    Yeah - my kids picked it, they liked my university rowing kit (although I was never actually a full blue rower), that and I went to Rutgers.....NJ.

    Lol - can be in mid winter.

    Cambridge Uni senior squad row in Cambridge blue - basically any "first" squad (rugby, rowing and so on) is called Cambridge blues because of the kit worn. Thought it was slightly apt as I did not like Scarlett - Rutgers colours.

    You can also win a blue at Cambridge for being a member of a Gay Spy Ring and selling your country out to the Russians - Tabs can't help themselves. Awful place.

    Although, I was never a first squad member and lasted about 20 mins at Cambridge before deciding it was too difficult - hence absconding to NJ.

    That's why Tabs get spanked at the Boat Race they spend too much time doing their hair and selling secrets to the Reds. FACT.

    Where's Champ gone?

    I'm interested in what your take on Kill Bill is - can you,like Uma Thurman, make a man 's heart explode by punching his chest five times in a certain sequence?

    Bells are obsolete . . .no one will hear you . . . .they are not designed for the volume of traffic an noise levels encountered these days. Air horns on the other hand are great . . . .I find them very effective but very ugly ( The type that comes in a transparent plastic bottle) I've got on each bike. To spruce up the look a bit I split an opaque flash looking plastic water bottle in half, inserted the plastic air horn bottle, taped it up down the middle and stuck it back in the bottle holder . . .you wouldn’t even know it was there. . . Very neat and flash.

    You can also win a blue at Tabland university for being on a rugby pitch being beaten to a pulp by a group of talented sportsmen... and by watching rowing boats go past... now, a Dark Blue, that's a real achievement.

    Nice Saabs too.

    Oh and airhorns: a bit excessive and just not cricket.

    Taekwondo? Taekwondon't. Nobody's impressed by capitalised Korean. However the World Taekwondo Federation do have some amusing initials.

    Did that two-stroke Saab have a free-wheel? I drove one like that, which my friend owned; my mate only mentioned the free-wheel when I was entering a corner too fast and it was not slowing! I needed an air horn that day but had to improvise.

    Top level - now that would win Gold at the world Pun Champs. I don't think there's any way back from that.

    The freewheel was IIRC selectable with a push pull lever on the dash. The two stroke had cack all engine braking anyway so you didn't miss it that much, the Taunus derived V4 had plenty and I've seen people panic brake when they accidentally select freewheel.

    The freewheel was I think introduced to make the car less likely to skid on that hard packed Scandinavian snow, but it lead directly to the left foot braking style of driving that made Scandinavians such a force in rallying.

    I know this is completely digressing, but it's such a pointless thread anyway.

    Well that made interesting reading - thanks chaps :wink:

    NB Mountainroadie if you continue to be so rude you may well be banned - you didn't used to be called Spitchips did you?

    I have never used a bell on my bike let alone an airhorn thingy - I find an "excuse me" usually suffices in my neck of the woods.

    Having said that I did politely say "excuse me" to someone the other day, and thanked them as I passed by. Their response? "Buy a f*cking bell"

    :roll:
