Ive told you before Pedro, a pre-requisit to being on a forum is that you need to be able to read:mad:

Then let's do a spellcheck. There is no hyphen in prerequisite, there is an 'e' on the end. There is also a 'u' in humour and let's not forget the full stop :D:D:D:D:D.
sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone, just amuse:).

Asked a question about 12v plugs and got the info I wanted in about 5 minutes!


Also the techy threads can have good discussions on them, keep to the topic, have some banter on them but does not go completely off topic. Most UK forums tend to go off topic or get bitchy which can spoil good topics.

So thanks for all your help in the past folks, and thanks for the help I will get here in future.

Regards

That should actually be "... Just don't post too much..." seeing everyone else is on a grammar/spelling kick...and as I recall from a miss-spent youth, 'Inner Circle' is a pretty fine rum ;)

First in print in The Bulletin in 1912, but presumably in widespread use before that in speech. In 1913 The Sun gives "pommy" as taking over from the long established term "new chum".

I always wondered if the pomegranate term arose from a similar root as the American term "Limey". Pomegranates were eaten to prevent scurvy - this was also the reason for the drinking of lime juice.

Are you taking exception to the Moderators for some reason? I assume that is the cause of the disparaging term you've used.

I've always wondered about that. There seems to have been a number of very skilled people in the convicts sent. One has to ask were some sent because of those skills - maybe even though they hadn't actually transgressed.
