TK, the motor-sport world is a cauldron, where you might just hear the odd uncomplimentary word. More so once the press is involved.
Get over it.

That may well be true but I don't think it is necessary for him to have to put up with that sort of thing here where he is supposed to among friends. A good way to get him to leave if you ask me. I have never heard "in your dreams" as a way of saying "good luck". T-K, don't let it get to you. You have lots of friends here who wish you good luck in the traditional manner.

May I suggest that you re-read that which I posted. In this part of the world, if a friend says something, or plans something fanciful, outrageous, or down right silly, such as TK's post was, we say "goodluck" in a friendly, yet slightly derisive tone.......such was Liz's intention, using the scottish variation.
I have far too much hapening in the real world to be bothered with this, so this will be all I will post on the matter...........
.....I have spoken to Liz......she apologises unreservedly for any difficulties that may have arisen through cultural misunderstandings et al,
finds it all absolutely mind boggling, and will not be bothering the forums any further.

That's definitely one spot where being conservative wouldn't hurt

I did read your post. I am not going to argue with you or anyone else about it. I was merely concerned for T-K's feelings. I don't want him OR her to leave. I don't even know who she is. If you feel the need to defend her then that is fine and your perogative, just as it is my perogative to defend T-K and I would defend you and just about anyone else who I believe has been treated bad for no apparent reason.

Might I suggest in future that a at the end might at least clear up any confusion about it being fanciful or silly or outrageous. That way we who are dense in the ways of your part of the world will not take offence.

Trust me, I am used to it....I probably recieve more negative critisism than positive...

I dont take offense to statements like that.... One persons words will not affect what I do every other weekend....

Thanks for the good luck wishes by the way

This thread turned funny... Living in the UK I would not have guessed that "in your dreams" may be offending (always heard it either in joking or competing context).

Will remember for my own use

Well most of the time I have heard "in your dreams" it has been used to basically say you haven't got a hope in hell .....as in Guy "do you want to go out with me?" Girl "In your dreams".
Mind you I am sick of the subject already so apart from answering you, I have finished with this subject.

You are right!

I think that I don't read or watch enough romance to be exposed to that use of it

Let us see if someone will figure how to lock the thread before I post this
