And once you have got over that, I have to tell you that you now have a 9 month old daughter too!  :o

Good News! - Happy Birthday, and thanks to all those who put their time and knowledge into making this a great forum for Omega owners. Its helped me a lot and made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion.

Bad News - Since finding the forum I know lose another 30mins a day on the internet! Compulsive reading

Well Done to Everyone - especially the founder members The Boy, Mark DTM, Laidback66,and  RonnaldMcBurger

Without the foundations and sheer sweat and probably some occasional swearing from these guys this place would never have existed. :y :y

Just like to echo all that has been said above really.  This site is blessed with excellent admins, friendly and helpful members, and very knowledgeable people.  A sure fire recipe for success!

Thanks to the founder members and long may this site continue.

........so wheres the cake...

And should we try to have a national meet for birthday number 2 ?  :y
Title: Re: Happy Birthday to us!
Post by: Ronald_McBurger on 09 July 2007, 12:08:49
Yes. When I originally said just over 12 months that I would start my own forum instead, there were many that said 'yeah right'. A few weeks later and Dave, myself, mark and Jaime did just that. OK, so I have taken a back seat now, but others do put a lot of hard work into making this the forum that it is.

So, Happy birthday indeedy.

I have only been a member for a couple of months but find it one of the best sites i have joined, more relaxed, excellant help and fun to see all the banter without any offence.

Congrats to all you admins for all your hard work and of coarse all you senior members who make it what it is.

What about my pressures post then,  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D only kidding. I did manage to get ONE sensible answer

Many thanks to all.  My local mechanic scoffed when I told him I had joined a forum and he told me nothing would beat 20 years experience so take any advice with a pinch of salt.

He obviously had no clue as to the professionalism and knowledge offered by OOF members and can no longer rip me off for unneccessary jobs.

So, thanks to the founders for making it possible for so many helpful people to be so...err....helpful :y

 [smiley=birthdays.gif] [smiley=beer.gif]  well, well, a Happy Birthday to OOF and a huge thanks to the founding fathers for having the balls to get this emporium of Omega know-how of the ground.  TBH I only found out about this site via vxon before one of their admins blanked out the address???

If it hadn't been for the expertise, knowledge and generally good people here, my Omega would probably be in the scrappy and not still kicking and screaming (ah, thats only the cheapo exhaust ;))

So, here's to many more years of keeping our barges afloat!   [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=grin.gif]

 [smiley=thumbup.gif]Happy 1st birthday OOF @ regards to Admins. ( Famous Four?)
      I also wish i'd joined earlier but reckon the forum's in it's infancy timewise so i'm proud to have joined in the 1st year. Cracking people (even the ones i've met!!!).
      I log on for a quick look & that's the evening gone. Ebay think i do'nt love them anymore & the telly's threatening to leave home, so somethings working.
           Sure we've got many more meets, b'days & silly behaviour to come.
        Thanks again. [smiley=lolk.gif]

Actually i logged on there today when our site was down....just to se if any one i knew had any info...

There was a thread started by palmer on here and another guy who were commenting and wondering what was wrong that they couldnt get on here. The thread was deleted - and no there were no links or www`s on the thread.

A tad harsh methinks, but hey its their forum they can do as they please  :-/

Post by: Martin_1962 on 09 July 2007, 23:29:36
I forgot AA but then he wasn't one of the original 4 admins, but if he wants he can be Anne - - same initial.

Can you match them up any better?

Not that i'm old enough to have read Enid Blyton as a kid, but if she were still with us i reckon she'd drive an elite est with enough room to carry all the lashings of buns and ginger beer, towing a 1950's caravan.
     Obviously Julian would have to reverse it for her!!! ::)

When I came back from holiday last year, everyone had disappeared off the other site, then MJ contacted me to tell me where everyone had gone.

A few months later LB asked me to be an Admin.

I feel privileged to be part of this site.

Well Congratulations on your First Birthday, :y :y :y :y :y :y

Now i have not been here too long in actuall fact i have not owned an Omega that long either but thats been my loss. i just wanted to say that this is without a doubt the best forum that i have ever been on, i have spent more time here reading laughing  ;D and wondering about the Proffesional Knowledge that you all have than ever before. I do not really want to lay it on too thick,but the Founders of this site are the one`s that we should be celebrating without their witt and profound knowledge, people like myselfe would never have bothered to stop,read, join and enjoy the humor that is in such abondance in nearly every little comment that has been threaded.
Once more Congratulations, and i for one am proud to be a member of such an Elite Taskforce of friendly Omega owners
