    Dave, your refreshing blend of irony, seasoned with a good pinch of cynicism, is exactly the recipe for sitting back and letting todayโ€™s global madness roll off you with a certain sense of amusement. Firstly, most of us are probably too old to actively fight back, and secondly, many of us tried in our younger days โ€“ through military service, political activities, NGOs and the like, as well as in supporting the next generation โ€“ to instil at least some sense of reason in our immediate surroundings.

    Actually, Jumpugly, we have TWO aims, we either aim to please, or aim for the rigging. (I'll go back to my gun crew now)๐Ÿ˜‰

    Ian,

    I hope that by characterizing this site as "Social Medium", you don't leave "as a matter of principle".
    This is a great group, very unlike most other social media sites ....

    Dave B
    So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

    As a newcomer to this community, I am deeply impressed by how close many members are to one another, even though I assume most have never met in person (and possibly donโ€™t even know each otherโ€™s real names). As a matter of principle, and also due to lack of interest, I am not active on any so-called social media; now I realise that the Model Boats website is exactly that โ€“ a social medium. No reason, however, to lump it together with TikTok and the like; on the contrary. I join in the good wishes โ€“ at 80 years of age, one is at least a candidate for similar "developments".

    Thanks for sharing the story. Happy to hear you are recovering. I think it is important that we share updates on fellow modellers when it comes to health issues.

    Doug, good to hear you are making tangible progress. Of course rehab never happens as quickly as any of us would like, but keep at lt
