Hehe, the man has always been able to rattle the prole's cage in order to ring-fence their profit margins - same thing happened here with Cromwell. The trick is to get the proles to be proud of it despite the benefits of 20/20 hindsight.
Are you sure that you are not Limerick Man?
Cranky, did you invite Lim and Helmet? I'd hat to lose those guys. _________________ Ditch your car.

Not directly... but I can send a PM. Lim was open to a move last time we brought it up... which was reassuring considering his mod status. Helmut only checks in very spasmodically now due to his new job. I'll send them a PM. But I feel like I've written about 100 posts over the last few days explaining the move... it's hard to muster up the energy to do it all again. Maybe just a heads-up PM and refer to a "Moving On" thread.

Good to see you got the message and made it. We're trying to make our escape as complicated as possible so some of the CF detritus find it hard to track us down...
I don't even know how it got started...something came up just by the by about ferns...and then when an argument got going, sometimes someone would just throw that fern pic in there to lighten it up...The Fern of Peace...
An entire thread once existed involving ferns...it has a life of its own.
So...it just makes us feel at home...and anytime we can throw it into a conversation we do. It's goofy.
Now I understand ferns. I don't read the whole FID. Usually I just skim the last page or two. I missed out on what was up with the ferns.
Where the f' have you been Bro? That went on for days of entertainment. Geez, you act like you have a life or something.

It'll sort it's-self out. The board was created by fugees from the BBC website and they took in a load of us who were wandering the net after the Eurosport board went tits-up.
Like that speaking statue in New York harbour says;
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me"

Woo-whooo, it's a party now.
Tell me about is sistah (I assume you're a chick with your screen name ) . . . geez, I feel so displaced and lost . . . and confused . . . and spread too thin . . . and . . . . well, anyway. Glad you were able to keep up.
Hey Cardinal and others... really like your sense of humour... this place almost feels like home already.
I checked out CF and as you'd say in the colonies - back atcha!
I am not sure if this has hit the net yet, but:
LOL - how do you expect to be allowed to take part in the commonwealth games with notions like that!?
Ok, if you stop talking about this independence nonsense, we'll forget this ever happened ok? Just put the guns down and we'll have some tea and cake. _________________ =====================================

Okay, tell me something, miss Pacific northeast....where'd you get this "y'all" thing from...you hail from down south? _________________ Some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

That is friggin' funny.
Just so ya know Chewy, to put the level of humor in perspective, I occasionally share funny posts with my witty hubby. He's a tough sell though, since these are cycling forums.
Well, I just shared this one with him and he said "now that's f'n funny!
