I reply to very few threads cos I'll get in instant holiday if I say what I really think ;-)

We used to be much more tolerant on the old board and members KNEW after reading a couple of posts which way the thread was headed....down....usually but sooooooooooooo funny.

Then there were the good old arguments *cough* sorry...debates :-D

Now we are expected to kowtow and I for one would not feel comfortable watching what I said.

*crips rule*

Good evening young Foggy.

Have you given up shaving? You deffo have a 5'o'clock shadow. ;-)

I like to have a giggle too. But quite often my humour leave people speechless. At least, I mean to say, they dont answer. lol

I wasn't on here in the old days, but it seems it was more fast and furious then.

Well I think it's great. Where else in the world could you find somewhere to discuss the merits of domestic detergents alongside the definitive cure for Myelgichalfontica. Where else in cyberspace does your hard drive manically vibrate with the energy from pos thoughts? There's more prayers per kilobyte than at the vatican when another priests been caught with his hands in the wrong place and the domestic appliance advice is better than Which? magazine.

Nah, leave it the way it is. Wouldn't be fun any other way.

I'd love it to go back to the way it was. I rarely ventured on to the old general board, it was full of doom and gloom, it was depressing. Even though there were rucks on Chat, at least we used to have a laugh in between them...and there were more laughs than rucks.

Now this board is full of depressing doom and gloom too, and the lighthearted banter has gone from here. Something I could have done with lots of in recent months. Thank goodness I keep in touch with people outside of here, and they cheer me up no end and keep me positive.

Its understandable that people ask for positive thought I have done so myself in the past when there is a major upset going on in my life.... some may that is doom and gloom but at least Ive to balance it out with fun happy threads.

I have noticed over the past few weeks, that there is a certain standard required before you should even post on such thread..not lets just say this is one of the said threads....

Ooowww Muffy thats awful poor you *wrings hands* if it isnt bad enough being new year *wrings hands * not a chat or a gen board * wrings hands*

Now if you try to add a bit rytheme and reason.....well Muffy the reason why they decided to emerge the 2 boards is because: Some people suggested it *comment dismissed* and its so they could add other new boards * comment dismissed* its to make the site better not everyone will agree * comment dismissed*

agree to all of the above * you're rude *

Disagree with that * you're reported *

Buts it a debate about the different needs on different boards * wrings hands and faint*

true TW theres no room for any banter of good hearted threads
for doom and gloom threads
or some that are pure fiction
