Barry that's a bit like what the wife says to me when I give her advice "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't believe you"I always like to ask folks as they may have had experience of what I'm asking and you can't beat experience in my view.
We used to have someone on here a few years ago, forget her name now but she used to hit the roof if you asked something, "Why the hell don't you google the answer", she got so uptight about it that she used to make me laugh, God forgive me, she hasn't been on for quite a while now, wonder what happened her, I was going to say something there but I'd only get into trouble, no matter the thought will suffice.

Re: Google - or Forum
I prefer to do both. Google, for widespread information, and here, for personal experience.I'm glad that person doesn't seem to be on here! I'd hate to be shouted at to Google summat if I feel people on here could help more. We're all friends on here, so I would feel comfortable asking for advice.

Join the club Patsy, I'm always doing it.Although I'm not knocking the advantages of having google it has changed a few traditional pub practices like the pub quiz, they seem to have vanished in the pubs in my area, I was never any good at them but I always enjoyed the craic, the football and horse racing rows used to be very enjoyable, like who scored this and who rode that, they just google now and it's all over in seconds. Another thing now is when you try to spin a yarn in the pub nobody believes a word outa yeh, "Hang on a minute there Jem and I'll google that, got to get your facts right", everyone's a bloody smart alec nowadays armed to the teeth with technology, the harmless pub messer is consigned to history.
A beggar on the Halfpenny bridge the other day stuck out his left hand to me for money, he had his new mobile phone in his right hand talking to someone else at the same time, I offered him a euro and he said hang on a minute, he then googled to find out the begging rates on the Halfpenny bridge, "It's one euro and fifty cents mate, but I'll let you off this time"
