Stirring the pot with the brown stick...

[pgriz]

I've been awol for much of the past six months or so as my time and attention was/is needed elsewhere, but I've tried to re-enter the forum and at least make some token appearances, if for no other reason than I like a lot of people here and admire the usual mix of quality, bantering and silliness that goes on. And since I've missed quite a few discussions and conversations, I've gone through the past few months of posts, looking out for the locked threads. Why? well, you always get more entertainment value when the train wrecks happen. Come on. fess up. You ALL love watching train wrecks, even if you don't admit it to anyone. Except, of course, if you're part of the train wreck. Fortunately, there weren't that many to look through. But they do make for interesting reading.

Just an observation. Carry on.

I have to admit that there have been threads that I didn't read at all, that were totally uninteresting to me until suddenly I realized it was locked. Then, I was all, "Oooooh, what happened there, hmmmmmm?" and opened it immediately

Yup, maybe we should call for a troll feeding subsection!

 

[manaheim]

I actually look for active threads that have more than three pages or some huge number of reads... those are usually interesting. And then ... as a moderator ... sometimes I get to lock 'em, which is sort of a bitter sweet thing. lol

Or the...

temporary leave of sanity section.

Heck, that applies to lots of things in life.

That's my excuse M'Lord and I'm sticking to it.


(for those in the US read "Your Honour")

Well, we'd actually read "Your Honor"

 

[weepete]

Your just lucky I didnt' spell it "Hauners".....

Plus my spelling is shite anyway.

 

[pgriz]

Because while Scots might not spell, they can and do emote.

 

[weepete]

We are actually an emotive and sensitive people mate. Anyone thats been in the wrong football shirt in in the wrong area can attest...

Plus I actually spelled it correctly (after looking it up in the OED)

Now, now, we both spelled it correctly! I wasn't suggesting you spelled it wrong, only that if you were "translating" for Americans, you'd need to take out the "u."

See? There they are, honour and honor standing together in perfect harmony



(Damn, full-sized is way too slow!)

Sorry limr, my spelling has never been great (I'm stronger in other areas) but I genuinley do try to get it reasonably accuate. I do post my fair share of jibes about American English so you are right I shouldn't have been so sensitive this time. (Which, I'm usually not). I apologize for taking a good natured jibe a too much to heart.

Oh no, I'm sorry! I didn't realize I made you feel bad

It's ok, and you shouldn't apologise for anything. Like I said it was a good natured jibe and I was the one who got a bit caught up on it when I really really shoudnt't have mate.
