Don’t teach Grandma…… (If you want the full quote I’ll oblige)

See the Rules of the Forum on the use of quotes.

I saw the rules, and they said:

If you want to post replies to multiple posts you can select them by clicking the multi quote button . This button will change to indicate that you’ve selected it. Clicking post reply will then bring you to the full editor with all the posts quoted.

Nothing about using some idiosyncratic syntax to refer to individual posts. Maybe back in the mists of time this forum had a BBS-style layout that lacked the functionality to allow the quoting of posts, but the rules seem pretty clear here. There may be an argument that it makes things easier for the mods by forbidding quoting, therefore they only have to delete a single instance of a dodgy post, but I see nothing in the rules. Perhaps you should read the rules yourself, before adopting such a patronising tone.

You don’t understand the use of the noun ‘syntax’.

Wrong again. Now I appreciate this will all be a bit ‘past your time’, but surely you’ve encountered the concept of computer programming? Maybe not!

Syntax (n)
Computers – The grammatical rules and structural patterns governing the ordered use of appropriate words and symbols for issuing commands, writing code, etc., in a particular software application or programming language.

Computer Science – The rules governing the formation of statements in a programming language.

Keep up!

It’s a long, hard slog to the sunlit uplands which we may never reach, and competing politicians do the gullible amongst the elctorate no favours by holding out panacea solutions. They may well be sucked in, but only to become even more disillusioned later.

Nah, I reckon John will be dead by then. :very_drunk:

When I saw the thread title I thought they were finally raffling the great white elephant off!

Surely that is XM603, or is that a white whale? Either way, I would like to see more Vulcans in anti-flash white and fewer in splodged camo…

What set of circumstances caused Cosford to release this Shack?

That MR3 looks terrible. Am I right in thinking that it was never fully assembled, rather than it has shed two engines through corrosion? I don’t think the future is to rosy for this one.

Charlie,

Let me sooth your anxiety. If, in the worst possible case, UKIP find themselves in Parliament with a clear majority but no particular other policies apart from our removal from the EU’s embrace, the country will continue to function exactly as before – seamlessly.

Eventually and in good time – the best possible way, UKIPs policies will slide into place.

The SNP said exactly the same thing and it was dismissed as porridge gargle, probably by ‘your lot’.

Let us hope that commonsense prevails…

An entirely subjective concept that aged right whingers such as yourself seem to cling to and fetishise for some reason, though only ever in the context of it being lost or eroded. Care to elaborate? I hazard a guess that you are old enough to remember a time when eugenics was considered common sense, after all.
