For you 253 owners out there, a 450 square bore Holley really is a great carb for them

I know this from personal experience.

But I still dont like Holleys. A QJet is a much better option
 
Yay!
Who needs cool engines when you have pimping hydraulic's :super:

My first car moved like that, but it wasn't hydraulics doing it......

I was whinging about that with a mate yesterday, everyone knows I'm a massive football fan so I luckily get to skip all of Monday morning ******** about which team of steroid abusing Neanderthals beat the other team of steroid abusing Neanderthals.

Except for one month every 4 years where I get roped into conversations with people who can't tell off side for hand ball with all their expert opinions on the "soccer".

I hate interacting with my colleagues at the best of times, when they are spout nonsensical ******** I lose all patience.
 
I know nothing about soccer other than
1) It bores me to tears
2) The most common form of injury on the field is a strained ******

To be fair, it has been called soccer in this country for far longer than it has been known as "football". ****, the governing body in Australia only changed from the Australian soccer association to Football federation Australia in 2003.
 
2005 actually - not even 10 years ago. The game has come along in leaps and bounds here since then. The domestic competition we have now is unrecognisable compared to the NSL which preceded it, and the national team, whilst arguably not as blessed with talent, has far more recognition both home and abroad thanks in no small part to moving away from Oceania.

Yeah but the whole world calls it football. And you go to Townsville and talk about football. They're vaguely aware that a game called AFL exists in the south but they sure as hell don't call it football. We as a country can't even decide what we call football.
Plus AFL has no business being called football for many reasons, the least of which is surely not the fact that you spend half a day carrying the ball with your hands.

An analogy that we can all appreciate: suppose we all like IPA but what we call IPA, the rest of the world calls stout. Imagine trying to have a conversation about beer. You'd seem s bit daft.
 
Do you mean like the IPA that originated in England or the IPA that is probably the most popular beer in the States? I agree with what you're saying but what's in a name anyway? Atlantic salmon and Australian salmon don't taste the same but it's not hard to separate them. :)
 
Other than in the UK, the rest of the English speaking world calls it Soccer, derived from Association Football. Not sure why Soccer fans suddenly have a hang up about it being called Soccer.

A) who amongst the English speaking world besides England really plays football?!

B ) Those that do (amongst English/European as second language) pretty much call it football.

It is called soccer by who? And what is their standing in the international game?
 
It's called Soccer in Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Sorry, but it is.

Even in the UK it is sometimes, although rarely, referred to as Soccer.

And all those barely make mention in football pages. So, essentially, countries that barely follow the sport get to call it whatever they want and expect everyone else to follow. What a wonderful concept.
