[LanciAlan]

there's that hebottom thing again - definite bug. Typed "he@rse"

[LanciAlan]

... though given that "bottom" and "@rse" are interchangeable in real life so to speak I guess it must be some sort of programmed-in language sanitiser ... let me just check that

arse

[LanciAlan]

yep it changes @rse to bottom.

wonder what else it does

Research results (some leading up interesting avenues):

Martin & Brian, I love your suggestions about the nurse / hebottom, but I'm stil hoping Kevin will buy the Esagamma!

I have a surplus steering drop arm, which I think is cobottom spline (20 splines on the inner circumsference), bought from Cavallito a couple of years back  -  if you have not already found one, you are welcome to have it for the price I paid.

next up, and in the "accidental bottomry" category ("bottomry" is in fact a nautical salvage term):

Hi Robin. Just a long shot, difficult when not actually there to listen to, but here goes . Years ago i had an early mgb which had a dynamo, i had a horrible noise which increased with revs, how i found the culprit was, i took the fan belt off, and the noise was not there anymore, it turned out 1 of the 2 long screws that go right through the dynamo, had snapped half way inside, what was happening was, when on idle, i.e. slower rotation, the end of the screw nebottomst the head of the screw would drop down and rub against the rotating part inside, but when the revs were increased the screw inside then got thrown about more and was bouncing off the rotating part and against the outer casing making a noise like you describe. As i say only a long shot, but sometimes its easy to overlook the simple things. Good luck. Roger.

I use both a PC and an Apple on daily basis... but I'm a Mac fan 100 percent.  PC users and IT technicians get shot down by me when they slate the mac and insist that's it's on its way out.  I have 10 times as many facts and figures, innovations and the like to respond with in my bottomnal of knowledge demonstrating why Apple is the better choice.  It's satisfying to counter the PC geeks, some of whom feel compelled to belittle the Apple without ever having used one.

I can't believe it. Common sense. It only takes 5 minutes to get a quote and this has turned into 5 pages of girly bitching. I'm just a member who reads the mag, has a look on here, asks a few questions and did a few track days. Now I remember the reason I resigned from my other club - people. What a pain in the bottom most of you are. And reading this, do you all behave and communicate like this at work? Because if you do, I'm telling you now, your colleagues must think you're a right bunch of tossers. There are a few exceptions in this thread who seem level headed but mostly I couldn't stand to spend more than 30 seconds in the company of most of you.  ....

Excellent and clear summary by Don. Actions speak louder than words and this should have been done by one of us some time ago. With the addition of Colin's points I cannot immediately see any glaring omissions.Using Don's post as an action list for discussion is then sufficiently clear for me as the arguments are well rehebottomd by now and need no further elaboration.

... and, finally, my pebottomnal favourite:

The Andy Saunders car also has an east west mounted engine, whereas the original at the bottomnale was in line, as it would have been in a Fulvia.

Not quite sure what this has to do with the brilliant work of the Gamma consortium, still.

[LanciAlan]

not a lot ... but you could get yourself on topic again if you edited your original post to mis-spell "release bearing"

[thecolonel]

I always use a spell checker, so pretty sure "release bearing" is correct

[LanciAlan]

yes but if you mis-spelt it as "rele@rse bearing" you might win a prize ..

[ColinMarr]

Let's see what happens if you are a football fan and your local team at the Emirates Stadium is known as bottomnal! Yes, you would have to write it as @rsenal.

I suppose the connection with Gamma might be that some people regard @rsenal as a lost cause, but then that also seems to be part of their attraction.

I think you are probably right Colin,
It can be a labour of love, but look at
the end result, 30 of the best looking
PF cars with some of the best looking
dedicated owners.
At least the amount of stick we get is
slowly reducing, so we must be doing
something right.

[thecolonel]

bottom , bum , brown stuff , testicles

So that covers:
@rse , bum , sh*t  and b*ll*cks

[LanciAlan]

Also discovered today that "fu*king sh*t" is moderated to "loving brown stuff" but it leaves p1ss alone
