The last word on urg
 
I wonder who will INSIST on having the last word when this newsgroup does
eventually pass to the Great Compost Heap in the sky.

I know who I have my money on

Kind regards

Mike

Look around you. What made me ask?

If so it will be a lie, or a boast, or probably both.

.....and/or an even*longer* sig?! ;)

I think it would be apt if I had the last word. I have been here for
years and I still know little about gardening. Not because the advice
hasn't been good, it has, it's because the more I learn, the more I
realise that I know nothing. Therefore the last word has to be mine,
asking yet another question.

It takes a wise person to realise how little they know.
It takes an eejit to boast about how much they think they know.
You are doing fine Judith.

Hi Des, long time no hear how are you? I love the use of the word
eejit, I could trade a few words with you, one being about bottoms,
you will know what I mean G. I might be doing fine, but the more I
read here, the less I realise I know. I couldn't do without this
group, I am not here to advise, just to learn.

and rubbish about cruising on an able seaman's pension.


Another of his lies. He was never a seaman, able or otherwise. Just a
wireman on a shore base.

For your education.

The rank of 'Wireman' went out on January 1st 1946 when the Electrical
Branch was formed.
Any good at maths? I was born in 1936 :-)

Hope that helps. :-)

Get your facts right and engage brain before putting fingers into gear to
type.

Kindest regards

Mike

Don't try to twist my words, you silly little man.

I didn't say what your rank was, just what you did.

You were a wireman on a shore base.

"When you are in a hole, stop digging""

There is no such rank or position as Wireman in the Royal Navy and there has
not been one since the Electrical Branch was formed on January 1st 1946.
Afloat or Shore Based.

As you seem to know so much about me, perhaps you would like to post my
service history for all to see. From start to Commission :-)

Kindest regards

Mike

Wireman.
