The actions of the RR'r remind me of an old Dave Allen classic joke

Every morning a teacher enters the classroom and finds a puddle of urine near the blackboard.

Determined to find out the culprit, she asks the class who the piddler is.

No response

'Ok,' says the teacher, 'I know that you may not want to either own up yourself or, if anyone does know who it is, you might not want to say in public. I will turn all the lights out and whoever it is, or if you know a name come up and write it on the blackboard.

The teacher turns the lights off and the room is in total darkness. There is the sound of a chair scraping, a soft pitter-patter of feet, then a slight hissing noise followed by the scratching of chalk on the blackboard.

The little feet pitter-back down the room and a chair again scrapes.

When the teacher feels that whoever it was is safely back in their seat, the lights are turned back on.

There, in front of the blackboard, is another puddle of urine, and on the blackboard chalked in big letters is written 'THE PHANTOM PIDDLER STRIKES AGAIN'

This is another conundrum isn't it? Does Maggie really exist or is she just an illusion?

Well apart from half the street that is

Sharron sorry for the music reference :-D

Poor Maggie being picked on because she hasn't been RR for a little while.

Maggie is it better for them to walk into you or trip over you?

Allan if you'd just do as you're told before you're even told OH wouldn't need to scream except for when you're a beast :-D

Sorry reading this thread I feel im obviously totally in the dark as I have no idea what it is all about????
I can only guess that someone got RR'D for a thread that upset someone but cant say I have seen anything terribly offensive recently.

Oh well whoever is causing a problem must have been very bored and lonely over xmas.
.
How jolly sad is all I can say!

I mean I read lots of threads and only comment on those that interest me which isn't all of them.If I disagree with a comment I tend to keep it to myself or reply constructively and have a good discussion.

if you don't have a sense of humour then best clear off...haha

This board should be a place to interact with fun, humour and where appropriate compassion, sympathy and a listening ear for those that need it.


News years Eve should have a party thread on here for those staying in. We could have one mighty conga couldn't we?


Keep......smiling.
:-D :-D :-D :-D

Good idea Florence you can start it nearer the time :-D

The RR's were on the Allan journey thread and on this one and for once Genes agreed they weren't offensive comments and restored them....mind you the one on here was very tongue in cheek as in RR to show you can RR without any cause other than to RR someone who'd never been RR before and wanted to join the club...so to speak...

Carry on reading Florence :-D

A sobering warning. This could so easily happen to any one of us!

**DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!**
Well, it had to happen. I am the most vociferous person I know when it comes to drink driving, with the abundance of cabs today, there is just no need for it. But I got caught last night,absolutely stupid of me, I know, but in my defence, I wasn't actually driving. Well I was, but I hadn't intended to. We had a party at our house, and cars were parked right up the street, there wasn't any problems though, as all my guests had been courteous enough to park considerately, and the people who were going to get a cab home were parked on our drive or outside our garage. I had put my own car on a neighbours drive as they were meant to be away for the holidays. Anyway, just after 2 this morning, there was a knock on the door, and it was my neighbour who had to come back, most of my guests had already gone, so they asked me to move my car so they could get into their drive to unload their car. So, not thinking, I grabbed my keys and pulled my car onto the side of the road. Just then, a police car turned into the street and stopped, as I got out the car, they were watching and the driver flashed his lights, beckoning me to come over to them, which I did. The policeman said to me that I looked a bit wobbly and asked if I had been drinking, so I explained exactly what happened, my neighbour supported my story as well, and the policeman seemed sympathetic to what had happened, but then said "would you mind blowing into this bag please". To say my world fell apart might be an understatement, but here I was, getting breathalysed and knowing I would fail, I had after all been drinking for a number of hours by now!
To cut a long story short, I was arrested and taken to the local police station where I was asked to give a sample of blood or urine. I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to needles, so opted for the urine sample, the policeman explained to me that the roadside test wasn't usable in court, so the results of my sample would be what any prosecution was based on. I was given a small bottle to pee into, and was escorted to the toilets, they watched over me while I filled up the bottle, then took it off me for analysis. I finished going to the toilet, and was escorted back to my cell. What seemed like an age later, I was bought from my cell back to the custody room where they told me my results showed I was 5 times over the drink drive limit. So it looks like I am going to lose my licence.
After they told me all this, the police officer left me in the custody room while they went to get some paper work. I felt like breaking down and crying, but then I saw it. He had left my sample on the filing cabinet, so I quickly put it in my pocket and sat back down again. A few minutes later, the policeman came back, and filled some forms in, then I was escorted back to my cell to sleep off the effects of so much drink.
About an hour later, I was rudely awakened and dragged out of me cell and back to the custody room.
It was at this point, I was informed I was not only getting charged with drink driving, I was now going to be charged with taking the piss as well!!!
I hope you all got right to the end, so I took the piss out of you lot too!
