I saw -8.5 on the MID in Alton last night (about 10 PM). The car went like the clappers on that nice dense air. [size=8]when I found some traction.[/size]

Feels like is not the measure of temp ;)

But with a windproof coat, you won't feel the difference between actual and feels like.

They don't work too well in Omega - Omega designed for bulbs, and thus doesn't work at all well with LEDs.

Added to that, blue LEDs are gay ;)

Never a truer word said. And with a bit of luck, by tomorrow, all the nasty blue LED Christmas decs will be consigned for the bin loft until next year - unless something new comes along and pips them to the top of the "gay" hall of fame. ;)

I know some may think "Lighten up, Turk !", but with 4741 registered members, there's a fair chance some may indeed be gay and may be offended by certain comments made in jest.

Just thought I'd mention it.

TB will try his hardest to offend everyone in time.
  
This time it's gay blue LED's not people, so that seems ok to me.

And for what it's worth I like them  :-*

Nah, to joke that even the women look manly ( :o some kind of deathwish eh ?) is stereotyping being gay as all pink clothes or leather, studs and big moustaches.
I'm straight, but I've met some guys that look like absolute animals. More like the stereotypical shaved head, broken nosed ex-boxer that's now bouncing at a club in a real rough area, and they've been gay.

According to a couple of mates who are that way inclined, there is a very real chance that a significant number are.

But, it is not my intention to offend them, and, tbh, I'd be surprised if they were offended.

I say sexist comments to women, who, rightly, tend not to take offence. Percieved racist comments to friends who are of ethnic descent.

I'm sure I say many things to white, straight males that some people may find could be percieved as offensive.

Its who I am, live with it ;)



The problem arises when you get those useless tosspot nobodies like that stupid bint from Liberty who is always on the BBC news. Get a life you sad bitch.


But I take, and understand, your point.  If it was advice, I choose to ignore it ;D, but I took it as a statement.


As an aside, one of my gay work collegues once said everyone had a bit of homosexuality in then, most never discovered it though.  His finely tuned gaydar (which I have to say was bloody accurate!) told him approximately 1 in 10 males were/had been actively gay or bi.  So, thats about 400 of our members then (seeing as we don't have many ladies here)

3 of the gay blokes I know drive Omegas...  ...it was actually getting lifts at lunchtime with the one I worked with - the team always used to go out for gourmet lunch on Fridays - that made me more aware of Omegas, then I bought one.

Well if you want a funny story Judas Priest, their fans, their lead singer is worth following.

They were huge late 70s early 80s and on stage wore a lot of leather studded belts ect.

Their lead singer Rob Halford introduced all the leather gear to the band, their fans took on the style ect.

It was an open secret (band protected and fans didn't care) that RH was gay, and he got all of the gear from fetish shops, thereby putting a lot of gay fetish gear into heterosexual usage.

All very funny and looking back over 20 years quite obvious!

Saw a programme on Judas Priest a few months back.  Rob H thought it was a right old grin when everyone took to the Leather 'n' Studs look.  ;D
