Hi

I was listening to something the other night and I kept hearing women talking about their map of tassie. Now I have a map of the UK (handy sometimes), but the women involved didn't even live in Tasmania.

What's this all about then?

This thread might help answer that!!

Your link is no where NEAR as good as mine!!


So, have you started planning the Party yet?

Its one of the ironies of life that women have the map of tassie, but its the men that really need the directions.

I don't have a map.

I prefer to find my way by instinct and feel.

Now I'm confused, women can't normally read maps so why would they want one?
I agree (as a man) I normally find my way without a map (but I've never been to Tassie, is the road system there particulary tricky?)

Navigating around problem areas can be!

Aye, for the inexperienced driver it can be daunting.

It has a lot to do with who is holding the map.

If it's a Westerner it's best to follow the longitudinal route........but if it's an Oriental a latitudinal path is best.

Yep, got a list of people Ive invited for you, now you just need to let me know your friends address so we can all rock up there on the night .

~sigh~ No, its ok....dont go to any trouble or anything......

I was once cycling around Tassie with a fairly decent map.

Anyway, before I got there I was advised that it was the law that you had to wear a cycling helmet in Tasmania.

It was a couple of weeks later in Launceston when someone stopped me in a shop and and asked me why I was wearing a cycling helmet. I said "It's the law, you've got to!" They said "yes, but only when you're riding a bike".

I said: "Oh!"
