Wow, Phil you're right. So many definitions and some of them quite nasty.
I based my text on the way I've seen Bubba referred to between HMV enthusiasts on a couple of forums.
To be involved in the HMV movement you are obviously in the company of gentlemen. I suppose that comes from inhabiting the 'builder' end of the spectrum.

Cheers

Dave

I guess the definition of "Bubba" to me is someone that can make a small wooden spoon out a pretty nice larger wooden spoon.

In support of Bubba, There is a Guy called Bubba on Fordbarn forum who is an ace on Ford (and others) distributors. It is his business,they do hundreds of distributors. He is very helpful and doesn't push his work or sales. We could probably all learn something from him.

I hope that put a little on the other side of the scales.

Hey, Phil, that's known as the 'Reverse Midas Touch' - when everything you touch turns to s**t!! We ALL have those days ... as you rightly say, just down tools and pick up a beer, it is the only practical solution.

I think that's fairly universal Lynn. It's just the brand of beer that varies.
I can still hear the old John Meillon voiced commercial, 'A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer and the best cold beer is Vic'.
Bet that rings a few bells.

Well after yesterday, it seems we are heading for that season.
