So I've come home to find that there has been no HSH thread today
Has this new reply system completely killed Off Topic?

Please tell me it's not true.



( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Mon 15 Sep 2008, 18:27, 133 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

It's not dead
There have been a few threads that have attracted a fair number of replies. I suspect that if this new reply system stays around this really will be /talk for people that don't like /talk.

I looked at the espresso thread
and found that there were alot more replies that there seemed to be due to the stupid reply button thing.

I know I wrong to be pissed off by this but this was a change that was asked for by /talk people who don't like us.

*sulks*
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Mon 15 Sep 2008, 18:39, Reply)

Sorry.
I was also asking for this format. I didn't know it would be so unpopular.

I still prefer it over the old format, but maybe that's because I used to hang out on /board before the QOTW took off.

I think it's draft isn't it? For movement of air?

Edit: no, that doesn't look right now. Looks Merkin. I'm going for draught.

Too much beer makes for sleepy b3tans. Might have to go to bed...

More of a large sausage
My skills are not advanced enough to construct a snake ....... On revision I think it should be draft.

Well done sir
Top quality sewing.

Hand or machine?

Thank you
All by hand - The lady in the material shop looked at me like some kind of oddball when I procured materials.

I can't sew for shit
Even with a machine my sewing is dreadful.
The problem is I do like it. I made roman blinds for the bathroom. They are very poor, but I did enjoy making them.

Fortunately my shitty camera
disguises the shoddiness of my sewing ... It is a rather enjoyable process - Although it's just a draft excluder I did get a certain feeling of satisfaction out of it.

I think Swan
the pleasure comes from taking a load of random stuff and making something good out of it.

I think that's why I like baking.
(and teaching).

*edit* I'm off to watch Tess of the D'Urbervilles on iPlayer. Laters.

Very true Mrs Liveinabin although I suspect teaching far more challenging!
I must away to bed as I have to be up for 5.50 but shall leave you all with a picture of the precocious squirrel I spied on top of a neighbours roof earlier today.

I'm just looking in
to say I am off to bed.
Tess was rather good.

Oh, it's you!
Where're the boobs I was promised for getting this fixed?

Oo, they made it nice again
So I can return.

Anything much else been happening tonight?

You said you didn't want boobs
I thought we agreed biscuits.

I'm off to bed now, really.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Tue 16 Sep 2008, 0:05, Reply)

I changed my mind
It's cold tonight here, and biscuits aren't particularly warm.

*sighs*

Yeah, it's working here now.
But I'm going to bed I'm really tired.

Night Mrs Bin and Mr Kaol
I just want to take a moment to say thank you very much to the mods. Yes, some people seemed to like the new format, but a whole lot didn't. The mods then seemed to see what we thought about it, what we wanted instead, and gave us it.

Thank you many times.
