We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

Well if you meant definition then I guess I understand what you mean by that French teachers phrase. I'm satisfied that I have explained things sufficiently. I can't help you beyond that, if you don't accept it that's fine.

I'm not trying to have a go at you or anything, or even criticise what you were saying. You and Besoeker mearly seemed to be talking at cross purposes without realising it. Now everyone seems to be in agreement, shall we all go for a drink together?

Whether we agree or otherwise, we can still be sociable and go for a drink - you are buying aren't you?

Ahh the charm of a lady, if I may so. Not a problem, it's not for a moment worth the expended energy going on and on about it, without transacting an agreeable conclusion, when there are far more significant issues to discuss. Are you shouting ? .... the plane ticket that is.

I'll fork out for fares crossing water but you'll have to cycle over the land bits. How about we meet up in Africa or India? They look to be about half way.

If I'm paying to transport we can take it in turns to get the rounds in.
