I never even thought of that No, that would be a disaster. Whatever it was I used to do at work before I discovered this forum, I don't want to go back to it.

Oh now you're just stirring up unrest, trying to divide and conquer. True though

No, I'm with Ralph and OYB on this one, it's not the section gepgraphy it's just the word region gets us going from time to time. Changing the sub forum to just "Clubs and Get Togethers" would solve that problem at a stroke but I don't think anybody is agitating for that. And like I say, could be worse, could be Irish, Welsh or Cornish

And K, I sexistly asssumed you were a bloke too for which I unreservedly apologise. Um, I will have to take this back though, Mrs Tiger will kill me!

i would say cronos probably deleted post as it was a wee bit rude. if he waited to send a pm to you and for you to edit it could have taken ages. I presume he sent a pm advising that it was deleted. give the guy a break its a thankless task being a moderator and cronos is a good guy. and when you speak to him you will realise he used more inuendos than most. he is a dirty dirty boy lol

stop your whinging about being called a region.......... its not the end of the world is it? & you probally havent got enough members to go splitting it up into more regions........... we all know scotland is a country ( i was tempted to miss the R out )

us welshys dont even get a mention, we have to be labeled south west (not even a mention of wales) untill we formed a splinter group THE TAFFIA

but its all good...................... play nice

Heh heh - bloke or bird, it rarely matters - when I'm here I'm just a biker.

I s'pose that's part of my point too - I could get all sexist or go overboard defending my gender or even get riled up and feel insulted...

... but why? It doesn't matter here, on the Org. I'm a biker, on a biking forum.

That's my attitude - but perhaps it's one that means I also get genuinely curious as to the motivations of others when their attitude it different. Because I see no reason to bring my sex into an issue I wonder why others feel the need to bring similar 'alligences or prejudices' with them.

I'm not say that either attitude is right or wrong - merely stating the one I have and inquiring about others in an effort to understand better.

Perhaps I'm just too curious me. But then it's a trait that dangerous to cats rather than people yes?

For the record, the historical basis behind most national pride is something that interests me a great deal. I mean, go back far enough and you really ought to keep sctum incase you get sent back to Ireland, and most of England gets given back to the Welsh.

Nah, just the Celts and Scots that'd get sent back to Ireland! Us Picts got here first!

Now were really gonna start a fight!!

Thank you Cronos.

Of course you do, you're all part of one of the greatest Orgs on the net, dedicated to one of the finest bikes of the last decade , but how often do the peeps from Prestatyn meet the peeps from Penzance? The peeps from Flint and Falmouth? Ryhl and Redruth? Well, about as often as the peeps from Langholm meet the peeps from Lerwick I suppose but that's beside, um, well no it's not beside the point is it? Buggered my own argment there.

Actually, I am genuinely surprised The Taffia haven't broken away but I imagine it saves you from having all those "Oh ignore him, what does a South Walian know about music?" type conversations...
