Maybe you are related or know Papal Knight - the original ?? If you are here to mock him or impersonate him you will be defenestrated

Yup. The same. Had technical problems with my computer that meant I cannot access the old account.

Jesus, things must be bad if you have to cut back on new names.

We'll recycle it and turn it into a fine new username for someone.

If he went through as many computers as names then why did dell close down

paulk this our Aloha thread - you're welcome to MN ...


here's some stuff from our Charter for you to peruse while you're having your tay.

Message to New Members

You are welcome and will abide by the Charter lest ye be flung into the outer darkness. The Charter being in essence 'Love your neighbour's Machinery as you do your own and have patience if you feel the person with whom you are communicating still has a lower grade mobile phone than you.'

Enjoy your stay here - there is plenty to be done so if you feel like rolling up your sleeves then you are welcome but if you want to relax then there are all sorts of places here to do your R&R in.

Good Posting

C1 • Before posting a new thread - check carefully if there is already a thread on the subject.
C2 • When you start a new thread, give it a brief heading that says what it is about.
C3 • Back up your argument with facts: add links to back-up data.
C4 • If posting on someone else's thread, read back over the posts and stick to the original point.
C5 • Use the clearest wording you can.
C6 • Avoid name calling, belittlement and bullying as it undermines debate and is hurtful.
C7 • Members are encouraged to avoid expressions of anger, intolerance and impatience when addressing one another as primarily we are here to assess and analyse information, not one another.
C8 • In the case of severe personal intolerance of a member who is otherwise broadly accepted you may use the 'friend or foe' function found in your profile to avoid contact with that member.
C9 • If in doubt, count to at least 30 and think again before you post.
C10 • if you have a problem with a poster, pm a mod.
C11 • Please do not quote previous posts unnecessarily in the interests of readability.
C12 • Please don’t use animated avatars as they are a visual distraction in threads.

Cupan tae, agus? Failte romhat!

The way things are going, we'll have people joining just to get the cup of tea.

Our 24/7 happy hour in the Sibín is drawing them in as well.

Tá fáilte romhat M3lover !!

That's about as far as I'm going with my irish attempts today but feel free to continue if you want.

There's a set of posting guidelines here in Irish and English, which was composed by numerous members of the site. It's our Charter and we try to adhere to it mostly.

Here is some AS GAEILGE for example - the welcome bit :

Teachtaireacht do bhaill nua an Fhóraim

Tá fáilte is fiche romhaibh, is cloífidh sibh leis an gCairt seo, nó caithfear isteach sa duibheagán seachtrach sibh. Is éard is bunchiall leis an gCairt ná 'Bíodh an grá céanna agat d'inneallra do chomharsan is atá agat do d'inneallra féin, is bíodh foighne ort má airíonn tú go bhfuil guthán póca níos seanaimseartha ná an ceann is agatsa ag an té lena bhfuil tú i mbun cumarsáide.

Bain sult as do thamall anseo- tá neart le déanamh, mar sin, más mian leat dul i mbun dian-oibre, bíodh agat is fáilte, ach má tá tú faoi ualach scíthe, tá gach saghas áite ann inár féidir leat í a ligean.

The Charter is here.

Your free cuppa tay on registering :



Mint is apparently good for the bowels ... hope yours are fine.

Happy posting and thanks for registering with Machine Nation!

Hi redstar1916 and yourclever; you're both very welcome.

Cup of tea? The Charter is in the Welcome Forum.

Come to think of it I never did claim this cuppa. No time like the present I suppose.

I suppose it's gone cold now though?

Tea doesn't go cold here

Aha, so this is where everybody went!

fenris reporting for duty

Good morning fenris. Welcome to MN.

Grab yourself a cup of tea and have a look over the charter.

Fenris? The Norse wolf God, associated with the moon?

How interesting.

Hi fenris. Tea? We have a thread devoted to the full moon here. You should feel at home.

Our Charter is here. You are relied on to post wisely and well.

With milk and in a mug, just right, thank you!

You're very welcome ! Hopefully you've found your decent forum anyway. All colours and types here at the moment - especially Black with the depression. Ah we'll lift out of it as we go posting pictures of edible wild foods in the Spring, don't worry.

I knew a Liam who was born in Drogheda and lived in Dublin for five years! He was a brilliant man - don't know where he lives now though, Did you emigrate recently to Florida ? You must miss the tay - sit down and have a nice cup of electronic Barry's or Lyons tay and don't forget there's a good Music section here in "Vibes and Scribes" as you look like a music fan.

Thanks for joining!
