ykickamoocow 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 They just introduced speed limits in Northern Territory, before that there was an entire sgtate in Australia much bigger than the UK (I think) with no speed limits. That really p**sed me off as car companies like Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Lamborghini all used to test their top speeds on Northern Territory roads. Now they introduced speed limited all of those car companies are buggering off to South Africa. Bah Canberra is the best city in Australia, not Smellburn or Sydney I've heard it isn't so green now Canberra is a place where Hitler would have been happy as it is extremely ordered and structured. Every major road was planned before they started building the city instead of being tacked on after being built. It is one of the most organised cities in the world and this fact alone makes it one of the most boring places in Australia. The only reason Canberra exists is because Sydney and Melbourne were constantly fighting so even the reason the city was built is boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dribbler 6 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 I think the real question is, MG, does he actually dribble? A sound plan. I'll be wearing a pink carnation and an off the shoulder number. Doesnt England have one of the best transportation systems in the world? Oh boy. I'm p**sed and it's early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Indeed. Hours of arrow straight roads with noone around. Except cops. Damn cops So it is an exercise in not falling asleep and trying to find with micrometric precision the position of your heel that keep the car going at 120kph.

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Rather grand, can you go in and look around? We're all very chummy over here Cav. You can have tea and crumpets on Tony's lap if you want. Only on Tuesdays though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Certainly verbally. That happens every Wednesday. No really, we call it Prime Minister's Questions. Our noble deputy PM got into a fist fight during a relatively recent general election campaign. The last actually egg-related incident I remember was way back when I was still in school in the mid nineties* when Brian Mawhinney was pelted with eggs. I'm sure there have been many other incidents though - we never really gave up the joys of putting folk in the stocks. *I was probably in early high school, for them 'as cares.

Kopite Girl 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Sorry. I couldn't decide whether to use axe or annihilate.Back on topic, are we really the only two forum members to have met in the real world? I met Kay last year (Silverstone weekend). She's shockingly cool, and has a dirty laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Excellent! I can't imagine a dirty laugh from Kay somehow - she seems so serious on here. I suppose it's easier for us in the UK since we don't have large distances to cover. From Kettering to Milton Keynes isn't exactly a transcontinental expedition, after all. Which makes me wonder why the proposed TF1 karting didn't get off the ground last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopite Girl 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Lol. Forgot you're a Northampton bloke. I live t'other side, about 2 miles from Northampton town centre. Yeah. Kay's really cool, she wound up the other half no end with the Jenson/Williams jokes, and anybody that can wind him up is genius! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Any master of the wind up is sound. My sister in law moved here from St James last year, and I used to work in Milton Malsor - many lunchtimes in the Greyhound...... Whenever I've been to Silverstone I've always ended up meeting people who live just a couple of streets away. Most odd. Strangest was last year at Goodwood. First person I bumped into was the next door neighbour. I think he's stalking me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Ah the 'alternative' Silverstone meet. I do have a bit of a dirty laugh ( ) and Girl Racer has a great sense of humour, certainly was a ball, but didn't help both Button & Webber retiring in the first few laps, twas either wind someone up or be wound up. I have met a couple of others here by default and a few I'd like to meet, but I'm a bit 'out of the way' in South Devon, although it shouldn't be an excuse the amount I travel - I even 'bumped' into someone else on another forum by complete chance, the odds on that one!

The open fire.....the varied menu....ahhh. It's been buggered up the arse now though; the menu is standard pub chain fare. Did you ever used to see that short bloke with the ridiculously obvious wig propping up the bar? Me and the wife cunningly nicknamed him 'Wiggy'. Can't believe no one stole the greyhound.
