Make your thread titles descriptive please.

[J170 Owner]

Hi, sorry to be a pain but could folks make their titles to threads etc more descriptive? Things like 'Instructor required' or 'spare tyre' or 'snake on a plane' mean little. We (users) should be able to get a good idea of what the thread is about just by reading the title. As an example, "should I carry a spare tyre while flying" is better than 'spare tyre' as a title. Just my thoughts. PS : why does tyre show as a spelling mistake? It is the way I have spelled tyre since at least 1960. Tire means to become tired. Different thing, unless computers have been dumbed down as well....

Agreed. This thread should have "tired spare tyre" in the title.

nah, but it just seems a bit flat.......

I would tread lightly on this subject! Not that I want to pull up on anyone, but I would not like anyone to slam on and end up with a skid mark

 

 

[horsefeathers]

...... but I would not like anyone to slam on and end up with a skid mark

And end up with a black mark against you????

A skid mark in a Jab? Now that IS aviation humour

[turboplanner]

Monster is too broad a definition

 

 

[Guest Howard Hughes]

This clearly should have been titled 'rantings of a grumpy old bugger'... For me, if the title doesn't interest me, I don't read it!

 

PS: If that is the worst thing you have to complain about in life, perhaps things aren't going so bad!

Again... :)

Actually a skid mark in a jab is pretty simple.....anytime your moving sideways ...you'll skid...in fact in multiple places!!

If your spell checker shows tyre as a mistake it is because it is set to English US not English UK or English Australia. US spell checkers are usually the default as most browsers are US owned or at least US based. I use Chrome which gives all 3 options.

I thought Chrome only had one option..........bright and shiny

Possumface really is making a good point. Howard you've missed three of four cracker threads lately

Tired tyres require retreading or retiring.

Perhaps you can point me in the right direction!

Now there's a post with a bit of depth to it.

According to my sources, spelled or spelt are both acceptable.

As one 'old bloke' to another , who obviously has nothing better to do than waste time on this forum. I really think that ' spollen '

 

would be more appropriate .
