How about renaming this part of the forum to "Oilrag's ramblings"

Jeez man, you don't have post a load of tosh.

"Jeez man, you don't have post a load of tosh."

Now there's an interesting exercise for someone - analyse the syntax of that sentence!

Seriously, we hope to get this section renamed 'General discussion (non-motoring)' to encourage more contributions.

Isn't that just copying like the name the other place uses that can't be mentioned?

No, I don't think so - I just think it'll be good to encourage people to comment even if they haven't got a question.

I hate to point out the obvious, but it hasn't worked.

If oilrag had more than one alias (he used to have a French sounding one) it might sound like more posting. I think he had about 2 or maybe three.

But more need to post here and chat.

No doubt this will get deleted by Avant or Oilrag tomorrow. It will be on Google's cache for a bit though.*

* Oilrags other alias(es) are on the tip of my tongue. Well the one he comically did is at least.... will post it soon.

Racked brains and all I can remember is Mike (oilrag) used a name starting Monsieur I think and pretended to be French.

So this will be two posts deleted soon. So the oilrag quota will be kept higher? Or maybe not.

And the forum did not allow duplicate IDs but for some members were known about and tolerated... including Oilrag and a few others like RF.

I had one other nick `Enteratu Moteurs` with the permission of the mod`s at the time and in the interests of humour.

No need to delete your posts RtJ - it never entered my mind, actually.

regards

Agreed - nothing to object to. We're quite easygoing here and this section in particular is all about giving people an opportubity to air their views.

The more constructive those view are, the more interesting the debate. I'm sure this side of the forum will develop in time.
