OLD TIMER  I`ll have you know I`m only 'half of double that age'...........or do I mean 'double of half that age'
Whichever it is I am still one of the boards senior members  or do I mean senile of the members.
Thanks anyway D.S.

Now you don't do it anymore.....which means you are an old timer........
Tell you what.......I'll see meself out shall i........ .......

Allow me to guide you
The doors >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that way

  A couple of comment from me
D.S. is afraid his posts might have offended me....... Sorry I took them as an excuse to banter a little and apologize to D.S and any others who took offense at my replies.
I would like to thank the 'Powers that Be' for the birthday greeting PM they sent me
and the Mod. who took time to PM me with greetings and ask if I had received any railway related gifts.
Well now I have  ...a book on Victorian railways    and vaguely related book about military defenses in Hampshire from Roman times till the modern day (there are a few rail related pictures in it 
I believe that one of them listed but not named MIGHT be Fort Pengy 

Thanks for that, Jon.

Now, it's time you were in bed as the light will be turned out in 5 minutes

Take no notice Jon, they are only jealous. They can't remember a time when petrol was 1s 3d a gallon and a pint was 9p like we can.

Jon

Happy Birthday youngster!

Regards

Ray

   John hope you have/had a great day.

Crikey mate some of these blokes are making out you are ancient  tell em not to be so bloody cheeky 

Many happy returns John. Hope you have had a lovely day  You will have to let us all know what your new book on Victorian railways is like 

Marty

You have nothing to apologise for John.......
You certainly didn't cause any offence.......
Initially i thought my posts might have been seen as "in bad taste" by other forum members in light of what John is going through at the moment and due to the fact that there had been no other birthday wishing posts following mine.
The Old Timer Jibe was just a play on words......JonCLOX-CLOCKS-TIME....
I understood Johns banter and thanked him for it in the post but felt i should make an apology (which i did by pm) just in case i had caused any upset.
I think it is the problem of comunicating with words only and not being able to judge by tone of voice and facial expressions what people are meaning that causes these cross lines.
Anyway probably best if i just shut me gob and let everybody get back to railway modelling..............See ya later fella's

Happy Birthday Jon  hope  you've  had a good one 



Oh  Jon's the one in  red  above  who then went on to a club  where he  is still   surrounded  by lots of partygoers  i've been told   

Happy birthday!  I hope you had a  great day.
