Hi Nick.

Doesn't say a lot.
Look to the day when zappers are identified, not by real name, just their virtual ID.

I have had a couple lost, first one excuse then another. I am a tainted commodity on h2g2. But the out of context, off-topic idea seems the easiest one to invoke over the last few months. The external and paid moderator system takes a post at a time, might look at the 'subject' line, and just uphold a request to zap. You can follow pages and links from the e-mail (if you get one) and let higher levels ponder.

Your post wasn't quite in-line with the thread, but it wasn't unrelated either. It was a personal experience of someone from a very real catastrophe. I thought it offered food-for-thought

Nick - It was intended as food for thought.
Tragic though 9.11 was it is not high on the hit list.
May 8th, slips by with little or no recognition. 11.11.11 is still within living memory.
The other point is a bit of a hobby horse or mine.
The importance of communication, or the speed of it, in todays world.
See you around. Can I put you on my friends list and keep an eye on you.

I post journals rarely and usually to 'p'itch about on-site things. But go for it ... I'll add you on as well. You do pose good thinkings often, and sometimes just puss-me-off. But hey, each has the right to the opinions, right?

Pleased to meet you

As to dates and day markings. I am younger than you by a fair bit, and Canadian. And ultimately I am totally cr@p poor at history and geography. So I know dates and incidents that I have somehow crossed paths with best

Find me on a piccy site, or FaceBook, you will see that a tattoo is my piece of long honourings of folks come and gone in causes they believed in. Other causes and actions over the recent century, I can't so much 'get behind'

I see 'pussing off' as you say, as part of communication.
By and large I speak first hand, the lessons of life are hard learned and stick tight in the memory.
Old age has strange effects.

PS- I put my Picky on Barlesque. It's already a few years old.
By the way I've been through the Rockies.

I sometimes re-spell words so that my personal troupe of followers has less to easily zap. Hence the 'pussing off' of folks

I have only seen the Rockies once, it's a really big country and despite having spent a measure of time in most provinces, it is still frackin' huge!

It's big but there's a lot in the UK I haven't seen.
You should get to the Rockies it's breath taking.
My first trip to Canada was our Silver wedding celebration, my best man emigrated there shortly after our wedding. It was a great reunion.
PS. Celebrate our Diamond Wedding next year, an Ancient Brit in a true sense.

Monday is a bank-holiday here and, coincidentally, our 24th anniversary. So it would seem that we are some years behind you (I have no idea which are what metals and stones and such)

I was to BC only the once, just to the western foothills of the Rockies. The flying-over was absolutely impressive. But then so are some of the lesser mountains of other provinces, especially when they are in a spring-time blossom

Next year your 25th. Is the silver wedding.

I usually leave that sort of thing to the missus, she's got a much better memory for social conventions

A couple were celebrating their Silver Wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of the long and happy marriage. 'Well, it dates back to our honeymoon,' explained the husband. 'We visited the Grand Canyon and took at trip down to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled. My wife quietly said, "That's once." We proceeded a little further when the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, "That's twice." We hadn't gone half a mile when the mule stumbled a third time. My wife took a pistol out of her pocket and shot the mule. 'I started to protest over her treatment of the mule when she looked at me and quietly said, "That's once."

Good Sir, that joke is nearly as old as you are.

In many respects the olduns are the best.
One of our golfing fourball always said that he liked to play with me because no matter how often he told me the same joke I always laughed.
The first time that I used a golf club was that first trip to Canada.

I have never played the real game, just the fun-and-amusement version that many play parks have for the young and young at heart. They are fun, no skill helps at all, and never EVER win against my daughter. She is a terrible loser.

I take it from the that she beats you fair and square.
My two son's are in their 50's and can whup me at most things.
Grand kids give me a run for my money.
I was in my 50's before I started to play golf although I did play amateur football until I was in my middle 30's along with a bit of tennis to please my wife.

She (my daughter) will be 30 a week hence. And her 8th wedding annversary coincides with our 24th tomorrow. Luck of the draw of available dates for a court-house and a 'justice-of-the-peace' they liked. Still, it was a wonderful day and time of mutual congratulations and toasts and just a fabulous time for most

Ex-wife (mother of my daughter) was a frump and just was out of much of it. Too bad, her other daughter had a great time and got on well with me and my bride. To her mother's dismay ...

Our eldest son was born on my wife's birthday. Today as I write this.

Your eldest son was born today? You did start late in life.

How many have been born since?
