As I’ve already said, we don’t all have the same sense of humour…it was the idiocy of the situation that I found funny, real-life idiotic situations often make me laugh more than contrived jokes, but hey, that obviously doesn’t make you laugh – no problem.
There’s a lot posted here that I don’t find funny but others do, I don’t judge or comment on it, I simply accept that we’re all different and what’s important is that people find time to laugh…laughter is good for the soul, whatever it is that tickles your funny bone.
Not even disturbingly funny? Ah well, guess we don’t have the same kind of sense of humour…
Daft is good sometimes….only sometimes though….well, most times actually!
Can you tell I’m blonde??
It is today isn’t it? I’m pretty sure it is……
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA! :D/

We should have a UK day – 22nd July, to commemorate the Treaty of Union between England and Scotland on that day in 1706 – the birth of the United Kingdom, when our island became one nation for the first time.
Hmmm, and there was me thinking that the United Kingdom included Wales and Northern Ireland….
Wow, my welsh accent would really come back with a vengeance if I came to the meet!
Bit too close to the family home for comfort, but who knows, I might make it if only to bring back lots of welsh cakes, lava bread and fresh cockles from Swansea Market! (does lava bread freeze I wonder?)
Happy birthday Tina, hope it’s a good one xxxx
How ironic….on one thread there’s a call for 24/7 moderation, on another thread there’s the question of why all the guides! :lol:
Jack Farrington and UKPilot are most definitely not the same person, and tbh I don’t even see how people can confuse the two. There are a lot of nasties out there, but the tendency these days seems to be to accuse each and every one of being jack or pilot, or now maybe even they’re all pilot. The fact is that some of the nasties are probably regulars in disguise and people that we know….surely I can’t be the only person to realise that?
This is an adult site, it does not claim to be moderated 24/7, and the assumption is that we are all adults – unfortunately that is measured in physical age rather than mental age. So, if we’re all adults, we can spot the nasties and see how they operate, surely? and surely we’re adult enough to not rise to the bait and to use our iggy button or even, heaven forbid, our off button? If people wind you up it’s because you have given them the power to do so, you can take back that power at any time.
Time and again I sit there watching otherwise rational people taking the bait, feeding the trolls, getting very wound up until in “defending themselves” they become as bad as the abuser. While they are in this tunnel vision they don’t seem to realise that they are giving the abuser the very attention they crave, showing themselves in a less than flattering light, and being oblivious to the chatters that they do like leaving the rooms because this isn’t what they came to chat for. They don’t realise that the “nice” chatters are leaving, and all that will be left given enough time are the abusers, the “defenders” and the newbies who wonder what the hell they’ve joined. And then we get the “he/she started it” – this isn’t a playground (despite the number of people who come here for “fun”), it doesn’t matter who started it, what matters is how it develops, and it takes two (or more) to make that happen.
If chatters brought a huge sack of salt into the room with them and apllied large pinches regularly to what other chatters say, if they stopped giving out personal information that they wouldn’t want to see in the room, and if they exercised their iggy buttons and off switches more regulary, the nasties would get bored and find somewhere else to abuse….speaking of which, Jack is probably rubbing his hands in glee right now at all the attention that he’s stirred up. :wink:
