Hey Bob, it is about time that the story of the road roller and the Blenheim Motor Inn came out. You know far more about it than I do.

Do you know, I must be 'thick'.....don't answer that. All these little abbreviations that appear on these threads have had me scratching my head. The latest one from David McKinney.......OTTOMH... wasn't too bad to solve, but the.....IIRC....has had me worried for a while. I thought it must be a new drug or something but NO. So to all you other 'thick' people out there, here are a few abrv's that have appeared on here.
OTTOMH........off the top of my head.
IIRC..............if I remember correctly
LOL...............laugh out loud.
AKA..............also known as.
I'm sure there are lots more, I just have to get my thick head round to thinking about them.
'Everything will be alright in the end. If it is not alright, then it is not the end'!!!!!!
dodery is a better word than thick
Yes Jim, and to think I went to school till I was 25......makes you wonder doesn't it? I definately couldn't have been paying attention.
I think this probably applies to me, although it was said by that Great American race car driver John Fitch.....'I have to be prepared,any day, to become incompetent'.....He said this quite recently when he was in fact 93 years of age.!!!!!!!! I dont think I'll make 93 if Jim's description is correct.
Gerold you can do it just remember to breath in and out over and over
It make you wonder how these new generations are going to be able to communicate using the written form.
I heard a story about John Riley selling a Ford 10 to a "new New Zealander" (from one of the Pacific islands). Some time later the purchaser came back. He had got a puncture and discovered (a) that cars should have a spare wheel and (b) that his car did not have one. John disappeared out the back and soon came back with a Ford 10 spare wheel which just happened to be the correct colour for the car! He sold the hapless islander what was rightfully his own wheel for 5 quid!
AMCO72. Another for your list. C.R.A.F.T. This is a creation of the very witty Garry Simkin.
It's an acronym for Can't Remember A F_ _ _ ing Thing
I was tempted to add a new one over the last week or 10 days, FON F off Noddy!
LMFAO = Laughed My F____cking Arse Off.
At who woody. Surely not at someone elses misfortune!!! Some of these acronyms are like trying to work out personalised plates....and some of them are pretty obscure.
AMCO, The LMFAO is a number plate here in Auckland in Richmond Road area. Another plate = NOPCME No Pee Cee Me a uroligist. A dentist 230CME, Tooth Hurty Cee Me.
I have always presumed and accepted that LOL indicates, "laughing out loud, i.e. I am laughing out loud while I am saying the forging. This rather than advice to LOL, i.e. "laugh out loud" in response to the forging. This is rather a dangerous one, as the wrong meaning can be portrayed, particularly if there is any hint of sarcasm within the preceding text.Originally Posted by AMCO72
What do the majority accept LOL to mean exactly, "laugh" or "laughing" out loud.? A Pedantic detail possibly, but even so quite important.
Cheers, Trevor.
Amco just heard a new one that fits mini drivers.figjam!!
Trevor.....the only way I have heard LoL used is..... 'laugh out loud'... This is not to say that it is correct, but it appears many times on a Mini forum, and the only way it makes sense in their case is to.....'laugh out loud'. As with quite a few of these acronyms, there are multiple translations.
I am sure Amco is not a Figjam, but the motorsport world is full of them.
Figjam = F... I'm good just ask me
Well, there you go, you learn something everyday, when I thought fig jam was something you spread on your toast!!
And that aint BS. LOL
LOL+ Lots of Laughs.
