Offensive posts nb

Robin, it seems to me the Forum is just like real life, plenty of people to p*ss one off. We all usually manage to put up with the anoying people well enough to get by. It is surely not enough to check out of life, so why check out of the forum?
Besides we need a few normal people here to conterbalance the wilder and more bizzare postings of some folk (mentioning no names Jimi!).
All IMHO of course.
All the best which ever you choose.

If nothing else, you got me to add a bit more to my profile. Not giving a surname yet, and there's a good reason for that. Not fantastically exciting, just that I've met one of the members of the mobo board, and don't like him very much. If I'm around for a while, and meet some of you, you'll get my whole name.

Re: It\'s my ball

and I'm off home then.

As long as there's been a board here somebody has been in high dudgeon. Somebody has been stomping off never to return. Many do return and good on them.

This is an impersonal medium. So why oh why do so many people take it personally?

Sticks and stones etc. etc.

If you want a rule for this board try thinking "would I say this to a short scarred man in a Glagow pub, If the answer is no perhaps a bit of editing is required.

I'd got you down as a man who could give it out as well as take it so why quit now?

Re: Robin

Hello Robin

Hopefully after all that has happened, apologies & all, you will reconsider stayin with this forum.
I dont think i have personally communicated with you but i certainly have read your posts and.....be a shame to not have your input anymore.
Probably sounds condesending considering i have only been registered for a few weeks but hey, its still valuable experience that would be lost if you left.

Anyway, this should cheer you up!



At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, 'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

-For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

-Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

-Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.

-Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

-Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would only run on only five percent of the roads.

-The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.

-The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.

-Occasionally, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you: simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

-Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

-You'd have to press the 'Start button' to turn the engine off. "


Regards,

Simon

Wild & bizarre indeed! Whilst Robin is off nursing his wrath I've often wondered if his missus is called Marion? BigNick is actually Will Scarlett,Claysie Friar Tuck and Badger is the Sheriff of Nottingham ..
