You great hairy twonk, if I may say that - which I'm almost certain I'm not allowed to, so I'll probably get a whatsit - do I care? The "deraILMEn" blasted "caps lock" has added immeasurably to the "sparkle" - in fact it's rally nice and cosy, a bit like In The Old Days. Well Done!

I don't mind a bit of frolicking and merriment, where permitted - or even if not - I encourage you to do it again. Go on, I dare you to, it'll be great! People might even join in!

psst, AP, "make him a 'daycent' " what?


I do not believe that it is possible to play "TTTT" on a Vulvaphone, or whatever the infernal thing is called.

Daycent, in daycent, whell who am I to comment.

This is nonsense, isn't it. I think that the best way to do "Zapatatas" is in the microwave. Why isn't this thread in "The Kitchen"?

Humph! I had to look up "great hairy twonk" and I must say it sounds a bit on the questionable side of flattering:

Urban Dictionary says:

" Derogitary term, roughly equivalent to idiot. More insulting than berk, but less insulting that gimp. Thought to originate in the Victorian Era meaning a lower-class foreigner."

But since "they" misspelled 'derogatory' and used poor grammar, I'll let that part slide. I do, however, take issue with "lower-class foreigner." I am difinitely NOT "lower class"; low-class, maybe. And I am only a foreigner to those not in my immediate vicinity. And as for doing Zapa's tatas in the microwave, well, I'd just like to see you try that, Mister!

Oh Pam...You make me cry when you write like this:-4

AND...did the man cry and become daycent when he walked in our Forum Garden as you walked draped in the brown cardi?

I think thats the real point of distiction. If you come up short of gimp you should be ok.

Gosh. Calling someone a berk is literally veru insulting indeed, however the significance has been commuted by time, I think.

Dunno who wrote something was more insulting than berk, if you know the full phrase you'll understand what I'm trying to point out.

This definition came from Urban Dictionary. I hadn't heard any of the terms so I Googled it. And yes there were other more lurid, vivid, gross definitions.

Chonsi!!!!!!!!! ARGHHGHGGHG. At least you've cleared away the song that I couldn't get out of my head all yesterday: Born to be Weird!!!

Now my earworm du jour is going to be that all too catchy Breaking Balls Sonata. I do have one teensy weensy problem with it, though. If the single note sounded by is A# or Bb , a true musician v-player, oxymoronically or otherwise, would not be able to play a single note of the opus - without being painfully out of tune.

Mad Hatter - I hope I know you from a past life! And if you look anything like Johnny Depp, I may even start drinking tea. (Theia, I didn't really say that. A pre-coffee, dark wet wintry Sydney morning confuses the blonde psyche.)

Andy? Who's Andy?

PantoAndy (the AA Grumpy column), hails from near me in Nottinghamshire, UK ! He's a trier, I'll give him that! He was banned some time ago for TOS infringements, and tried different site names to try to come back. He is trying again, very trying :rolleyes:

I think we should let banned members back into FG again. Let them start anew:-6



I'm not talking about spammers or advertisers....:p

Oh okay, I recognize the name. Nice to see you again Andy. :-6

The system doesn't re-size pics like before?

Why are we having this upgrade? Does it include a better system of independent moderation?

Is there anyone here? This is a test to see whether the thread appears in the New Posts list.

I'm here, Pammie

I was just testing, Theia! I don't know what all this new stuff is about. It's all very well to change the outside of stuff. What we need is a change on the inside. Still, early days.

Ah, we are here-so of course the forum sparkles today. :rolleyes:

The new paint job is nice enough but what about the premise of this thread ? Is that going to be addressed or not ? Not by the looks of it

Oh and by the Way Pammie, those arent vuvuzelas they're golf tees

He saw that the wickedness of posters was great upon the Forum, and that there was loads of moaning, whining, bickering, thread hijacking, disrespect, unseemly cavortings, people asking difficult questions about moderation - and yea even the loud trumpetings of the forbidden instrument.

His ears hurt and his heart grieved. I will rid myself of this troublesome bunch of wankers, He quoth. I will smite the lot of them. I will turn their pleasant avocado and custard coloured land a wet and watery blue. I will confuse even those who weren't already confused before they got here in the first place. They will seek threads they liked, but they shall not find them. Verily, the threads they seek they shall in no way find. They will thirst, but neither tea nor coffee shall be given unto them, and from them that hath a brown cardie, even that shall be taken away. And so it was ...

And what about those banned for repeated and knowing copy right infringement and plagerism KE? Eh?

What about folks who repeatedly infringe on the work of others? Those folks that were given more then 1 polite 0 point warning about intellectual theft and instructed on the legal way to post a reference to a story on the site and yet ignored the repeated informational warnings and continued to post copy righted material? What about those folks that continually take other peoples work and post it as their own, despite being warned it wasn't allowed and that if they refused to stop we would be forced to act?



Most everyone on this site has been able to understand that it is illegal to post an entire article or story that is the property of someone else. That 'fair use' requires a brief and link only. What about those folks that don't mind putting the site at risk of litigation, eh?



It sure does sound a lot cooler that you were being silenced by the 'mods' then that you had total disregard for this site, doesn't it? Really rallies the troops to your side if you aren't worried about accuracy or fairness.



But why would you worry about accuracy if you aren't worried about stealing someone elses work? Let's see if 'cats in hats' and 'fox supporters' are willing to man up and admit the real reason they were finally shown the door.:rolleyes:



Because there are exmembers out there I'd love to see return. They just flamed out. I'd love to give them another go. They could be funny and witty and a joy to have amongst us. Like I've said before, they were simply caught up in the more strident rules brought on by the behavior of a few jackasses who moved in.



I'll reserve my wishes for princesses in towers thanks.
