Buyer beware! Owen writes: "We are not fussy to whom we loan money in Hamilton. This car-sales sign looks like a trap for young players. Only $27 per week payback. That won't take long. Yeah right!" (I have personally done the dance-of-the-car-finance-loans. Going by the figures I was quoted on a $15,000 car, the scenario cited here would mean it would take around 21 years to repay the loan - and you'd pay $33,000 in interest.) In Paris.

Literal toilet humour #2
"A long time ago, I competed in the Coast-to-Coast epic with a mate," says Dave from Ponsonby. "As was the practice in those days, I had been dutifully monitoring my carbohydrates and had gone through an exercise of 'depletion' for five days, followed by a couple of days of 'loading'. We had elected to use a campervan for the event and I was to drive the van to the end of the cycle leg and to prepare for the mountain run on handover from my mate. About 10 minutes before the handover, I began to feel the urgent call of nature, at which point I made a hurried exploration of the 'facilities' of the campervan.
A chemical toilet was something I had not experienced before but there was a bowl and, needs must. After the immediate satisfaction of relieving myself of two days of vigorous carbo-loading came the realisation that the consequences had not disappeared from sight and nor could I find any way of facilitating their progress! A growing sense of panic overtook me with the imminent arrival of my mate and the realisation that the campervan was not in a fit state for habitation, let alone for my friends, who were gathered around outside to wish me well. It was only after a couple of minutes of panicked investigation that I saw a slide above the toilet outlet and was able to introduce the toilet chemicals. My mate arrived soon after to find every window and door in the campervan wide open and me keen to depart as fast as possible! We placed in the top 10 overall, helped in no small part by me wanting to put as much distance as possible between that van and me."
