Naff
A word used in Great Britain to mean 'tacky', 'lame', or 'totally uncool'. Can also be used as 'nafty'.



I saw some other rather less polite definitions as well. :!:

the old cyber dictionary is getting a workout on here...


Fanfare

A flourish of trumpets or other brass instruments, often with percussion, for ceremonial purposes. Fanfares are distinct from military signals in usage and character. Their tradition goes back to the Middle Ages; in 18th-century France, ?fanfare? denotes a short bustling movement with many repeated notes. The modern meaning arose during the 19th century. Many British composers have composed fanfares for coronations; other notable examples are Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man (1942), Stravinsky's Fanfare for a New, Theatre (1964) and Britten's Fanfare for St Edmundsbury (1959).

Finefare was a supermarket company bought out and absorbed by Safeway who were subsequently sold to Morrisons.
Is everything clear now?

Unless someone has dropped a 5 speed box in in which case it's spring loaded hard right from neutral and then back.

Hi

I had a similar problem with a 4 speed ford 2000E type box. The small part pivoted from the gear selector rod cover that engages with the reverse selector rod did not fall into place. Took off the cover replaced ensuring that the said small part located in the reverse selector rail and all 4 gears OK and reverse then selected OK.

hope thats all it is then U should have a happy new Elan and year!!

best of luck

Bob

And don't forget Emerson Lake and Palmer's "Fanfare to an Uncommon Man", a improvisation of Copelands previous work. Both wonderful music, just different moods.
