I first joined this sight in 2003. At that time the forum a bit different

Hey Dave, I only realised we had a Intro and Welcome forum in Feb just gone. Tried to make up for it since in greeting everyone I can. Nothing worse than posting in an intro forum and getting no responses. It's happened to me on quite a few forums in the past, luckily we have great members here who don't let that happen.

Brian Blessed has joined the forum!!! :D

This is a great forum Brian, sorry Dave, we need more folk like you;

***cough***

"I dont hold gruges, but if you disagreed with me in the past, well, F*** you!" - Always a winner that!

Why it was never included in the book "Winning Friends and Influencing People" I'll never know....

"I find it rather difficult to be so forthcoming. Hence the 7 year delay". - There's no point rushing anything.

Anyway, most folk are off on a Bush Moot or summat, so it'll be quiet here till Monday...

fat chance.... you're still here...

hahahaaaa.

Someone's gotta keep the server from going into hibernation mode with the usual knifey bling/tarp/daysack fetishists being away.

This site is so quiet as a result, you'd think they'd held the moot at Brigadoon...

Hello Miyagi. I have a numnber of friends in New Zealand.
I hope you dont mind me saying so, but, I think your country is possibly the most beautiful country in the world.

There are many things that interest me about NZ, those eagles that used to exist when the moaris first arrived for one!

My god! how lucky are you??!! To live in such a country?

Whats your comment on that mate? I would love to hear the locals opinion?

Amazing Country you live in, you jammy sod.

I hope you and you yours are alll well my friend.

[Hey you never know, I may visit you some day...]

Im pretty SURE, when, we met, you would be as nice to me as I would be to you mate.

Stay Well Buddy.

I wouldn't get too excited, you are a few thousand clicks from his actual location. Hadrian had the right idea. It should have been taller and built to last though.

Dave;

As Lao Tzu (Sonshi in Japan) in your signature said "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."

Or, you could always get the train at Carlsile or Morpeth, and hop over the Border, it'd be far easier...

The Bible tells us that God created the World and put his feet up on the 7th Day,

Unfortunately, he left the Blueprint lying unattended on his desk on his day off,

which is why some parts of the world (like New Zealand) look almost as beautiful as Scotland. :D:You_Rock_

Wotcha Dave - Beards are for real men.

Sympathies on the the whole sickness thing. Had three sets of airway surgery (so far), so, whilst nothing similar to yours, I can empathise.

However, alcohol is a great analgesic :)

Im sure Jonathan will have more than enough character to refrain, from posting comments in response to any trollish behaviour, based on his background.

I do try, but sometimes the urge can get too great. Genius has it's flaws.

Rewinding for a moment...

Hello Miyagi. I have a numnber of friends in New Zealand.

As do I.

I hope you dont mind me saying so, but, I think your country is possibly the most beautiful country in the world.

No possibly about it.

There are many things that interest me about NZ, those eagles that used to exist when the moaris first arrived for one!

Well, the Maoris are well known for eating things to extinction.

My god! how lucky are you??!! To live in such a country?

Whats your comment on that mate? I would love to hear the locals opinion?

Amazing Country you live in, you jammy sod.

I hope you and you yours are alll well my friend.

[Hey you never know, I may visit you some day...]

Stay Well Buddy.

You remind me of an old friend we used to call "El Presidente", but hey;

For a' that, an' a' that, It's coming yet for a' that,
That Man to Man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that. :D

During my i--t----n, I was taught to be cautious...:D

I think Miyagi, is very probably a great bloke to spend some time with.

BR, I am at the moment, rather, lacking of things to do, and would be happy to meet up with you. If you have a day or so free. You too Jonathan.

Whether a skill sharing exercise, or a jovial meet. [I could offer something i Am sure]
