Malc, please, for the sake of all of us, including yourself, forget about those stupid little stars. They are becoming an obsession, and I am quite sure if you thought about them less, and just posted some interesting stuff, everyone would be relieved, and this thread would flow better with a lot more choosing to contribute. As it is, not in anyway trying to upset you, but waffling on about pizzas, dodgy burgers and even to a lesser extent what time you have a cup of tea, is just not floating anyone's boat, and is not interesting at the frequency you tell us about it.

You have a wealth of caravanning experience, you stay in some nice places, and must have a life away from pizzas and burgers. Why not, once in a while, tell us a bit about this? Without divulging personal information of course.

I could of course be way off the radar here, and you are in fact deliberately seeking to wind everyone up via this thread, but I hope and trust that this is not the case. Happy

Write your comments here...I did write about Weston Park which was a nice place to stay for the six days of the National, HD, yet in the National thread, there were many people that didn't like it because they felt Nationals had changed over the years and were dwindling in attendance. So you can't please everyone!

Five purple is enough for me at the moment. Anyone who gets to gold will automatically lose interest in stars because the increments will go so high that it will probably take a regular and frequent poster over a year before they get to the next star.

If I'm not mistaken, you'll need half a million points to get from 4 to 5 gold. The fifth gold is the end after which no-one can get any further in the star count!

Well, I did tell Mrs M I'd take the week off but I'm sure you'll all be glad to know we've arrived safe and sound in Slovenia ..... and it's pouring down! Sad

Still, the good news is there's a free "serve yourself" bar and we'll both be able to enjoy watching the football tomorrow after our first day's walking! Wink

Sorry about the weather Moulesy, but I hope you enjoy Slovenia.

Safe travelling.

Write your comments here...Sorry, 150,000 from 4 gold to 5. Total points needed is half a million. To put that into perspective, it has taken me over two years to get to 5 purple which is a total count of 100,000. At the rate I post, it would take 10 years to get to five gold. I just hope I can live that long!

.Thank you, Ian. I'm glad I'm not the only one getting stressed by it all. It all started because I mentioned in the part 2 thread that I couldn't read what was said on page 1003 because it kept coming up with 'planned maintenance' message and still is. This seems to have unleashed a series of personal attacks against me. I did think yesterday that maybe I should stop following this thread as it was getting rather unpleasant and depressing.

Malcolm, please don't get stressed out or depressed. It isn't worth it. Keep posting whatever you want to, everyone else does, after all. If people don't like your posts, why on earth do they keep reading them......

It's been raining on and off here since I first got up this morning. My wife was up until two o'clock this morning as she wanted to get all the washing done. I didn't realise she was up that late because I was in bed fast asleep! This was after an 11 hour day at work with me. How does she manage it, I ask myself!  On a working day, I find I can't stay awake much beyond midnight!

50% of today's posts on this thread have been made by one person. 

There's a bit in the guidelines about monopolising discussions. 

  • Don't dominate the discussion.It can also be off putting for other contributors when someone is dominating discussions, so please let other people have the opportunity to have their say, especially if you are just reiterating your original point. Remember, wanting to have the last word does not necessarily mean you are right.

It's pretty clear that regular contributors to the thread have been put off. How about starting your own thread about your day and people can choose to engage with it or not?
