johngalway

Please, none of the T's, I would like to think there's a bit more mileage left in me before I get rusty

No, neither. Given his background he is not a Delta moderator, he is a Lambda one.

Riddled, have you been watching Michael Collins lately Always liked that word.

Ah I dunno, there's a few about, no more so than any other place I'd say myself.

Just looked at this thread as I presumed it was about a sound suppressor, which I can't have so I thought why bother.

Bored and nothing new to look at so I thought I'll have a look.

Sorry for your upcoming troubles JG

Don't expect me to treat you as nice as I treat Sparks, who is conspicious by his absence here lately. His promotion is obviously keeping him busy elsewhere.

Well while the cats away .....................................

OK so ........... congrats lad nice to have another "hunter" as a Mod :cool:

johngalway

Troubles, what troubles, sure life here is a bed of roses

Problem with this gig is getting people to see the difference between someone modding, and someone just being themselves.

Spose it's a bit like how cops are seen, ya see one out in civvies and ya kinda wonder, is he reeeeally off work?

its simple dont abuse it , if your posting on a thread and its not going your way ,done sent warnings of infractions like other mods .

be the man like we think your are not a spoilt child like others .

respect has to be earned .

I'm going to be me JW, so basically whoever didn't like me as just a member most likely won't like me as a moderator for reason of personal dislike. That's their problem. I won't be interested in earning respect (as a mod) through being friendly, being a bollocks, or any other way as I don't see myself having to put myself up on some high wire balancing act as a mod, that's just setting myself up for a fall by getting backed into all sorts of corners.

There's a charter (hunting, shooting, also target shooting charter and sales charter) for the forums and that's what I'll be following if someone wants to act the amadán. But, if there's a genuine problem, I'll do my best to sort it out. Considering legalities and theories, I'll try to be open as I can taking two sides of an arg.... discussion, but don't pull the piss with it.

If you want the short version if basically goes that I'll treat a person the way I get treated by them.

John,

Congrats on the new post, I just hope it doesn't interfere with your fabulous foxing stories as they are always a little gem worth watching out for.

Oh dear!

Who persuaded you to drink from the poisoned chalice John?

I believe it's a bit like having a new baby:

• You don't get any sleep.
• When you do, you wake up suddenly, absolutely sure you heard someone breaking the charter.
• You have to bring it everywhere with you because it always needs feeding.
• Your social life is destroyed.
• Everything it does is huge news and has to be shared with everyone.
• And of course you have to have the 'baby on board(s)' sign on your car.

Well done John, good luck with it :cool:

johngalway

Cheers guys

No foxing stories at the minute, but I do have an account of what I was up to over the weekend over on the Outdoor Pursuits forum

RRPC,

All those points are scarily true It was the last thing I expected to be quite honest about it! Thanks for the good wishes

greenpeter

Well done boss;)

Remarkably accurate, but you forgot the obvious nappy-related points! :pac:
