The good old days:The Three Ring Circus was more of a plague than a repetitive joke
Can't say I miss waffling on about beans,custard,bread & banana mobiles -old hat...maybe if Hannah C were still around we'd still be pissing into the breeze
Now cream buns on the other hand...lol
Every thread seemed to get the same o/t treatment
In fact you could say if it weren't for our juvenile o/t humoress/humorless behaviour this o/t forum probably wouldn't exist?
I actually recall leaving at least twice back then returning a week or so later
Academy/Logie winning performances I thought
cheers

PS What....you wouldn't want the power of deletion...surely not

Yeah I remember the tantrum where we both left (temporarily) but I cant remember what it was about. Was it over me, you and JJ being persecuted by some occasional posters who never post these days? They said our jokes were overbearing. JJ left the forum for a few months due to personal problems at about the same time and I started getting emails from people demanding to know where he was and if I had buried him in my cellar.
I think it might have been that time when my local TV transmitter went down during Auf Weidersehen Pet and I asked if anyone had taped it. I got deleted for asking for copies of broadcast material but yet when I contacted the BBC they said "why dont you see if theres anyone you know in another region who taped it and get a copy off them. In the meanwhile we might schedule a repeat but cant promise". Which would seem to imply that the BBC regard people copying their stuff as no big deal as long as its not for financial gain. Seems the Beeb are less uptight than the moderator who perpertrated such a wicked deletion. :-)I am sure the moderator concerned was acting with the best intentions of course.
Buttsie, of course I dont want the power to delete. There is only room for one wannabe mod round here and it aint me. In anycase deletions are needed less often these days as we louts are learning to moderate our own prose prior to inflicting it on the forumite hoardes.

What was it all about?
Posting full of alcohol in a nutshell which basically meant we were all one snag short of a barbecue when it came to thinking logically but to be fair we were very creative
Then JJ fell down his black hole for a couple of months
Personally I think he was trialling with a local Monastery but it didn't work out...would explain his silence perfectly
Auf Weidersehen Pet-
Did you ever get a copy?
If not why not ask now?
Whats it all about?
Can't think who would want to be a Moderator
It certainly isn't me...between milking cows and digging ditches i haven't got time to scratch me nether regions
cheer

Hey guys, I'm beginning to sympathise with your previous critics. Your current exchange of personal memories is getting boring and has little to do with the original topic. Why don't you email each other and spare the rest of us.

Couldn't think of anything witty to say?
Never mind, it happens to the best of us.
