Best we get to page 15 asap then to put some distance between us and p*ge *3 (I'm not going to say it again in case it is cursed. As with "The Scottish Play", I suggest it should now be referred to as "That Page"  |

As with "The Scottish Play", I suggest it should now be referred to as "That Page" 'Afore Burnham Wood do come to Dunsinane', if I remember my Shakespear correctly. How about 'That OTHER Page'  |

Gibberish - close - "Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane, I cannot taint with fear." Macbeth, 5. 3 So presumably we're OK until the woods start marching - How many beers does it take for that to happen? Mark |

Oh No!!! Not the trees.............!!!!!
Although I must say that on the day we won the world cup, a tree came to my aid, as did a set of traffic lights. They were the only stable things I could grab hold of to hold myself up when trying to walk home!

My english teacher wouldn't have been mortified, just astounded if I had remembered a Shakespeare quote accurately, so honest injun on this one - from the dim and hazy memory of it from school days it didn't look quite right, so I admit to looking it up! |

How very honest, the Commer would be proud of you as long as we don't mention The Other Page  |

Highest speed achieved by a Commer ....... vertically from the top of Beachy Head
Now that was uncalled for and just so unkind - that's the sort of thing you do to an Austin Allegro......... Go for a few tasteful modifications like this to assess the speed at which lift is obtained when launched down a runway...... [attachment deleted by admin] |

Austin Allegro indeed sir How dare you use such foul language on this site, and especially in the illustrious company of the Commer. Wash your mouth out with soap.  |

My dear chap, it was merely to illustrate the sheer quality and noble breed of the Commer set against such trash as the Allegro, when someone suggests chucking one off Beachy Head to check the accuracy of the 32 feet per second per second rule. If the Taylor Aerocar could do it in 1954 (see picture below) then I am sure that strapping a couple of wings and a tail on the Commer would work to add a new dimension to the trip to Le Mans.......
