An explanation

[bob10]

It has been decided [ wisely so, I believe] to create a place for me to post my links to various sites. Hopefully this will stop me bashing heads against our more traditional members. It's in the parking lot, I will be posting, whether you look or not is up to you. Fine by me, Bob

I don't understand who you're referring to nor the "traditional" reference.
Would you mind explaining that?

I don't think it's a bad idea, everything in one place makes for easy finding. I doubt it's your exclusive domain though Bob, unless your nickname is Walrus. :p
Some of your links are very interesting, others not to me; I just read the ones that I like and leave the rest to others who are interested.
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for sharing, Bob. :)

Settle, guys, I am very happy with this arrangement. INC . IMO, has done extremely well. Hopefully no more spiteful niggling, everything in the right spirit. Bob

Thanks, champion. Let me say it has never been my intention to upset, merely to inform. As for the Walrus.....

I feel I owe you an explanation, and you asked nicely, so... when I first started posting my links, I was told in no uncertain terms this was a land rover site, and anything non land rover was not welcome. I thought this was the 21st century, and general chat was a talk around the campfire. Long story short, my pig headiness and ingrained not taking a backward step, was matched by some senior members. And I respect them for that. Bit like a rugby match, actually. It may have seemed to some that I just wanted to cause trouble. Nothing could be further from the truth. I just wanted to belong. And now I feel I do. Bob

what's a "soft cock"? sounds disappointing.

It's what electronics in modern land rovers do, ie limp mode.:coplight:

Barry White was nicknamed "the walrus of love" does this mean I should now bombard Bob's zone with Barry White material :cool:

I hear you, but I am 67 years old, how long do think I should tilt at windmills? I'm tired, and need less of this, and more of comfortable discussions. I need a far nicer World than what we see at the moment. I think it is up to us to make that so. Bob

........how long do think I should tilt at windmills?........

Haha Bob, an admirable trait that. I've been known to participate in a bit of tilting myself, but I may be a slightly quicker learner than you. :p
It's time to pass the baton down to the less weary like discovery39 eh? ;)

I like the interesting odd and funny picks thread. If General Chat had that stuff all over it It wouldn't be as much fun. More likely it would be a pain in the bum. So another thread for links makes sense to me. Somehow though, I doubt that it is going to be Bobs comfy chair. It could end up being the place to go for a good stoush.
I hope it works out well.
Cheers, Billy.

For those of you who haven't met Bob, he's not really a grumpy old man.............well he's not grumpy at least............ he'd be a damned good wingman and is a decent old salt. :twobeers:

Good idea , general chat is not the place for continuous random crap.

I fully applaud the decision to create this new section....and the decision to remove my previous post without warning or explanation. I think that's what I'm supposed to say? Please let me know if I have to change my opinion.

Sounds like he has the fire in the belly. My fire has been diminished by DR xxxx, Bob

[Ausfree]

Hey Bob, be just like the rest of us "old farts" and go with the flow. I just read posts, have a laugh and move on.:D

ps. Just thought, it's my birthday tomorrow, so I guess that makes me an "older old fart"
