Congratulations!

One of the attractions of this forum is the lack of politics which IMO is very important. In the run up to the GE on Thursday, I am delighted with the complete lack of political comment evident.

I'm sure that members will have many differing opinions but it is reassuring that they have not been aired here unlike on other forums (fora?)

Long may it continue.

Also, other fora start something and within one page it is completely off topic and then the respondents start slagging each other off about nothing to do with the thread topic. Sometimes very vitriolic.
Some people do not have enough to do or .................................................. ...................................
have the attention span of goldfish.

Totally agree BRD. I've blocked some friends on FB for 30 days because of their incessant political postings. I can't stand people forcing their views on me and my timeline. Keep it bikes and music, mainly bikes!

My politics are my own. I certainly wouldn't voice them on any forum.
As for the ukmoc forum, one of the best features are the non existent political posts.
I'm in agreement with Stinger, bikes, music and more bikes. Long may it continue.

That reminds me ………..another reason I like this forum is that members come from many different backgrounds and it answers an important question in the affirmative:

"Are friends eclectic"?

I'll get me coat.
