    Hi All,
    All this talk of political correctness and Muslim faith related subjects I have just realised I have not seen a Danish bacon advert for ages am I alone in this or is this another form of the Muslims not to be offended ?

    Hi All,
    This guy is a 1st class pillock he relies on driving to earn a living and to attend charity work ? He should have thought about that first and foremost, just another pampered star who has used his fame and status to his advantage. I drove HGV Class.1. until I ripped my back muscles, anyway my point is if you rely on your license for a living your just being a prat by speeding when you know you shouldn’t, so many times I have heard and read about ‘ I need my license it’s for my job’ what a load of cobblers you got caught so admit to what you were doing not bleat to the courts when you pass your test you are given the license as courtesy not a right and to many times drivers who regularly brake the speed limit put not only themselves at risk but pedestrians and other vehicle users at the same time, if they spent more time concentrating on the job at hand they would not end up like this pillock has.
    Before anybody asks! Yes I have been done for speeding but not while on the job and was 36 in a 30 that was right at the start of my license and never since.

    Hi All,
    Skybynight,
    Excellent job matey :eagerness: Can I suggest when you sell the kits you may like to offer a single seat version rather than just the trainer within the same kit
    pack ? Also have you thought about contacting Lego direct and offering them the kit for a commission as I would imagine it could prove rather lucrative ?

    Hi All,
    The problem is really how can you talk sense to a faith that has a mind-set like this pillock below in the video. I apologise here for going off topic slightly,
    Here is a hypothetical situation, the law prevents me from advertising with a sign of my house (For sale but not to Muslims) as being racist which of coarse is correct! However if I was to admit for viewing when selling our home and being my wife has collected pig ornaments could I then be done for racism when not advising what is on show inside ?
    At the same time putting a sign up explaining why Muslims would not be advised to view would this also be viewed as racism even though I am trying to accommodate their beliefs by not offending them ?
    To my mind it’s their belief system that prevents them from entertaining another form of religious belief and that being the case how can you talk with these people without upsetting them ?

    Hi All,
    In IMHO it is called Racing not winning because I am No.1 Team driver and when you compete accidents happen always has done always will do. Having said that this obviously goes back to the Hungary race and the Team Orders (Which I am totally against) all racers should race equally and be given equal support both on and off the track.
    What goes on in team meetings should stay there but again it comes down to Team Orders this is the cause of so many problems within teams, going back to when Schumacher was the shining light being given the priority on so many cases rather than having to win by skill alone and may I add took my passion away from F1 as I suspect a few others lost interest too.
    That’s not to say he is not a good driver but rather he has had the privilege of being the golden boy in whatever team. IMHO preferential treatment of some so called superstar drivers has ruined along with other influences what was a good sport now it’s all about Money and Team Orders along with drivers acting like spoilt brats rather than getting on with what they are paid for.
    I am sorry to say that in Motorbike racing they do it on their own ability and has kept to the true identity and spirit of racing unlike F1 weather these Team orders happen in other forms of Car racing I have no clue but as far as F.1 goes it has been spoiled for me personally.

    Hi All,
    Nicolas,
    I Agree with you to much money to make it a sport more worried about sponsors and making even more money than the sporting spectacle it was and should be. 🙁

    Hi All,
    TO23,
    Thanks for the link :eagerness: I don’t understand why they down graded the alert back to Orange when the report said:-
    1. Earthquake activity in NW-Vatnajökull is still very strong, 700 earthquakes have been observed since midnight and they are somewhat larger than previous days.
    2. The dyke under Dyngjujökull is now estimated to be approximately 30 km long.
    3. There are no indications that the activity is slowing down, and therefore an eruption can not be excluded. :confused:

    Unless it was because they thought it was erupting yesterday and have found that it never was plus that the main area of quakes has moved North and are lower in intensity lessening from above 5 to 4.2 as it states on their webpage.

    Hi All,
    Havard4,
    Laurent has allowed me to post the following about Jean Michel and a smidgen of news.
    Hello Geoff,
    Sadly, Jean Michel passed away in December 2008. He had been the president of association Ailes Anciennes from the start in 1977, and without him, our Lanc would not be in France, as being a former french navy officer and having had a staff job with Japan Airlines in France helped tremendously to bring teams over there for quite nothing, and brigging back the Lanc at the tax payer expense. I guess that even now, it would cost a lot to bring back such a large plane from such a remote location.
    Also about NX664
    Our plane will be restored to static display, and will not be able to taxi under her own power, the engines are just “dead”.

    Geoff.

    Hi All,
    So the final outcome of this little chapter is the saying Money Talks is true!
