Should we refer to you as "Mr. Farts Flowers"?

In usual Brit fashion you got the cart ahead of the horse, so instead of "yanking the chain" you pre-empt it by saying "taking the piss". What term do you guys on the Isle have for "talking shit"? If it is consistant with the cart ahead of the horse you would probably say "we're thinking about taking down our knickers" LOL |
one phrase we would use for talking shit is talking bollocks. Bollocks being cojones 
As far as the bus goes, it seems cheap whether he paid £10k or $10k or even £13k (plus the shipping). 23 window buses are in high demand these days and Steve's lucky enough to have two! Whether he sells it or keeps it and races it  it'll still be cool to have another barndoor 23 at the shows in the summer |

If the guy truly understood the magnitude of his poor judgement, he certainly would have rethought the situation before they went and PUBLISHED this comment. That, in my opinion, is not too different from walking into a Black neighborhood and screaming the "N" word. Either one is likely to go over like a fart in church. |
Hope I don't run into this writer or columnist. Does anyone know the name of this guy???? |

If it's Skim who has the old Volksworld or busracer, I forget which, he should have the authors name on the article. Though I have also known editors to make their own captions.

Busracer has it in hand. I have it at home but Im at work right now and yes it says something like "Many of our UK readers would like to know how the owner gets his car this low. Just sit in it with his wife and the shocks will break".
No shit.

*****Hot off the presses*****
I just talked to TrayleD the OGGFK just told me the scoop on that racist caption from Volksworld. He explained confronting one of the editors of Volksworld about it at drag days last year. Heres what he had to say...
Trayle has been wanting to get to the bottom of that picture for years now.
He saw Stephan Szantzai, one of the writers from Volksworld Magazine at Drag Days and just happened to have that particular magazine with him when Stephan was walking by. He pulled him to the side and said, "Who wrote this and Stephan was like No No! That was Ivan's fault...
It all about the blame game over there.
Believe me, That has been brought up to them many times already.

| i can see not really understanding using beaner...but to go on about the shocks thing and using the term 'ol lady is really fucking pushing it. i think it really adds up to racism. i think traditional mexican culture is beautiful and havent a racist bone in my body...maybe i dont understand everything about different people in the world but im trying. |

Check it out guys. I was at drag day last year. John Canales(of the GFK) had just finished buying some magazines from the swap meet. That particular VolksWorld was one of the magazines. So I grabbed it and went to show some of the guys what was written in it. I have known about that caption for years. I think I first read it back in 1997 and I couldnt believe it. Anyway, just as I was reading it to my homies I saw Stephan walking by. I couldnt resist, the article said it was written by him. So I cornered him. I was gonna gauge my actions based on his response, not knowing if there was some sort of cultural difference in the wording. But as soon as I brought it up to him he seemed to know what I was talking about, and quickly blamed it on someone else. Skim is mistaken, he didnt blame it on Ivan, I think he said it was Mike Pye but Im not sure. Ill tell you this for free though. Youll never get a real apology outta any Britt. They may say "ya, I said something offensive" but the very next thing outta thier mouth is always "you YANKS dont understand Brittish humor".  And in respsonse I say "Give Ireland back to the Irish you limy bastards"..... That usually gets them going.... :fist:... But hey, No offense!!! Thats just YANKEE humor...

OK, get ready with the drum roll...
I apologise on behalf of all brits for everything shitty we've ever done.
OK, your turn...
Anyway, seriosuly guys, why doesn't everyone just chill out. If someone has said something racist shouldn't you be taking THAT PERSON to task? Am I on another planet here or what? Has everyone on here one f*cking insane? You are at once moaning about racism then in the very next post being racist about Brits!
Come on, for fucks sake, grow up. |

And do you really think we fucking WANT Ireland? Its the fucktards who are running this country who can't sort it out.
Hmm, let me see - lets have loads of people die (on BOTH sides of the troubles) for a lump of rock where no-one really wants us, and we don't really want to be there.
Politics. Don't confuse politics with the will of the people, no matter how much bollocks you hear about democray.
There I go again spelling stuff wrong!
Oh and Trayle, are you trying to bump up to Americas quota of wankers or what? |

Sorry, went off on one then.
Trayle, just lay off OK? I was under the impression that we were all on here because of a common love of Volkswagens. Any idiot can spout of shit done in the name of King and country that's wrong, I'm sure if I thought long and hard enough I could point a finger at you for soemthing done years before your birth, but who cares? No-one. I aren't here to abuse anyones country, because I've got a lot of respect for nearly all the guys on here, no matter where they're from. plus I've got no problem with any other country because I aren't racist.
Hey, Trayle was right, saying that Ireland shit really does get people going eh? I wonder why - Has it ever occurred to you Trayle that people's lives have been lost over this? Thats right dickhead, REAL PEOPLE. Anyway, Guys, lets try to get on, and Trayle - shut the fuck up OK?

I'm am gonna apologise now as I am sure this will offend some people!
Back in 97 when I read the VolksWorld article about the Mexican guy I was REALLY offended by the comment. At this time I had not had the pleasure of knowing any Mexican people, that was until my visit to LA in 2001 and what a great bunch of people I met!
Secondly there is no such thing as Britain or the United Kindom (well in my mind anyway) I find both terms offensive/rascist and I would suggest if you are using this term you have no real understanding of the people. There are 4 countries England, Northern Ireland (NI), Scotland and Wales, NOT Eire (Ireland). As for giving back NI, too many NI people want to stay 'British' or so I'm told by our Goverment.
As we are on the subject of racisim, we are all rascists by birth, though we will hide behind the term 'National Pride', lets remember 'National Pride' killed six million Jews during WW2.... I read that at Ann Franks House in Amsterdam.....
The real reason there is a them and us between ' Britain' and the rest of the world is because sub-consciously we still believe 'Brittania Rules the Waves' and are scared by our lost ed Empire including North America and we also have to admit to ourselves we would be speaking German if it wasn't for those 'Yanks' though obviously 'National Pride' would never allow us to admit this or say it out loud. We are very reserved, unless mixed with alcohol and supporting our National Football side when 'National Pride' steps in and we seem to think it is WW2 all over again......
I have found Americans, French, and German people, who I don't know, visiting England very brash, offensive, loud mouthed, ignorant etc, etc but when I visit their countries they are the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. Infact much more warm and inviting than English people finding Americans, French, and German people in their country......
I'll let you decided what is fact and what is 'British' sense of humour......
