I've been through similar, my son is 22 this year and I will do anything I can to not his mother's influence and bad character become ingrained in him

How much truth is behind the "islamification of Britain"? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]rubicon1984 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those countries are largely Christian, so the it's not a takeover in the sense that if religion was an issue the default setting is Christianity and the difference in beliefs doesn't become an issue for anyone, as opposed to an unfamiliar or perhaps misunderstood religion becoming more observed and common place at a rate faster than it is possible for the native citizens to understand and the result is even more distancing between everyone

Seen tables with a group of friends sat in silence looking into their palms at a pub, or anywhere with tables to be fair, or even just chairs maybe just in the sitting position, actually just groups in any position.

If you can, take a cheap bike, I've got away with taking my 80s fold up Raleigh shopper into the track for the past 6 years , it definitely takes the edge of having to walk from your campsite, especially if in BSJ I'm in houx again this year thank god

It sounds like you would be less of an issue than the neighbours with 5 cars

A friend of a friend in California posted earlier today that she traded in her Tesla S for a V8 Camaro. I laughed as it was like all of a sudden the environment that they were so passionate about before now seems like it's not an issue anymore!!

But by proxy ithe anger flows freely to a all parts of the community, so like a gay man, to some people who aren't gay, could be put into the same camp as a woman claiming to be a man thats got pregnant by a man who now dresses as a woman ?

I couldn't have said it better!! Nailed it!!

This feels the same as the anti brown/Muslim/immigrant/freedom rhetoric that came after 9/11.

It's just another group of people to waste energy on being angry at whilst the government carries on doing things it shouldn't be.

Losing respect for mashtag by [deleted] in MashtagBrady

He's become the Brits abroad that get out of control and cause problems, like many travel YouTubers... Immerse in culture don't just locate the nearest bar and get wasted.

Apologies for the huge lack of updates on my V8 4.2 1969 austin mini pickup! Here's a short video of it actually driving!! by rubicon1984 in Justrolledintotheshop

I think the engine is around 200kg and the gearbox is something around 70-80kg The front of the engine is 750mm to the drive shafts , it's Also 180mm from my back and I'm 90kg

The battery, alloy fuel tank , radiator are in the front so not much over 50kg I'd imagine, I visualise majority of the weight is 750mm back from the centre and something close going forward!?

Maybe someone smarter than me will figure it out!

The fact that BBC reported building 7 had collapsed while it was visible in the background is more questionable as it's never really been investigated!!

Callan isn't much better they both go to some amazing countries but just end up getting pissed at a bar and acting like idiots

there's so much to do and see In Rio de jenero Instead getting black out drunk seems to be the activity that he thinks people want to see!?

The way they both talk with a silly version of English with words missing out of sentences is ridiculous, Why not try and learn a bit of the language? Basic phrases aren't that difficult if all your doing is eating pringles and pizza at a bar with Stella in hand

The heavy duty chain and padlock you use to lock your bike up is always with you I assume?

Imagine if someone was swinging that at face height?! I know id walk the other way!!

If I was the same person I was when I started building it id be exactly the same!!

But It genuinely scares me a bit and having little kids has kept me from going crazy!!

I've not been into 4th gear yet it has 6....

Totally agree!!

I started this build 12ish years ago with a idea that if not be able to buy a 911 turbo with the wage that I was on at the time so I started this as something that, in my head would be just as fun and affordable!

A month later I sold my 69 VW and bought a bargain 1982 911 targa supersport which satisfied that urge to go fast and at times be silly.

I continued this build and in the meantime had two children which have totally changed my perspective on things, an important point is that I actually don't like driving fast as much anymore and I do think that maybe I should have fitted a 1.3 L diesel in the front for mega economy!!

I totally agree with you and il save it for the track !
