Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / February 2004Help re Insurance
Last October I asked for your current Public Risk etc cover costs through your National Association.I need your kind help again please. You see, I'm fronting up next Wednesday to argue a case for using "off shore" Public Liability Insurance for model aircraft pilots. When I went to my Word files and then to my "sent mail" in OE., I discovered that these files (with the info gleaned from my Pommy mates last Oct) had walked, since my system collapsed just before Christmas. I can assure you I was shocked with the loss of so much stuff, since this was the first time I've needed to check back on data prior to Christmas and since September that year (prior September 03 everything is on CD thank heavens) So, all I need is the current fees you jokers pay plus the Insurer's name(s). Whilst on this subject, I'm also interested in the USA., and Canada costs and Insurers if any ng visitors read this. Not a lot to ask from an old digger is it? :-) And thanks in anticipation... DN  SignaturenigREMOVEnog1@bigpond.com All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Edmund Burke 1729 - 1797 and Sir Hartley Shawcross Chief Prosecutor for the United Kingdom at Nuremberg Martin Luther King: "Our lives begin to end when we become silent about things that matter." Jokers? We get a good deal for our insurance with the BMFA, our national body. So f.ck off.

Much like "bastards", in the sentence "Which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?" it has a variable meaning. In the contect in which it was used, it was not an insult. Nind you, if he says "You jokers are be a bunch of bastards", neither jokers or bastards in that sentence would be nice. Remember he's foreign, and can't speak English as it was intended. I, too, am foreign, originating from the colonies myself, but 20 years in Britain has taught me to interpret. I can even speak Yorkshire, which is probably more than many of you ;-) Still, he does carry strine to irritating and absurd lengths, so I can see why you were narked. Most people in Australia don't speak like that, and almost noone ever writes like that. I think he does it for dramatic effect. Ho hum. Trev >> Jokers?

Ho hum. > > Trev You are quite right Trev - I'm suitably chastised ;-) Most Oz folk I mix with are well travelled, educated and have a bob or two. Among them are those who like to speak 'proper' English and those, like me, who don't give a bugger and talk the way we feel for the occasion. If, when I appear professionally, I speak 'proper' you understand, but on those frequent occasions (now I'm retired, or trying to be) I mix with 'real' people in the Bush, who have more humanity in their little fingers than all the others put together. Their expressive language, like the Cockneys or the Geordies (?) is fun to listen to and to engage in, round a BBQ or camp fire. They, my bush mates, by and large, own very little (although I know several multi millionaires among this mob) but own decency, gratitude, humour, honesty and generosity in big measure. That's where I'm coming from. Sorry to those who find my gibes and language 'over the top' ; but on reflection, go and bite your bum LOL DN > <SNIP> > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > to those who find my gibes and language 'over the top' ; but on reflection, > go and bite your bum LOL DN, I know where your coming from, and one of me best mates ever came from there to. Taught me plenty about all what you just said, even tho he was a Sydney slicker. You just keep right on with it mate. > DN <SNIP> ; but on reflection, > > go and bite your bum LOL > DN, I know where your coming from, and one of me best mates ever came > from there to.

Everone is so kind :-) (I'll get round to answering those e-mails soon) Glad you rubbed shoulders with and made friends with a Sydney ite TNP. Despite what many say about Sydney folk, they are mostly friendly and frank people. Why, even my ol Lady is a Sydney Shelia and my first born in one to. Both tough as a buffalo's hide, but will give you their last shilling if they had too. Best memories of Sydney (a looooong time ago) was going to a pub near the wharves one Friday lunch time to find a raffle in full swing. On the counter was a chook and a 'bird'. You guessed it - if you won the raffle you had a choice... Sydney is more sophisticated now and not quite as much fun. DN > Jokers? We get a good deal for our insurance with the BMFA, our national > body. So f.ck off. Get yourself an education you loser. Your aphorism to me, speaks volums for your social merits. You, apparatchik, will wonder one day, why the world passed you by. You might just as well be on the next spacecraft to mars for all the use you are here LOL (well you asked for 'proper' english didn't you? But, if you want an Oz translation just ask):-) DN Hiya DN, Never mind those old tossers, they obviously hav'nt cottoned on to your aussie sense of humour yet. (forgot how to laugh at themselves probably). Our BMFA fees are £23 for big Cobbers and £13 for little Cobbers. The underwriters are Sun Alliance (I think) > Last October I asked for your current Public Risk etc cover costs through > your National Association.I need your kind help again please.

The > underwriters are Sun Alliance (I think) <SNIP> Thanks Nick - you've come through again ! Never mind those old tossers you say - well it takes all sorts to make the world the way it is. Can't get upset with uninformed and humourless folk can we? Trouble is Nick, my old man said to us as kids "to offend anyone accidentally, was more grievous than doing it deliberately" Never quite understood that, but a glimmer pokes through with some of the replies from this ng's 'children' ;-) Could be something in it after all do you think? I owe you a beer DN |
