All of you have already said it for me.
Other people - Mick (journeyman Mick) and Darren (silentC) among them - have from time to time compared this BB to the sort of group you might meet in a big working environment or a large club. You meet people who have a common interest but who are all different. The rich mixture makes for a great atmosphere.
Thanks to all of you for cheering me up, pissing me off, making me laugh and teaching me a helluva lot!

Most of it has already been said, but the best thing it has taught me is a new appreciation of hand tools.
Previously I would have gone out of my way to avoid using certain hand tools now I grab the best tool for the job irrespective if it is plugged into a power point or not.
And ofcourse the friends I've made on the board, great bunch of guys with the same weird sense of humour.

I would like to say what everyone else has but this is all getting a bit too touchy feely for me! GROUP HUG AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH This is making me feel all soft and lovely. I think I want to cry. You are all just so beautiful, I love you soooooo much.
GOD STEVO WAKE UP COME TO YOUR SENSES MAN
This is woodworking list. They are all tough and strong here. Be a proper bloke or get chucked out on your ****. Get all that finger licking soft touch, willy nilly, mumbo jumbo and take it out of here.
THIS IS THE SHED

I've personnally learnt how to spend a poo-pot of money on stuff I dont really need to survice. However I love this hobby and it gives me a sense of acheivement when people say "bugger, I thought you were useless at everything, can you make me one ?" the best part is when I say it will take x time and y of your $ for me to do this and they say ok.
however - we hates you all, you and your tricksy ways, give me back my ring, wankers the lot of yers. especially craigb, silentc, frigging grunt, wongo, OZWINNER!!!!, bitingmidge - pah!, woodborer, doorstop, darrylf and his sanitary workshop, majorpanic and his endless supply of new toolware, bloody and alexs, and all you others that make fun of us poor lower order primates ....
I feel a rendition of:
"I'm a bloke, Im a yobbo,
and me best mates name is ,
me shirt is flannellette,
blue heeler for a pet... etc..."

Almost too late, the thought of hugging collectively with you lot. :eek: :eek:
I spend way too much time , my time not work time :eek: :eek: :eek: , on this forum. It's the only place I go everyday without fail, sort of like a toilet really.
Speaks volumes about you lot of ratbags. Can't wait for the Newcastle show to meet the monkey boy.Cheers

The BB
Besides the humour, I look forward to my daily fix of inventive solutions and advice from experienced woodwreckers given honestly and freely.
Thanks to Neil, Ubeaut & AllRussell (aka Mulgabill)

You can't get out of it anymore, so bring those muffins with you as I still haven't sampled one of those thanks to that silent(?)C character, who stole my last one after plying me with copious quantities of amber liquid.Cheers

Hmm. I recall getting in on the Big Bessey Buy, that has greatly simplified clamping time and effort, allowing me to get other things done.
I have a shed-load of wood, thanks to this BB.
My TS was researched here and in other fora.
I've picked up lots of local knowledge of stores, events, displays etc.
I get to help others on occasion.
Techniques and ideas are easily retrieved from the search engine.
I got to meet some good guys in the process.
Oh yeah, nearly forgot - it has a resident talking monkey!
