The BIG one - I've been shot

Regular readers will remember that I promised you all a BIG one.



At last I've managed to sum up the courage to publish this photo. Some say you will need a sick bag to view this one - and they are just the kind ones! Here it is

Having asked you to send in your various captions after I've posted photos of our members (and visitors) I must now stand in the firing line myself. So this is the next 'caption competition'.



I know I probably don't have to tell you that you can be a rude as you like. I'll publish the ones that are suitable for general consumption with the final one being posted to the site. This time the decision is



*mine*

P.S. Don't forget that Broke Brick Mountain and The Ashley, Danville and Deanstown layouts are at Firle Village hall, East Sussex on Monday 25th August (which just happens to be my birthday!!)


Who the f*ck are you and what has this crap to do with transport?

Well it's a moving picture - in some ways.

More than that, he's a taxi driver licensed for London and Brighton, and lives in Tarring, West Sussex, England

Not many people can say that.

"Steve Firth"

Nice language Steve. Was it necessary?

Oh, probably about as necessary as your attempt to play net-nanny.

This is a group about ........................... Oh, never mind, there's morons and people who can't express themselves without the use of profanity everywhere. Why not here?

This group as gone down hill anyway.

Mike is a taxi driver k*****ad ! i think thats transport isnt it?

Mike, is the kettle boiled much these days?

I think this has arisen because the OP posted not only to the model rail groups, where I assume he is a regular, but also to uk.railway and uk.transport.

Well, he is a taxi driver, so it is more nearly on topic in uk.transport than most of Doug's posts.

Having experienced similar comments & remarks about some of my posts on other groups & forums I was in two minds about getting involved in this but :-

1) Mike, I am sure, does not need me or anyone else to fight his corner for him

2) If you don't like Mike and / or his posts why read them ? He is however a regular contributor to the group.

3) To me Mikes posts and his website take a slightly different slant on the 'normal' model rail site. Different in a good way.

4) His posts are a bit of harmless fun .... the man has a sense of humour ..... not to some peoples liking but !

5) Do the people think for one moment their use of profanity will stop Mike posting in the future ?

PS Happy 21st Birthday for the 25th Mike :-)

How do I turn this bloody thing off?

Wow, look at this weird train.

Indeed, two separate groups. You're in the first one.

I'll stand on the side of D H Lawrence, James Joyce and Shakespeare. You can line up with Enid Blyton and your intellectual peers.

ObScenity: F*ck.

No he's not. Never seen him before. Nor you either.

"After a mix up with sugar while making the tea, Mike is only allowed remote access to the layout from a safe distance for his own protection."

Cheers Richard

And you REALLY believe you'll be remembered in 100 years time ? I think it's the context that matters, rather than just inserting them randomly to try and create an impression of butchness..

I don't give a f*ck.

Of course naming yourself after a drunken wifebeater isn't an attempt to create an impression of "butchness" is it?

He can't be the brightest of people though if he thinks that his pictures are going to draw anything but profanity when he cross posts to uk.transport.
