Me too.

 

Wish I'd thought of it ;)

 

 

Yeh, well it wasn't and it needs to go on record who did so that stunsworth or Petrol Pete don't get their names up in leitz.

 

What's the prize for the best suggestion Andy ?? 30% discount off an M8 ?

Will this bar or coffee shop be a part of the international forum exclusively or will it be placed outside the international and German forum (real international;) )?

I would prefer the second alternative. When you go in you can hear and talk in all languages like in a real bar. :)

 

Some more relaxed names: :D

Hyperland

Barnack's Bar for me too. Rare to see such unanimity of thought...I feel a fuzzy moment coming on... Group hug!

@ Bruce; I'm honestly curious, and since you 'fessed up to voting 'no' I feel I can ask - what was/is your objection? This seems like a harmless and fun idea?

 

Bill - No strong objection, obviously - just that the impolite and unhumble often delight in messing-up 'lounge' forums, resulting in the more-sensible chatterers placing the subforum on 'ignore' and leaving it to a small group of firebrands. That in itself is no big thing but LCUF's clear tie to a single company probably would require our 'bar' to be supervised much more closely than are the broad-based forums. If we open a 'bar' Andreas and his appointed moderators, maybe three to avoid assasination attempts, will have to put forth very clear rules of engagement.... and doesn't that defeat the purpose?

 

All that crap aside, this particular group of folks is quite broad-minded and would, I suspect, make the moderator's job easier than elsewhere. Worth a go if management is up to the hassle!

That's great about a well meaning dictator - he can switch opinions without listening to the majority when a better suggestion comes up.

 

Any objections to "Barnack's Bar"?

 

Andreas

 

No objections - provided the decor isn't done in magenta... :eek:

Bruce, many thanks for taking the time to give an explanation. Not an angle I had thought of, I must admit.

I'm sure that Barnack's Bar will be more like the bar in "Cheers" than the "Rat and Handbag", or "Kebab and Calculator". We just need to make sure we don't have a jukebox...

 

Regards,

 

Bill
