Ha! What a funny thread. Merry Christmas to you PompeyPaul and to everyone else here.
My 'listing' is a little off mark but funny nonetheless. I will confess to liking my toys though!!!!
It is easy to gain an image of a person you have never met through interpretation/misinterpretation of the written word. Just the same as it easy to assume you are under attack through a misreading of others attempts at humour. The flyer forums maybe cliquey but that is because generally everyone does know everyone else and with the odd exception the postings do not degenerate to a personal level as they tend to do on here.
I have met many of the posters on here and without exception the real person verse the assumed persona has been very different. Even Chilli who often comes across as the grumpiest man alive is a pleasure to spend time with and not short on humour!
Notwithstanding this is an interesting forum that once in awhile offers insightful advice.
So as I said wishing all a very merry Christmas.
