• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Dudes,
What is it with Yorkshire? I mean I often hear it referred to in English humor but have no clue what the comic is implying? It appears something derogotory. In the USA, I have no clue what the reference is though. Can someone enlighten me? Are the people from Yorkshire different? Is the landscape there odd?
Thanks,
Joe
 
It was 2 Yorkshire people that invented copper wire fighting over an old penny :)
Im in the next county down (Lincolnshire although im from Wales originally) and have a lot of Yorkshire mates but theyre tight as a ducks arse and they have a real dry sense of humour (suits me but can upset some) and they can be a bit blunt.
There is a lot of moorland in Yorkshire and the weather is drab usually (more so than the rest of Britain unless you include some parts of Lancashire).
To be fair i don't think Americans understand the whole of Britains sense of humour as a rule. We tend to take the piss so to speak but god forbid any outsiders that try it. We dont do the big open laugh thing, stiff upper lip even in humour, weve had thousands of years of having to sneer in the face of adversity. :) The times ive been to the USA (got a lot of family over there) i've been told to laugh at my own jokes to show i am joking if you see what i mean. Saying that, my Brother in law is a Bostonian and he appreciates the sense of humour (and beer, pubs etc) over here :)
 
Piss taking and sarcasm, the best bits of Welsh humour , even those weird English guys find it hard to put up with sometimes :lol:

Have to admit I do curb it quite a bit on international forums, because I have found out the hard way not everyone gets it or appreciates it:excuseme:
 
i try to curb my mad sense of humour but my typically rough glaswegian sarcasm always rears its ugly head ... usually with heavy insults/piss taking and derisory remarks along with the obligatory swear word too but i try to behave on here though....and i also have it in writing now.. "yorkshiremen are the inventors of copper wire.... not the Scots ! " gotcha !
