    dijical.
    for everyone else it’s ‘digital’ but for special people it’s ‘dijical’ as they like to see themselves as different from others and worthy of their own special language, even though it makes them sound like a 5year old trying to speak while sucking it’s thumb.

    Only if your name is Rasta Rudy and you blame the babylonians for your exodus from Zion.

    To everyone else, babylons means a lovely pairs of knockers.

    ……. and babylonians a “a whole mountain range of breasts ”

    Funny how Landan seems to get such attention on a MTB’ing forum, considering our sport is about getting out in the countryside away from places just like Landan…

    Just out of interest…why do you support Liverpool?

    Some of me mum’s family hailed from Merseyside, and Liverpool were kind of the ‘family’ team. Them and Tranmere Rovers. As there was no footbally influence from me dad, I chose Liverpool. They also play in red, which was me favourite colour.

    I once wanted to be a fire engine.

    RB is just an eighties glory hunter…

    I bet his family is from Birkenhead, in which case he should support Rovers 😉

    Ringo and his Golden Pistol!!???

    WTF kind of cinema is that.

    A Leonard’s school of motoring has missed a trick there?

    I’d have emblazoned “Learning with Leonard” on the window myself. Or Leonard with a learner’s “L” at the beginning.

    Ringo and His Golden Pistol sounds like a spag bol western to me. A quick check at imdb.com says it is!
