Veteran duffer.

 

[mudsticks]

Veteran duffer.

I don't know, you duffers getting all snoflakey about how you're referred to.

Its such a minefield, oldster, veteran, senior, matured, oakaged, third agers.

Ya de ya de ya

You get the terms just a teensy bit wrong and you're all up in prickly arms about it..
Claiming your 'special' identities

My gratitude overfloweth.

I'll remind my kids to thank their parents for unprotected congress performed too.

Theyll love that

Getting back to @Smokin Joe s op, when I first ventured onto CC , I asked some questions that were answered in a diabolical way , to the point where I thought what is the point !
but I persevered and took note that 80-90 % of replies were good , so I’ve learned quite a bit on here ,

 

[Drago]

So, between 80 and 90 percent of my posts are good, eh? I had it pegged nearer 3 or 4%, but you're the boss.

...has anyone else noticed a fair few new members who make just one post with some weird mechanical problem and then disappear?

same on lots of forums, they google a problem, stumble across a forum, get their answer and bugger off

Sooo bl*ddy ungrateful

They could at least stick around to shoot the breeze with us wastrels, for oh i dunno - a year or two minimum.

They're probably off wasting their time 'having lives' or somesuch... Losers

At last, I've finally been promoted from Old Git to Wastrel.
