The”Eh”TeamLooks like the punctuation police to me..:eek::D:):):)
The”Eh”TeamI say rather nice old boy:),some gooduns amongst that lot Keith.Second one appeals for some reason….;):)

The”Eh”TeamTell me about it, a lot of folks cannot understand forces humour, Ex or otherwise, you laugh at the most extreme injuries and grave events, probably because it hardens you to life’s little excursions, it stays with you for life and those that have never lived it often are appalled and put out by what a serviceman would find Innocuous. Sometimes I have to bite my lip and go with the flow with some stuff…. I was going to give examples, but thought better of it, I often think… Sh*t happens, get over it.
John, you want to come do my job for a day, maintaining 14 plus aircraft on my own, this includes engineering, ordering and managing stores, amendments, hangar maint, legislation, paperwork… Paperwork… And did I mention paperwork.. Tooling….and dealing with everything else.. I then on top of that can have 3 plus aircraft in bits and I am juggling all the parts, work required, jobs outstanding, spares ordering, engineering, legislation, audits, inspections etc in my head…
Glad you are good at handling your job and yourself well in all arduous conditions but you have chosen to be up to your neck in it and that’s your choice so as you say get over it.
I was also in the army for seven years and know the forces humour and for this reason a lot of ex forces make good firemen.As you dont know the circumstances of why I had a sh*t day “its personal” so for all people who might have to attend a funeral of a very close relative we will all remember your golden words of”Sh*t happens,get over it”.
Perhaps we could put the situation into context and put a massive banner above the high street of “Royal Wooton Basset” Sh*t happens,get over it.That would look good on the T.V screens and then think I wonder how people will react to that. Maybe even still walk down a ward full of people with tumours the size of a football and shout out loud “Sh*t happens,get over it”. I had to put this into context to illustrate sometimes how foolish a few words can be if taken literally. I really like to see words spelt correctly and consider this of more importance than punctuation.take the word dropped for instance is spelt by some as “Dropepd”.Now that winds me someone spouting the use of the apostrophe who cant even spell..(Peace ,love and Understanding)..

The”Eh”TeamHi to Anyballoons? and John Green,
Thank you both for the replies and suggestions in them.As you say AnyBalloons there are these characters that lurk about the internet and on various forums single out there target for a bit of fun and ridicule.:confused:for what reason I know not why.The same person that itemised my thread with a mini English lesson looked through this thread yesterday made one edit on someone’s reply and totally failed to pick up on any other grammatical errors on the thread.
Of course he’s’ been misunderstood and its my fault for getting irate:confused::eek: in being guided to P.C punctuation and he was just sending the lesson in a light hearted way”Sorry I failed to read it this way” but when you feel a bit S**t after a rough day sometimes your mind reading apparatus isn’t playing the same game as the other person who’s trying to point out to the rest of the user’s what a T**T he’s dealing with and I’m going to show him some proper English.
As for learning I’m all for this and of course its a helpful way if others who are more broadly educated in there specialist subject to pass on some little gem;)to help bring some reason with the error.Couple of marker points for me are to call me by my first name,”John” a big yes,yes and communicate with a little more tact.I’m not at school nor the Army I,m 61 this year trying to enjoy my computer without being *******ed about by wanna be know it all’s.
Thank you to anyone who reads this and can see my point of view and hope if there are others who don’t,you just may do one day when someone starts pressing your bad buttons..john bilcliffe:cool::)

The”Eh”TeamThanks for the link and pointing me in the right direction:) but will try to first of all see what relevance learning the finer art of of picture taking and image’s has to do with learning about some minor detail of punctuation.
If you have attained as much as Jackie Stewart has in his life who by the way was very dyslexic ,I,ll gladly take the advice of the link you sent:eek::p.All said in the best possible taste and meant the same way.So lets talk about civil aircraft image’s and not the intricacies of punctuation as I believe that sort of stuff belong’s elsewhere..:rolleyes::)By the way the word photography actually means writing with light so am keen on that sort of writing and its merits so if you can tell me where to put an apostrophe in context with this activity,I’m all ears.. http://www.virtualtraveller.org/beginners.htm this link might be helpful ,it gives some sound advice about reading books..;)
The”Eh”TeamAdd on’s
Couple of add on’s from the weekend..:confused::) 
I hope you like’s:cool:
The”Eh”TeamHi cloud_9 and MoggyC..Glad you liked the whirlybirds mate and its always good to catch a pair especially if one of them is flying.
I’ll try again with the link:confused: http://www.academy-contemporary-english.org.uk/punctuation_apostrophe.html cheers..:)
The”Eh”TeamThanks to you both and the mini English lesson made me smile Moggy:).So for the record on this decided to look the matter up and have attached a link that seems to make things a little clearer,” till the last sentence”.:confused::eek:
EGTC they are at the site for maintenance of one form or another.Yes a rare sight though at this place. http://www.academy-contemporary-english.org.uk/punctuation_apostrophe.html..cheer,s;)
Reckons ee’s writing a buke aswell:D:)
The”Eh”TeamThanks to Peter and groundhugger for more fabulous shots to this really popular thread that I had started with only a few bad scans.One thing I have learned, the camera what ever it is ,is only a means to an end to create the image which counts above all.:)
Having said this I really like the fact groundhugger yours came from such old dated types and to me its what its all about the photo not the camera..thankyou..johnB:)
The”Eh”TeamThanks again Giblets it all helps and from first impression it seems a murky world
on the industrial side where power units are made.Thank you..cheersJB
The”Eh”TeamHi Giblets,
Thanks for the reply and info but can you say where CFM stack up in
all of this.Its a hot topic between me and my neighbour who supply’s engines to which air-plane’s and plane maker’s. Thank you again for help on this as it’s a pretty poorly reported subject on the net.
I don’t know why this is but I was just looking for a slice of the cake graph and cant find one anywhere on this subject.:)thanks again
