Since you are all here, in what manner would you like to be addressed? As Brittons, British Subjects...what is the correct method of address?

Isn't that one of the great things about this hobby? There's never any trouble making a wish list. When I was actively in HO, I always had a list, and when people asked me what I wanted it was easy. In the hiatus between that and GR, there was really nothing I wanted, and I'm sure I was a pretty frustrating relative at gift time.

ECHOS FROM THE REALLY DEEP SOUTH.

1/ What is this subject about, I can't seem to quite understand where we are up to.

2/ I could have still been a POM but I think my great great great maternal grandfather may have done sonmething wrong and my father had too much to drink one night in Glasgow, which I do not think is anything unique.

3/ You may all be luxuriating in the cold weather over there, but feel for us summer is nearly here and its 32 deg cel at only 9.30 AM, and it will get worse.

4/ Joe what about putting a picture of the Aussie flag up I bet you stuff it up asnd put up a Kiwi fllag, God bless the Southern Cross.

5/ Did yoy guys know we have had a disater on the Kawana Island Tropical Railway, working in our area 3, span number seven on our viaduct slipped and 6 little people were killed, you may also be able to cover that Joe.

Regards Ian

6/ Oh and I forgot who's birthday is it and why?

[Anonymous]

7/ This is the last bit I promise; the only real item on every ones wish list is too have more money to spend on our layouts.

Thast it. fr sure.

We downunders also represent a small proportion of the Garden Railway nuts.
But at least we "have a go" on the Forum.
I have noticed there is a lot of window shoppers on the Forum.
For the record I live in Canberra the Nation's Capital and also the highest city in Australia. Lived here for 24 years.
All the best
Gary.

it seems that we have a good disbursion from the English Speaking nations in this forum...

Numerous Brittons, Aussies, Candians and Americans (dare I say Yanks); but there are many prominent people of New Zealand and one or two South Africans. I recall, and I am not the final authority on this, there have been a handful of Dutch, German and French contributions here.

All in all, I enjoy my international communitcations with you all and value it. I sometimes quote some of your comments to my 8th Grade history students.

By Gosh, it is I who will apologize...I didn't mean to sound offended. That is the problem with written words...they sometimes lose the emotion intended. I took no offense...and ask for understanding.

Capt J.E. Carrales, CAP

[aljay]

[:D] No need ........No offense was given, I just love to kid around with typo's Thyats just us CANDIANS, always a sense of humor.......I understand and no apology is necess. Capt. Keep up the good work I always enjoy your postings.

Joe, well done mate you got the flags right and i'm proud of you!

Gary; what do you mean by the highest city in Australia, is it because there is so much hot air down there, from all the polittians that the place is going to float away.

We really haven't given our respective polititions proper workout but I bet ours are just about the worst in the world, thats because they get such bad pay and even then they are not worth it.

Why are polititiions like bananas?



They hang out in bunches
They're yellow through and through.
There is not a straight one amongst them.

Hi Capt Carrales
I think the flags say it all not sure what the bottom one is, broken link
now if we could agree on the one brand of the English language
as well as the union jack in the flag[:D].
We could then get on with the serious business of enjoying and sharing our hobby.
And leave the politics to the[:o)]'s we vote for every 4 years or so[:D]
