Oh well, I suppose it was me that said I'd leave this thread open for another 48 hours :exclam:exclam

Didn't expect all this sort of comment "added" to the discussion though. I'm away for 36 hours and there's nearly two pages if bulls**it added :exclam:exclam :roll::roll::roll: :mutley:mutley

What a cracking forum. :thumbs:thumbs:thumbs

We seem to thrive on the stuff Jeff.  :mutley

It looks like we can forget about deleting posts judging by the results of the poll.

At one stage I thought it was made for stripping paint off plastic loco bodies, but it turned out to be much too weak for that.

Is this " Colony bashing " ?

I think discretion had better be the better part of valour for now.

The easiest way John is to just ignore then, they do not know what they are missing out on.:exclam
One day, they will realise the errors of their ways & beg for slabs of Fosters to be sent to them :mutley

Careful guys or I'll mention the cricket…..anyway, it's not just Fosters, all cold fizzy beers fall into the same category.

Having read this thread again, I must say my views have changed.  I hadn't thought that threads may end up as text books and that would remove the very attraction of the forum in the first place.

I think the cabbage water helps at the other end John !!  My Dad always drank a mug of it during winter when cabbage was king - he lived to be 58 so I no longer drink it  !!!!!

I have a few bottles here which require my attention before I am no longer permitted such luxuries.  For the time being at any rate.

:hmm Now is it wine good for the soul or the spirit? I enjoy baking and cooking, particularly using the Floydian method ……. a glass of red wine helps the recipes although the Bishop's Punch for the family get together yesterday, with its red wine and brandy left me with a slight hangover. Mixing with statins is perhaps not a good idea! :thud

I remember an old Any Capp cartoon, Rick where while in hospital he has a drip fitted with beer! :mutleyMaybe your hospital will have a Foster's Therapy. :Happy:cheers

I can see both the point for and against this suggestion.  There are indeed many posts that may be just a smiley or "well don" but to remove those would, IMHO, detract from the friendly "over a pint" chatter that makes this forum what it is.

Certainly some posts being remved would make absolutely no difference to the thread but where to draw the line ?  As Bob says, the work load in doing so is huge - is it really necessary.

I wouldn't want a "text book" type thread, as MikeC put it so well,  that's not, to me, what this form is about.  There are plenty of text books around dealing with "instructing" on railway modelling.

As bandwidth isn't a problem, reading the threads as they stand immediately sets one at ease - you learn something, you have a smile at the "banter" and feel "involved".

I'm voting to leave well alone - but, like Mike, I'm not telling others what to do.  It's just my personal preference.

I agree with Peter Mac, why fix something that isn't broke, the banter, jokes and other forums/threads should remain complete otherwise the site will lose it's unique character and continuity, that includes the humour forum and the birthday threads.  What's with this mania for deleting threads anyway?

I don't think you have anything to worry about BM as it looks as if things are going to stay exactly as they are.(Sigh of relief from the Fat Controller)
