What has the UBeaut Bulletin Board Done for you?

[Driver]

All of you have already said it for me.

Other people - Mick (journeyman Mick) and Darren (silentC) among them - have from time to time compared this BB to the sort of group you might meet in a big working environment or a large club. You meet people who have a common interest but who are all different. The rich mixture makes for a great atmosphere.

Thanks to all of you for cheering me up, pissing me off, making me laugh and teaching me a helluva lot!

Most of it has already been said, but the best thing it has taught me is a new appreciation of hand tools.

Previously I would have gone out of my way to avoid using certain hand tools now I grab the best tool for the job irrespective if it is plugged into a power point or not.

And ofcourse the friends I've made on the board, great bunch of guys with the same weird sense of humour.

Where else can you get good advice, help & insultes all in one sentance from a bunch of likeable ratbags???

Agree with; Termite, Ruffly, Craig, Wood Borer, Rocker &......... well... you know who you are!!

[Grunt]

I really like this BB except for all the foilie wearing, pancake eating, tool using wood workers.

[Studley 2436]

I would like to say what everyone else has but this is all getting a bit too touchy feely for me! GROUP HUG AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH This is making me feel all soft and lovely. I think I want to cry. You are all just so beautiful, I love you soooooo much.

GOD STEVO WAKE UP COME TO YOUR SENSES MAN

This is woodworking list. They are all tough and strong here. Be a proper bloke or get chucked out on your ****. Get all that finger licking soft touch, willy nilly, mumbo jumbo and take it out of here.

THIS IS THE SHED

Now where did Zed put that link to Kum-bay-yah again?

[Zed]

I've personnally learnt how to spend a poo-pot of money on stuff I dont really need to survice. However I love this hobby and it gives me a sense of acheivement when people say "bugger, I thought you were useless at everything, can you make me one ?" the best part is when I say it will take x time and y of your $ for me to do this and they say ok.

however - we hates you all, you and your tricksy ways, give me back my ring, wankers the lot of yers. especially craigb, silentc, frigging grunt, wongo, OZWINNER!!!!, bitingmidge - pah!, woodborer, doorstop, darrylf and his sanitary workshop, majorpanic and his endless supply of new toolware, bloody and alexs, and all you others that make fun of us poor lower order primates ....

I feel a rendition of:
"I'm a bloke, Im a yobbo,
and me best mates name is ,
me shirt is flannellette,
blue heeler for a pet... etc..."

kissi ... kumbay ya... kumbay ya.

Yeh Stevo!

Give yerself a left-handed uppercut!!

[Caliban]

Almost too late, the thought of hugging collectively with you lot. :eek: :eek:
I spend way too much time , my time not work time :eek: :eek: :eek: , on this forum. It's the only place I go everyday without fail, sort of like a toilet really.
Speaks volumes about you lot of ratbags. Can't wait for the Newcastle show to meet the monkey boy.

[Mulgabill]

Besides the humour, I look forward to my daily fix of inventive solutions and advice from experienced woodwreckers given honestly and freely.

Thanks to Neil, Ubeaut & All

[Zed]

what makes you think I wont avoid you again ? eh ??? you were a friggin no show - neil told me! )

Now now it's all right. The foilie will keep those nasties away, besides you'll have the yew beaut new cap to help identify me this time. I might leave SWMBO at home this time so I can hang around longer this time instead of doing laps ten metres behind you. with her foot tapping out an increasingly more urgent tattoo with each successive lap.
You can't get out of it anymore, so bring those muffins with you as I still haven't sampled one of those thanks to that silent(?)C character, who stole my last one after plying me with copious quantities of amber liquid.

[Groggy]

Hmm. I recall getting in on the Big Bessey Buy, that has greatly simplified clamping time and effort, allowing me to get other things done.

I have a shed-load of wood, thanks to this BB.

My TS was researched here and in other fora.

I've picked up lots of local knowledge of stores, events, displays etc.

I get to help others on occasion.

Techniques and ideas are easily retrieved from the search engine.

I got to meet some good guys in the process.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot - it has a resident talking monkey!
