A great loss...

[IdeasVacuum]

...This post is becoming a challenge: Can the post out-live the amount of time that srod is away from PB? I think it can!

[rrpl]

This is not a great loss. The graveyard is full of indispensable people. None of us is a great loss.

If srod has left the building to sell cars, then good luck to him, goodbye and thanks!

I hope more people from the French and German forums step in here in the future, though.

Are you kidding!!!!



Surely he's going to sell "beer" not "cars"!

On a more serious side, "thanks for the fish!" (as blueznl so adequately quoted from MP), so thanks srod.

The terminology I employed is not something over which I care to quibble.

LOL! Love the exaggerated phrase in order to drive home your point. Nice.

And he kept Fifi, my favourite sheep!! (oops!!)

Aye, probably saved her from drowning.

Do, the mean bastard doused her in his car shaped beer can collection. I thought she had been out for a night on the town. Only, she had been used in wicked ways by that evil beer guzzler!! And then driven badly down the streets in a test dummy vehicle that he is selling in his next job!!

Drowning? In the highlands?

No, you wouldn't...

Me, a car salesman! I think not. I'd rather sell my soul... oh wait a minute, I did that already ten years ago. Swapped it for a donut and a copy of Razzle I seem to remember! The only thing I've left to sell now is my collection of odd socks and fangbeast's collection of used, abused and discarded sheep. It's like some wild aussie sanctuary around here, there's even a couple of kangaroos hopping around; minus their toe-nails of course which fangles keeps alongside the gerbill clippings, hamster fur and Bericko's unwanted g-string collection.

It's a strange world for sure.

Let's get this straight, shall we??? You abused the sheep, I discarded them. I just didn't know what you'd done to them and didn't want to catch any exotic diseases.

To anyone reading this post who thought the druids had come back to StoneHenge, that was just srod at a drunken beer orgy with the sheep as the main coarse. He put a spit (ptooey!!) in the boot of the car he crashed there and drowned everything in beer!!

which course which fangles keeps alongside the gerbill clippings, hamster fur

I'm running out again. Could you give me some of those used goat gratings that you use instead??

and Bericko's unwanted g-string collection.

I thought we weren't going to mention that after the last payment he made?? And it all went on your damned beer. Time to hit him up for another deposit.

Sorry my mistrake.... Must be he has been saving all those lager cans for years making enough stock to open up his own business as a panel beating shop. Mainly so he can get good staff discounts on his own repairs.

Wow, srod has been around here for so long that I was beginning to think he was a permanent fixture here.

I never got much of a chance to get to really know him but of what little I did know, he was always willing to help and very generous with his knowledge.

Srod, best wishes to you and I hope you achieve all the success you desire in your ventures. Don't be a stranger and come back to visit us from time to time, you'll always be welcome here.

[blueznl]

Isn't the fact that we are spending so much time on Srod not a clear indication to Fred & Co that it's about time to release a new version?

[Logman]

You will be missed, good luck. I know I've used your code and other ideas and will miss your input.

Don't be a stranger.
