Gutted, I was SOOOOO close, but jees-oh there are FAR to many Scottish Inventors, has anyone else ever invented anything? We are the muts nuts when it comes to invetions/discoveries, oh and engineering lol.

Let us not forget Whiskey, there is a reason why the yanks call it Scotch lol.

Question 3 could do with being multiple choice instead of a radio button, just my thoughts, as all three options would be good to be able to choose from.

I know that a VIP section is not a perfect alternative and I look forward to seeing what the mods and admin come up with, as they have always done well by us in the past.

The key to the VIP area idea is keeping it fresh, with specials and inticements for being there, with input or with the exceptionally informative posts or group buy's or whatever, anything every now and again to pique the intrest of the members.

I think that is a great idea. I have some things in the pipeline that I would be more than happy to share in a VIP area, and then later in the main forum.

If we have special runs on parts and things like that, then they can be posted in the VIP first to give those who are sustaining this place, a first option.

This may seem elitest to some of you, but just think, we aren't being secretive about it if you wanna be in on the special deals or first to see new info, then just stump up the LITTLE amount of cash that will help support the forum.

Say we have specials for VIP's, like happens at some of the other forums, and say the VIP's have a touch more input as to whats happening, or are notified first about things that are happening then that should be enough insentive for more people to pay up, not that they should need any more incentives.

As long as you can understand that a survey will make people answer what they think they should answer.

Unfortunately not always the case as some cheap gets have said no in the survey, or $15, so basically JUST over $1 a month for all of the information contained within this forum.

Personally having put what I consider to be a reasonable amount of time and effort into Some of my contributions, and KNOWING the time and effort that much more frequent posters than myself put into some of their contributions and the fantastic contributions made by what I would say is a senior membership. I think that this showing is absolutely PATHETIC.

Ans that is not even remotely taking into acount the amount of money YOU ALL save EVERYTIME you buy a watch, and all of the tremendous amounts of time the Admin and Mods put into running this place.

The fact that Thoma is shelling out to keep this place afloat is outrageous.

Personally, I call for a VIP area such as happens at TRC and RWI, and until the situation changes where more than 8% of you stingy bastards gets the cobwebs off your wallet, then I will not be posting anything like the pinned posts I have done in the past, and would love to see some others do the same.

This may seem detrimental to the theory of ths community if all of the members who take time and effort to make informative posts, withold that info until we can support ourselves, but drastic time call for drastic measures.

If I am the only one doing this then most of you wont give a [censored] and that's fair, cos who am i? I'm just another member, but at least I amn't a free loading pathetic excuse for a human being.

Playing once a week with some friends... always a lot of fun... don't like the online-gambling so much...

By the way: created my own poker-chips which are still in production

Nice any chance of getting a set? How Much?

Glasgow has better water.

RUBBISH, UTTER RUBBISH!!

Being a native, and having frequently tasted both varieties, as well as many other varieties, there is only one CLEAR WINNER, and it aint the weedgie water, thats for sure lol. Prolly got [censored] and everything in it, have you never seen those wee scumbags on chewin' the fat lol.

Coffee, humph thats for Yanks.

With their frappawappamoccaupyourjumpercino, and my favourite,

the

triple light non fat strawberry iced moccachoccahoccalottacino with no foam no cream and no sugar, Oh and hold the taste!

Which is clearly only available while stocks last at Starbucks lol.

Guinness.... YUCK!!!

Someone has a speach disorder then.......

Washing powder.......

Tennis......

LOL

Guinness is Irish, and is truly only drinkable in Ireland as when it travels anywhere else it loses some flavour. The problem is NOW, not that it is from a different brewery but IN FACT the problem is that the vehicles used for the transportation from Dublin are not cold enough to protect the taste, even the new Guiness Cold, is only kept cold at the destination not in transit. It's better but still just not the same.

ps. Nambarrie is exclusively Scottish and it only really works with water straight off Loch Katrine and Glencourse, aka Glasgow and Edinburgh tap water.

Very true my man.

I defy anyone, ANYWHERE in the world to have better standard tap water than me sitting here in Edimbourg.

I also have a beautiful big mug (not cup) of Tetley sitting amicably by my side.

Slainte Mhor, my good friend!

Puggy let's get one thing straight, the hardcore tea drinkers are not the pseudo scottish northerners, but in fact the Scots themselves, none of this Earl Grey Rubbish, or fancy fruity flavoured crap, it's about stallwarts like Tetley and Nambarrie.

Hahaha!

As if YOU don't have enough lol.

Randy You got mail!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! the 098!!!

PLEASE

Oh and while we are on the topic I NEED ONE OF THESE:

IWC Aquatimer:

They all lived happily ever after, because they were annibal monks and they ate the ones with red eyes.

Jees, I am a bit morbid this morning lol.

Just a wee idea I thought about as we will be having t-shirts made, a nice mug may be an option as well. What are your thoughts on this?? Also for all those Pam nuts i am working on a Pam design, but am more than happy to see any contributions from you guys.

Suppose there are 2 red-eyed monks on the island and

you're one of them. Before the visitor arrives you always assume that the

red-eyed monk you observe is the only monk with red eyes -- ie, you're

safe. (That monk is of course thinking the same thing about you.) When

the visitor announces that there are red eyes on the island you expect

the *one* (so you think) red-eyed monk to commit suicide. When they

don't, you realize you're in trouble. They must have been watching

someone else and waiting for that person to commit suicide. The only

person that they could have been watching is you -- you can see that

everyone else on the island has brown eyes so that rules them out. So

because the other red-eyed monk didn't kill himrself on day 1, you deduce

on day 2 that your eyes are red and you kill yourself. The other monk

went through identical reasoning watching you and so will also commit

suicide on day 2.

Supposing there are 3 red-eyed monks, each is watching the other 2 and

expecting, by the reasoning above, that they will both die on day 2. When

they don't, he concludes that they must not be watching just each

other. Since it's symmetric, the other 2 monks are each watching you and

the other one and thinking the same thing. Hence, you all 3 know to kill

yourselves by the 3rd day. etc...

They cut one eye out to see what colour eyes they have??? And die from shock.

Disgusting eh?

Ken that was an absolute shocker mate. BOOOOOOO!! lol

HAHAHAHA!!!

Haven't got a bloody clue lol.

How bout he owned 3 hens and 3 roosters, the are all randy little buggers and have copulated to make little baby hens, hence the 3 tiers, all different families lol - WRONG!!

How about he owns all the hens, and the roosters are imposters as it's a HEN HOUSE - WRONG!!

lol haven't got a clue on this one, prolly really simple.

I believe yours and my answers are the same.

Noone answers you are wearing black. The person wearing black answers then you are wearing white!

That what you got pugster?

The fact that noone said you couldn't see the spare hats.

Ok then if everyone is trying to be first then everyone will guess what colour hat they have on. If you are wearing a white hat then the person wearing the black hat will say black, as that is the only possibility. If there is hesitancy and noone KNOWS what colour hat they have on then you must be wearing black, as it is the only option where NOONE would KNOW what they are wearing.

You would see a black and a white.

The person wearing black would see a black and a white

the person wearing white would see a black and a black

Hence none of you would KNOW what colour of hat you have on.

So if you are wering black then noone knows what colour they are wearing, hence upon the hesitancy you can assume you are wearing a black hat.

If you are wearing a white hat then, the person wearing a black hat KNOWS HE MUST be wearing black.

Wow wow wow wow. I am gonna pull a puggy here, and demand to be crowned winner for giving the CORRECT answer.

There must be 2 spare hats, therefore depending upon the colour of the spare hats, you can determine the colour of your own. No if's, no but's, no maybe's this is CORRECT lol.

There are 3 black hats and 2 white hats. You and two others each have one of the 5 hats. You can all see what colour hats the others are wearing, but not your own. Everyone wants to be the first to work out the colour of their own hat. You can see one of them is wearing a black hat and the other a white hat.

How can you tell what colour yours is?

There are 5 hats 3 black and 2 white. If one of the other guys is wearing a white hat, then look at the 2 spare hats, if one is white you MUST be wearing a black hat, if they are both black you must be wearing a white hat.

By-tor, why is it departed? how could you get rid of this puppy.

Always lol.
