BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

A Gurkha platoon is being briefed by their CO before an assault on the Falklands..

“Your aircraft will fly on this heading at 150 feet to avoid radar, then once over the drop zone you will jump, form up on the ground and close on the objective at these co-ordinates. Any questions?”

There is some discussion amongst the men. The Gurkha unit commander raises his hand.

“Sir, the men are concerned about the risk of injury on the insertion. They ask if it is possible to jump from fifty feet instead?”

“Afraid not, old chap. Fifty feet is too low for the parachutes to open” replies the CO.

The Gurkha commander smiles broadly…

“Ah, that is fine Sir. Nobody mentioned that we would have parachutes”

A nice story, but, it would seem, one with roots more in the world of fiction than fact. A pity really as I'm sure the bog would have been preserved for posterity in a museum somewhere had it been true.

So I was totally disgusted last Friday when I witnessed a council worker crush a snail right infront of me. I snapped at him and asked why on earth he would do such a thing, he said "the bastard has been following me around all week I'm sick of him"....!!!!

5 people in an Audi Quattro are stopped at a checkpoint. The guard says, "It is illegal to put 5 people in a Quattro. Quattro means 4."

The driver says, "Quattro is just the name, this car is designed to carry 5 persons."

"You cannot pull that one on me," replies the guard. "Quattro means 4."

"You idiot!" the driver replies."Call your supervisor over.

"Sorry, he's busy with two guys in a Fiat Uno."

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
