Brian Thats a typical response I'd expect from a taffy I'm sure you won't be missed Russell Portsmouth UK >>[ A UUEncoded file was included here. ] >>[ original filename, "lucky.zip" ] >Is this sort of IRRESPONSIBLE POST common to this group? - if so I'm >off!!. >--

Irresponsible? I'm sure the original poster would like to know what is so irresponsible about his/her post. If anything your post is 90% his/hers. You've tacked on two lines and kept his/her original post. Now thats irresponsible. If people like Brian Matthews are common on this NG, I'm off! BTW Eros, your replay is well worth the 30seconds it took to come down... >Is this sort of IRRESPONSIBLE POST common to this group? - if so I'm >off!!. >--

I notice YOU are using the same FICTITIOUS email address as the original poster, who also attached a VERY LARGE file to his/her email. LARGE UNSOLICITED ATTACHMENTS SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO NEWS GROUPS PARTICULARLY WHEN USING A DUBIOUS EMAIL ADDRESS. THIS HAS VIRUS WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!! --

You've completely missed the point, but then again YOU ARE a 'Southern Softie'. LARGE (unsolicited) attachments, particularly from DUBIOUS email addresses should NEVER be posted to Newsgroups!! If you are happy to receive such files, you deserve to catch all the viruses currently around!!. --

First off I appologize for posting an enormous, 36kb, virus free, zipped .RPY file in this group. Second, well, there is no second. I'm sorry. I've posted this file at alt.binaries.simulators.autos for anyone interested. I was not aware that NG existed, however ignorance is no excuse. Once again, I apologize to anyone whom I've offended Sorry Brian for pissing you off.

"Taffy" in the UK refers to a Welshman, derived from the Welsh river Taff, and is not necessarily classed as "name calling". Scotsmen are "Jocks" - Irishmen are "Paddies" - English (southerners) are just PLAIN SOFT!! (mainly in the head) ;-) Hope the above adds to your collection ;-) --

Hey Paul Whats a "Goggy" ? and are you one? >> Thats a typical response I'd expect from a taffy >He's not a Taffy, he's a Goggy but what would you know......either way he >has a good point. >***y arrogant English....

On Fri, 8 Jan 1999 17:40:48 +0000, Brian Matthews >Is this sort of IRRESPONSIBLE POST common to this group? - if so I'm >off!!. Geez, lighten up. The guy made a mistake, perhaps if you bothered to enlighten him on what he had done wrong he would know for next time. This group is generally fairly tolerant of peoples opinions and the occasional ignorant mistake, newbies of otherwise, lets try to keep it that way. AB

I got gpl just before Xmas and have really enjoyed it a lot. I have a bronze foundry and have had the pleasure over the last year of casting Jim Clark, Colin Chapman, Roger Clark and Mike Halewood all for Mallory Park race track. Yesterday we installed Roger Clark and I had the good fortune of talking to some of the guys working there who told me a little about the drivers. Seeing the Lotus Sign and all the drivers I almost felt as if I knew them myself from playing the game and working on their statues. It was a good day. After returning to Edinburgh a 8 hr drive I fired gpl up and jumped into the Lotus and drove Monza and got my fastest lap 1.29.25 my previous best was 1.33 maybe those drivers of yesteryear were helping me. Just a nice thought. Which brings me to 2 questions 1. is it possible to design a track of Mallory for GPL 2. when using Allison's Aitweaks all the drivers are in the same cars and they don't have names is this right. I also found by studying Wolfgang Woegers fast laps have really helped my lap times. The main way they have helped is I noticed that he was coming out of the bends in 3rd when I was using 2nd which has increased my speed quite a lot and stopped me spinning my wheels quite so easily. TIA for any input Quinn

Taffy comes from the river Taff that runs through Cardiff in South Wales and refers to people from South Wales. Goggy comes from the Welsh word for North and refers to people from North Wales. Both terms are depreciatory (spelling?). I come from the South, so I suppose I am a Taffy. Paul

Is it really worth it? What was that about you leaving the NG? -- Graeme Nash (London, England) http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824

In view of your geographical location, I'm sure my warning regarding running LARGE UNSOLICITED FILES posted to Newsgroups from a DUBIOUS email address, will have completely passed you bye, but hopefully, MORE RESPONSIBLE readers may have found this information of some use. --

Shouldn't primary school kids be supervised whilst on the 'net? Cheers! Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824 1998 Xoom GP2 League Champion

On the other hand he didn't fire the first shot. That came from Russell Gasper who called him a Taffy. That's pure racism. Paul

Woops sorry, It was only meant as a joke! I like Wales, my parents live there.

No worries :-) You should use :-) or <g> signs to indicate that you're joking - abiguity of emotions can cause unintended offence. Cheers, Paul
