 Thy av a 73 Capri RS in 2 meters of Nor'umber muck. Bin er sense bout 86. 

@Piney

your accent is sh ! t. 

Zoons poy factly key lear to bee hoonest...

OK let's give it a whirl...

1 London

2 Scots

3 Never really thought about it

4 Weasely recognised but stoatally not what I'd have as a pet

5 None that I know of but no doubt there's a couple of them in the AA

6 None that I know of (but if they were real mercenaries, they wouldn't tell me) 

7 Not anymore (but I want one!!!) A couple of friends have though ;-) 

8 Nope. Sank one in a local verge though after overshooting a T junction. No wait, that was a 70's era Cortina. Sank an 80's era Fiat in a farmers field after barrel rolling it a few times on a twisty bend

9 See above

10 Hell yeah (although I don't think anyone really understands me)

11 By Jove, that would depend on the 'tumble down the sink' and being 'Scotch mist'

12 Nod and say "Aaaight"

13 Possibly, although I think it's more to do with the weather. The more equatorial, the twittier

14 There's certainly some validity there but it's a tough call

15 Pub crawls. Definitely pub crawls

16 Who isn't?

17 Hmmm. None that I can think of. I think most of them are sensible and wouldn't have purchased one in the first place.

I always enjoy a good drilling

Fail! 

Next question. Who's your Clan......and if you say "Blackadder" I'll punch ya.

Another one I've not really thought much about. I'm not really into family history at all although my surname's origin suggests it's of Welsh descent so maybe a clan around there. I don't play with them though.

Don't blame you. Who wants to be covered in spit and snot.

That usually happens on the pub crawls 

I guess I can only answer a few of those questions.  1.  York, 2.  Scotts, 7.  I have a 60's era Ford rusting somewhere.

The Kings of the North always ruled from Bamburgh. York had a habit of getting torched by both sides.

Ah, see I don't know my history.  I don't even know what parts of the UK my English, Irish and Scottish ancestors were from.  I only know that one group of Scottish ancestors spent a few decades on the Isle of Mann before joining the rest of the clan in Michigan.

My Mother was born in the U.K. and her father and my great aunt were well respected historians and he was a respected translator and classicalist also, so I had it jammed down my throat.

That's why I can break down the Bible into little bits and tell you whose hands were really on it and why they wrote what they wrote.
