No need to be sorry Cat Eyes.
I aint gonna come on here though and wait till I have accumilated 2000 posts or something before I join the banter. If ya give it out, expect it back.
Ardnut, no you don't need 2000+ posts to be able to join in, but step back & look a sec'.
I haven't contributed much to this thread as though I'd love to go on the trip, this year I just can't commit due to stuff. Yella & Slob are doing a stirling job to try & pull it together & it's difficult enuff to get folks to put their lucre where their gob is without people popping up from nowhere & wanting in.
This is t'internet, it
is only typing & people come & go, stay or drift off. We're by & large virtual mates, tho' that is bit by bit changing & if someone pops up no-one knows **** about them & from time to time pillocks pop up, often after being banned from other sites & give it large then they should expect to get flamed. It's not being cliquey, but some idiots do join & try to spoil things, sometimes through ignorance, sometimes maliciously.
No-one's saying your here for anything other than the right reasons, but look at it, you jumped in with just a few posts saying "count me in" then go on about whether there's wimin going. Would you really shell out £100 immediately to secure a place, right now, in hard cash?
It's a bit like going in to a boozer you've never been in before shouting yer mouth off & hitting on all the wimin, you'll soon get a rightly deserved kicking. Christ, I read back over some of my early posts & I sounded a right starry eyed tit.
This IS the best Landy forum & I defy you to post a question that someone can't answer with authority & probably save you a good few quid into the bargain. yeah. everyone gives & takes stick, it's what stops it being like all the other stuffy ones.
Just chill a bit, take your time & treat people like they're actually in front of you. If you overstep the mark, accept it with good grace rather than just take the view that it doesn't matter cuz they can't see me. That's just like people behaving like arseholes in cars because they feel invulnerable (I changed a few of those opinions when I was riding motorbikes & people drove like idiots, risking my life. their attitudes changed when they'd been pulled over, were face to face & were asked for an apology!)
My two penn'orth. Here endeth the the lesson!
