motel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the $100 bill, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything.

However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Australian Government's stimulus package works. :rof: Got it now

I actually think that is quite clever...sorta like explaining accounting to kiddies...so i understand for once!

You should try working at a bike shop. I'm eyeing out some new gloves as I type! I don't think a week has gone by that I haven't bought something

At least I've completed my initial list of mods which is good.

BTW I miss your last avatar J.....!

for me it's just over 2 years since getting my first FZ6, and i have a rough count of about 85 mods i have done, or have been, and gone... that's more than 1 a fortnight....how narcassistic of my bike, demanding so much "bling"!

As for the Avatar....my mate, who is a huge Rossi fan....maybe as big as Kazza, sent me the current one this morning, so it had to replace the "Zoolander" guy!

That's ok Kazz, wont be long, am thinking i might change it to a picture of my butt, as apparently i think the sun shines out of it!
