As I recall, neither were you. Didn't we pack Ryan in the back?Capt. Black wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 10:01 amEasy for you to say. You weren't in the back!

Anyway, the point is the staggering amount of stuff and people we crammed in; it's not about your comfort.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

And I beg to differ. I'd give up a smidgin of capacity for a smooth ride in quiet comfort any day.
But yes, the Hilux can take a staggering amount of gear and only leaves its passengers staggering afterwards.

Ah, we must have put you in the back to hold up the stack of amps; Ryan being such a little fella.Capt.

Was that the gearfest in Hamilton you're referring too? You only managed to get everything squeezed in on the trip down, and then I asked if Ryan could take my Marshall head back to service it. I remember someone having to have it on their lap!!!! hahahaSlowy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 10:17 amAs I recall, neither were you. Didn't we pack Ryan in the back?Capt.

Bumping up, donations on the day to pay for the venue! $5 a piece ok? That works if we get 16 people there!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I'm curious as to why this wasn't a reasonable date?
