Hey

I'm from India. Been a big fan of railways since like forever. Bumped into this board via google a few weeks back; knew I had to join. Cheers for the great community you guys got here.

Thanks n Regards

Welcome aboard.

Hey Vish - aboard.

Sorry for the hassles in you getting registered, but a legitimate email address is required to register here. That helps in keeping the spammers out.
Glad we finally got that sorted out.

Make yourself at home. Got any questions? Feel free to ask away. We're a bunch of friendly folks here, and as my avatar suggests, we're good people (my avatar is a symbol used by the hobos of the depression era in the US to tell other hobos that there are good people here ).

Welcome, from a fellow newbie!

I spent the day grading a new roadbed until I plowed up a bees nest.
They were not very happy. So, I covered them up and put the tractor away until tomorrow.

This gave me some time on the computer and a chance to welcome you.

Edit: England are 92 for 7 - it's good to have someone else to understand my distress at this state of affairs!

[citizenvish]

Sorry for the late reply... have been real busy for some days now.

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome.

Hawk:
I completely understand the whole registration thing. In the end, all's well that ends well.

Lose = opposite of win.

So that's what that new symbol is all about. I thought it was a large emoticon of some sort.

[Hawk]

I guess in some way you could call it an emoticon, from back in the 30's.

In the world of cricket, the only thing worse than loosing is loosing to the Aussies.

But we're not doing too bad today. Trott's just got his maiden test century and we're leading by 518 runs - 346 for 8!!! Woo-hoo !!!

[Grandma Ruth]

And there's nothing sweeter than beating the Aussies!!!!
