Hello from the UK

[Smutley]

Hi everyone
My name is Simon and I live in the UK.
I've been into flightsim for about five years now and I am a member of quite a few of the forums.
Stumbled accross your forum by mistake and I must say "What a find".
I think I'm going to enjoy looking around here, as if I haven't got enough distractions already.
I've have no plans to build a cockpit at the moment, but and this is a big but, if I spend too much time hanging with you lot I might have to reconsider my decision.
I think the wife and kids maybe in for some lonely evenings in front of the telly.
Anyway that's my first post.

All the best.

Simon :)

I can use the help too, unfortunately, you're not quite next door :)

Welcome to this site, look forward hear much of your flight-sim building experience :)

Hi Simon. Glad to have you here. It is ok to be here and just look... I think we should have a warning on the site though..."Warning hanging here can be dangerous to your social and family life!" What do you folks think?:shock:

Hi Simon,
Welcome, its a slippery slope and you're on the edge already, in a few days a joystick for FS just won't be good enough for you!
The guys here are friendly and far too helpful for your own good :)
Cheers

Milton Keynes, not too sure I'd be able to find you, got lost last time I went there.

Matt
A bit too far for me to go in a long weekend, thanks for the offer.

Bob
My obsession for flightsim has done that already, my wife and kids think I'm nuts already.

Mike
Guess I've just got to go with the gradient.

Thanks for the welcome guys and what a warm welcome as well.

Regards

Simon :D

Welcome to our forum Simon from an ex pom from Yorkshire now in Oz. It goes like this - you make your first piece and then your hooked!!!

Matt, I was wondering what the prize is for 1000 posts! ;)

Thanks Gwyn

And so another website goes into my favourites folder. Stop tempting me, I've only just joined.
Can you get hooked without making your first piece?

It's just like when you know you are coming down with the latest bug.... You just don't feel just right.....:) Then you say, ya know I know what I have..... Same thing...
