    1961. Yeah, about then. Modern? Is somebody knocking out Enfields?

    I just remember its Redness and Royal Enfield. Electra is in my head, drawing from the same sector of the disc but it may be there as a rogue byte.

    Yes it does, if that’s what one does to your kids.
    Mine come home with the compulsory teachings of the Bible (Police state or what!). I tell them what the Koran says about the same matter, and what the Buddhists think. Let him decide when he’s older. You know my views on Religion…powerful lies amongst an argument about who has the best imaginary friend(s).
    My view of the world is not narrow. My opinion is based on seeing most of it through work, holidays and back-packing and then drawing a conclusion. Some of which is a sterotype, but they are 80-90% correct anyway. No smoke without fire as they say. I’ve been to Mexico, thus I cannot see what was wrong with what Clarkson said, given that it is a light entertainment programme. If it was a Book review or a Politics show, it wouldn’t be appropriate.

    A lot must have changed in 5 years. Maybe they have seen how much the world has left them behind, example there was only one place in Tripoli that had internet 5 yrs ago. It was a Hotel (Named Continental or International IIRC), where most of the businessmen stayed. It was probably bugged in every room LoL.

    Once they smell a Merc. or a BMW, they want it. If you get my drift.

    I’d suggest you all stop rising to the bait, before you’re suckered into a CoC violation…. :rolleyes:

    There aint no bait being cast! “General discussion”.
    Ignorance? Same ignorance that calls it Paddy’s Wigwam instead of Teepee.
    Harmless language colloquialisms, like Hoover, Biro.
    So, if I say “I’m going to Hoover the floor, where’s the Dyson”, every normal person will know exactly what I mean and only a serious case of pedanticitis would bother to correct it or even bother to care.

    Shallowness? Like I said, why ever settle for 2nd best, on anything. If that means overlooking somebody you don’t like before you even know them, then that is good. Why waste lifespan getting to know somebody that, deep down, you know you don’t fancy or support (Culture wise). It’s bound to turn bad, especially as one is supposed to sign up for the long haul if you plan kids.

    As for us Brits, we are now rubbish at most things, possibly because we are a diluted Nation run by mindless idiots that I wouldn’t trust to cross the road with.

    PeeDee, was the Royal Enfield BULLET?, it had a feul tank that “Dipped” down about halfway along, a good looker if it was,and if I remember quite expensive.

    Lincoln. 7

    No. No 50/50 paint scheme.
    The tank and the little side access panels were an outrageous Red. Brighter than a pillar box.
    The frame was black, as was the puddle underneath it every night.

    I see the point, but based on my experience I don’t follow why he needs to be starved in the 1st place. His dictatorship was not exactly destroying the people (Based on when I was there 5 years ago).
    A lot can happen in 5 years but from what I heard, the Col. was going further and further into the background.

    There you go again.
    What on Earth is shallow about picking the person that is right for you?
