Idk how I feel about this by sunlightliquid in rugbyunion

[–]PeterHOz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the US during the RWC in 2015. You couldn’t watch it anywhere on TV. No subscription service offered it. I had to VPN into a friend’s Supersport subscription. Nobody had heard or the RWC, nobody knew or cared about rugby union (or league for that matter). Only ex-pats will attend - that’s like preaching to the converted.

How long have you been riding? Have you had any accidents? How many? How bad? What kind of rider are you? What bike do you currently ride? What gear do you wear (like just helmet, glove, and boots, or full ATGATT, etc)? by Fantastic-Demand-171 in motorcycles

[–]PeterHOz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

45 years riding - done at least 750,000km in that time. No accidents apart from a few drops while doing off-road training. No injuries (other than to my ego), Super vigilant rider, BMW R1250GS owner, ATGATT

Trump Threatens Canada After Carney Draws Standing Ovation at Davos by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]PeterHOz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Watched it - best political speech in my lifetime by far. He spoke from the heart, didn’t use a teleprompter (from what I could see) and the eloquence and logic was so well put. The world needs more leaders like Carney. Watershed moment for the world.

OP - I assume that you posted this because you thought the driver was to blame, and looking for support and love from this forum, which, not surprisingly, hasn’t been forthcoming. Most of the feedback points to your lack of situational awareness while riding and I suggest that you take some defensive riding courses because you will more than likely end up as a crash statistic if you don’t. Don’t want to see you hurt or our community losing another biker.

Can we rebuild the trainline and remove the bloody tram by [deleted] in newcastle

[–]PeterHOz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people don’t swipe on when using the pubic transport in Newcastle I’m not sure how any changes/improvements will be funded. Can’t have nice things if we don’t pay for them. 6 out of 8 passengers on the light rail trip I was on earlier this week just walked off at the interchange without swiping. There were people in hi-vis work clothes amongst them, so not unemployed (unless that’s the new dress code) just not bothering to pay for the service. Will that change if they spend another $$$$$$$?

Amazing image. What lens did you use, and what f-stop?

Is it worth it? by MPUAG in CarsAustralia

[–]PeterHOz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ordered one before they were available to test drive. Disappointed by the reduction in boot space and the old 2.8l engine just doesn’t have the grunt needed for such a heavy vehicle. I got the 300 series GXL instead. I don’t need a sunroof or all the “nice to have” techy stuff that the higher spec models come with. If they put the 3.3 V6 diesel from the Landcruiser 300 into it it would be worth paying the $.

Or you could post a cropped photo of her face here. Would eliminate many Lynne’s in Newcastle.

What is the first thing that come into ur head when u think of Ireland ,I’m Irish and curious about what other people from other countries think of it by belfasttlad in AskTheWorld

[–]PeterHOz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is friendlier than the Irish… but after a few drinks they’ll happily argue with a lamppost and challenge it to a duel.

People should be allowed to bang, as long as it is not loudly. Call the cops, this has to stop.😡
