Hi,
Have been sitting on the side-lines for a while, finally decided to give it a whirl..

Welcome to the forum, Gipsy.  There are plenty of Brits on the board to make you feel at home.  You might tell us what you are looking for and what questions you may have so that we might offer such guidance as we are able.

Again, welcome aboard!

Hi Gypsy,

welcome

Judging by 'I'm English' and some other comments you've made about living in Russia, I'd say we'll 'bump heads' a few times in the future...  :chuckle:

Hello and welcome Gibsy.

Do we by any chance know each other?

I would suggest that although we probably know of each other, we do not actually know each other.

Don't waste too much of you declining brain power thinking about it old chap, you may completely lose you're marbles..

OH sorry, they are already in a British Museum.

Well Gypsy, and I think Wiz will say he thinks little of me, you seem to a totally different sort of poster than the standard Limmie sort. Perhaps the master of impertinent questions and snide insults fits? Perhaps you can exchange insights with AndyFi and the two of you can form a tag team, but FiFi has allot to teach you, so read and take notes.

In the meantime please keep on contributing those useful posts.

Aw, come on Av. What are you getting so uptight about? I think Gypsys posts are a refreshing change from the normal excruciations posted.
Btw, Gypsy and Fi are worlds apart in style and content IMHO.

Oh dear,

This is the second time that you have called me "impertinent", only this time, you have added "snidey" .

Is this how you give your knowledge and experience to all new posters here, by posting such inflammatory comments, if so, I'm not surprised that some never return.

Anyway, its nice to know that you like and admire me so much, thank you.

P.s. I am not into "Tag teams".

Don't worry Gipsy, AvHdB used to be much nicer. I think he is going through some kind of emotional turmoil. He will return to normal at some time when he gets his demons under control.

Your last comment ..... gave away (to me) ..... of who you are. 

Sure many people would like his first hand experience and wit unlike the same boring comments we see daily over here, especially from the trolls that have not even visited the FSU.
