Ah right. Well, if it's good enough for them, I'm sure it's good enough for me too then. Channel 11 has now officially entered my vocabulary. May God bless her and all who post in her.Originally posted by BA80 View PostI've actually bee on the board since early 09, I've changed names a couple times since then. Long story....
I actually was referring to this board being referred to as ch. 11 being around longer, longer than both of us. People here were using it when I arrived.

Sure does. A 'knacker' is someone who kills horses, 'knackers' them. In a knacker's yard (often used to describe a messy garden, workshop or similar). So something, including humans, described as being knackered means tired, broken or useless.Originally posted by BA80 View PostKnackered.....it is the language that separates us.
Flashing the headlight means there's a cop up ahead here.
Everyone would be slowing down.
Repeat flashers = coppers ahead..........
We smoke fags here too. And we never fall and land on our fannies. That word is extremely impolite.....XS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs. XS750 final drive (sometimes).
