Did you consider buying a motorbike?

Nope. I don't like two wheelers. I have a car. And sometimes I drive to work. But basically I do not enjoy driving.

Autorickshaws are the equvalent of taxi-cabs of the other cities.Most of the Indian cities like Hyderabad(where i come from) and Trivandrum(Nish's place) and Madras the popular mode of transport apart from buses are these ubiquitous autorickshaws

You won't say that after one ride in it through heavy traffic.

I doubt that I'd encounter much traffic on the golf course, Nish. And if the back seat is occupied by a cooler full of barley pop I won't notice what little there is Big Grin | :-D

But I thought "Auto-Rikshaw" refers to a "pull-yourself-rikshaw" Eek! | :eek:

Yeah, just as auto-mobiles are mobile phones that work mechanically Wink | ;-)

And the person who drives is a wuss !!! I just bought myself new bike shorts at lunchtime - bike track, here I come.

Did we just manage a first post with substance ?

I hoped and prayed we wouldn't have any "I posted the first post!" messages. Just for that let me buy you a coffee/beer/lunch next time you're up this way Wink | ;)

Can you buy one for me too, Chris? Because when I came here there were no posts. I waited for someone to post a first post so that my typecast-first-post thing is avoided. Then after CG's post I posted my post about autorickshaws. It took quite a bit of effort to do that. But I managed to do it Smile | :)

I'd like a couple of beers and some nice Aussie food. I am a very light eater, so I can't eat much. Or maybe instead of beer, we can have some gin-cocktails with lime. They are nicer to taste.

Uh oh! In my enthusiasm, I must say that I ignored this slight difficulty. I mean I didn't remember that you are at the bottom of the earth, while I am somewhere in the upper middle. This is a major hiccup in plan, I tell ya, a major hiccup indeed. Oh well! The tomorrow I seek may not be near, but it's not too far either. And when it arrives, it's gonna be a big one. The day won't be far when I wake up in New York, have breakfast in London, code from Trivandrum, lunch from Singapore, take an afternoon nap in Sydney, have tea with Colin and family in NZ, go for a swim in Hawaii, have dinner from Canada with David C, just outside the CP server, and go to sleep in a luxury boat in the persian gulf.

ROTFL - gotcha !!!

I count myself very lucky to live somewhere that I have a bike track just around the corner from home that ends within metres of my office. I bet not many people have it that easy - riding in is a breeze, and the only exercise I get.

Then again, if you live in Canada, or northern US, you could have meant ice skates.. Wink | ;)

Interestingly, I onced lived in New Hampshire (northern USA), where I witnessed somebody cross-country skiing down a road after a heavy snowfall... I think skiiing should have been an option in this poll. Big Grin | :-D

No generalization is 100% true.
Not even this one.
