People are putting all sorts of flags and emblems on their vehicles, these days, though Argent, a cross gules, flapping from the windows is getting a little tedious. Some sort of sporting event looms, I suppose.
I'm inclined more to Sable, in chief seven mullets above a tree argent.
But what insignia would you put on your Land Rover?
To paraphrase Blackadder,
'. . .two dead jap motors atop a pile of dead jap motors. . .'
Even better would be a massive oil slick very similar to the one the Disco left on my drive after one week. I'm gonna nickname it the 'Torrey Canyon' or the 'Amoco Cadiz' .......Oh, but you chaps already have oil slicks!!!!
;~)
Nige
Oh well....
Can we tone down the language...some of us are sensitive.....
I have had yellow "Camel Trophy 1989" with a long forgotten insignia on the doors of mine since that date. They have now faded to plain white.

Where did he start swearing? Have I missed something?

If you don't want to read a persons postings anymore you can add them to your killfile. If your Mac version of Outlook Express works the same as my Windows version you select a post from the offending individual and then Message, Block Sender from the top toolbar. It then deletes their previous posts and blocks any new ones. Most other newsreaders have similar functions.

I have a rebuild under way at the moment, and the insigna will be a Rainbow flag, with the words "Aunty Kev" beneath is

The Mac version of Outlook is slightly different. You have to go to tools i the top bar and open up the rules. Go to news and create a new rule. I've just tried it and it works.
Wheeee, a good ol' fashioned flame war, and in true tradition, following a post intended to inject a little humour, fantastic one to follow through over the weekend!
(If I were gonna be here, that is...)
S*it, does that mean I can't tell Sheffield City Council to f*ck off any more, and report it here?
On a slightly more serious note (I can, at times), this isn't worth it.
Usenet is, by default, a mature media. Children should NOT be encouraged to use usenet IMO, so language is subjective (even more so if kids use usenet, as they know better swearwords than us oldies).
Let's try to put all of this nastiness behind us, as petrolheads united, a big group hug, Nige included, and on the count of three, a big deep breath, let calm flow over us and release, collectively kicking him in the bollocks...
...two, three...
There, feel better?
Typical Microsoft! They can't even make different versions of their own software that works the same way! :)

I should really have a look at a different e-mail/news browser, but to be honest, outlook has always done what it was supposed to do(most of the time)and because I just can't be bothered to!

Now that could be *very* useful ;-)
Thanks for the info.
No, but they do make different versions of their own software that is broken the same way... :-)
Neither, apparently, does it offer an easy way to snip the content of the post to which you're replying, eh? ;-)
Dunno about insignia, but equal wording could be applied to all mine:
"My other Landies are just as bad as this one"
Hmm... insignia though, dunno, maybe crossed petrol nozels over a jerry can?
