Independance Day BOTAFOT

Okay, so, bloody months ago I registered with Nodding Dogs, and other than
one chap from the Banbury area wanting to do a rideout I havent heard too
much from the site (my "free" membership is due to lapse next month).
Anyway, me and said chap from Banbury never managee to meet up last year,
but have finally agreed to do the BOTAFOT on Sunday 4th July.

Anyone else interested (Paging DNC, Wizard and Badger) it would be nice to
see y'all.

Because its a long way to go to see some broken plastic.

 

So you classify races by whether you can afford to crash?

So you do a happy dance to celebrate getting rid of us then?

One of my friends is a Brit living in California.

Every July the 3rd he has a party and at sunset he lowers the Union Flag
to the strains of "The Last Post".

Pisses off the locals not a little, does that...

 

I'm working. Which is probably a more realistic excuse as Pembrey's not
that far.

 

Funny.

I'm surprised the locals even know what it is.

 

Eh? Pembrey's fucking miles from anywhere, well anywhere apart from
Wales.

I thought you seemed a bit strange, you're not Welsh are you?

 

Well its not /that/ far, there and back in a day isn't unreasonable.
Could see the parents in Devizes en route.

No, Cariad.

 

Depends how dead I am and whether I can get out the house in time ;-)

 

Maxed out the credit card?

 

Not far? You are a bit of a star, you know.

 

Are they the right way up?

 

See, personally, if I could actually get out of bed, I reckon it would be
much more enjoyable done early in the morning.

Or whilst football was on.

 

the /uk/ Union Flag, you dumb septic.

 

Does he know he's celebrating the wrong day?

As I've posted on here before, America declared its independence on 2nd July
1776. The 4th was simply the date that the printer put on copies of the
declaration that he was running off.

The declaration wasn't read out in Philadelphia on 4th July, as tradition
maintains, it was read out there on 8th July.

Official signing of the document didn't start until August and the last
person to sign it did so in 1781

Interestingly enough one of the key events that stirred the revolution was
the best selling book "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, which denounced the
king and called for independence for the colonies.

Paine later went to France, where he was also instrumental in starting their
revolution, with his work "The Rights of Man".

He, however, managed to die a vagrant. After his death his bones were
stolen and brought to England, where they were eventually thrown away as
rubbish.
