bernardmcilwaine Posted 28 May , 2005 Share Posted 28 May , 2005 i have noticed that quite a lot of folks on the forum dont list their interests,i dont mean their other ones,i mean their particular ww1 interests,if they are just into ww1 why not display it,when i came on the forum 5 weeks ago the first thing i concentrated on was,finding out who else was like minded,its a big help to know who to go to if you have a querie on your own field,what ime driving at is this,if i need help with something on the m/c regt i know that john hartley and harribob are fruit cakes like me plus a couple of other members who have a small interest in the regt,if its war graves,terry denham,etc etc,some of the guilty ones carry high rank,why not display you particular field of interest they wont shoot you for it,and while ime grubbleing,is there any more on here who are into the man regt,bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie Posted 28 May , 2005 Share Posted 28 May , 2005 It's not a secret, I'm just shy Maybe I didn't want to put up my interests on account if my project fails then noone will know Are men like women about their age?

ypres1418 Posted 28 May , 2005 Share Posted 28 May , 2005 Ask me about my age but do not ask about my weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must go on that diet!!!!!!!!!!!!! 44 and looking older each day the kids don't tidy-up!!!! Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted 28 May , 2005 Share Posted 28 May , 2005 Wow how can Bernard have 300 posts in such a short time??? I've been a member for over a year and have notched up a measley 74 or something... However I have listed my interests.... Having said that though, they change every other day- I start a new book, on say a particular regiment, which may then lead me off to read about the home front, and thence to the war at sea, then to the merchant navy, then to ships, then to aeroplanes, etc etc etc... I'm all over the place, really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypres1418 Posted 28 May , 2005 Share Posted 28 May , 2005 Richard you and me both, I know nothing of Jutland but reading through my Daily Mail disc now has me wondering about that! Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardmcilwaine Posted 28 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 28 May , 2005 richard,there are two reasons for all my posts,the 1st is,that when i first came on,i went on docs and ref books and in my naivety i listed about 20books for look ups,thinking thats what i was supposed to do,and ive been looking up ever since,i have actually only been on 3 and a half weeks,because after the 1st two nights i could not get back on,till i realised i was trying to access the old site,the other reason is i talk to much,bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie Posted 29 May , 2005 Share Posted 29 May , 2005 OK, Bernard, you've shamed me into editing my profile. Now as to my birthday. I WAS BORN ON APRIL FOOL'S DAY, now you know my worst secret! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDick Posted 29 May , 2005 Share Posted 29 May , 2005 Easiest thing is to put your interests in your signature (at base of message) rather than have to click on their profiles. Some of my own interests border on the criminal so I cannot put those... Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardmcilwaine Posted 29 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 29 May , 2005 hello again folks,what i mean is,that many people list nothing at all,eg,i know dirty dick[richard]is interested in subs,if something unusual or unpublished came up all i have to do is go straight to him and tell him,you cant do this with someone who puts nothing what so ever on their profile,bernard ps thanks for agreeing with me you lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
