The totally off-topic thread

If they get paid per post edited/deleted I think our subs might have to go up!

A novel idea , I'll bring it up with admin at our next meeting. I'll be into most posts correcting the autocorrect spelling and changed words

Am I missing something? I have searched everywhere but can't see where I can choose to ignore my posts.

You miss nothing TonyHancock . But why would you not want to re-read your own posts for laughs?? Surely that would defeat the purpose of our own ego

I'll think about it.

Remember I'm on Fiji time at the moment :!:

I wonder if the mods have kept count of how many posts they have deleted in the past few days?

I have no idea. However, the majority of moderation activity does not include removing posts. By far the biggest portion of moderation activities is focused around moving threads to the appropriate forum (thanks to those who point out the obvious threads in incorrect forums, sometimes we miss it), fixing obvious typos, especially in thread titles, and fixing quoting errors in posts (often just a missing "]" or "/"). Removing posts is something reserved for breaches of the posting guidelines, and thankfully most members respect those guidelines as well as their fellow forum members, even if they disagree with someone's view/opinion. Moderation in moderation is the goal, but sometimes we are required to exercise the tools at our disposal. "Fun" is not a term I would use to describe the need to apply those tools.

Try this: Add TonyHancock to your ignore list!

Or put the kava down

I'll have some kava at the BBQ for anyone that wants some

Was the weirdest thing getting a taxi driver to take me to a store to buy kava, last time I was in Fiji. He ended up buying it for me, explaining I'd be ripped off... and I did get a good price then I brought it back to Australia, declared it and was just waved through customs...

Just noticed that OJU pushed back in SYD and has now returned to the gate. At least one engine was running judging by the fume/heat haze. Think it might be the Jo'burg flight. But not sure.

Anyone able to make sense of this (the French, that is)?

French politicians want to replace mum and dad with parent "1" and "2" | News.com.au

parent1 and parent2? And they want to make it a law? Whackjobs! Next they'll come up with something like D1 and D2! (joke, joyce)

What a great idea :!: :shock:

Shouldn't it be P1 and P2?
Of course doesn't 1 imply that person comes before 2?
So they will have to go back to Sqare 1 or maybe 2.
:shock:

I've had enough this week thanks Sam.

As if us P1's have not had a bad enough week so far on AFF!!

Well the French have introduced a threshold for radiation exposure so they're not that dumb.

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you
can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and
plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing
is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about
it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a
bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!




The letter "e" which is the most common letter used in the English
language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.

It doesn't really help when I can see the entire post contents all at once, even on my smartphone screen.

But FWIW I have seen this bit before.
