Oh so true.We've been told for a week about the snow and it still brings London to a stand still, perhaps we're just to stupid to learn or 2 arragant

actually in the US here we use mainly steel nails.... iron tends to rust and give people tetanus, plus iron nails look pretty ugly to begin with steel or composite steel nails on the other hand are more attractive

Not true, they are simply waiting in the wings, ready at a moment's notice to jump into the nearest phone booth, change into their superherosilverbikersuits and charge in cavalry-like to kick some ass, take some names and save the day. So neah neah neah.

You aint supposed to hate me, we are brothers in Red Birds, the fastest of all CBR1100XX's.
Being here in So Cal is heavenly compared to where I was raised, little ole Long Island, New York.
