Josco 48 Posted October 11, 2005 Moderators, how about you perform your duties once in a while? And do what exactly? There no real inflammatory comments, no spams, no porn (yet) and no pointless ranting and swearing. I think the job of a moderator is to just that, moderate. If some members are enjoying themselves posting about a topic that is NOT related to a celebrity death then I think they are free to carry on. If the thread is not to your personal taste it is not compulsory to read it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 120 Posted October 11, 2005 It's more likely that posts whose topics consist only of whining about other members are going to give a poor impression of the forum. There is a lot of it about at the minute. Let's all show some humour, pull together and save the vitriol for the ranters. Mr Gunjaman has set an excellent example in the Osmond thread. BTW, this is my thread. It wasn't death-related back then when I started it and it doesn't have to be now. So there. That said, longer exchanges which may not be of universal interest could work more effectively using live chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boudicca 702 Posted October 11, 2005 Mr Gunjaman has set an excellent example in the Osmond thread. Hasn't he just! Most impressive. Best rant deconstruction I've seen in ages. Cheers for bringing it to my attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda 3 Posted October 11, 2005 Can I just say that I've had my contraceptive device removed this evening and new one put in it's place. It's very painful now injection has worn off. Apparently my muscle had grown over the orignial one & they had to kind of dig it out. It was horrible. But better than child birth I should imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brings tears to the eyes, that description. I hope you employed a suitably-qualified mechanic for the job... I've just had my car back from the local "garage". Ii looks like someone's used it for spares on Scrapheap Challenge. I may as well have asked them to fit an IUD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excuse my ignorance, but how exactly does one exercise that muscle? For Godsake!!!! It was removed from my ARM! My LEFT ARM! Bloody hell, I thought Josco was a being a bit strange!

Star Crossed - tell me you car's not a Corrado?? lol, Corrado. No, I'm afraid not. I know a chap who drives one, and I know you all get very, very possessive and, indeed, obsessive about them. The chap in question (a member of the same tenpin bowling league as myself) talks about his Corrado ALL the time, even when I'm taking a shot, a habit which I consider to be cheating. To get my own back, I refer to it as his "Golf" which annoys him no end. He has recently purchased a vanity-plate containing the letters VRG (the G, obviously, buggered about with to make it look like a 6, lol), and I believe he is active in a number of internet fora/forums (it depends which country you're in, before anyone gets pedantic about the plural) relating to said car. Who are these people who spend all their time posting in forums online? I mean, really... get a life What I know, by osmosis, about Corrados, by Star Crossed:- - They'll make a "Scooby-Doo" (Subaru Impreza) look slow on the motorway. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of impressive engine modifications, usually with brightly-coloured hoses/plugs/manifolds etc. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of body kit/spoilers. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of stereo equipment. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of alarm system. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of suspension modifications. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of paintwork. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of registration plate. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of upholstery. - They can be retro-fitted with several grand's worth of pretty much anything. - They can take over your life, and you could lose your spouse as a result. - It's best to get things done to them by a VW DEALER I, like Josco, was under the impression you were talking about an IUD. Who knew you could get them in your forearm? Not me. Thanks for the new knowledge; I'll have to find a way to incorporate that into conversation with someone soon. That'll be tricky, but I'll give it a go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
