New Thread Title to Replace "today's tool gloat"

[Bryan]

No need for a referendum; just vote with your feet.

[eskimo]

Hi Bryan do you still want a fan?

And howcome your signature isnt being scrutinised and asked to be removed.....lol

On the subject on the word gloat....
IMO this has really gone overboard!
Yes not a nice sounding word but that is what welder posted...rightly or wrongly...if one doesnt like it dont contribute....but complaining about something that is not an attack on anyone..is pedantic to say the least

Thats my tupence worth.

Hi Bryan do you still want a fan?

i was a bit taken aback by a comment on one of my postings which made me thing twice about adding to the input but hey im pretty thick skinned so keep up the good work

Guys, please consider that the thread "Today's tool gloat" was started by welder.

Might perhaps be an idea to consult with him first?

PM sent. I think he is online, according to what I just read. But his Message quota is FULL.

let us all let Andre make the decision if he wants and also change the title...if he so desires!!!

[Oldneweng]

I would like to think that this exercise is an attempt to come up with a new title for an old idea (thanks welder) that will be acceptable to more people.

I understand that some of you would prefer to retain the old name. That's fine. It should be an unbiased decision.

It has been suggested that if you don't like it then don't look at it. Start your own.

Is it better to have multiple threads, or a single thread that everyone can contribute to?

I don't mind if the thread get a name change I agree with the sentiments. I started the thread when I was 15 and. It was a gloat at that point although I would have .named it different if I had put more thought into it.

As a young bloke, I had an opinion on everything, rightly or wrongly, ( mostly wrongly ) Apart from the times that I was threatened by the proverbial " 9 foot Hells Angel " ( you old P******S should remember that line ) I stuck to my guns.
Never once have I regretted standing up for my standards/principles, ( copped a couple of floggings for it over the years ) but many an occasion I regret having backed down.

Its a forum on the Interwebby. Don't like it.....then BUGGER OFF!

Don't try and smash a young bloke because you might be offended, turn the TV OFF.

Welder, I'm on a hobby horse here and I can't back you up apart from the once a month or so that I look on here, but I'll do my best to keep an eye out for you.

As for the slanging and political correctness of this lot, I'm game if all you naysayers are too.
Doing big hours at work at the moment, dealing with lots of professionals with ego's far larger than their abilities so it may be a day or two before yo may receive a reply

I'll spend bucket loads more effort to support a young bloke that has a go than a bunch of Whingey Whiny old blokes over the wording of a forum title

I think that the thread title should give some idea as to what the thread is relating to, some of the titles suggested so far do not meet that criteria, as do a lot of other threads on this forum.

On another machinists forum that I frequent, threads with "meaningless topic titles" are quickly locked.

Regards, Lex.

[Old Fraggle]

Gotta be honest Lex, I'm not sure what you meant?
Feedback welcomed mate

Yes, its looking more and more like PM.(and just to be clear I'm not saying thats a good thing)
One word in the title of one thread.
And people say I have to much time on my hands.

Looking forward to many more posts on the misuse of the Queen's English.............. I know mines well less than perfect.
