You've tried it? Fucking great fun. There's bits of it that are a lot
like flying, only cheaper.

 

If people want to read what I write, they will. If they don't, I'm not
overly fussed. I'm not here to create the new revolution. Having these
strict "YOU WILL NOT TOP POST" or rules like that just seems a waste
of time to me. I prefer bottom posting and I prefer the whole thread
there. So sue me. I thought the interwebs were a place for free
speech. That to me includes free formatting. So no. I will not be told
how to format my posts. If you don't like them, killfile me or just
don't read them. It isn't that hard . . .

 

Going back to the original point of this thread. (And I'm fucked if I
am going to search 300 posts to see whether I am doing a Ginge)

Thought it was a nice shove up the media and the US media in
particular

 

Hold on to that rattle, no-one's telling you how to do anything. They
are politely pointing out that your posting style will dissuade many
people from reading your posts, even assuming the content merits it.
What you do about it is indeed entirely up to you.

 

Or works at UEA.

For those people I know who work at UEA.

 

In general they'll then see the entire thread, so by the time they
read your post they'll have only just read those leading up to it.
Leaving quoted text in place is usually intended simply to ensure that
your own points are taken in the correct context, not to provide the
reader with the entire discussion in one go.

Only if you read a single post in complete isolation. And for anyone
using a haklf-decent threaded newsreader this is a piece of piss
anyway.

As others have implied, you'll be judged on your posting style, and
many people may just choose to ignore you if your posts make it
difficult to read.

 

Pretty much what a mate of mine with a PPL feels.

I did about 6 hours of PPL training, got to the stage where I could
take off, do a circuit and land. That was enough for me to say 'OK, I
can do that now, no point in doing any more".

 

It's rather why I'm not hugely keen on doing one. Unless I could afford
my own plane and actually use it IYSWIM.

Bollocks, do they.

What about that Katie Price getting married again, eh?

 

I know what you mean.
I always wanted to go somewhere or do something, which I was limited by
not owning the aircraft I was flying and the limitations on the aircraft
hire conditions.

It was more fun flying to and from work in Frieburg from Manston in a
mates Cessna on the few occasions I did it.

 

Hmm I learned to dive for a porpoise, the taking of crustaceans from the bay
at the end of the garden (burp) and it's handy for frigging about under
yachts, but it was a cold weary business. I don't understand the likes of
Keef being so enthusiastic about the coast around the IoM. But (there is a
but) you should try scuba on the reefs somewhere like St Lucia, which is on
a volcanic slope. If you have any interest in the natural world, well, it's
truly stunning. I'm sure F would be amazed too. The water is warm. There is
the added thrill of hovering over a 50deg slope that decends a 1000m or more
if you so choose.

 

Aye the parachute club in Crieff had 2 planes and the potential of endless
hours hauling folk up, if one so chose. But flying your average small prop
plane is about as interesting as driving a mondeo on a motorway. I'm sure
piloting a passenger jet is the same.

I'm prepared to admit however that a Red Bull type thing or a fast jet would
be another matter.

 

I'll make two observations.

The barrier reef, from what I've seen in film, isn't clinging to the side of
a FOAD volcano and hanging over a few miles deep of water.

As we already knew from you foodie comments, you have no sole.

 

You should probably have done 6 months of training somewhere murky and
cold so you would appreciate it more.

I have a similar problem: the first time I went snorkelling was in
(off?) Gozo. Apparently this means I'm spoilt.

Z-listertastic!

 

If you go for a walk in the countryside, do you go:

"Oh look, a tree"

"Oh look, some birds"

"And some more trees..."

If so, why did you bother taking the (pretty good) photos of "scenery"
on your trip to Scotland last year?
