    Hello,
    in fact, there were 17 spammers banned yesterday, some by me and some more by others, when I was asleep.
    All of the ones I banned had IP addresses in India

    Thanks Nick. Part of the problem is the use of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). I have a VPN which has connections originating in over 75 countries. I use mine to watch Formula 1 races on a British station. And there are many other reasons for using a VPN. Unfortunately the spammers use them too........Doug

  2. I'm with you Ken. I 've been simming now for 40 years and I somehow feel like I've been-there-and-done-that. Not much new to explore. I've never been into the eye-candy side of things. I'm more into practices and procedures. I thought MSFS2020 would get me going again but it's so poorly implemented that I've decided to put it on the shelf and move on to other things.

    Grandpa was a boxing fan, and I remember him listening to the fights on this thing. I guess they weren't televised.

    My Dad was also a big boxing fan. The only reason he gave in and finally bought a TV was so he could watch the Gillette Friday Night Fights (How are you fixed for blades? You better check. Please make sure you have enough. 'Cause a worn-out blade makes shaving mighty tough).

    And how well I remember so many of these bouts:   Boxing in the 1950s - Wikipedia   .

    But you seem to be referring to the radio program.  I'm recalling the TV series.

    Yes, I'm recalling the radio series. TV came to my house rather late in the game. But never forget, when the little boy was asked which he liked better, radio or TV, he replied "I like radio more because you can see the story much better". Sometimes the old times are the best times.....

    Somebody around here has to drive you all home!

    Not necessarily..........

     

    One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. The man sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes.
    Meanwhile, all the other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away, and the police officer was waiting for him. As soon as he pulled onto the street, the officer stopped him, read him his rights and administered the breathalyzer test to determine his blood-alcohol content.
    To the cop's amazement, the results showed a reading of 0.0!
    The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be.
    The driver replied, "Tonight, I'm the designated decoy."

  6. May you RIP. I could ever coached soccer without your help. You were right there beside me all the time and you never let me down. The world has lost what I will always consider the best player and the best inspiration to so many kids.....Doug
