2013 fresh start.

Shhh or we won’t get that fish supper they have been promising us, all from 5 loaves and a couple of trout..

😀

Which two are the trouts? 😀

Firebex, Shirley not you? A grn man?? I would have thought that North Yorkshire would have only produced Bluemen due clder temps ( unless they’ve been down to Wales and playing with the Wode).
Anyway chaps and chapesses, Hope your Christmas headaches have now gone “oop t’ chimbly” and that the New Year will bring us all a bit of Peace and satisfaction and lots of “interesting” posts.
A special thanks to the Webmaster and all his little Mods for your forbearance and good work, it is appreciated.

I was being circumspect so as not to generate yet more threats of lawyers.

Moggy

Remember that the threats of legal actions came about when light was thrown onto some actions that were potentially dubious.

*Potentially dubious*?? That’s where the bar is set for threats of lawsuits?

We have got the ice cold hose pipe ready for when he emerges !!!!!!

You’re supposed to dip his fingers in water while he is sleeping :rolleyes:

Hey Up lads Moggies off on a Susannah York trip you can say what you want about him for a couple of hours we have pad locked the door to the darkened room as there are strange and guttural noises emanating from within .:D:D:D:D

Now then where’s that green paint gone ??????:diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo:

Now then Mark 12 I have told you dont call me Shirley

Might be worth checking that as you lay down on the bed listening to a nightingale sang …. that it isn’t Christopher plummer under the covers; NO COLIN…….

I just need to lie down for a moment in a darkened room

For example the thread relating to the band members,

I’ve been here a while but I don’t remember that thread.
If we are on the subject of bands though, I would imagine that Moggy would quite like to be associated with a WAAF band in some way.
Moggy, just let let that fervid imagination of yours play with the idea of four ranks of four perfect Susannah York lookalikes. Tunics as crisp as matrons apron, not a wisp of hair touching a collar and not a wrinkled stocking to be seen–all for your delectation.

Happy new year mate–and I still owe you a beer.

Andy.

PS. You will have guessed by now that I don’t take any of this in the least bit seriously.

I Joined this forum because its better than another i was with, who’s posters were more interested in criticizing posts than reading their comments, spell checks only work if you know you have spelled a word wrong.

As you just demonstrated with who’s instead of whose 😉 😉 😀

We try not to criticise people here for honest attempts at spelling and grammar that miss technically. As long as it’s understandable we’ll live with it. But the mods do tidy up the headlines to make sure they are instantly readable, and we come down hard on ‘txt spk’

stmterrace, it’s quite simple really, those who contribute shape the site. You put nothing in, so you can’t realistically expect it to reflect your interests unless it’s purely by chance.

… and the Saunderses …. of this world were God-like

Its a good Forum …& some people are Aviation purists —I for one didnt join to browse dusty old tombes in a basement …

As a member on other forums —what is needed is a sense of humour , a basic interest in the subject , respect for other members postings with a small smattering of sarcasm. . However what is guaranteed to hiss me ( a maybe others off ) is long serving members , who wrongfully think this is THEIR Forum !! who are so far up their own bums , that they will wake up one morning wearing themselves as a top hat !!

Happy New Year !!!

I like the forum as it is. As many others have said its the variety of threads and posts that keeps it interesting. It’s not solely an archive or sterile environment for academic or technical discussion but a forum for people with a shared interest to enjoy themselves. Most threads are informative, some inspiring others just a plain laugh. I must confess to getting a bit of a headache while reading a few threads but that’s the joy of having ones own mind, when you’ve had enough move on.

We already live in an age of political correctness that means that free speech is effectively a thing of the past. Little good seems to come from increased levels of censorship, if it isn’t broken don’t fix it.

Oh and for reference the autocorrect only comes into play if your spelling is incorrect in the first place or your fingers are so big that they just mash the keyboard 🙂

Sorry forgot to add that I apologise if there are any spelling or grammar errors in my post as trying to write the postings on an iPhone and kindle and both have an odd auto correct system.

That’s no excuse!!:rolleyes:I certainly enjoyed the comments about the “band” members! I wondered which band the three of us were supposed to be members of…..:D

“the Saunderses and Arnolds of this world were God-like and certainly not approachable”.

Thank god thats changed then…….(sorry is that not serious enough for this forum?)

I can only speak for myself. When I was younger, in pre-internet days, I used to buy FlyPast every month and two things seemed certain – I was a weird kid being interested in this stuff, and the Saunderses and Arnolds of this world were God-like and certainly not approachable.

This forum means that like-minded people can talk about what interests them whether they are published historians or that aeroplane-obsessed kid a lot of us were – or somewhere in between.

This in turn means that there will be, in an open platform for free speech like this, some comments that seem trite, naive, or even drivel. Not all of this from ‘outsiders’ either!

It also means that fresh ideas, viewpoints and voices enter the mix, keeping things in our little world fresh, and – pertinently – honest.

Jeepman says it all for me
