TAC did you see that mine and another members comments about Heir Pluta's own comments about how Marklin screwed the pooch and lost LGB molds to Kader were removed? ...for being "potentially inflamatory" I was told. OK its not my forum but its a little disturbing to see them walking on egg shells around Newquida still.

Besides I already got one strip against me for posting a funny Robot Chicken video in an OT Star Wars thread, that even tho had been language bleeped for good moral folks, was still considered offensive enough for me to garner a strike…alittle thin skinned IMHO.

When I get my Thomas/Percy surgurical face-ectomy going I’ll have to take some interesting pictures. :open_mouth: :lol:


Victor - it seems to me that if you are home-grown red-box fondler who has never left the end of the street you live in, view the advent of voting for women with suspicion and believe that the earth might still be somewhat flat, well, you’ll fit in there real well.

But if, like me, you are

a. a furriner,

b. the owner of more than one gauge of models,

c. a traveller around the place - never mind how big it is, but you have to have actually spoken to a person whose native language is not English, in a country were YOU are the furriner,

d. basing your posted comments on many years of doing, rather than reading

and e. lucky enough, as I am, to have friends and acquaintances literally world-wide

then you are bound to have a hard time on even this new and open-minded forum.

A sense of humour is also something that seems to be regarded with a degree of suspicion, too, I’ve noted. Every one of my posts that were deleted were actually pretty funny.

Best

Since when has the World ceased to be flat…If it wasn’t flat, all your trains would roll off the table…

The world isn't flat??? When did that happen? I suppose that next, you will tell me that man has been to the Moon and back. SteveF, Charter Member of the Flat Earth Society.

Yeah, that sure puzzled me, too. They don’t seem to be doing “funny” all that well anymore, pity isn’t it?

Sounds like you are all wasting your time over there.

Nope I think the operative word here is "G-scale MAD" hah lol The Regal

p.s. I signed up for the new site and started getting emails from “The Mistress” funny name huh! Then they started asking for donations for a present or something, and that is where I jumped off the train, and don’t visit much there!!

When they didn’t let me look at their forums without joining, I left real quick.

Wellllll, IMHO most of the participants on here know the difference between scale, as in “G scale”, and gauge (even if they have trouble spelling “gauge” correctly). The “MAD” part of the former site was not too far fetched, either.

BTW who was to get the “present” or whatever? What a concept! :lol: :lol:

Well H J as usual you missed the whole point of the post!! Rivet Rivet!! Regal

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the correct American spelling of gage, is gage.

The last I looked, HJ, I found Canada in the Americas.

The Oxford Dictionary would not prevaricate, would they?

:lol: :slight_smile: :lol:

You really think so, do you? :P :P :lol: I especially liked the part of "The Mistress". Another one of those distinguishing expressions, just like MAD.

Yeah but “The Gage Canadian Dictionary” spells it as “gauge”, good enough for me, North of the Border.

Yes, but any name containing ‘Oxford’ smacks of ‘Limey’ (aka UK). The good ole US Miriam Webster dictionary states ‘Gauge’ is the main spelling and ‘Gage’ is a variant spelling. Soooooo…

Limey - of Great Britain origin (as in my grandfather was born in Stoke on Trent).

BOB C.

Gauge it will be for me, along with Plough, Colour, and Aluminium. I will also try to use, There, Their, and They’re, at the appropriate times. I also like Aerodrome, and Telephone; then there is Too, Two, and To…but then I take pride in trying to use good spelling, and even while making my many mistakes; I try to promote the old fashioned respect for myself, and others, in my email use. Are we so much in a rush these days, that we have to give up good writing skills, and self respect ?
