    Flippin eck, that 5 years went quick. I remember well when your yellow cape was new and crisp. I also seem to remember the orange pants were red back then, obviously over used and faded to orange now

    Well done and thanks for your stint in the lounge but you do realise you've got to buy your own biscuits now

    I can't add anything to what Paddy says.

    All the very best Gareth.

    Hi Gareth, I don't blame you really. It's a major commitment by you and your fellow Mods. Without wishing to sound condescending I have admired your sense of fair-play in your duties as a Mod (or Rocker) and we all thank you.

    Lay back, think of England and have fun.

    Best wishes Phil.

    ps, I corrected your post for you.

    hand back my yellow cape and orange over-pants (reckon I’ll piss them, the most ??? )

    Best wishes Gareth, and thank you for all your efforts with the forum.
    Is there such a thing as owning too many guns?

    Very sorry to hear this Gareth - though pleased for you, of course.

    You have always been the more moderate of the Mods and your steadying influence has, I am sure, helped to maintain a balanced approach to the difficult task of maintaining order.

    I hope that you will continue to make your valuable contributions to the "Gentleman's" section as a regular BBS member.

    ATB,
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.

    I'll second this
