You know .... when I first saw Johnnys post, implying that ereb knew ..... anything about what he talks about, I thought he was being ironic .. sarcastic .... and facetious ..... you know " taking the mickey".

Now Im not so sure ....

Outside of the big cities it's the rare American that distinguishes between British and Welsh. Probably 60% don't realize the Irish are distinctly different.

Ha. A large majority of people I bump into here are clueless even about the UK. My conversations used to go like this:

Where are yo from?
I'm from the UK
Where's that?
Ever heard of England?
Yeah
Well basically there, but a country next to it.
Crickets...

Now, with experience it goes more like this:

Where are you from?
England
Oh yeah, where in England?
Erm..ever heard of a country net to it called Wales? It's part of the UK..
No.
Ok, England, I'm from England.

Watch Iannone during qp when he's behind MM. It's a good example of brake trailing

Too much. It's trail braking! :rolleyes: Takes balls to try and school others about something you have a superficial understanding of, especially as you can't even put the words in the right order in a sentence.

I picture Burton living among socially clueless Hollywood types in the '60s trying to explain this. No wonder he drank himself to death.
 
Best one so far was:

Where are you from?
I'm from the UK.

I ain't never heard a' NOOK.....

As a sidenote, under milk wood was filmed in the town I grew up in.

How many people here would know what trail braking is without googling it?

I imagine anyone who has ridden a bike on track. I've used it a lot on the roads as well, ie roundabouts, helps you get the throttle open quicker past the apex.

Oh and don't try it on dual linked brakes, it'll throw you off.

Trail braking. Brake trailing. Same thing. It's self explanatory. Even a fool could figure it out
Like I said, watch Iannone during QP. He trails MM and steals his braking markers.
You don't know this?

C3P0 can't you tell the difference between trail breaking and ball breaking?
