What defines “Christian” then? 

Put them in with a lion and see if the lion salivates.

I just noticed that now @yen_powell.

Just admit you're from Essex FFS! The whole of England is shit anyway so it won't make any difference.

Ahh, now come on, it can't be all that bad, plenty of people try and live in the UK, they even risk their lives to get here, missing out the chance to stay in plenty of European countries on the way. I mean, it can't be for our brilliant climate can it. I'd be more worried if I lived in a desolate wasteland with no people in it, I'd wonder why no one was there!

"Location: Civilised part of the UK"

Surely that's an oxymoron Yen_powell?

Did I write that? Maybe, can't remember. 

Getting the hang of it now.

It worked Pete, thank you.

This has happened to me a few times.

I paste a youtube link into the editor box and straight away it gives me a live video doodah (stop me if I'm getting too technical) which if it is wrong I can no longer delete it. I've tried going away and coming back to the thread later and hit the reply button again and the little fucker will be waiting for me still.

What i want to know is, how do I delete a youtube video from the reply box?

Clueless! And when was Engelbert a hard rock singer? 

Actually I'm surprised that @Buckster can't come up with anything......as there is a connection to him

What about you @yen_powell?

No idea, too busy counting fingers.

I'm from Dagenham, I use all 12 fingers.

Very sparse dash on that Yen?

Stuff gets smaller as you age.

On the way to Machinemart in Colchester this morning to collect some tools.

In the cold bit of the year I am using a knackered pair of ex German Luftwaffe grey leather gloves. They are very hard to get now and my favourite pair is more holes than glove. I managed to get three pairs from a shop in Exeter a few years ago, sometimes I wear them but I usually go back to the holey pair. In warm weather I wear any old motocross gloves that I can find.  If it dips below zero degrees I might use a pair of those two fingered Pathan gloves, but only until I get to the city when I switch back to the grey ones.

I don’t think I have a cockney accent 

It's just how I imagine you, when I'm not picturing you talking like Crabtree of course.

Well we've got a Welsh Spaniard, so we have illegal immigrants wrapped up,

an Englishman living in Scotland showing the locals what is what, he can be our endangered minority rep,

Pedro with his perfect cockney English confusing tourists in lifts if I remember correctly,

And leave Bob Milligan alone, he may have done a few hundred dodgy human deals but if it wasn't for him we would get no visitors or tourists to the east end of London, he's probably supported a few million workers in the last 30 years alone, let alone all the dock workers since the 1830s who managed to get a day's work after standing around for a few hours. Also he is keeping the burglars away in our parking depot at night when everyone has gone home.

I did let a fellow ride my KTM once at a BMF rally, he sat on the back seat while doing so for some reason and it smelled like shit afterwards, no idea who it was, any idea @yen_powell?

My feet didn't reach the floor and I'm a tad under 6 feet tall. I was probably riding back towards and shouting out for you to catch me when I came to a stop.

From what I gather, I don't follow the news that closely, in America a policeman killed someone whilst arresting him and is going to be tried for murder. This has resulted in a few of people demonstrating legitimately and the rest all getting free tvs, luxury goods and trainers.

If the rozzer did a bad thing and he is going to be tried for it and justice is done and is seen to be done, what is the civil unrest for?

About 1976-77

That picture on the right always makes me think of Marty Robbins. This is how I remember you and I would like to point out, you didn't even buy me dinner first.

Early 80s on a plastic maggot (I loved that bike) and mid 90s, having a little lie down whilst everyone else is queuing en mass to get out of the Kent Custom Show, sod that for a game of soldiers!

Who's this.......

It's you in the 70s, I saw the picture in another thread.

I'm pretty sure Pete wore  every one of those items

I reckon you're right, but not in wool, he's more a man made fibre sort of guy.

Good to see he's still riding Yen!

Yeah, he was on the Dulville today. He has an Enfield Twin from the 50s or 60s and a black thing, an AJS twin something or other, don't really understand them, they are horrible to ride with their controls the wrong way round.

Here he is now
