We can cope. We'll make it into a random facts thread.

The sidewalks in Pompeii have light-colored rocks interspersed in the dark flagstones to make it easier to stay on them in the dark.

Doesn't help much when you're pi55ed, though.

My dear bobbo:

1. Living where you do, it can be assumed that there will be occasions where the fermented hops will be a strong Siren song.

BUT 2. I must say, I think this may well be the first posting of someone admitting to intoxication while participating in our banter.

AND 3. You are oh so correct about the Brits. Please elaborate after you have time to sober up.

I say ban the British, those cocky bastards! If I had any say in the matter I would exclude them from the €uro! I would even prohibit them from using the metric system, exporting motorcycles or producing alcoholic beverages!

Next I propose we ban the German! What have they done for us?? The VW beatle? It's got the engine on the wrong side of the car!!!

What about the Spaniards? They sleep from 12:00 to 15:00! Is that normal?

And lest we forget the Americans. Block them all. From what I see on TV all of them wear shorts, wear caps and seem to listen to rap music and belong to some gangsta mob. Pfft.

errr.... hang on. I'm stepping out side to put the cover on the triple (no garage). Hope I've got some ice left... that scotch ain't gonna cool itself.

Ice in Scotch???!!!??? Are you mad? How are you supposed to taste it if you've chilled it down to near freezing? If you want to put ice in something, make ^&*!$ing margaritas!

tba, I'm quite certain you are correct. I don't believe demon drink has ever raised its ugly head in this august forum before today. Or something.

Indeed you are Nick!
Keep up the splendid work in devaluating your pound. It makes the rounds of golf, the pints and Arbroath smokies, and even the copies of the daily rags (page 3 cuties!) all the more affordable to visitors.

As long as we can keep selling them to you chaps thats great. I'm no economist. Far from it, but I reckon a weak pound might be a good thing at the moment.

Besides we all know Brits are superior. Thats why we're here on a web forum for riders of our most superior product!
