Beware the St Lukes parking nazi (unless you're in a car ?!)
JP
by bicycle, and experience the Management's new marketing
initiative - employ swaggering young hoons to way-lay
customers in the ground floor parking level, shout ridiculous
commands at them then swear at them and tell them to f__k off !
..cycled (law-abidingly - I know what its like shepherding 3 young
children through that parking jungle down there) in, chained
bike to rack provided, did my shopping, then hopped back on bike
and joined the slow line of traffic proceeding along
the designated margin of the parking area (not weaving, not
overtaking...just doddling along at same speed as cars). Suddenly
this young guy leaning against the rail wearing a vaguely
official-luminesent-orange jerkin starts shouting something
in my direction - not me , the person behind me I thought so just
kept going - then I realise he's ordering me none too politely to
get off my bike and walk.
Say what !? On yer bike mate !
There being no signs or road or mall rules to my knowledge that
would in any way make this a reasonable request (and who IS this guy
anyway !?) , I declined to comply and kept on my lawful way.
The shouted commands got louder and the language got worse...I
must admit I did then weave around a stationary car as I thought
I had better make a strategic withdrawal before the guy really
lost it and rearranged my face. No hero me.
"Have a nice day" St Lukes style ;-)
Hint for St Lukes Management : a non car-driving customer is twice
as valuable as a car driving one, since you get two customers for the
parking-space-price of one - me, and the person parked in the
space I otherwise would have occupied. I must say in many years
of visiting St Lukes by car, with small children to shepherd, I
have found that speeding cars and careless backing out are
constant dangers, but have never once felt threatened by bicycles.
Nevertheless, if you really think bikes are that big a threat ,
how about some signs - perhaps to the effect that "Bikes welcome - but
if you ride dangerously you will be asked to walk".
And maybe some rather more professional traffic wardens !

Ring up the management and have a good bitch about it. This is simply
ridiculous.

And for that very reason, I wouldn't even go near the place. There are
far more people-friendly places to shop at in Auckland than the ghastly
St Lukes.

Well, Squirr, asked and now she is going to get an answer or two. What
do men do with the sploof after they have indulged in a bit of
self-administered pleasure?
Well the short-answer is probably that they clean up that teaspoonfull
(incidentally it is about 1 calories worth for the diet-conscious) with
whatever is convenient. I'd like to think it was always with white
disposable tissues but I know I'm wrong. From a drunken discussion with
some married heterosexual men a few years ago, I can claim most simply
used a dirty T-shirt from the laundry bag (If they were unmarried I
suspect the T-shirt would be on the floor) and the one exception was the
cleanliness freak amongst that number who only ever J/O'd in the shower.
Personally I have never liked J/Oing when I'm been standing. It takes
too much concentration to manage to balance as well as coming. Having a
shower as well would really confuse things for me.
I guess it to some degree depends on where you do it and with what
amount of foresight. I mean some guys do it sitting down on the toilet
and this means it is only a quick mop up with toilet paper and a neat
flush. As an adolescent I was the hankerchief type of cleanerupper and
because I was an adolescent and knew I was going to be doing it lots, I
always had a hankerchief. I have had my towel and T-shirt stage but
getting a towel means you have to consider things a little more than I
am apt to consider things. So yeah, I guess come out on the dirty
T-shirt side now.
I definitely feel that paper tissues would be the rarity but I'm not
really sure.

Parking? Parking? I like Newmarket because I can WALK there.

Try it on a wet Thursday afternoon, during the last week of any school holidays.
Hell on earth.
And to think I used to live within spitting distance, of the monstrosity.
It used to be a good place to hang out, and the Wimpys wasn't that bad (Although
Baggins? Bilbos? a little further on in Dom Rd was superior. So was the wine
shop opposite.)

What I want to know is why there is NO place to park my bike in
Newmarket apart from just outside the swimming pool. It pisses me off when
I want to just pop into 277 for a paper or something that I either have to
walk to the other end of the place or attach my bike to something that is
not really designed to hold it.
All I am after is something that is in a reasonably public area that I can
just chain my bike too.

Well that is interesting. I had occasion once to obeserve a chappy
jerk off, seems I did not have the knack, thank christ, but he grabbed
a tea towel, and it was such a small amount (he claimed he had already
jerked off a few times that day)
I was amazed, cos all I kept saying at the begininng was "dont get
that stuff on me!!!!!!!!"
But then again, I have seen shots of it flying all over the place like
gravity deficient yoghurt, so if for some strange obscure resaon I
should be close to a loaded weapon again, I am still gonna warn them
to keep me clean!!

Don't they have parking meters up there?
I bought a motorbike size DLock specifically so I can get it round larger
poles.

Are you refering to the times they do it on an impulse or is this just
one of those they regularly do?
Reason why I ask is you seem to suggest they do it everywhere but in
bed. Is there a reason for that?

yes that is gross especially when you *peel* it off you body - and
getting right down to it - its a pain when you go and have a piss and
there is a small amount of dried up cum and of course this leads to
what i believe is the "men can't aim properly" myth...

Whaaaaaaat? Two minutes? I trust you take a little longer with a partner?
Why not treat yourself at least as well as you treat him/them? (Scented
candles, soft music, after-wank mints....)

I was generalising Lin. If you do it on impulse, you do have to make-do
qwith what is around (warning: some plant leaves can cause allergic
reactions) but if you vaguely plan it you tend to have a preferred item
with which to clean up.

I did not intend to suggest that. In fact I would suggest that beds and
couches are probably favoured places. However, the whole process only
taking a couple of minutes, men do tend to do it anywhere. A boring
afternoon at work, for instance, can be enlivened by a short visit to
the bathroom.

There is. Dried up cum sticking your underwear or T-shirt to your body.

Well, I have now...
Clearly David is quite correct to suggest that 'anywhere, anytime' is quite
common. In fact I would go so far as to suggest that one's productivity can
lag seriously if a certain need is not fulfilled, and so the 'quick trip to
the bathroom' David suggests is probably a sound recommendation.
Concentration and ability to focus on particular matters of importance to
the nation can be seriously impaired if one's mind is wandering.
Not that I would know much, of course. :-)

Well I'm pleased you did. I especially liked the old towel you keep
around. Do you wash it after one ejaculation or do you keep it to gather
a few. If you keep it do you keep it under the bed with all those old
copies of Freshman and Euroboy? Or is is discretely kept within reach
but merged safely with some of the other contents of the laundry bag?
