I misread it. I thought it said "My sad Aluminium Kawasaki skilled in Ironwork" I'm still reading through the thread to find the bit about my ZX9R though. :wink:

No.
But neither is it worse/equivalent to the scale of the horrors of the soviet regime

OK, but surely it's worse or at best extremely hypocritical of the U.S. to indulge in things for which it denounced the Soviet Union ?

the 'US' didnt.
some maverick 'grunts' did, and they got banged-up for it.

A nation that has leaders who used the Marvel comics as their source of education, is going to have some rather odd ways of going about things I think. :wink:

Fascinating and all as these events are, while I was shocked to read about them this morning, I was far more shocked when I saw this Korean chick this morning I had a crush on for ages. She used to be cute.

I mean, even my mate who normally places a moratorium on Asian chicks due to lack of assage thought was cute. She *used* to have the coolest japanese cute punky dress sense, cool hair, now she dresses LIKE A GROWN UP. Sensible brown shoes, nice
skirts. The works. I let a couple of sightings earlier in the week go as just her "having a bad day". But, there are only so many bad days I can make allowances for.


Gutted.

I just thought I would put all this "Middle East" stuff into perspective.

Phil...I would have thought relieved fella? She could have carried out mentioned metamorphosis and still been your girl! :shock:

...or perhaps this is more what ya meant??

wiki : group which was to become AQ, formed 1988 by OBL.

Yeah Northwind.
How do you like them apples.

Jeepers, if I found out where Al Qaeda or The Taliban lived, I would totally take a dump into a paper bag, and set on fire outside the house, and knock on the door, and sprint off somewhere and hide.

And watch.

With my camera phone. That shizit would be all over the internet in a SECOND baby.

Dear Northy and Supervox,

There are a lot of people on this site who express their personal opinions on a wide variety of things - and more power to their elbow! They are great fun, create tremendous interest and discussion, and give most of us the reason to return...again and again. They also usually contribute to the "community" in many other areas: eg, how to fit GSX forks to an sv, here's the pics of my chicken strips, the best sarny at the Ace Cafe, I'm turning into a werewolf, here's a funny joke about motorbikes, who was the geezer on the red Ducati I saw in Malaga......

But suppose, for instance, that you are not a motorcyclist at all, have no interest in them, but want to get across some radical "ideas".....

Well, you find a forum that costs nothing, but is full of impressionable people. Then you have one of several options:

You might be a nasty right-wing white supremacist, so you register under the name...oooh, let's say "How Doo of Cathay"....and then submit a load of guff that you KNOW will upset ordinary decent folk, thereby reinforcing all prejudices against Cathanasians. Neat huh?

You might be a nasty foreign nationalist revolutionary. You don't actually want to discuss anything - you just hope that your oh-so-clever tirade against whatever bastion of Democracy gets up your nose, will rub off on some of the others.

You might equally be the sales manager of Fred's Dog Bike Co, so appear anonymously to extol the latest Whodat from Taiwan.

It's called a variety of names from "propaganda" to "spin" to "guerilla marketing". It's very effective.

Now, you can call me old-fashioned if you like - senile even - but I just get a bit suspicious when someone appears to pop up every now and then, solely to discuss one issue....I just wonder: "Why?". "Why THIS Forum?"

NOT, you understand that I am suggesting that any of this applies to anyone on this thread in any way at all. Far from it. Perish the thought.
