    It is.

    Comedy genuis at times, and the Mods have a cool way of making their points.

    Excellent =)

    Yes - their language / turns of phrase / tongue in cheek humour is priceless…!

    I must admit, it's become a little less entertaining of late, because we're starting to run out of humorous ways to describe the eye-rolling. I'm sure we'll all get our mojo back at some point...

  • Subscribed - thanks for the tip! I always enjoy reading it, but I can never find it for some reason. 

    It reminds me of the police log in the Arcata Eye (which was the alternative newspaper of a small northern Californian town), that I used to subscribe to around the year 2000 despite having no connection to the place at all (I think I read about it in NTK, which will mean nuthin' to no one). For example:

    Saturday, November 24 5:17 p.m. The one-wayness of the streets in the couplet at Foster, Eastern and Western avenues is not universally observed. One pedestrian reported that he always confronts cheaty-sneaky drivers on Foster Avenue who blaspheme traffic calming religion by not going The One True Way.

    I periodically visit that Discussion to check whether I have been banned. 

    I borrowed the idea from journalist/editor  Bill Deedes. He would have breakfast and the morning editions of the broadsheet newspapers delivered to his bed. If could not find his obituary in any of them, he would get up. 
    Be seeing you.

For example:
    My first proper job after uni was working for the Ministry of Agriculture in a satellite office down here in Yokelshire whilst main office was up in Gloucester. Back in them days, everyone had a log in for Windows 95. As part of my job, I had to update vet diaries in order to plan their visits and other staff members. Being an office bod for the most part, I didn't have to plan visits so I used to fill my diary with inane ramblings, recipes, occasional bits of amusing poetry, and jottings on my weekend job in a restaurant kitchen.

     About four months into me working there, some of the Gloucester crew came down and said they'd tried out one of the recipes I wrote in my diary and loved it and could I give some recommendations for the upcoming Christmas festivities? I didn't know what they were on about and then the public nature of my jottings dawned on me. Turns out the the main Gloucester branch were thoroughly addicted to my diary and seeing what gibberish I'd put in it next, and that the then Secretary of State connected to MAFF had also visited and read it and found it alternately hilarious and baffling. When I left MAFF a year later, the final week posts were suitably epic and it was genuinely touching getting internal paper mail sent down from the main branch saying how I'd brought some much needed levity to proceedings.

  • It starts off as "Drew got banned again" the thread.

    Then it morphed into something else entirely!

    Bye!

    here's the thing, he also didn't believe in space, so where did he fall off to?

    I want to give that both a wow and a lol, and let's be honest, a wisdom too, but I'm only allowed to choose one.

    could we  split it into 2?

    One for Drew, and a smaller thread for everyone else?

    Be honest ... we used to cooler or ban people based on whether we could come up with a funny comment, based on their usernames, to post in the thread.
