As my personal Karma is constantly getting taxed every time I post a News story, I have decided, in future to use the following abbreviations for comments when certain people go off-topic:

T.A..A.D. - Tedious Allied - Axis Debate

1/35th P.D.s - 1/35th Scale Plastic Dwarves

N.I.I.A.H:T. - No It isn't a Half Track

I.G.I.N.A. It's German, it's Not Allied

N.A.B.T.? Not another Bloody Tiger?

Y.A.B.T. Yes, another bloody Tiger

B.R.O.N.C.O. - Expected sometime in the 31st Century

All suitably (clean) suggestions welcomed..Jim
