I think it's only just midday in Cuba - they're 5 hours behind us.

Really? Speak for yourself. Mostly when threads go off horribly at a tangent it starts to look nasty - I see little good in that. If you do I guess that's your viewpoint; I'm just glad I'm not...

You are completely misrepresenting Foiling Around. I have checked and I think you will find he called you a 'complete *****' not a 'total ******'!
:-)

Please Gav would you be so kind as to move all the computer-talk to another thread.

Thank you

If you give an 8 year old a size 0 blade, a small group of other youngsters to learn with, and an appropriate coach why would they be too young?

Sensible decision! I'm uncomfortable when I think of the possible directions that this thread might take; it could be horribly unfair, and potentially hurtful, to discuss the possible future of these...

no :( We're left to hope!

For some reason, I don't know why, 1984 popped into my mind
'Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'

In my mind I see a massive car-crash with a...

What we need now are some more 21st century moments :)

This was timely! Anyone listening to Gus O'Donnell's programme on radio 4 this morning would have heard him quote Sir Humphrey's view of how ministers ought not nail their colours to the mast; they...

Chris likes to plan ahead; that's probably the reason that he runs the best competitions around.

Ice Sheffield is only over the road from EIS! Do you think they'll let us on the ice? And more importantly do you think they'll let the fencers wear those lovely spangley suits the skaters wear...

At least they're asking for feedback. That's got to be a [small] step in the right direction. Ranking things through to 11 is a bit of a nonsense to be honest; people generally feel strongly about...

Thanks bufc99 - you have stronger powers of perserverance and observation than me. I stupidly followed the link that said 'click here for instructions on joining as a new member or renewing your...

How can I find out how much BF membership costs? Somebody from club has just asked me, and without having to enter in a whole load of registration detail is there anywhere on the BF website with that...

Isn't this suggestion a little bit like the long-ago abandoned development ranking?

that was great and certainly cheered me but sometimes men you need to leave your hat on!

I got my Bauers all mixed up and for an over-excited moment thought that you were all talking about Jack Bauer. I don't really know anything about Christian Bauer (not such a great fencing enthusiast...

To misquote a little: He's not a prophet he's a very naughty boy!

OK this isn't built yet, and is about an hour north of Northampton but it does have great transport links to M1 and M6, so if you're forward planning for 2014/15 it may be worth exploring. You...

Jon maybe there's a surcharge for the healthy aroma of chlorine that follows swimmers around..... or perhaps the chlorine has rotted the brains of those that swim regularly, or have done so in the...

Interesting talk-in and interview with a representative of Sport England on Radio 4's You and Yours. Probably available on the Listen Again service for those who miss the initial braodcast.

I think this is one of those occasions that calls for a hot beverage!:)
