I feel sort of responsible for all this...I commented on one of Neil's posts (which had been locked) and it all kicked off again.

Martin...and everybody, especially Neil, if it was down to me, then I publicly apologise.

One day I'll learn to engage brain before hitting the keyboard.

As Dave (Stavros) says Neil will be back when HE feels like it.No finger has been pointed at anyone who has tried to apologise on this thread,and will  not be.He is a man who calls a spade a spade,and is not afraid of doing so,which has on occasions upset people.Anyone who wants to contact him can always send him a PM via this site.He is already missed even after 2 weeks,but dont hold your breath as they say!
Lets start a petition......
COME BACK NEIL,WE MISS YOU!

I awoke one night ....a few evenings back to hear the sounds of chains & keys gangling so thought  :o..that's OK.....Neil is out of the brig

ok2...rumor has it that our OZ Primb Mynister has granted Neil a temporary Knighthood to match the one he gave Phil

So when he doth return to here......all of us mere mortals must refer to him as Sir Neil  {-) .......Derek

I think he had a problem hiring a big enough skip in which to tip the er excess from his shed.Rumour has it when they found a landfill site big enough,and tipped it,Neil was seen the next day searching through it for his missing Chuck key!

Well folks,
 
 I am back after serving my penal sentence of 30 days in Jankers, and am actually amazed at the amount of building work I have done on the model and housework I have too, lol.
 
Never knew how time consuming writing a build log was, and can now understand why some eminent members only ever post to contradict others,and don't get down to building anything themselves. Lol
 
With this in mind, this post will be the last on this thread that I will make as it would take me too long to write the catch ups from where I left off, to where I  am now. However should anyone wish to read what has been done to the model in the last 30 days, then they can go to here.....   
 
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1974468&page=16#post30550244
 
And here.....
 
http://www.thercmodelboatforum.com/t701p100-jupiter-a-caledonian-macbrayne-ferry#8937

And if they have anything they wish to ask me, they can either email or PM me on here or ask on the other two forums.
 
I am now going to slide into a life of obscurity.
 
However, I would just like to tell you all a little story and happening in my life, that happened a few years ago and which until now only very few of my closest friends have known.
 
I  had written a good number of articles, both as reviews and freelance of scratch build models for model boating magazines, when an editor of one of them, rang me up one day and asked if it was true that I was out of work and looking for something different.It was also after I had helped Frank Hinchliffe develop and design his first 3 model kits for Mountfleet Models.
 
The answer of yes, prompted him to tell me that as yet not known in public circles he was going to retire within a period of time, and wondered, because of my style of writing, and my educated background and considerable knowledge of model boating, yachting ( because of where I lived in Fleetwood) and other such matters, whether I would like to be the next editor. of the magazine. I sadly had to decline as I told him that Hemmell Heampstead where the magazine was based at the time, was far too far from Fleetwood and I couldn't even consider re locating. Also I had never had anything in the way of editorial skills nor computer skills to do such a job.
 
 He told me that he would be my mentor until and after his retirement, and it was a changing world in which I would probably be able to live at home and commute just once a week or fortnight to the "office".
 
Sadly at the time and my family circumstances I didn't feel brave enough to take the plunge into uncertainty and declined his offer.
 
I now think back and in hind site wonder where both I and others would be today, had I not taken that fresh leap into the unknown. I wonder for others what it feels like to know that they were second choice.
 
So the purpose of this little but true tale is.......If you get the chance to do something new, out of your comfort zone and completely alien to you,......TAKE IT...........you don't know how it will turn out and how you can influence your own and other's lives that you come into contact with along life's highway.
 
And finally I would just like you to ponder over a collection of 3 quotes that I have had in my mind for years after a debacle I had with some church goers once, many years ago.............
 
“Those who plead their cause in the absence of an opponent can invent to their heart's content, can pontificate without taking into account the opposite point of view and keep the best arguments for themselves, for aggressors are always quick to attack those who have no means of defence.”
― Christine de Pizan
 
 
And this one from Noel Coward......
 
“It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.”
― Noël Coward


"A man cannot make comment to influence others if he has not  firstly made sure his own life is in order and beyond scrutiny."
- Anon


All three of these quotes remind me of a word called Hypocrisy!
 
Happy modelling folks............I will be around occasionally.
 
And thanks for the support I have received from my friends on here.........you ALL  know who you are.
 
Cheers.,
 
Neil.
