A great new forum

Allegedly

[Sherried Malt]

Congratulations with a great new forum! Judging from the posters so far I'd say one cannot wish for a better company! I'm more than a little concerned about the lack of a "For Sale" forum though.......


.......and there's even an edit button

So it seems the answer to the "Things that need to be fixed" thread is a new forum!

[Sherried Malt]

Thanks for the welcome.

FI is probably off selling fake t-shirts outside Murrayfield as we speak.

Hello again Aidan. What's a Murrayfield?

[Nick Brown]

Murrayfield is the stadium where the Scottish rugby team plays its home fixtures - today they entertained the South Africans who are, I think, the World Champions.

Nick, at the risk of looking stupid and possibly missing the joke, how come the graphics in your signature never display? It was the same over on the Darkside. Am I the only person that can't see the images or do you really need to sort out your image

Yip, it was buy a 'Scots folk are great but a bit cleeky' (sponsored by Bank of Scotland) t-shirt and get a bottle of HP QotS free!

[Nick Brown]

The images don't open - if you are desperate to see them then you can click through to see them (CTRL+click on a Mac; right click on a PC) but they aren't worth it. They do, though, enable me to get a very good count of how many people look at my posts.

Aha! Found you!

Turn your back for a couple of days and everyone slips off and makes a new forum. Nice work Mark.

[C57]

Haha - a foodie!
I often wondered why these didnn't display!
Thanks for that explanation. They are worth looking at - face to a name etc!

Cheers!

Gosh, I would love to have been there today. With my oldest son, of course, who is a rugby nut.

Taking pictures of airline meals is a bad habit of mine. But the photo you get from the third box is not flattering. I don't photograph well, but if people want a face, then here's one:

If you have a habit of photographing airline meals - that is a bad habit.

But don't do yourself down - you don't photo any worse than me

Nick, sorry for being so curious - but what on earth is on the wall behind you?

[Nick Brown]

Car registration plates from the USA. I think they're great. The way an entire state can be summed up in a small picture and a pithy epithet. For example: Scenic Idaho - Famous Potatoes. Or Oklahoma is OK. Or You've Got a Friend in Pennsylvania. The other wall has black and white photos of Ireland, one from each province.

That's quite funny - Famous Potatoes; a claim to fame. Ireland is a country I'd like to visit someday (and Scotland of course)

Nick;
We call them "license plates" over here and Canadian ones are just as droll:
Ontario "Yours to discover"
Manitoba "Friendly Manitoba"
Quebec "Je me soviens" (We will remember)
Alberta "Wild Rose Country"
Saskatchewan "Land of living skies"
BC "Beautiful British Colombia"
Yukon "The Klondike"
NWT "Explore Canada's Arctic" (neat as it's in the shape of a polar bear)
Nunavut also uses "Explore Canada's Arctic" and the bear shape
Newfoundland and Labrador "A world of Difference"
PEI "Birthplace of Confederation"
Nova Scotia "Canada's ocean playground"
New/Nouveau Brunswick (No spiffy saying of any sort, but it is the only bilingual one)

So this is where everyone is.....

Got a PM on the other forum from Leither this morning, inviting me over to here. So here I am.

Good job Mark! I'll certainly stick around and post when I can.

[C57]

Good to see you FB! Welcome aboard!

[Nick Brown]

Hallo Fishboy!

I hope you weren't as upset by the PM inviting you to join as some members at WM seem to have been.

According to Matt.

[fishboy]

Thanks for the welcome! It's like coming back home!!

The PM didn't upset me at all! An invitation is surely just that - either accept or decline as you see fit. No need to go running to the Mods (if that's what happened).

Happy to be here!!

Welcome to this great new forum,fishboy.

[Crieftan]

I got banned so here is where I need to be now

I tried to resign but they seem unable to take my name off! I get the distinct and heady whiff of bulls**t!
This seems like a good place to be. A very good place.

Aye lad, reeeeet grand!

[fishboy]

I just visited the "other place" for the first time in a couple of days (I'm sorry - a moment of weakness - I'll try not to let it happen again!!), and noticed that the individual members post counts have disappeared......

Has there been any explanation for this? I could obviously post this on the "other place" but any questioning of the admin of that forum appears to lead to severe chastisement.
