You will find nothing logical here
Pete We got to talk  What a Face


Bit of a shame, really. In 20 years of Internet, newsgroups, blogs and endless forums I've never, EVER come across a forum or even a website that's got the text entries/ posts etc bum-about. Forums/ blogs etc are there to communicate not to put people off by making them read "the newspaper from the bottom of the front-page up"....or a book from the last page forward with the first chapter at the end.
It's just plain stupid...and achieves exactly the opposite of what it should, it drives folks away.
Why have a web-presence at all when making things difficult / illogical for the user?
Then again...whatever floats the boat.  Cool 

Yo, sorting's well and truly done, phew. Smile 
Talk?  Anytime! Just name place and time.  Very Happy  Very Happy

2013_ TORNANTI #3

The whole "10 yards" with over 1750 stumping pics is right here:
Tornanti #3....ABRACADABRA



http://www.austouring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4857




It'd taken another 4 years to get cranked up for the sequel, but time was good, the Aussie-$$ flying high, the September-October time slot perfect as ever after a wet European summer...and the third "Tornanti" rumbled away in its usual haphazard style.

This time is was the backblocks of the western half of the European Alps, discovering the southern parts of Switzerland, then follow the Main Alpine Ridge south to the Mediterranean Coast, bouncing back and forth across the Italian-French border on the smallest and most scenic roads and tracks to be found.

And in general, have the time of our lives. Switzerland, France, Italy 2013...a backroads wonderland LaolaSwitzerland, France, Italy 2013...a backroads wonderland Laola
