Nice one CLag - another classic ;D. Serious respect my good fellow.
Have left a 'farewell' post on page 4 "Influence of Salmon Fishing Writers".
Had a great time here but, unfortunately, have had enough.
Regards to all.

Gentlemen - briefly (well, as brief as I can be ) - as you will see I intimated earlier on this thread that due to various tirade's aimed at myself and others that I no longer wished to contribute to this "friendly forum". This morning (Mothering Sunday) I switched on the pc (said I wouldn't contribute - never said I wouldn't log-in and look from time to time ) to find a barry load of posts (PM and public) asking that I "reconsider" my stance for a variety of reasons - a percentage of which were, although supportive, really quite vitriolic towards Wullie Gunn Global Moderator elect ?. It was never my intention to 'upset' the likes of Wullie, Macd (who told me to Get to F***k BTW - very eloquent Macd ), Sloggi, Springer etc and only ever 'answered back' when I felt their personal comments were unwarranted and, at times, impertinent to the point of rudeness. I have now had time to reconsider my position and look forward to continuing with my enjoyment of this forum (via contribution) and the benefits and obvious pleasure it gives to a wide range of members thus allowing for a healthy cross-section of opinion and debate. Hopefully, this will continue without the ever present 'time bomb' of ridicule and/or censorship exploding on us when we least expect it (excluding the member 'notipping' of course) . In true "San Fran '67" style (see the excellent post by the extremely talented CLag on the "Influences of Salmon Fishing Writers" thread) I would now like to publicly apologise to any of the above esteemed members for the obvious angst and upset that my posts on threads such as "Tips To Ghillies" and "Sunday Fishing" particularly, have caused them - why ? I don't know - and suggest that we ALL move on and forget the infantile attitudes of SOME to the benefit of ALL. Regarding my, and that of the vast majority of members, use of punctuation, speeling and style of writing generally......lets not even go there for fear of me going off on one . If, however, I or any other forum members continue to be ridiculed or feel belittled by ANY member then I think that WE have a duty to defend ourselves / others and be prepared to 'speak up' for those being spoken to in a manner that is tantamount to bullying . I, for one, shall continue to do this. No one likes a bully - yes?...........especially on a bloody fishing CHATROOM for god's sake !! "Banter" is great - rudeness is, quite frankly, unacceptable. We are all brothers of the 'angle' - let's talk fishing guy's - cos that's all I ever wanted to do - and if that means occasionally using punctuation out of context, expressing our opinion or developing our own creative muscles through writing ("style" of writing) then so be it. I, for one, am all for this and would hope that this would be encouraged by ALL forum members and for the 'authors' not to be subjected to needless ridicule or thinly veiled bullying.
Regards to all as always.

ps - I agree that scottyboy9nro would make an excellent Global Moderator one day and that we should 'groom' him for this future role as, now that his team have crashed out of 'Europe' in spectacular style (again), he will need to achieve his own personal 'goals' and develop his own obvious potential and charmingly eloquent "style" - even for a bluenose. ;D

Onwards - Upwards ;D

[sinkingtip]

Springer - more than happy to my 'guid freend'. Point taken and duly accepted.

Sinkingtip, I enjoy your style of writing as I have stated in the past it shows character, which is not a bad thing . But do you have to keep having a dig at every opportunity you get, you will only get people's backs up and before we know it world war 3 all over again. Lets all start anew .

To WG who also likes to have the last word, tit for tat just spoils a good debate .

To all who jumped on the bandwagon, you know who you are, it was an argument with Willie Gunn the man, nothing to do with him being a moderater, don't know why you felt the need to abuse his position like that.

And dont want to know

Anybody got any good jokes?

THE WIFE FROM HELL

A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, "I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir."

The driver says, "sorry, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating."

Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: "Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control."

As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?"

The wife smiles demurely and says, "You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did."

As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Dammit, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?"

The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic £75 fine."

The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket."

The wife says, "Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your
seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving."

And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??"

The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?"


"Only when he's been drinking."

Nice one ;D ;D ;D

Pelican walks into a bar.....orders a drink......barman says "why the long face?"

Hear about the dyslexic agnostic ? - spent his whole life wondering if there is a dog.

Edinburgh business man goes to Forfar for the first time on business. Looks for a 'hole in the wall' cash point - cant find one. Asks a local (nicky-tams + bridie in hand) "Excuse me sir, is there a TSB in Forfar ?". Local replies (after giving it some thought) "Ah ken theres twa F's and twa R's"

Q : What do you get if you pour boiling water on a Dundonian ?
A : A new flavour for pot noodles

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who supported me both openly and by PM. I will continue to post on this forum to further world peace and homeless puppies and kittens.

Whilst in London I met three ladies of the night, and I asked the first happy lady what she did, she said she specialised in sports stars.... plenty of action and plenty of money. The second happy lady said she specialised in politicians............ not so much action but plenty of money. The third glum looking lady admitted she specialised in anglers, why so glum? I asked, well it’s either too wet or too dry or too expensive

Respect Wullie - a good gag too ;D. Maybe we can start a thread on fishing jokes (seriously). Like Annan says "peace to all".

Will be wetting the first line of the year on the Tay this coming Wednesday . That's always providing the polar bears don't get there first. Bit chilly in this neck of the woods today. Last year wasn't too bad though.
