no snow then?

I have! I love it - andI cant wait to get some brown and chase the lizard around ya know! Have you seen Trainspotting? surely that showed you that skag basically is ok. I mean it didnt do the British much harm in the 19th century. In fact they made so much money out of it that they actually went to war against the Chinese when those nasty Chinamen tried to stop their heroin trade. But of course we can conveniently forget that cant we?

OK let me ask you a question. How many people showed up to the Krays funeral? thousands, you know they were more than villains they were characters. Its like Ronnie Biggs, he captivated the nation. Now Im not saying that among yesterdays robbers lurked a new Ronnie Biggs but even though Ive now (supposedly) gone up in the world there is still that bit of me that lives on a houseing estate with my parents on the dole with no hope and the people we looked up to was the Krays or the Great Train Robbers. You may not like that, but I tell you there are a LOT of working class people who think the same. You know what thebiggest funeral in recent times in New York was? Do you think it was an ex-Mayor? An ex-president? No. John Gotti. He put a lot of food on a lot of peoples plates and they are grateful for that. Im sure that yesterdays robbers respect their mums and they would make her a cuppa. Just because they done a blag doesnt make them bad people. Well it does but lets not split hairs here.

its on an 03 plate black - its the car in my avatar! and that is also the view you will be getting of it next time as I speed past you!

Hope not ! ........... you should be representing the IS300 crew ........... :D LOL well It wasnt me that was driving badly ;) no, just slowly, like scarface does :P Ill be looking out for you! can you post a pic of your motor Nick!

Hope not ! ........... you should be representing the IS300 crew ........... :D LOL well It wasnt me that was driving badly ;)

I have no idea ....... GOLD has no moderators. Just Admin and Commitee, i'm sure they can answer that if they removed it. Maybe its time for me to behave myself now! :shutit:

This explains why you got an automatic LOL

No it's not left down to one person at all. I am in the privaleged position to know what is, and what isn't politically accepted. Yes, I know most non PC statements may be funny, and we may have a laugh, however there are some members, and non members who may be offended by the comments, and will often not even say anything. There is no definiative guide what is and what isn't, however members of the club must remember the section in the T's & C's that state : There is a GOLD members section that has a Car Park, for anything goes ........ OK well at least its got people talking anyway! talking of the Gold section, whatever happend to my thread about driving near schools blindfold at 100mph with a bottle of vodka in one hand and a spliff in the other hand with the subject "Is this legal?" :winky:

what colour Lexus was it? I cant remember now thinking about it. Wasn't you was it? :D I live in Chorleywood by the way :winky: yeah I think it could have been, Im always being cut up by badly driven IS200s LOL ;)

what colour Lexus was it?

LOL Id be happy to hear evryones Donut Stories!

Well I go to Switzerland quite a lot and I have to admit to being impressed by how efficient everything is there. Seamlessly talking systems is one thing, abuse of power is quite another!

I was trying to do donuts with my IS300 in the supermarket car park earlier and I couldnt do it, even with the car in L and the traction control off. Is there any way of doing donuts with my car?

Agreed. We dont need the ID card. We dont need centralised databases. More money spent on police with more of them on the streets instead of being caught up in paperwork is what we need. And we also need to get rid of Blair asap before he and his cronies destroy this country.

Navy blue polo shirt in XXL would do nicely!

On December 28th last.

ive ordered a baseball cap! any chance of t-shirts in any colour other than wife beater white?

Sounds like your working hard on this controversy thing bud. Some people CAN take things the wrong way. But usually the best way to avoid this is IF you are going to post any jokes - make sure they're not pointed at any kinda race/religion/s*x. I find that everybody gets treated equally on this site and that's what appeals to me. It IS like having an extended family with a sterile atmosphere and I personally find that good. Just chill out mate and enjoy the nice people. I've caused a bit of controversy with previous jokes as well (not intended). It's just usually down to me reading a joke, and then forgetting to read it AGAIN before posting. :winky: i have always been careful not to single out people based on race religion or s*x. But I think that insulting people based on their social class, level of intelligence, the way they look is fine! Dont you?

All hail Emperor Bush *eyeroll* L. i was in the US a few weeks ago and I agree its ridiculous there. Basically people have given up their freedom to a bunch of morally corrupt imbeciles who think they can throw their weight about in the Middle East like thugs and criminals but at the same time expect things at home to be perfect. You cant even buy a train ticket in the US without showing ID. I agree its much worse in the US than in the UK. At least in the UK we had the sense to put the brakes on the 90 day internment thing. Overall though the behaviour of Britain and the US is basically a green light to any other country to abuse human rights. And before anyone calls me a lefty I would like to say I have been a member of the tory party since I was 16. (that explains a lot right :winky: )

but surely its more fun to create some controversy. if you have such stern rules it creates an incredibly sterile atmosphere

so I can say anything I like but if its not to the tastes of a few people then it will be altered?

Privacy means the right to be left alone By Ian Cook Imagine a world without privacy. Where you go, what you do there, and what you buy can all be constantly tracked via what you carry, wear, drive or spend. In this world your personal information can even be implanted somewhere about your person for "authorities" to read and interpret. With hardly a public fanfare, this world is now being created using RFID technology. RFID stands for "radio frequency identification" and works by "tagging" an object with a computer chip containing information and a unique number. RFID reader antennae then send electromagnetic pulses that cause any in-range RFID tags to respond by beaming back the information stored. More RFID trials have been run in the UK than anywhere else in Europe and the main use – so far – is in supply chain management and monitoring customers' choices and spending patterns. Unsurprisingly, the microscopic devices are proving popular with retailers. But they comprise just one of a number of privacy-threatening technologies. The UK already has more CCTV cameras than any nation in the world, filming the average person 300 times each day. Updated, these cameras will read car number plates, recognise faces and then store our every movement in a database whether we commit an offence or not. Satellite based "tag and beacon" road pricing technology will supplant rudimentary congestion charging systems so that our vehicles can be pinpointed even when we drive miles from the nearest CCTV camera. Travel cards such as London's RFID-based Oyster not only simplify ticketing but provide exact and timed records of our journeys. The majority of us carry mobile phones that can be used to pinpoint our location, track us and listen to our conversations. And satellites are photographing our homes to detect improvements that could push up our council taxes. Internet service providers have been forced to install remote controlled black boxes that, when activated, pass our data to the security services. We in turn are legally obliged to surrender passwords and encryption keys when asked. In 1997 there were 1,712 warrants allowing phone taps. By 2003 this had shot up to 4,827. The UK currently has one of the world's largest DNA databases where our genetic signatures are logged if we are arrested – even if no prosecution follows. Health services are compiling centralised databases of our medical histories that disclose intimate particulars to those who want to monitor our lives. Identity cards – essential, we're told, to fight terrorism, fraud and organised crime – are being designed to hold more than 50 pieces of information about the bearer, including fingerprints, iris patterns and face recognition. And the real threat to our civil liberties is that all the databases containing our personal details are intended to be linked so that the full stories of our lives can be recovered and reviewed remotely from a central point. So how did we become lulled into accepting technologies that rob us of our privacy? Just as a stage magician deftly directs your attention toward one hand so that you don't see what his other one is doing, we have been led to debate the right "balance" between liberty and security. The implication being that we cannot have more of one without having less of the other. With each loss of privacy we are told the information will be used only in extremis in the national interest. In 1985, summing up the case against Clive Ponting for leaking to Tam Dalyell MP the secrets of the sinking of the Argentine warship Belgrano during the Falklands conflict, a judge said that the interests of the state were none other than the interests of the party in power at the time. Luckily, said some – perversely, said others – Mr Ponting's jury disagreed. But for the magician in government, only a little sleight of hand is needed to confuse national and political interests. It's time we woke up to how far our civil rights are being eroded and started debating all this openly. In the words of Louis Brandeis: "Privacy is the right to be alone – the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilised man."

Well I saw my joking thread on Gentlemen Robbers has been closed. I was wondering what exactly are you and arent you allowed to say? I thoughjt we lived in a free country and as I am not from Morecombe or Bridlington I have the freedom to say what I want. I was only having a laugh anyway - seems some people are very easy to wind up
