Could GOS be the legend that is BarryBeelzebub?

If we relied on original thought this would be a damned thin board.

I say Thanks GOS for bring it to our attention and Thanks TMR who clearly devours Barry's every word for letting us in on his "little secret"

Frankly I don't give a toss where the information comes from ~ my lad is very happy with his Hornby set and sometimes even allows me play with it.

TBH a similar moan appeared on GOM a couple of years ago. "Part Works" are a known rip-off and complaints about them abound.

It's a damned thin board anyway.

Nothing wrong with using other people's words as long as they are acknowledged.

Plagiarism is the use of an unattributed source
Research is the unattributed use of many sources

Let's be charitable shall we.

As for it being a thin board ~ post more and invite others to join us.

Fair points all round. Some of the diatribes I pen are hugely influenced by things I have read elesewhere, I just change them to suit the circumstances I am detailing. In fact, I think myself and Mr Beelzebub share some sort of telepathy as I wrote a rant at work and sent it to a few (select) users - not long after, the great Barry wrote words in a similar vein. Perhaps we all just get the same bile, over the same subject, at the same time.

But, I suppose, this is what happens when you actually take time to look at the news, analyse it and spell it out to people in words and with humour that keep their attention.

I certainly seem to have put the cat amongst the pigeons with that post. To be absolutely honest it was my intention to introduce it as being from another site, but for some reason that did not happen. It was not my intention to mislead anyone on here. therefore I apologise unreservedly.

No harm done GOS - glad to see others enjoy Barry's banter.
