I'm not sure whether I can generalise, but I've seen more photos of officers from the US than over here (Belgium). I talk especially of photos taken with a phone at a weird angle of a bunch of guys in full regalia in the lodge room proud to pose for some event. Personally I find this type of...

Running out of food is always a good sign : )

It's difficult to think of something that hasn't already very eloquently said in this thread. I'll offer an old Italian proverb: Nella botte piccola c'è il vino buono which is The small barrel contains the best wine

@Bloke So should I buy the popcorn or skip it? : )

That's sad. My thoughts are with his family and friends. I had never met Bill, but I'm grateful that I could know him through this forum.

Grazie adesso l'ho trovato. Bell'articolo.

He was a good link. We'll miss him.

In principle I agree with you. But you've got to work with these people. Unless you decide to cut your losses, say goodbye, and change lodge. If you were to talk to them with your current incensed state of mind, you'd probably make things worse and I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up in the...

Yep, I use that function too, but not for music (rolling my eyes with an expression of resigned despair) : )

Oh, with that tone in your voice, you asked! : )

Vaccinations started a month ago, but at this rate we won't be done before next year. Hopefully they'll pick up the pace. I hear informally from some brothers that they will not come back to lodge until vaccinations are fully done. The lodge is in a beautiful old building, but as is often the...

Excuse my old-geezer bad-tempered rant, but why don't some of the moaners post a "vibrant" thread instead of complaining? It's not what your forum can do for you, it's what you can do for your forum.

Now, tell us how you really feel : ) Jokes apart, Say what?
