No more than Australians. The head of state is the Queen, but we have a
Gov't appointed rep. that does the job. It goes Parlement ( including PM
and all ministers along with the cabinet - as in your secretaries - but
otherwise like your house of reps.), Senate (completely separate from
Parlement - appointed by PM) Governor General and Queen. To change the
constitution requires the Queens signature. Anything else, just works it's
way up to the GG.

We presently have 5 different parties sitting in Parlement.

He hates people who disagree with him most of all. Presenters - as
they're called in GB are about the same level of development as US
game show hosts.

In that era (post WWII to late sixties, maybe a little later), 'three on
the tree' column shift manuals were common on entry level cars and
trucks. Very prone to crossed linkages and jamming, often replaced by
floor shift kits. Hurst sold lots of retrofit kits for those POS's.

Here in the UK between the 50s and 60s you could specify whether you
wanted column or floor change, especially on the Vauxhall range of cars.

That Olive Drab Army 1963 1/2 Ton Ford pickup truck gearshift, it was
stuck right there where the shift lever joins the joint in the tube
going down the steering wheel tube, tube that surrounds the steering
wheel shaft.I had already checked the shift linkage under the hood.Maybe
I should have been in Motor Pool instead of humping ammo.

The 2 1/2 Ton trucks I drove had automatic shift transmissions.There
were two levers sitcking out under the drivers seat.One of the levers
put the truck in Grandmaw gear.The other lever put the truck in all
wheel drive.The trucks were Governed, top speed was 45 miles per hour.

One time I was playing with the air compressor valve under the
dashboard.I ran off the road into a muddy ditch, it felt like swooping
down into a great big marshmallow.A few minutes later, another truck
stopped by.He called the Air Force to send a wrecker truck to pull me
out of the ditch.I told my Army Sgt a bumblebee had caused me to run
into the ditch.

He called 1 engine a volcano, talked about sex in this car
program, his big belly implies laziness. His long hair
co-host said "Everything is invented by british", both are
nuts. I would not watch if this program is not f-o-c on air.

That alone, is sufficient reason to hate Merkins. Just imagine if we
funded a terror group in your country?

I reckon it depends on what one's definition of an Automobile is.

Were the english soldiers who killed irish protestors on
"bloody sunday" ever sacked / jailed ? I never read they were,
this must be why many irish were angry.
