Who's Chris G??
Seeing as you ask:-
The first son of a Russian Aristocrat and a French Countess, ChrisG first came to prominence when he was appointed Head of really hard sums at
Cambridge at the age of three, Having already passed 69(ooer) O levels and 52 A levels in Nursery, After a brief career as a secret agent, during
which he saved the world a total of six times, he Married into the Getty family and became head of several multi-national companies before he was out
of short trousers. As a chess grand master he travelled the world in his Lear jet which he flew himself after becoming the only under 12 to recieve a
full commercial pilots licence( with the best score ever). After the collapse of his second marriage to Patsy Kensit he became an international
playboy, breaking the bank at Monte Carlo and becoming world scrabble champion in the same week. Tyring of the Jet-set life he retired to the
relative obscurity of reseach chemistry, inventing DNA, and a cure for AIDS which he's keeping to himself.
Today he lives a simple life in his 565654 bedroom mansion in the posh part of Sheffield, his wardrobe consists only of fabrics that can be proved to
come from endangered species and shoes that cost more than your house. Since wining the Nobel prize for literature he writes much less - turning out
perhaps two or three best sellers per year, giving him time for his other interests, underwater falconry, Locosts and Pornography.
Despite his intellect and his vast wealth he is STILL a better bloke than you, one of life's gentlemen calm, considerate and hung like a bull
elephant.
Cheers

This post certified sarcasm free.
Until I read that bit I didnt belive a word of it. Still dont the bit about the posh bit of Sheffield kinda stretched things a bit too far  Having
said that, the only bits I have seen have been from the M1.
Got lots of your knives and forks darn sarf tho - next to the south korean ones.
Alvesta shoulnt have got rid of that stainless steel bull - it looked cool.
On a more serious note - driving along the M6 there makes me angry. Typical of the UK - all the steel and manufacturing industry is gone, and is
replaced by a bloody shopping centre. Just like Birmingham on the M6 too.
I just hope I make it to retirement without becoming a telemarketer at some point. Geting my car finished by then would be a bonus too!

Well, Chris G - its hard to describe what a ChrisG is like - I wont even try
TOL - well, thats the 'other' group - the one we dont like to mention.
The Other List
Its rumoured that a certain person on this list got thrown out of there......but he seldom mentions it
http:/groups.yahoo.com/group/locost
AlanB is one of the moderators.
The archives are very useful. You have to sign up to get into them tho.
It used to be a lot of fun until it all turned personal around February time. Its better now, but its a bit sanitised. Ask a question, get and answer,
dont rock the boat. Bit like tea with the vicar.

Not been around for a few days so just seen this. Can't believe someone would send an e-mail like that - this is such a friendly group with a great
mix of help, technical info, sarcasm, wit, stupidity and general tolerance for yhose of us who have to ask daft questions.
Long may it live exactly as it is.
Now I hate to mention it (not wanting to appear to be critical or a smart arse) but - I think you mean the M1

Bugger - i edited it but you got in there first and gave the game away!
Give me some slack  - I come from London where people think 5 miles is going on holiday - so even knowing about the north is a bonus for a southy!
I still get confused after 20 years when I get to the end of the A14 and have to make a choice - M1, M6,

Hi All
Said gentleman came to my place of work today to pick up a set of 5 tyres and centre caps for his RS wheels and I have to confirm his portly status.
He looked to be of the 'stout' type to my eyes. So Bob, either you're being polite or you need you're eyes testing!

Chris, if your hair's not thinning, and you aren't stout, then why do you put up an avatar of a bald fat git in a red and yellow kiddy car? Eh?
Eh?

Hear hear!!
As a relative newcomer, with a limited supply of innate mechanical skills, this forum (and meeting up with some of the people on it) is an absolutely
brilliant source of information.
The keeness of people like Chrisg, BTB, Steve Gusterson, locodude, etc to answer the same question over and over again to people like us is enough to
keep my enthusiasm up and i know when an issue comes up, many people will give their opinion, and a concensus normally appears.
(hint to other newbies - use search for FAQ's before going down well trodden paths)
Also, wasn't it Chrisg who suggested the Mentoring/buddy scheme, which got a good reception, and hopefully the ball rolling? (Anyone want to be
mine!)
I've asked lots of individual questions, and not once have I been let down with no answers coming back.
Also, you'd have to have a pretty thin skin if the micky taking on this forum is too much - may l suggest Cross Stitch Builders as an
alternative.
Sermon over.
Cheers,
MArk
