Cool BAUT Forum - Tykes Shed crossover

I also post at another forum called Tykes Shed which is quite simple, and you do not need to register. It used to consist of a bunch of us who discussed matters concerning UK Channel 4, Big Brother and other matters pertaining to the UK.

In recent time traffic has been slow, so I thoought I would try a cross over thread, so you guys can vist the shed, and if we are lucky posters from the shed might come here.

Play nice

(You do not even have to register there to post)

I got disqualed for typing "color".

What the heck is the true "colour" of a limey anyway?

Think I'll go and heat up some cream of leek soup, that's what!

'Disqualed' meaning you got kicked off the site??

Not yet. However I always get the feeling on British sites that they don't like Amuricunized English. So, for me, it was an automatic (pre-)disqual.

Nevertheless, since Sticks suggested it, it is probably a fair-playing BB, so I've now posted a question:

Will I get kicked off if I use the word "color" (i.e., that particular spelling)?
No responses so far, either in favour or against.

It takes a while as the traffic on that bb is not as great as it once was, hence the thread, "Large Cavenous Echo"

Meanwhile time to find the shed that houses the telescope. Or is that "two sheds"?

Thanks, Sticks.

I take it "Topics" there is the same as "Threads" here. So to find topics having to do with astronomy one must scan them all, at least by title. Correct?

Something like that. Yiu can arrange the topics by date order or alphabetical. Unfortunately as it is a simple forum there is no search facility.

Can some of you have another look at this forum and in particular the "This topic is for feedback on my VB6 to Basic Stamp project" thread

As the site owner would like an engineer's view of his project
