At the time, my assumption was that the "Trans" referred to the Continent and not passenger's personal inclinations. Was there any indication on the tickets?

I suspect they are less offended than you might think. Hi Colin, I was only joking about this very nonsense a short while ago, Neanderthal that I am. Worse still I may have to edit my post so as not to offend any snowflakes for not being inclusive. By the way, for those that may be offended by my comment about Neanderthals, I do have deep set eyes, a raked forehead running into a heavy brow so I'm actually allowed to say that. It really is 2020 !!!!!!! Gibbo. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your "trans" comment could be seen as offensive, as there are trans members on here and in the wider modelling community. Speaking as a regular exhibitor*, a lot of the other ideas though definitely have merit steve *When there are exhibitions at which to exhibit... Hi Steve, I once had a girlfriend that had not so much a kilt but a short tartan skirt and she was quite the exhibitionist also, great fun to be with though !

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted July 23, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2020 So two Irishmen are traveling to Australia. Before they leave home, one of their dads gives them both a bit of advice: "You watch them Aussie cab drivers. They'll rob you blind. Don't you go paying them what they ask. You haggle." At the Sydney airport, the Irishmen catch a cab to their hotel. When they reach their destination, the cabbie says, "That'll be twenty dollars, lads." "Oh no you don't! My dad warned me about you. You'll only be getting fifteen dollars from me," says one of the men. "And you'll only be getting fifteen from me too," adds the other. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
