I realise that on this forum I have a cast of thousands to choose from but I want a particular old git. The old git I'm looking for sent me this: ....and I'd just like to say "It made me laugh and Thank You".
That's the most ridiculous reply I've ever seen on any forum, ever. How on earth is a Herring (with no reversible thumb) going to hold a pen. That's not even considering the question of where it would get the pen from in the first place, to say nothing of how it managed to keep the paper dry while writing the letter (with its flippers presumably). Don't even start me on the question of how it managed to survive out of water for long enough to get to a post office. Even if it managed that (frankly impossible) task a herring is at best 8 inches long so even balanced on its tail how would it attract the attention of the post office lady? I respect your desire to join in the conversation but you really need to consider your replies a little more carefully Mr J. dubbin otherwise everyone will think you're a bit silly.
I think it is @WoodyLubber. If you look carefully at his post, he is reminiscing about times long ago when things were good! - definite sign of an old git
Looks like a Triumph herald convertible with a hard top, nice toy and rust free, not many of the real ones about!
It's a great place, I'm looking forward to it. We need to get some more old gits along for that weekend.
