Courageous Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 That was a lovely endorsement to myself for tipping your 'likes' to a 1000, well deserved to you. Looks like a good party was had by the 'power tools', the chisels obviously don't know how to have a good time. How did celebrate this non-event?

Bandsaw Steve Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hey! Check this out Couageous - you also got me to 10 pages in one thread. The Mig 15 only ran to nine pages so this is another ‘Britmodeller ‘personal best’ for me! I miight have to celebrate by actually doing some modelling - on the other hand, laziness has been a hallmark of this thread, so there’s probably no Need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Should I worry about feeding your forum habit, I don't want this to go to your head, you'll get all dizzy and make mistakes. I don't think laziness came into, you have reworked your workshop for a start, and now all the tools can see each other and have a good chat about what you may or may not being right. I haven't worked with wood since my school years, a table and don't intend to relearn lost techniques. I do have a few subs that will need to be scratch built but it'll have to use other mediums besides wood, mmm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike chap in Monty Python and the Holy Grail who was turned into a newt by the witch, it doesn't seem to be getting any better in our cases. I should also warn the it seems to be contagious as Mrs Martian now insists on being called the Martianess. Martian 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 There's nowt so great about turning into something. Once I was walking along the street and I turned into a bar. Boom-boom, one in a row! Every joke a Maserati! I thought this was supposed to be about teeth submarines anyway. Best, Jason 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Didn't I start calling you Martian while you were doing something like the Haunebu (or summit)? Everyone else started doing it too, so you asked me to change your handle. Sound about right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that for the second year running you managed to avoid my blurglecruncheon at Telford. Mind you, I suppose I was easy to spot in time to run and hide!

Might have been, Melchie challenged me to come as myself and then came up with some lame excuse about having the wrong uniform back from the cleaners or something. Mind you he ws forced to drink a bottle of Martian poo as a forfeit. Martian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Goodness me! A visit from Mars, ‘Mike the Mod’ and General Melchett himself! 😮. Britmodeller has bought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it - I thank you all. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albergman Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Well now, then, there! Congrats on drawing some of us to your project more than 11 thousand times! Quite an accomplishment especially when i get here once again to find you and your friends seem to have lost your collective minds. Feel like I've wandered into a Blackadder/Monty Python convention. I'll just get my coat and slip out this side door. Will normal programming return one day? Frank 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes us three look positively sane, well, with possible exception of Mike as he presides over the colossal box of frogs that is BM.
