Hi Ron,
I most certainly do remember David, 'Wells Boy', and the Romulus & Ramus saga. With a shudder!
We both went well out of our way to help him and were thanked with vile insults and abuse. A most objectionable character.

Ron, PLEASE do not let recent regrettable events stop you from posting photos and comments about your travels. Otherwise Brightwork will have won, and we don't want that do we. Post them in the 'Hobby chit chat' category, then those who are not interested need not open them.
I believe there are many members, me included😉, who WILL be interested.
Safe journey and KEEP US POSTED👍

All the best, Doug😎
PS Don't forget the single malt tasting, Slàinte mhath😋

Ron,

Before the malicious comments and narrow views, I was really enjoying everything on the web site.
You not posting pictures of your trip is regrettable as most of us would have really enjoyed them.
It is a pity that you are not venturing further south, I would have liked to meet you.

Enjoy the rest of your trip

Regards
Ed

I use the forum to link with my fellow model boat enthusiasts from various countries. From this forum I have “met” and formed international friendships. I will not be able to see them in person but we can share common interests in more than just model boats. Sometimes we have been employed in the same careers, or our religious beliefs coincide and we become brothers in Christ.

Since being on this website I have been able to find help with building various projects. Doug, do you remember David and his search for Ramus? We remember when Colin first told us about his son, then his wife’s condition and other problems that he has been dealing with in his life.

Knowing that many of the people who read and write on this website are from the UK and extended regions it seemed like asking for contact of any Scottish model boat builders was in order. Thus, my travel enquires began, I will not be posting photos of our trip unless they are boating related which would be beneficial to the readership. ( only just these two photos are not boats but indicators of being in port)

Most respectfully,

Ron, who is on the road in Scotland or might I say railroads.

Dave, that is the point, diversion from the mission of this site. I am not pointing you out specifically as I don't remember who did the postings. I do remember you have some pretty good posts.

What could sort this out is by having those off/on switches mentioned a number of times.

Lew

Lew,
I'm sorry if I am the member you are referring to.
I put them in the "Animals and Nature" section which is in the "non-hobby chat" section, because many of them (although admittedly not all) were scenery/nature pics.
That section seemed to have other similar posts.
If they were unacceptable, I apologize.
I will try to contain myself better in the future.

ChrisF, I wasn't responding to Ronald's vacation. Not long ago there were a few posts that had a noticeable amount photos of a member's vacation. I see that some members are asking a way for certain types of posts to be switchable (on/off). I had not seen Ronald's post about Scotland. I just searched and viewed it. No issues.

Lew

Lew, obviously Ronald will speak for himself but the way I read his post was that he was responding to your "I have no interest in vacation type messages unless it is about model boats. Same for wildlife and scenic pictures. Maybe because I live in a region loaded with wildlife. I would rather see photos of your meets".

...or just not see it if it is turned off.
Lew

May be that would be a good idea then people could look or pass on by 👍

Maybe a section "Q of the D" section of its own...?
