Was never expecting this thread to turn into a "light fuse, run away" type!

Morning all.
Us professional types on here do tend to get forceful when another questions ones findings & opinions. But hey, conversation was invented for the exchange of ideas & information etc.
A bit of good old handbag chucking brightens the day somewhat eh! I can't speak for the others, but I don't take it seriously.

Cheers.

Really? I think you'll find that Rictus has added and done more for this forum and it's users than any other single individual. Including actually spending his own time and effort to assist.

Afternoon all.
HMMMMM!! Look like you Southern types sticking together Sid & of course no one else on here does a thing for anyone do they?

And you're not of course posting for effect then eh!

Cheers.

Having been a member for some while I actually KNOW the above to be true.

No element of Southern sticking together, (is Blue not Dahn Sarf as well), just speaking as I find.

A ridiculous slanging match has no place here, no-one who entered one ever comes out of it looking good, and as one of the respondents you might think on that too.

PS. As someone who has a liking for good spelling and grammar I have sometimes pointed out mistakes, however to suggest that someones knowledge or findings is less applicable because of spelling errors is quite daft. I do hope no-one that would do that ever slips up themselves and thus be hoist by their own...

Good afternoon all.
I see that the sense of humour bypass was a success Sid old chap!

I don't think it's a geographical issue actually, (I think it's the 'home twiddler brigade' bigging themselves up).

I don't see it as a slanging match, more like good natured banter actually, but then again I do have a sense of humour, (& I too originate from down south & indeed spell it correctly)

An individuals spelling or grammar obviously has no bearing on their understanding of any subject (except English). I was under the impression that these little smiley faces were there to indicate that one was jesting, & of course one would have to be careful not to make errors oneself for one would indeed be hoist (ED) by ones own Petard, as the saying goes.

Cheers.

Start another 'Which oil?' thread Spannerman, you know you want too

[Spanner Man]

Good afternoon UKI old boy!

Nah, that last one is still way too fresh.
It seems that there's a growing number of 'dummychuckingknowalls' on here lately, who mistake good natured banter as something more serious.

But us good humoured types will have the last laugh, as they'll be wearing triple thickness bottle bottom glasses from all that looking down their noses at people.

Cheers.
