I had a friend who did some business with a dwarf and he described him as a 'bitter dwarf'. I said, laughing, what do you mean by 'bitter dwarf'?, and he replied "All dwarves are bitter, aren't they?". I still think about it to this day. That's because they are unemployed for 49 weeks a year, once the pantomime season ends. you do have the knack of pushing bounderies but getting away with it completely😁 my twopence is that in a self moderated world Roger is totally correct to self moderated his own thread. this forum needs more of us to point out when things go too far. I'm not passing any judgement on magnetmans post.

Throw the toys out of the pram? Really? I believe your comment was intended to be humerous and ironic. Humorous. It was too small to be recognized as such. Or it just wasn't funny.

Anyway while you lot were bickering I had a lovely flight above the clouds at 13,000’ in my glider. So there. You may be able to make babies at the drop of a hat (bit of sperm) but you can’t enjoy the hand of god whisking you off at 13,000’ with no engine. And that of course is clear proof that despite all the mortal homophobic pseudo-religious rhetoric, god in fact is not homophobic. If he were he wouldn’t have arranged nature to give me such a nice afternoon. Whisked off? Is that recognised as safe practice in the flight manual?

I'm not passing any judgement on magnetmans post. I thought for a while before writing this post .... but here goes. When I was running my company I had several guys who used to work for me on a casual basis (when I needed a bigger workforce than normal). One of them from East London (Walthamstow) was born here but had West Indian parents. We were working for one company where there were a small group of racists who worked in the shipping department. ....... He went ambling up to them one day, went straight to the foreman and said " They tell me you know an awful lot about English sayings but there's one I just don't understand, could you explain it " the guy said "I'll try" .... "Right well it's .... work like a nigger, I just don't get it, 'cos most of the ones I know don't" After the initial slightly stunned silence the room was full of grins and from then on the atmosphere altered. I reckon that guy did more to improve race relations than all the politically correct rantings ever. (Incidentally when he went to my main customer for the first time he went round introducing himself as "the company's token black)

Hmmm had some whisky last night and clearly some confusion! I think I meant to say “ whisking you up to 13,000’”. But then again the original is funnier!

But then again the original is funnier! So much whisky you missed my edit! The original wasn't funnier, so I helped! I presume you carry a bottle of windowlene? On another tack, I heard the proposed new upskirting bill (he sounds like a dodgy character) will also include men in kilts.

Well I had only just woken up, was still in bed and pretty dozy. That’s my excuse anyway! Yes they couldn’t really ban upskirting without banning upkilting. Which is a shame really because I never minded having my equipment inspected. Although that time when I’d forgotten to take off my frilly lacy pink knickers was a bit embarrassing.

Anyway while you lot were bickering I had a lovely flight above the clouds.....you can’t enjoy the hand of god whisking you up to 13,000’ with no engine. Yes we can. Anyone can buy or make a glider. One can also enjoy, at absolutely no cost, 'The Hand of God' by jumping off Beachy Head and experiencing the BIGGER THRILL of being pulled towards the centre of The Earth with no engine. Anyone can buy or make a glider, but none of you can make it go up to 13,000’ using only the power of god.

Anyway, when I said "none of you" I meant none of you participating in the conversation, not "none of you on the forum" nor "none of you on the planet".

I don't know much about gliders but I'm amazed that the aerodynamics remain unaffected by the size of your head.
