It's a mixed bag really....
Lies on QOTW - I don't care so long as it's well written. Strangely, a few /talkers get very upset online about this. Who cares, if it gets a laugh and entertains then it earns a click, true or not.

Crap QOTW choices - It normally winds me up, but lately I've fallen out of love with QOTW. If a question doesn't inspire then I'll sit it out and wait until next week.

Best of - If I've worked hard at crafting a post then I want it to appear on best of. However, if someone else wins then I'm happy to accept it entirely on merit. What does irk me though is that I've never, ever had a suggestion for QOTW picked. Bastard mods.

Didnt you top the best page and not make it into the newsletter once, back when the top ones were automatically put in?

Yep, I did as well
and it wasn't in the newsletter. I came second, so it should have featured in there, but not a sausage.

Yeah, that happened to me too.

I think its personal...

Not trying to cause trouble or anything, but I've heard rumours.

Good.
If I'm pissing people off, I'm doing something right.
Plus it's attention.
Without that I'll wither and die like one of Fritzl's inbred children.

I think you're right
but I can't be arsed to start a witch hunt.

Someone start one for me please.

If you can't be arsed, we could start off lightly... like... make a list of names of people who have been behaving suspiciously.

I'll summon you when I want to see the list

Well thats the first fucking name sorted.
( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Thu 14 May 2009, 11:54, Reply)

It's a fucking name?
as opposed to the regular kind?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 14 May 2009, 11:55, Reply)

Careful, I'll list it twice.

Sometimes I think (PJM)
you can read my mind!!

I only get upset if I miss a good Q when I'm on holiday. But even then 'upset' is a bit of an over-statement. Anyway, I've never bothered about sticking to the question - I just tweak the story to fit the subject.

I have no interest in gambling so sat that one out. I'm off for two weeks now so you won't hear from me for a bit.

And if anyone tries to bully me into posting before Friday...I'll tell.

p.s. Not sure I like this new format, still, you can't halt progress I suppose.
