Warning - if you like motorcycles, but want to get something, anything, done, DON'T BROWSE THAT WEBSITE. I have burnt up an ENTIRE DAY, looking at all the cool creations therein...

At the risk of taking this thread astray,,, and for the enlightenment of American readers,,,,,,, the term Seppo frequently refered to herein is defined thusly by the Urban Dictionary:

" A derogatory term for Americans, originally a word play on "yank" rhyming with septic tank, shortened to "seppo". The term became popular among the British and the Australians around the time of WWII, when American soldiers were staged in both respective countries on the way to battle in Europe and Asia. At the time, the populations of both countries greatly resented that the Americans were able to seduce their woman with such ease. Not having much recourse, they lashed out the only way they could, creating silly derogatory terms."

"Oi, thayt bloody seppo had saix wit me wife aynd me two sistuhs!"

Evidently, some expats are still losing their women to those virile Americans that can satisfy their carnal desires,,,,,, maybe some are too, too busy with other matters and fail to keep the home fires burning? LL

Yeah, I briefly considered taking offense, but knowing Mash, he would have somehow turned it around, buggered me, and sold me some sausage...

So, I played it off

mash if you want to buy a scooter like this, i hope you also have a big toolbox...., and a lot of spare parts available in udon , you will need it.....

I just popped out for a bite to eat with my Chinky missus come back and the threads gone tits up !! LL got his or her knickers in a twist cos mr mash called Sateev a bad name ,,,,,,,, well red hot pokers up my arse , electric shock torture and the American favourite water boarding , bull whip me in UD town SUCH A HEANOUS CRIME !!

Well done Sateev dont you get cohursed into a rebuke by the attention seeking and history yurning LL , Now most Americans know the term seppo , lighty derogotive at worst ... its like farting in a church OH MY GOD !! and exactly like the honest hard working Brits have to listen to those rustic Aussies calling us Pommies and the like ......... us Brits are made of sterner stuff and we take it all in our stride stiff upper lip etc ,,,, and im pleased to say so do you Sateev again hats off to you sir , LLs toys will be scattered all over the room and bitten all the heads off mums flowers but life goes on ....... and as my dear old war torn gran would say i call the yanks 333"s ........ 3 inches 3 minutes 3 english pounds !! ( alot of money during WW 1 and 2 .

All this talk of vrility has got mash worked up , our lass is at her i love buddha club so i might go on an explorotive soi 2 bird spotting mission , i heard a rumour a red crested large chested wee Lao lassy bird was roosting down there.

Back to the scooters , suprisingly parts are easyly obtainable and i have amate nay a genius of a fella who 'does" all bikey things here in Udon , part of the fun all those years ago was not quite knowing if you were gonna get to your destination or what supri was in store with the Lambretta ,,,,,,,, its an Ehglish thing and not many other nationalities would get it imo. Lambrettas are a love ,a passion , a hobby , pastime not a utility vehicle to just go to work on its ridden for fun .....i cant explain can someone else who loves scooters ??

Mash

At the risk of being accused of more attention seeking, I will respond. And yes, I just checked my knickers and they weren't twisted or in a knot,,,, but I did find a huge sausage, oh my! Or what the Gi's refer to as a trouser snake. That surely must be why the Engrish ladies all swooned.

The common response that the British ladies prefered an American because of his money would have to be considered a slap in the face of English womankind and I prefer not to accept it,,,,, instead I prefer the romantic notion that the girls were swept off their feet by someone showing them attention and respect,,,,, but hey, that's just me, incurable romantic that I am...

And you, Sir Mash, have way too much time on your hands,,,,,, are you sure you're just a sausage salesman?

And now, I must return this station to it's regular programming,,,,,,,,,,,,, sorry for the interruption,,,,,,,,LL

An excellent reply LL just the one foopar .... its Lord Mash i was offered a knighthood by Lizzy for services in the feild of sausage sales to Africa however i turned it down and prefered to be a plain old Lord as it sounds a tadge more noble IMO...... i like to think of myself as a purveyor of quality foods from around the globe with emphasis on the sausage , google mastermind Bitish tv quiz show 1986 and i was a contestant ,, my specialist subject was sausages and their skins 1901 -1910 ,,,,,,,,,,,,, i won its in my blood - sausages n scooters .

I liked the bit about the " huge sausage " .... you should have met my gran !! and great to see you havent had the humour bypass operation that most of ur countrymen have obviously under gone .

BTw is it true that 7 out of 10 Americans (not seppos its derogotive) wear their underpants outside their trousers ??

Back to the Lambretta found one in BKK , seems the Thais are twigging on to the possible value of such works of art as the fella wanted 150 k no offers , a tadge on the expensive side me thinks.
