I think I’m being dogged
In response and continuing on from toms post about police. I would like to point out that not only do I say “Don’t they have anything better to do?” but I also say “why don’t they get a job?”
So much tax payers money is spent on police, what a waste of money, its like putting all our money into a poker machine, one in a trillion times it pays off.
Regularly at Hornsby station there will be up to 15 officers of the law just standing there watching people walk through the ticket barriers, one of them will have a sniffer dog, that’s ok that officer can go and take the dog and sniff people but the other 14 officers, what are they for? Is the sniffer dog officer really emotional and needs the support of 14 colleagues? Surely 2 more officers would be sufficient, one to sniff then two more to apprehend the sniffers findings.
The you have the police who walk the beat, or just drive around in circles, what do they do? They don’t stop crime they walk around and drive around, and if your young or have a beard then they stop and have the following conversation with you.
Officer: G’day mate, where are you off to?
Person: I’m going home.
Officer: Where do you live?
Person: Just up the road.
Officer: Where have you been?
Person: Westfield.
Officer: What where you doing in Westfield?
Person: Having lunch.
Officer: What did you have?
Person: Large nugget meal from Maccas.
Officer: Sweet and sour sauce?
Person: Yep.
Officer: Been drinking?
Person: Nope.
Officer: You been smoking pot?
Person: Nope.
Officer: All right, you better go home now then.
Now this conversation didn’t actually happen its just a cumulative dramatic re-enactment of what does happen. But what the point of it, the whole point is to find out if the person has been drinking or smoking pot. Now the first bit is all meaningless. Infact the whole conversation is meaningless because if a person was smoking pot and a cop said to them “Have you been smoking pot?” is the person going to say “well officer yes I have, infact I had 3 joints this morning on the way to my dealer then as I went down the bush behind the bowling green to check on my plantation I lit up another. Oh and also I took some speed this afternoon just in the train station dunnies.”
Its not going to happen, so I say if it is the job of the police to walk around having meaningless interrogations they should be doing something too. I mean they are out walking and driving the same route every day. Can’t they take a sack of Kmart brochures with them and letter box drop as they go. They are walking down the road anyway. And the cops in cars can deliver the herald or amway or avon or something.
Jen and i just went and had a lunch time game of pool. The game began and jen was storming ahead, with me not sinking anything, then as it got closer to the end, i came fomr the rear, in a triumphant show of skill and and determination.
well in the end i won, by one ball…

Well ryan and I did leave at midnight, and we began our scootering journey to Dee Why. There are some dodgy footpaths between Hornsby and Frenchs Forest. There are also some really good ones too.
Its hard work scootering, and pain began to creep into limbs.
It was all going quite well, we where moving along at quite a reasonable pace, but then the interesting bit came. In all our preparation and planning we remembered lights and food, and to get a map from whereis, but we missed out on one integral part of going on a journey.
The weather!
We didn’t check the weather report. Just as we where entering the middle of St Ives it began to rain quite heavily. We took shelter under the front of the St Ives prespeterian church for about 30 minutes, then the rain eased off so we decided to keep going. About 20 minutes after leaving the church it started raining really really heay. Huge amounts of water on the road. And by this stage we where half way between St Ives and St Ives show ground so there was no shelter, just bush on both sides of the road, our brakes didn’t work cause it was so wet, and we where extremely cold.
We tried to move as quickly as we could to the Ampol petrol station at St Ives showground, It was shut but it had a nice big roof for us to get shelter under. We took off our shirts and socks and shoes and huddled near the door to the petrol station wrapping ourselves in blankets. (so lucky we both brought a blanket each). We huddled there for about an hour, while we regained some body warmth and the rain eased off.
It is such a gross feeling putting on cold we clothes again, but we had too, so we did, the rain had stopped but now there was a new force at work in the atmosphere, and that was wind, so the wind blew against our wet cold clothes making us quite cold.
Eventually we warmed up as we picked up our pace again and powered onto forrestway.
Turning onto forrestwy was a very nice feeling and the road was very smooth, although quite long it wasn’t to hard because it was so smooth. My legs where very sore, and my right foot had a cramp in it.
We made it to jo’s house at about 4:10am and she came out and we played some frisbee in the street then we decided that we should no go on and just stay there and sleep.
Jo gave us some warm clothes and sheets and blankets and stuff and we went to bed in james’s room.
I’m glad we didn’t go on to dee why cause we would have died of hypothermia. It began to rain just after we got inside jo’s house, and neither of us wanted to get we again.
Then this morning we got up at 11 and went and chatted to Barbs for a while and she drove us to Chatswood station, good old Barbs we love Barbs. Then it was some hungry jacks then the train home.
At Hornsby I decided to scooter home from the station only my shoes where in my bag because they where wet. Bare foot scootering worked until I needed to brake, then I burnt my foot trying to brake, I got off folded my scooter and walked home.
Now the blogging is out of the way I think its time for a shower and some fresh clothes,
Ryan and i are about to embark on a journey, a scooter journey. Our aim is to leave hornsby by scooter before midninght, scooter to belrose and get a drink at jo’s house then continue our journey to Dee Why beach, ending with a swim, then scooter to a bus stop or train station all planning on being back home by midday tomorrow.
!2 hours of endurance scootering.
awsome.
hopefuly we will live to blog again.
The other day I was informed by a friend that I was flirting recently and this friend was a bit annoyed at that. Then the next day flirting came up in conversation and I was again informed that I flirt a lot, even to the point that someone said “its true Rob, you flirt with all the girls.”
I don’t see myself as a flirt, what is flirting, what defines flirting, when doest being silly with someone or sitting next to someone or whatever become flirting?
I think if flirting means any communication with someone of the opposite sex, jokes, sillyness, even just talking then sure I’m a big flirt.
If flirting is testing personal boundaries, and trying to get close to someone as a bit of a joke, then no I’m not a flirt.
I’m as equally as excited and silly with people weather they are ben thurley or jen. Its not flirting to be silly with people, Just because some people are females doesn’t mean I have to sit on the opposite side of a room to them and avoid eye contact.
I never think of myself as flirting, I never wonder how close I can get to this girl, I never wonder how silly we can be, I never wonder if I can make jo jealous, I just don’t think about that sort of stuff, I just have fun, and make other people have fun too, weather they are boys or girls.
Since it was told about my flirting I have asked some of the girls who I know if they think I’m flirting with them and they have said no.
If you are a girl that I know tell me what you think.

And his clothes not be burned?
This was in column 8 today.
The start of another fun-filled week on CityRail. Peter Eastaugh of Hornsby and Jason Rolph of Killara were among a packed load of commuters on the 7.10 from Hornsby yesterday morning when they heard (but could not quite believe) an announcement from the guard as the train approached North Sydney. “It has come to my attention that certain people are looking at their watches and glaring at the train driver because the train is running late. Please note that it isn’t the train driver or guard’s fault that the trains are running late and anyone caught doing this will be removed from the train.”
Today I bought a new Frisbee, my 5th Frisbee. Well 6th but I don’t include one of them because its crap.
Anyway back to my new Frisbee, it is now the flagship of my Frisbee collection and was moderately priced at :$36.99. It is an awesome Frisbee it throws so straight and so far, it’s the bomb. Worth every penny, or cent even.
Tonight we had community dinner in hornsby park and had a big picnic with most of the night spent playing Frisbee, we played with my new posh Frisbee and a good old franklin, and ryans ultimate Frisbee, we even taped 8 sparklers to a Frisbee and through it across the park, it looked very cool. Twas a fun night all round,
Towards the end of the evening ryan and I decided to try and do tricks on his scooter, liking jumping a step and stuff, that was fun, I hurt my toe and my leg, and my arm and probably more stuff but it was fun. We ended up jumping a chunk of wood instead.. there where lots of good stacks.
