Actually I can't remember the last time I did an OHJ

Pretty much everyone I've come across recently seems to join by whatever is easiest for them - me included - and unless an airfield *specifically requests* an OHJ I'd rather joing on a base / downwind etc....
I agree the "deadside" or "crosswind" join, which is half an OHJ is useful if approaching from the deadside and I'd always do this, but wouldn't fanny about doing a proper OHJ which would require crossing the airfield twice and tons of messing around in the most dangerous bit of airspace. I'd do an OHJ if there is no person on the radio or the airfield is closed though unless someone else was on frequency to tell me the weather / prefered runway etc.......
