noodles, have good friend who's son is handicaped and it's not a laughing matter sorry.

Yeah I've a few friends at uni who are. But then again laughing at people with ginger hair (Which is technically a disability) is socially acceptable

^Thats not a serious comment by the way.
I just hate political correctness as it currently is. Myself and my multi-national, multi-ability level friends find that, in fact, the best way to live is simply to make everyone and everything a target, as long as it doesn't extend to personal abuse and no-one takes it seriously, we all have a great laugh together. For example, my friend in a wheelchair who has motor reflex disabilities always threatens to run people over

Singling someone or a group of people out and saying 'its not ok to make fun of these people' is much worse IMO.

+1 i agree with corbs

making a point about it just makes the whole issue spiral out of control.

the world has gone crazy with Political correctness

Thanks for a great weekend lads good weather and friendly company, it was good to meet up with members i hadn't seen before. Its certainly a club with a mixture of different characters (thats a good thing )
Im out of the country for a couple of weeks now so i will catch up when i get back and hopefully get my name down for the next meet.
BTW good luck with the car Tony its going to be well worth the wait

I have a very close family member who is severely disabled....and if she would have been there on the day would have found the spectacle hysterical as would her father......we live in a time where PC, as Rich pointed out has reached stupid levels.......Seems nowadays you can't do or say anything without offending somebody......who has never told an Irish,Black,Asian,Thalidomide,sexist,Religious,disabled type joke...?
You also have to take these things in the way they are intended....for example you may be at work and someone tells you to "f**k off",but with a jokey delivery that makes you laugh....but if someone screamed this at you in an aggresive manner at 02.00am in the morning outside of a nightclub the phrase and intention would be different.........
The guys were only having a bit of fun.......there was no intention of offending anybody.
Next time we will call it "Drunken Man Racing" as the actions and race style will be similar......just hope we don't offend Alcoholics Anonymous though...?

top weekend!
loved every bit of it!!

wqas nice to catch up with you all
still a tad burnt mind..
all worth it


midlands honda are having a beach blast next month. your all more than welcome to come

if not.. ill see you all at japshow or JAE

how do guys. Had an awesome weekend at the show and glad i drove 177 miles in three hours without a break in a car that really was about as exciting to drive as watching a newly painted wall dry in the middle of winter in a house with broken central heating and a cat called bob. But to be fair it was japanese!

It was great to see everybody again and have a laugh and a few drinks.

Look forward to the next show we go to!

Thanks for a really great, enjoyable weekend; great company; drinks, stories, sex (corbs) etc

Cant wait to catch up again

Stu.
