but not a great advert for poetry.

He can’t even write a limerick properly

It’s not just guests who can spoil things.

There is a tendency of one person to flood the boards with a large number of threads, killing discussion altogether by driving more interesting posts off the Active Discussions list. These threads often carry pointless attacks on other regs in order to get a response.

I haven’t mentioned it, tinks,

but I am really pleased to see you contributing to the boards again.

A breath of fresh air, and at the same time a revival of memories of a great chatter.

Whether it’s a brief return or longer, it’s good to hear form you again.

I think it says that people appreciate beauty. I found it very positive.

I don’t like the comparisons being made between the generous response to the burning of Notre Dame and the mean response to the burning of the Grenfell Tower, for instance.

There is enough money to spare to help the victims of Grenfell, and to help reduce the inequality and…[Read more]

Tinks,

I’m told that the obsession kids develop with these games is deadly for their imagination and sense of exploration in life. I was reading research on this, but I can’t remember where.

When I was a kid, we were all pretty hooked on the television, and especially Westerns (war films to a lesser extent – I’m talking of the boys, of…[Read more]

For a long time, it was only cosy and tinks who kept these boards alive, with me.

JC without cosy is like Oliver Twist without the pickpockets

must be…

does a like count as the last post??

Well, Mooosey, I don’t see anyone thinking she was just pissed.

And I for one am really pleased that jamie has resolved her problem. It’s a tought problem to overcome.

Also, I don’t hear any cheering from the rafters that you are gone. You were an important contributor, and the boards have suffered as a result of your leaving.

They’ll adapt if…[Read more]

Cosy a complete idiot who tells stupid lies???

Shurely not!!!!

well, it happened on the boards years  ago.

I’ve seen the lunatics come and go.

Sometimes the boards are packed full of good chat, sometimes the serious boards are good, too – I remember you, ms k, making a very good point about how seriously the Koran is taken by most Muslims.

Sometimes the boards can go fallow over long periods of time.…[Read more]

remembers decent chatters here
