I think we must thank our delightful Lady Mel for the Woosie Corporate Colours.
I shall liaise with Sir Gagakev WC Bar and establish where's the best place to source the Knights and Ladies T shirts.
We have a number of excellent designs which will look brilliant at our Pageant at Stowfolot. We'll knock up a short list of designs for all Dame , Ladies and Knights to vote on.
Of course we must remember that our Honourable Editor Monsieur Nigel Donnelly Esquire , yet to be admitted to the Woosie Round Table is our Host and we must invite him to a bog side seat at our festive games.

King DD we must all be aware that the settlement at Stowfolot has already been infiltrated by other members of the commoners community, so by inviting the above mentioned we have to be extra vigilant and not let any of our agendas/policies pass over to the commoners, would suggest they are guarded at all times around the table.

Thank you for the advice, but no joy, the cat keeps coming back. I have also tried re-booting the PC and deleting browsing history and cookies. Lisa also had the problem according to one of her postings, but in the end was successful.

Sir WC when I changed my avatar just like you I was losing my rag!
It was on the old forum set up but it may also be the same on this new one.
It can take some time to activate, left the new one on and it didnt appear until the next day, worth a try.
Good luck my fellow knight.

The avatar is in a local folder on my PC and have tried deleting the old one and adding link to new one several times this morning. I will wait overnight to see if the new one appears tomorrow.

My dear Lady Di Di, if you ladies want to have a lady I really cant see a problem,in fact its quite a good idea, think it was me who mis read your thoughts.
It may well be possible to use your actual avatar, if you are happy to do this and want to send me a copy of the photo just ask Parksy for my email and ask him to read this so he will know it's OK, send it on and we can have a look.
All ideas are welcome the more the merrier. Keep thinking folks

I've deleted your old avatar, (I hope, the account edit for such things can be a bit hit and miss unfortunately) remember that the new one can only be 100x75 in order for it to load.

I am posting to confess to an un-woosie act. Even though the thought of driving and towing a caravan terrifies me, I fought my fear and did the towing taster at the Manchester show. OK it was only 15 minutes and I was coached by an advanced driver person, but I was nonetheless petrified on setting out. My fear did settle as time went on. Do you realise that the caravan actually just follows the car
. It was a revelation.
I apologise for this act of bravery and for letting down the Woosie club. Can I say that I am still woosing out on towing our van anywhere yet but I might be persuaded into a towing course.
Abject grovellings.

Hiya woosies.
Just another true little story to see if I can test the strength of the stomachs of the genuine woosies amongst us. It’s an old story but never the less – true.
Just to set the scene.
About 30 years ago we were booked in a rally for Easter weekend. A week or two before the rally the rally marshal (wife’s cousin) rang us to ask us if we would co- marshal for him as his regular one had had to withdraw. We hadn’t done any rally marshalling before, and to do one you of your own you had to be an assistant first. So we looked upon this as a good opportunity to serve our apprenticeship. Most things had already been sorted and organised however we did have a short meeting one evening to be told what was going on, and all I needed to take was a spade and a shovel, the purpose of which will become clear.
The date duly arrived and we went the day before to set up. Now it was along tow (about 3miles). The site is in lovely parkland, and we parked among an avenue of trees, plenty of good walks and 2 fishing lakes.
The purpose of the shovel and spade became clear as we had to dig “The Pit” (Loo emptying point, for the uninitiated) this was done in a small area of woodland away from the caravans. The first comment from the marshal was “I always mean to remember where last years was, but I can’t remember again, so if it’s a bit soft stop digging it’s where last years was!” anyway we missed last years. Now when you think that this was to be the sanitary arrangements for 100/120 vans with an average of at least 3 per van, therefore the”pit” needed to be quite large. It was duly dug and fenced on 3 sides. On with the rally. The rally ran from Thursday pm. to Monday pm. So most vans were already emptying the first round by Saturday morning, including himself. Took the loo and the “pit” appeared to behaving quite well with the liquids draining away nicely and ‘solids’ settled to the bottom.
Come Monday most people start packing up. Of course the “pit” is in great demand for the final emptyings before the homeward journeys. When folks gone it’s the marshals turn, so loos and shovels to the pit, only to find it brimful obviously the final deluge had tested the absorbency of the soil and ‘waterlogged” it. It was full to the top with like a green blue lagoon with things sanitary, things sexual, and things, floating. Just enough freeboard to ease ours in. but no how could we possibly start filling it in. We would have been overflowing it and paddling in it! Decision taken to come back and fill it in after work the next day. When it had settled back and we could back fill it. Not a pretty sight but a “job” well done.
See I’m a bit of an imposter Woosie really!
Excuse the length of posting but I hope it sets the scene nicely.
