Why now can’t I get the image out of my mind of a bunch of loser guys all standing around just beyond the sign. :lol:They’re Welsh of course… The Penrith identifier is plainly visible, and I knew darned well all along where it is located. But my posts have been about the Welsh. This has gone on long enough, so maybe it’s time I brought you up to speed. You see, the Welsh are funny people… That sign, if only it were spelled impossibly, is exactly the sort of thing you’d expect from the Welsh… Half Celtic, half Hobbit, you see. The Welsh are funny people, you really have to meet one for yourself… You’ll find a bunch of them standing around just beyond the sign…
Not sure if I related this earlier on (sometime between 2003 and now). Anyway at one of my customers (in my previous life) they had an interesting situation in the plant office, a whole bunch of the Island people (aka UK) and one token German guy. A brave German guy! In prominent location above his desk he had the following sign. “There are four tribes inhabiting the British Isles, The Scots, who keep the Sabbath and anything else they can get their hands on. The Welsh, who pray upon their knees and prey upon their neighbours. The Irish, who don’t know what they want, but are perfectly willing to die for it. And last the English, who consider themselves a race of selfmade men, thereby absolving the Almighty of a dreadful responsibility.” Thirty years later I remember as if it were yesterday.
HJ we Irish have an old joke, Why did God create alcohol? So the Irish wouldn’t conquer the World!

Hooray, you’ve made me close yet another thread. Pat yourselves on the back.
Things are out of hand, and what might be seen as harmless poking of fun is, in reality, over the line. There are several people who insist on pushing the limits of what is acceptable to post and what is not acceptable to post on this site. I thought the guidelines are fairly clear. The rules are pretty clear. Talk trains, the occasional (And I mean occasional) off topic thread is fine, and don’t be a jerk. I don’t need sea-lawyers reading that sentence and saying “but you didn’t say XYZ”. They’re simple because I’m assuming you’re all adults and can understand what I mean.
There is a growing belief, that I’ve seen voiced on other sites, and is starting to happen here, along the lines of “Its a public website, I can post what I want”. If you believe that, please, don’t bother coming back to LSC. This is NOT a public website. Its open to the public, but its MY website. I’ve been saying it for almost 12 years now. Consider this an extension of my living room. You can come in, have fun, interact with everyone, share stories, pictures, etc. You start acting out of line, you’ll be asked to throttle it back. You continue, I’m going to ask you to leave.
In the 12 years I’ve run LSC, I’ve banned exactly TWO members for this kind of behaviour. I don’t like doing it. But the web allows people to act differently, and outside the bounds of “polite behaviour” that you would do when meeting people face to face.
If you have a problem with this, you’re free to email me.
