What I'm finding the greatest difficulty with is the fact that he constantly threatened to "pull" RWG as it was causing him "too much hassle" and he "didn't need it". He persistently complained that it presented more problems than it was worth and that he was "very much at risk" by continuing to run it. Furthermore all this was before his apparent "draft" difficulties. What has changed? I donated to the RWG watch compensation fund on a matter of justice and principle, so if he wants to repay me perhaps he can donate the money to the new RWG instead. My loyalty lies with this board and it's Admin. JTB

This site is ticking along nicely (and with an on board trading section) and we've never been out of business. JTB

Ken.........I'm not chasing prizes (Don't think I need the dosh ). Just thought I'd let the lads see what can be done with a little artistic licence and imagination! The record shows I carved the prose and did it my way! JTB

Okay........you'll slaughter me for making light of this. (Sorry in advance) But here's a play on an old favourite that I posted in that ex-place! (I do have some "real" stuff somewhere) My Way And now, the end is near And so I face the final posting My friend, I'll say it clear You wanna trade – get offshore hosting I've lived a year that's full I've travelled each and every forum But more, much more than this I won’t buy Corum Brequets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention Tag Heuer I had to do Swiss eta without exemption I planned each Panerai Each careful rep along at abay But more, much more than this I won’t use eeeeeeeeeeebay Yes, there were timexes, I'm sure you knew The occasional Swatch I owned up to But through it all, aye here’s the rub I never found the perfect sub The face too small, the crown guards tall Got ripped off my way In RWG, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of newb-bashing And now, this powermax I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say - not in a shy way 2000 posts – 6 worthwhile I did it my way For what is lemania, what has it got That all the others seem to have not Tweaking springs and balance wheels Are not the things that buy my meals The record shows my juxtapose I do it my………………………… way! JTB

Nice collection Ken ........but yeah a bloody dust down wouldn't have taken you long! JTB

Bravo for you. A pretender to Jetmid's throne perhaps? As it happens I didn't order the RWG watch - didn't like the look of it. Many respected "fools" as you put it, did however, and my support was/is given to them. It's enlightening that you "know the entire story" as I think "story" might be the operative word. Anyways........I'm past the point of caring now and for the record it took months and months to forget with nothing but silence from blade. His absence forced the issue. He was a non-person. We, in this place, cleaned up the mess. We made right by people, so I suppose some are "fools" twice over? I've donated $15 RWG to you. You now have $200 RWG. Difficult as it so obviously appears I suggest you try and have some fun when you visit here. Head off to the casino and blow your lot in a game of craps. Go on you know you want to. JTB

Yah got me there sport! Actually my Dad is a Londoner and unlike most of my countrymen, I will be supporting the sassenachs in this World Cup. I'll also give up a shout or two for the Aussies! JTB

I would say go for the Pepsi dial, due to it's distinct look. Okay size-wise it pales by comparison with your Pannies, but most other makes will anyway. However I do think the striking look of the pepsi GMT compensates for the size issue imho. JTB

The punchline of this is in the last two lines Ken. JTB

Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that! JTB

No it's honesty. Months and months of no communication from him and the duping of a large number of members out of $200 without a by your leave and then waltzing back in to take up again where he "thought" he left off does generate a feeling of disgust. (if that is indeed what you garnered from my statement) Therefore my kissing lips will not be near his butt in order that there is a clear passage for him to follow my original request! JTB

He can shove it where the sun don't shine! JTB

That was so ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-d. JTB

When I stare at this for the longest time........I see a sheep's head! Am I mad? JTB

I'd like all trace of me removed from the old place as I don't trust the situation. Jeff can you do this for me? JTB

Great..........can you post pictures of Ursula??? JTB PS..........Glad you all had a great time. Only sorry I couldn't make it but I'm off on my hols in a few days.

.............and $200 RWG to Two-Tone for getting it bang on! JTB

And I thought it said........."Who has the best sub?"... JTB

Naughty naughty! You could lose $500 for that! JTB

RWG just keeps on giving till it hurts! JTB

Thanks for the stats Admin..........we must be doing something right. Can someone tell me what it is? JTB

I'm 329...................woof!

DA VINCI CODE Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols: It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least three thousand years old! The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings. The President of the society pointed to first drawing and said: "This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem. You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil. The next drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them." Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that if a famine hit the earth and food didn't grow, they seek food from the sea. The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews. The audience applauded enthusiastically. Then a little old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said, "Idiots, Hebrew is read from right to left...... It says: 'Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That Chick
