Whack!
You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly.

The Barnstar of Diligence[edit]

The Barnstar of Diligence
For your continued unstinting and heroic labours, very largely unsupported, at the CCI. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Appreciated, Martin. But I wouldn't say it's unsupported. Others, including Dianna, The 4lines, Moneytrees, Tony and yourself, have put a lot of of effort in. I think it's just that, being jubilado (! - I'm learning), I have rather more time. And tomorrow, Mr Pickford should be arriving with all my books, so, if needed, we can help Murgatroyd with A la Ronde. That, and the remaining two sections will knock off Part 1, and with 4/5/6 already done, the end will be in sight! If still rather a ways off.......!

Doesn't he "make exceedingly good cakes"? Ah no wait, that's the other guy, isn't it... Martinevans123 (talk) 14:35, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
KJP1, I had just been thinking that I should ask you how the move was going. Sounds like it's coming along well? --Tryptofish (talk) 19:09, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Tryptofish - Great to hear from you. It is actually going pretty well. There are many challenges in relocating to an area where you don’t speak the language with any fluency - but there are many compensations. The city is truly beautiful, the weather is fabulous, and the tapas and wine are close to unbeatable. Now, we just need to sort the pets, the house, the wifi, the doctor, the dentist, the padron…. I really hope your own personal issues are resolving themselves. KJP1 (talk) 19:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Olé! the claim that this is "taken from "Top of the Pops" (BBC) 1974" seems a little wide of the mark, but hey, it's hardly Coltrane is it! Martinevans123 (talk) 21:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Beautiful weather, tapas and wine – that all sounds wonderful, and well worth the remaining hassles. Thanks for asking about me: it's a slower recovery than I had hoped, but overall good, nothing serious. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:43, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Phew!! Four down, two to go. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:14, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yep - we're making progress. I think I'll try Section 3 next. It doesn't seem to have those multi-edits of which you're so fond. Normally covering current events (how is Mrs Vennells by the way?), obscure jazz artists, mass murderers or Strictly contestants! KJP1 (talk) 13:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
We're not on speaking terms, I'm afraid. Shucks, looks like you've got my top interests well and truly nailed there. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:05, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I missed out a, to me somewhat unexpected, interest in the technical aspects of planes, particularly cockpits, air/road accidents, ergonomics, and matters loosely grouped as health and safety. As well as European artists as obscure as your jazz musicians. What a polymath you are. KJP1 (talk) 14:11, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Polymath?? lol... More of a half-dead parrot, I'm afraid. Less "pieces of eight", and more British blues history... Martinevans123 (talk) 14:28, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That would be the New Polymath. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:21, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Or more likely just Poly Styrene: [3] Martinevans123 (talk) 21:31, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Tired? Fed up of tedious assumed copyvio from long-dead sources? Tense, nervous headache? Take St Basil's!! ... just sayin' lol. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Rheidol Stag[edit]

Thanks for the change, it looks better, especially as the image is relevant to both sections. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 13:08, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Murgatroyd49 - Thanks. It's not perfect, but I think it's better than it was. At least it doesn't smash into the Refs. In an ideal world, I'd have found a cite that supported the whole para. and kept it, but it's a far from ideal world! All the best. KJP1 (talk) 13:15, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

How's things?[edit]

Hello hello! Believe me, I'm tired of Montacute House – I don't think anyone arrives at a talk page to discuss fairly minor (to my mind) changes and still be there weeks later, but that's the nature of the Wiki sometimes.

On a lighter note, how are things with you? Are there any Burges-related articles left to bring up to standard, or have you finished for the moment? Personally I'm taking a bit of a break after doing Dolwyddelan and Criccieth castles, but I'm sure I'll find a project soon – I did think about bringing Penarth Fawr up to GA, it's not all that far off in its current state. What do you reckon, given you're one of the main editors? A.D.Hope (talk) 21:29, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Frankly, I'm currently a little wearied by the MoS Lutherans. "Hier stehe ich, ich kann nicht anders" is a great line, but less helpful as a basis for collaboration. KJP1 (talk) 08:49, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In that case I'll leave you in peace. A.D.Hope (talk) 10:50, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
