Sod It.....I'll Hijack Me Own Thread !!!!

Glass has been used for various kinds of bottles and utensils, mirrors, windows and more. It is thought to have been first created around 3000 BC, during the bronze age. Egyptian glass beads date back to about 2500 BC.

So now you know !!!!!!

Ah but did they bring it to Britain? I remember Latin classes at school and the venerable teacher saying that Roman Villas did not have glass in the windows, but perhaps thay did not find out how to make panes of glass until later.

Not that it matters anyway, but you did ask:}

Roman Villas did not have glass in the windows

Yeah..............

But if I put anything blue on my bike won't that slow it down ??? What do we add to the glass to get amber for the indicators and red for the tail light ???:dunno:

Dave......I've e-mailed the Pope to see if he can help. I told him that God rides a Honda so I'm hoping he looks on me as one of his own !!!

Try cochineal spiders for red and amber beads for amber, if that doesn't work go to Halfords and get some spray paint!:beer:

God rides a Honda, but Moses let the side down, it says in the Old Testament that "the roar of Moses'Triumph was heard throughout the land" (honest, look it up).g0551p

Nah, Moses was a jew, but the good news is that they've been making glass in Mesopotamia for at least 4,000 years so I reckon they must know a trick or two, and it's just round the corner from Israel, where Moses came from:yo:

Well.............

That's sorted then !!!! You reckon they can knock me up a set of indicator lenses and a tail light lens...in Roman glass...... custom fitted jobbies.......and post them to me ????

Ahhhhhh....I'm gonna be so proud when I ride into the Bash site with them on !!!!!!:} :}

Can't you just hear it now ???...."look at that fast black one with the glazed screen.....the tasty seat cowl.....and the Roman glass lenses":} :}

One slight snag, you could end up with Mesopotamian glass, but no-one will know the difference:beer:
