    Wise words from a drunk man......

    Although Im young and stupid, I can see where Paul is coming from. Fingers crossed so do the egos.....
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Not quite as old as me, I'll warrant Daleks in B&W most certainly but what about Quatermass in B&W??? When they discovered the alien spaceship in Quatermass and the Pit, I couldn't see anything as my jersey was pulled right over my head

    Sigh.....

    I remember jersey's. Not like the machined thin useless thngs they have now, but the ones my Nana made. With wool almost straight from the sheep. Those things were so thick you could go out in a blizzard with just one of those on and stay warm!
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    That’s true too, my nana did the same thing. We had the odd black sheep on the farm, we shore them, washed the wool, combed it, and nana spun and knitted the jersey. I still have a few of those today, great on the bike. Now, those are real jerseys.

    Lately, this site and the mods have ahad a hammering. A hammering from the young and rash of voice. My advice? Pull your heads in, bury your personal feelings and give thanks to the people that make this thing called KB happen!
    Now now Paul... ya not calling me old now are ya, cos I remember B&W and the Dr gave me the shits too, was that sound track I think.

    Re: the site, The trouble makers here will never pull their heads in, the gutless will still abuse and swear at other users from the anonymity and safety of their monitor and deliberately send decent threads off topic, yes sometimes I wind these KBer's up where as I should just shut up, but fik em they don't scare me.
    Now unfortunately some of the problem lies with the Boss, as from what I know hes not into sensorship, and as hes the boss so be it, but if some members were shut down for good then the likes of you Paul wouln't find ya self losing interest.
    cheers DD

    A guy down our street was a radio ham and built his own TV set and when the atmospheric conditions were right he could pick up a ghosted picture from Australia, used to have a whole street full of kids in his radio shack. I am so old I was a milk monitor at school, got the milk while it was still cold before the sun got at it
    Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill

    Hey, I was a milk monitor too. Used to get it straight out of the little shed when the truck delivered it, with the condensation stil over the bottles. Hated it once it had gotten all warm sitting in a classroom for hours.

    *AND* I was an inkwell monitor too.Used to fill the inkwells in the desks from the big inkjug in the cupboard each morning . Now *thats* old.

    We used to dream of getting to the milk while it was still cold...never did tho. Put me off milk for life, that did.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I'm too busy to read all the threads and had been away on a 2 week holiday devoid of computers and TV so hadn't caught up with much. What I have read, if I think its crap I don't worry about it, so people can say what they like as far as I'm concerned so I'm not into censorship either.

    Enjoy your biking team, that's what I do, even though I'm slightly older than Paul, I think.

    Enjoy the site and the communication it brings - have fun!
    Cheers

    Merv

    Ah , now THAT'S the crucial test. God Save the Queen ? or God Save the King

    And didn't we get sick of seeing that coronation film over and over again!

    EDIT: And,first prize to anyone here who has sworn "to bear true and faithful allegiance to his Gracious Majesty King George"
