It can be hard saying the 'right' thing all the time. Personally, I get so bottled up, worried about offending people, I spend a lot of time ensuring I say 'IMO' and 'I reakon' a lot,,,,so I don't sound too bigotted ...........and also replacing 'you's with 'ones' so I don't sound like I'm being personal when I'm trying to describe a negitive point. ...you know, one can't be too careful with ones words when one is talking to ones fellow member, IMO, anyway.....but if I don't stick them in, I fear that somebody might think I'm a know-it-all wally. :eek: Heavon forbid....but then the worry gets so much, I find myself thinking ' bugger it, I don't care anymore, if they get offended, then thats there problem ! ' :eek: ....So, thats the point where one might say 'get a life !'
But what does 'get a life' mean anyway. I mean, even if I had a life that needed changing, how the hell would I go about doing that ? :confused:
I do respect a man for sticking up for his mate. But, you don't want to scare Lignum away. He's clever chappy. I like his work. If I was in charge of this show, I'd want more like him, who find the effort to post pictures of his work in this forum.
(shrug) :)

When I first came here a similar situation happened to me. I made a passing trivial joke, that was taken the wrong way, and suddenly all these blokes started coming down on me hard as well, with tut tut words......' I was thinking,,,what I do !? ...what I do ?! :D
At the time I was thinking....What a bunch of tight-#### wallys. Pictures of extremely well dressed, aristrocratic snobs came to mind. Bow ties, monicals, pocket watches,,,correcting everyone on their poor grammer. You know, like the monopoly guy. But I was wrong...:D How could you be dressed like that and push a plane ?
oh, I better bite my tongue :D Where's Ozwinner. About time he says something to lighten things up.
Well, ermhh arrhhhh.
Kumbahh.......................
Al :o
Hi there,
Being a newbie I don't really know the tone of this wonderful forum before I came along, but I think this is a seriously good on-line community as is:D I sincerely hope not too many more of the old guard drop by the wayside, as people like Sturdee have a lot to offer us. And I hope all this flak about freedom of expression (swearing) doesn't get too much for our moderators, and they give up in disgust:eek:
To put it simply, I guess we all need to adopt a more tolerant and considered tone, to ensure we can hang on to this wonderful Forum. If not we'll all have to go and get a life!!
Cheers,
See, I disappear for 10 days and the whole board disintegrates. :D
Peter, what Al said.
Grunt, didn't you ask for nothing interesting while you were away?
Uhh... Sorry. :D
that makes me sad peter. You were truly one of the great ones of this forum. I hope you do well, and have a great time with your dancing and gardening (you'll probably bump your head less :D) keep in touch, and PM your address - i've got something for ya :)
-Ryan
