I'm not confused George. I think if you bothered to read you will find I said that Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. What part of that confuses you?
I read that. Your comment implied that because Northern Ireland is not part of GB (which is too obvious to mention), a person from NI should not be considered British.

So, it appeared that you didn't know what Great Britain means, and that you didn't know Northern Ireland was part of Britain.

Hence my desire to help you out!

Despite what you think George, we are not all idiots who look up to your genius. Quite why you are unable to make a single comment on this forum which is not demeaning, condescending or insulting is beyond me.

I know perfectly well what I said and I said what I meant and meant what I said. You really ought to try acting like a mature, sensible adult for once rather than constantly trying to start arguments.

If you look up the page you will see that Pentaxophile has kindly pointed out what you meant, and I am now enlightened.

He is much better at reading minds than I am. I tend to look for meaning in the words, and therefore on occasion come unstuck.

No, no slanging matches please. Just think how upset the OP would be if the thread got locked just before it reached page 500....

Well done, Stefan. Quick change of subject.

I would suspect it would be many tens of thousands, if not more.

I wouldn't be that cruel, not even if it was 1st April, it would be too cruel even for a short time as a April Fool joke.

Stay cool

Has anybody asked Hardgravity what equipment he (judging by the profile photo) used to stack the original 2 tons of wood that started this thread? Let's hope a forklift wasn't involved - that would make this whole thread feel like a bit of a sham.

Surely there are enough geeks out there who would enjoy seeing it locked at 511 (or maybe 510 for certain types of geek).

No record for a topic on a forum though.
We are at 7,476 so still have some comments to go...
