Late to the party, but most middle-aged male cyclists are giant piston wristed gibbons.
The best are the ones who drive their Volkswagen or Audi to the cafe, get out their fancy bike and sit with their lycra clad piston wristed gibbon mates outside.
You're an adult, wear some nice clothes and take up golf.
It's summer and the Omaha crowd have arrived from Remuera. The pub has been done up and that is where they seem to be (much to our displeasure). I much prefer our local bogans with no shoes in the pub.
Have you ever seen any of them on a bike (no not her)?
Dickheads.Chuck in the 50 year old "surfies" driving around with boards on the roof (when then is no surf) clogging up the inadequate roads, and not wearing shirts in the supermarket, and you have our summer guests to the region. No wonder you are heading overseas again.
Posts this grumpy genuinely warm my heart

Actually just have to keep moving north to find that surfing fishing thing, without plebs (or snobs) ruining it now.
I will run out of island eventually.
I spent New Year's Eve at the Waipapakauri pub... if(/when) that place gets over-run by piston-wristed Aucklanders, it's time for the world to just end. We're done.

People who can't fucking spell pistonwristedgibbons properly.

@SynicBast what about those fluffybunnies that need to chat in a lift. Even worse when you're forced to take off headphones. I'm going somewhere, not socialising, just fuck right off.
Jesus yes. And if they turn round with their backs to the lift door to do it? Fuck off sunshine, you’re making everybody feel uncomfortable now, just turn around and shut up for 2 fucking minutes.
There are no friends in a lift.

Occasional business transactions, yes.
Ah... back to the hookers and blow; cross-thread tie-in.

I cant remember what thread got hijacked by dental war stories, but fuck dental work!!! Just had 2x fillings, one in a too wisdom tooth that the dentist said was so decayed he thought about just ripping it out today. I've just had 3x panadeine forte tablets and now I cant feel my legs, but my fucking jaw is throbbing like a muthafucka!!!

Great. Thanks for that. I've been considering going to a dentist, but I'm shit-scared.
I've got the screw for an implant put in about 14 years ago, for which I never got the actual tooth part put on top, as I left NZ. Just an entire tooth-shaped filling which was supposed to be a place-filler. And haven't seen a dentist since. Now that I'm back, I know I should go get it sorted, along with all the complications that have inevitably arisen, and all the other issues from not having seen a dentist in 14 years.
Maybe I need to source some higher-class drugs before I commit to that. (Plus, build up the savings a bit... ACC should cover the implant, and hopefully direct complications... but I hate to think of what the "extras" will probably cost) -
Protein bars / snack bars. Why does every manufacturer assume that all people want I something sweet and/or chocolatey? I know a lot of people can't get enough chocolate but I'm not that fussed TBH. Why doesn't anybody make a bar that has something savoury going on?

It's called a beirstick, Biltong, or dry/droerwors. All as tasty as each other!

Biltong
Gotta love biltong.
I love biltong but these guys do the best dry wors I have ever had. I work at the mount a couple of days a week and over indulge constantly.
Highly Recommend. (They deliver too)
