Wow...Politics...
Wow! Politics!
Does anyone else use this forum as an escape from the dail cr@p around us?
Just bugs me when people drag politics onto a Car Building Forum...if you feel that strongly, go join young conservatives/labour party and do
something about it....but let me read about cars in peace...
Just me 2p....and NOT aimed at anyone in particular....

Thats surely what the 'non car' caht forum is for though.
This would be an empty section if we only talked about cars.

But this is in the non-car chat section.. Quite a few members on here will be in the public sector so might be slightly worried about it..

locostbuilders is good because it is not just about building the car mentioned in a popular book. There's all kinds of stuff on here, from
music to domestic plumbing to holiday ideas. If you are allergic to politics, close the thread and open another. There's plenty on here to
keep you happy.

Working on public sector sites a lot, I can appreciate that...

But surely it is better to dicuss 'light' political issues with like minded people, whatever your views.
Political parties are full of non like minded people following the same views....

I dont like politics at all - they are all as bad as each other. I dont support one party more than another. I vote for who I think offers the best
and thats that.

I'd VOTE to keep POLITICS off here... if that wasn't a contradiction.
I'd vote to keep religion off here as well.

The thing that bonds us is our interest in fiddling with kit-cars, or building them ourselves. But LCB (like all successful Forums) has grown beyond
it's core raison d'ętre and developed into a fairly vibrant community and as always, it's good to talk within that
community...
Anyway - I've just eaten a yoghurt with an Expiry Date of 18 June. Am I doomed!? 
It's Evolution Baby!

For another contradiction I think you PRAY to keep religion off here......

It's quite easy really....if you do not know, or are unsure what the thread is about by its title, the first few lines by the OP is usually a
good indicator......and if you don't like it, or have no interest in the topic, don't read it!
Click on the next topic!

Yes but if I post its generally because I need information or I have information to give away (normally the former). So when someone posts about
politics it pushes my post off the bottom never to be replied to again. I find myself posting at certain times of the day so most poepl read it and I
get good replies

Even the most friendly of bacteria turn bad after a while. There's a war in your gut now and its about to turn nuclear. Don't go
anywhere more than 50 paces from your nearest bathroom without taking a bucket with you.

Before I even learnt to read I developed the (often useful) skill of NOT reading stuff.
I suspect it would go a long way to solving your issue.
Good Luck!

Well, I find this forum is by far and away the best place to be. Love the diverse range of motoring related builds and crazy machines coupled to the
fact there are many peeps here who do many different day jobs and can give good advise in all sorts of areas. There's also a fair amount of
craziness, especially from the south west contingent...
A little while ago I asked about Landrover radius arm mounting dims on two LR forums and got nothing helpful back whatsoever.
Came on here to ask and got the answer very quickly.
Also asked about gas fire outing yesterday and thanks to the peeps here there's now a big hole in the living room wall.
Its a great place, nice and active compared to lots of other places.
Just try asking a technical question on PassionFord!
Long live LCB!

Couldn't agree more, I posted about fitting GSXR750 TB's on a modifies XJ6 Manifold to my e type, on an E Type forum, you'd think I
was the devil incarnate, judging by the one or two responses I got......

Chap, you need to get yourself some Peppa Pig DVDs, the one where Daddy Pig tries to put up a picture and ends up knocking a big hole in the wall, has
it bricked up and plastered in a jiffy, makes a fantastic job of it.
Another top tip from LCB

See, your 2p is now only worth 2.4 cents (Euro) or 2.99 cents ($). Opinions aren't worth what they used to be (and that's all linked to
politics!)
