    It's really a subjective thing certain things trigger mental images ie;

    Something to do with Major Panic always reminds me of the novel "catch 22" remember "major Major Major"

    KiwiGeo always makes me think of Dad, he's was born in Auckland and his name is "George" and he is a highly skilled and celebrated artisan, whom I wished I'd listened to more often when showing me his craft.

    GlockSw40 always makes me think of a "take no prisoners tolerate no bullshoot brash sorta Bugga" hang on thats because it's true

    Tassiekiwi a New Zealanders map of Tassie :eek:

    Journeyman Micks'because I sorta understand what a journeyman was I somehow associate it with a "troubadour" dunno why similar era maybe
    just a few from the corridors of my mind

    catchy catchphrase needed here, apply in writing to the above .

    Major,

    I know the feeling But nowadays, if I have anything complex to glue up, I use Techniglue epoxy with a slow hardener. It has a really long open time in reasonable ambient temperatures, and takes away all the stress from complex glue-ups. The down-side is that it takes 12 hours or so to cure fully, but that is no big deal.

    mixed messages I noticed:

    • Daddles: cute little old grandfather type name, but the title "Grumpy Old Bugga" doesn't sound like "Daddles".
    • Rocker (with rocking chair avatar) relaxed dude with a green cardigan and a pipe sitting in his rocking chair in front of the fire, and "rocker" as in 'rock-and-roll' fan.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.
