I miss PMC :(


Yeah, whatever happened to that guy?

And yes, this was pretty tame compared to some of the stuff of that era. :D

Fun times.


Still, one for entering into the order of the sock scrolls...

Tunure !!! Degree !!! I think there's been a slight misunderstanding here... :o


Clearly :)

Quote
When I say I went to Oxford, I only meant that I went there to deliver some computer equipment when I worked for Ferranti, Me and old Reg the van driver had to deliver some crates of gawd knows what as we weren't allowed to open them and anywhere we went with such consignments we were always escorted my two MPs (Military Police).

Anyway back then I was into Ska (The Specials & Madness etc...) and used to wear these big Doc Martins and bleached denims & braces and of course the obligatory skinhead.


My brother was like the biggest Madness fan ever back in the 80's. I rather like them myself.

Quote
Trouble was when we were guided to the entrance of the old building where the stuff was to be delivered these two old Professor types came out one dressed in a white lab coat and the other in what looked like a batman cloak, they stared at me and I stared at them then one of them went over to the MPs and said something.


Probably a don. You know, mafia...

Quote
One of the MPs came over to me and told me to get back in the van and he would help old Reg move the crates inside. Never found out what was actually said, but that was my time at Oxford, short but memorable...

(It was a ruddy 14 hour drive there and nearly 20 coming back cos old Reg kept nodding off...:) )


It's a nice place to visit, but was sort of surreal living there. It was only for a year though. 1993, same year I got my A1200 :)

Quote
(PS: I did get an A+ in my O'level Woodwork though... hence the reason I became a brickie... :))

I am not accusing anyone of flaming. I am saying that whilst has happened may be the case threads, my own experience of posing questions etc. has been met fairly positive and helpful replies.


Good catch :D

Ban me or whatever but the last 5 post are ridiculous.

Ban you for what, exactly? Look, it isn't your fault that you don't share our odd sense of humour.

You can't save them all, doc. You did your best, nobody can say otherwise, his humour was just bleeding out all over the floor as fast as you could pump it in.

Ok, record the time of death...2:05am GMT...

Right, drink? :drink:

Huh... That is fun with you hobby?


It's called having a laugh with your like-minded amiga friends online. As long as no rules are broken, what's the big deal?

This subject is about the community and what happened to it. Well, for those of us that rode out the all the stupid fighting and bickering, one thing we have in common is not to take things too seriously.

Wait a minute. I thought you bled out...

OMG!

ZOMBIE!

Shouldn't you be banned?
Problem?

That would fall within the purview of your conundrums of forum politics :)
