Pushbike or motorbike?
Either way, it will be a bit chilly!
Both, and it is never too chilly to take the Triumph for a spin

I've got a Triumph Daytona 675. It is a work of art!

The NC500 is a stunning ride we took 6 days to do this but the views and people you meet are top drawer, planning to do it again in the Car next year and then the Triumph.

Says the guy who repeatedly failed to condemn misogyny, racism & homophobia? Hmm... You should get a motorbike, it'll help you to be a better person.

Secondly I should never have been expected to condemn anything on this forum, and nobody who choses to watch the world cup should do. All I have done is simply highlight your hypocrisy without any personal attack.
On a third count the fact that you think that you phrased that I need to 'be a better person.' Now this is most certainly personal - I have most definitely refrained from personal attack (despite being tempted!)
Keith read this, and read it clearly.....
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO TELL ME ON A PUBLIC FORUM THAT I MUST BECOME A BETTER PERSON. YOU DO NOT KNOW ME, OR THE STRUGGLES THAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH IN RECENT YEARS - WHICH MARK MY WORDS HAVEB BEEN TOUGH.
I COULD'NT CARE LESS IF YOU OWN THE FORUM OR NOT, I HAVE FIND YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS IN THIS THREAD OF LATE TO HAVE BEEN EGOTISICAL, NARROW MINDED AND DEEPLY PERSONAL. DON'T YOU DARE EVER ATTACK MY PERSONALITY AGAIN - AND I MEAN IT THIS IS YOJUR FINAL WARNING.
I expect an apology either here, or to my personal email in due course.
*By the way, where does the fuel that powers your car/motorbike come from?

You are either a wind-up merchant, who has now become wound up yourself, or, you are completely failing to understand the irony of being upset that you don't have the freedom to post whatever you want, in support of a sham event, in a country that denies people the basic freedoms of human rights. If you are not actually a male, then for that, I do apologies, as it is an assumption made on the basis that I wouldn't have expected a woman to be so determined in support of a country where women go to prison for having sex outside of marriage, if they dare to report that they were raped.
The thread had meandered away from the nastiness at the start, but you deliberately brought it back. I've made it clear what the position regarding the Shame Cup will be. You've made your point, that you don't like that position. That's the end of it.
PS I live in this world. I have no choice but to use fuel. I do have a choice whether I actively support the Shame Cup.
Potted Shrimp wrote:Keith, if you have been following any of this: I set up the World Cup thread as a test, to prove my point that your views are a hypocrite. You passed with flying colours as you censored and edited my post to suit your agenda, fundamentally removing my power of freedom of speech - which ironically is one of the major criticisms of that Qatari (and other Middle Eastern regimes) which you clearly have issues with.

What Keith is standing for is something that I hope everyone on the forum will never have to go through. A migrant worker may mean nothing to people who are just interested in the footy, but that migrant worker who has worked like crazy with 16 hour - 7-day week conditions, just to be able to send a tiny amount of money back home, is then being told that their hard labour has counted for nothing and that they don't even get their few pesos for their work, having been 'sacked' arbitrarily. Add that to al all those who have unnecessarily died due to disgraceful exploitation (Pinoys as well as the huge numbers from India / Pakistan / Bangladesh / Sri Lanka) that has gone on....well. So, while having followed this forum for years and knowing that Keith is ok about swearing, I will finish on FUCK exploitation and disgusting abuse of migrant workers and FUCK this World Cup and FUCK all those who participate in it and support it.

Interesting that posts about the World Cup will be censored but vile language that you have just used won’t be. Another act of hypocrisy to add to the this atrocious thread!
And seeing as you have just insulted the millions of people who will be following the World Cup, on behalf of them and from me personally why don’t you go and F**K yourself you vile little cretin.
Now why don’t you go and crawl back in your hole and go back to not posting on here you vile creature.

Just seems a little odd that this is where the line is drawn but when they make things you like, it's okay?
