Just a thought about having The Engineer Forum; not all great ideas are immediately recognized as such. (remember the K-Tel Patty Stacker?) You will relent though once the tidal wave of support from the MLU community crashes your server with un-ending posts decrying your denial of what could be MLU's finest hour!

Remember! Never had so much been built by so few with so little so so many could access so much to do their little bit, which was part of the big effort in their little part of the battle for want of a nail, a plank was lost, for want of a plank, a bridge was lost, for want of a bridge, a beer shipment was late which we band, we band of besotted brothers in what was not the end, nor the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning which in full voice we with the long mustaches and in a monotonous langour cried," WE SHALL RETURN the empties!"


If that doesn't stir you to action Bye, nuthin' will!

Wow!, Derek! Well done post. Looks like literary plagarism is your forte.

How many books of reference did you plow through to string together the above rambling dissertation?

Speaking of Engineers...do you recollect Ed Storey, a fairly frequent lurker in this and other military forums? How about Roy Bowers?

Chimo!

Well, he's an Engineer, ain't he? Their original brains are now preserved in brine-filled jars (little ones), so this is what's left.

Books? What books? You know Engineers only read the comics.
Plagarism? Isn't that a big word like marmalade?

I would never plagarize my posts, in my request for an Engineer Forum I wasn't asking what MLU can do for me, I was asking what I can do for MLU.
As for my dissertation, we all know the importance of remembering history as those who fail to remember the past are doomed to be forgetful!

CHIMO!

I remember Ed as his last post was fairly recent, he had the petrol can with the Cyrillic stencilling on it. I have to admit, I don't remember Roy Bowers, has he posted recently?

Derek, let me get my thoughts in order this weekend (I've been a busy boy of late) and I'll give you an answer on your base proposal.

Whatever you decide, I appreciate your considering the idea. Go Home, take your shoes off, kick back and enjoy a few cold beers, hot women, or Scotch neat.

It shall be Scotch-Broth and fake beer or a Cuppa tea for the Master Jefe,
but as for the hot women, you never know what the Master can get up to in his spare time

Thought i'd wait untill the "Tidal wave of support" subsided somewhat before adding my vote {are we allowed to vote } for a gingerbeer forum. I am very interested in, but not overly knowlegable about, all things RE, REME Etc.
