However my rude brother called it the Nannamobile - which I hate - but can't get out of my head.Deborahhttp://debbish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938956792349997075.post-64949048575619239122014-05-02T03:28:15.895+01:002014-05-02T03:28:15.895+01:00I don't have as much going on but can certainl...I don't have as much going on but can certainly relate to feeling overwhelmed.

He's also passionate about rock climbing, lifting weights and long distance running.<br />Recently had one of his bi-sexual male friends express interest in him. He was flattered that his friend found him attractive but explained while it's ok to be gay, he's straight. His male friends call him a "cock block" a charming term for a mate that all the girls are interested in when they meet him, thus blocking their friends chances ! <br />Personally, I don't think it's the perfect eyebrows that draw the girls to him. Because he's never been forced into a gender roles, he can just as easily be "one of the girls" as "one of the boys".barbieboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938956792349997075.post-22404478994651004922014-04-24T04:48:49.874+01:002014-04-24T04:48:49.874+01:00Time seems to have raced by!

It certainly makes a point. Hopefully to the people who need it. <br /><br /><br />Driving tests here do now include some questions on bikes - I've found P-platers to be generally pretty good on the road rules. It seems to be motorists who have had their licenses for a while who aren't aware of changes in the laws. I can't help thinking more regular testing should happen. <br /><br /><br />Most people who ride bikes also drive cars (kids are obviously an exception). I think bike skills in schools have faded out - I certainly had them in "my day", but they don't seem to happen routinely now.Ruth H-B @Kanga_Ruehttp://kangarue-silverlinings.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938956792349997075.post-9524305737240631382014-04-24T04:42:38.771+01:002014-04-24T04:42:38.771+01:00I'm still chasing a response six months later....I'm still chasing a response six months later.

It certainly makes you stop and think but accidents go on happening. I wonder whether all driving tests should include a compulsory section on bikes?
