Well thats enough of that. Adults Only

Well I think you have had enough crumpet just for the sake of it now so it's time to get back to the real world.

Now this bird would have ended up on here anyway. Because she is posing with a bike. A Harley in fact. And we like pics of bikes and birds together on this site don't we?

Yes we do! In fact birds and bikes sort of belong together really. Like Peaches and cream, Welshmen and sheep, lawyers and lies, New Labour and taxes.

In fact it is hard to say which I would rather have, a bird or a bike. When it comes to the initial purchase the bird comes out on top. After all you can pick one up anywhere for the price of a few drinks. And it's usually a spur of the moment thing. I have never understood that. Would you go out and get a bike after half a dozen pints, without checking it out thoroughly? So why do we pick our birds that way?

But then, after the initial purchase you get the running costs and even though a bike ain't cheap to run nowadays it's a hell of a lot more expensive to run a bird. Yes a bird is ceaper and easier to service, a bird keeps herself clean and you you don't have to put petrol in but it's all the over costs involved. Your bike sits outside until needed, you jump on it whenever you fancy a ride, put petrol in it and keep it servied properley. Baring a major disaster thats all the maintenance a bike needs.

But a bird. Well thats a different matter. If you want to jump on your bird and ride her whenever you get the urge it is going be a lot of hard work and cost you a fortune. You are going to have to buy presents, clothes, drinks, fancy meals, foreign holidays etc. Not only that you are going to have to get used to always being wrong.

You are going to have to learn a different language. One where no means no, yes means no, maybe means no, I'll think about it means no. One where everything that she says has one meaning and anything that you say can be twisted and interpretated in anyway she sees fit. And everything you say will be taken in and used as eveidence against you sometime in the future.

You will live in a parrellel universe where eight pairs of shoes and two wardrobes full of clothes means that you haven't got anything to wear. A world where logic and reason don't exist, where something can be perfectly acceptable one minute and completely wrong the next minute. A bit like England under New Labour.

So all in all I think the bike wins out. It's also still going to look good in 50 years time. I can think of a few 1950's bikes I wouldn't mind riding but 1950's women?
