You can replace a complete keyboard for a few pounds, just replaced one on a toshiba for £12 second hand.

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are fantastic films. I can't see Tarantino making a better film than Pulp Fiction ever. The Kill Bill films are in my opinion a triumph of style over content, great films if you're a blood lusting spotty teen but anyone over about fifteen should really think better if they love the Kill Bill series. They are a badly constructed mess with a hopeless plot, you can imagine Tarantino smiling to himself in the mirror at how clever he is, Kill Bill is essentially cheesy violence lacking a basic logical structure, awful dialogue (that's if you can find much of it in the film) made with a vapid cartoon style. The Emporer's New Clothes. You really wonder where it all went wrong for Tarantino after he made Pulp Fiction, certainly wrong in terms of film making but completely right for his bank balance. He hasn't made a decent film since Pulp Fiction. Tarantino is a two film trick pony. I can wait and wait for the recently announced third installment of Kill Bill. You can hardly call Tarantino a prolific film maker, what's worse is that out of the relatively small amount of work he's created most of it is distinctly average. I'll let him off though as Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece. As a director I doubt many people really rate him as a film maker anymore. More like an over enthusiastic film student that some how managed to make a great film once, maybe it was a fluke. He's an absolutely dire actor as well, at least Hitchcock had the grace to not speak when he made a cameo and kept it very low key.

That's from another film film forum kind of sums Tarantino up.

I seem to remember getting flamed by a member called wired for smoke who had recently joined. Totally uncalled for ignorant rank came back. I think this was your previous screen name ? . You wont remember it because I simply dont reply to people like that. I think you reap what you sow in life and on here.

I care so very very much about your opinion, I mean I will literally lay awake at night now knowing that I have let you down. Perhaps I can redeem myself in your eyes at a later date, but for now the shame shall live with me as a constant reminder.

Or to put it another way, your opinion means less to me than the hair on my toes.

No, this is what you said (I have replaced the actual word used within square brackets), taken straight from the email that dropped into my inbox at 7.29am on the 12th Jan this year...

 

"I posted [expletive] and had the whole post removed how is this any different?

And when i posted about rules being different for certain people, I got lambasted. This is my case in point."

 

I would expect someone who had found the expletive to be offensive to have said so. You didn't. You wanted to make a point about how unfair things are and how badly we have treated you. Given how few mods there are and how many posts there are to check for swearing I think the membership can make their own minds up how that comes across.

I did I sent you a reply telling you that the word was used out of context therefor it is offence.

See you where not as quick to reply to that as you are to this.

The report-a-post function is there to help us to ensure the forum runs smoothly, not to complain about how unfair the world is.

I never used the report function to complain about how unfair the world was. I used it to report swearing which I found offence.

The report did take a month to be responded to not that that makes any difference.

Interesting feedback here, particularly on some of the mods approach. without defending anyone, at the end of the day we are first and foremost, tree guys. We all do the job, and most of us have done it for some time. This doesn't mean we know it all, but what I mean is we are not "professional" moderators. We give our time to try and help things run smoothly. But as I said, we are ordinary folk, and sometimes our opinions may be strong on certain topics. As Dean said, there is a report button if you aren't happy with a posting, whoever made it, mod or not, and it will be looked into and acted upon. This is everyone's forum, and we want everyone to feel it is theirs to use, after all without active members the site would die.

Being "shot down" for making a comment is unfortunately par for the course, I think most of us have experienced this, but it's part of active discussion, and occasionally people will have differing opinions on a topic, that's how we learn and move forward.

Thanks for your replies here so far, I'll take on board constructive comments and see how we can make things better for you all.

Don't forget, if you feel someone is offensive or rude, report it, that what we mods are here for. That and the beer

I have stopped posting because for the very reason you state.

I reported a post and the response after nearly a month was a joke imo.

I enjoyed the forum and still enjoy reading peoples posts and comments, but have brought up the point before and I stand by it, certain people post what they what how they and it stands. Other people post on a subject and people take great offence or pleasure in belittling them regarding it, because there not frequent posters or not in the mainstream way of thinking.

It is a great forum but to say it's everybody's forum is true to point. Just don't upset the elitists.

I bought a Belkin for over £20, and to be honest it was crap my iPad just moved about in it.

Glad I got the above it's the only 2 I have had experience with but this 1 far better thought and does what it should.

Mine is still like new one of my best finds of last year, bargain buy.

Good, its a nice feeling when that happens,

 

But £100 here and there is chicken feed to these guys, a top London barrister is on 10k a day.

A QC is on about £130 an hour can't see a top London lawyer being on 10k a day.

I've just seen a sanding and polishing kit for angle grinders for a tenner, so will give that a go. I've also got a scythe and draw knife that might get a clean up too

That's what I used on an axe that was over 30 yrs old, came up like new and it only took about 30mins to make a job of it.

Well worth it, then a shaft and a sharpen great axe for very little money.

A silly costly mistake that, what a loss for the flick off a switch.

I am looking for 15-17 meters of thick rope, must be reasonably priced, condition not that important.

If anyone can PM me thanks.

Love the heading of this thread .. brilliant

Got a whole list but i remember a popular one was if your dog pee-ed the carpet you rubbed its nose in it and that was it cured ( if not scarred ) for life!

It worked for any dog I have had.

Unreal how fast that is, rapid.

I might next week to you Tom, I have stuck the fuel mix in the chain lube. Poured it out topped up the the right fluids and no problems. These things happen when you are thinking about other things.

And as for getting work from it ie tree clearing, imagine if the locals (ur loyal customers) knew you had anything to do with the HS2, they may not be soon keen to use you in the future, I would turn the work down myself, at least i could sleep at night.

I dead on whatever you say, people will be falling over themselves to get the work.

And to turn work like that down when you never know whats round the corner would be silly imo.

It will be like everything that's opposed give it a few years and it will be forgot about.
