It's quite an undertaking. What made you decide to do that?

A: AOooh ohhh. I know this. It's because it is unacceptable to make lakes feel bad by labelling them 'inferior'. The lakes should be allowed to be what they are without making them feel bad about what they are. In addition. it's bad for the inhabitants to live near a Lake Inferior. It makes them feel less worthy. All lakes are born equal no matter how big or small they are. Q: Why do stinging nettles leave an itchy lump?

Out: A camping kit, complete with bedroll and sweetroll. There's space for a companion dog. There's also a cosy nightshirt for any gender with the slogan: Someone stole my sweetroll and now they're limping! In: A Morrowind crossbow* - oh how I hate that thing! It never shoots straight. Have some bolts too. *I'd rather bash someone with that crossbow than try to hit anything... sigh...

Pagafyr. paga - I think it's paga from the Spanish for 'payment'. fyr - this is the acronym for 'for your records' so 'payment for your records' = receipt! Pagafyr = Receipt

Pagafyr is well tuned to life.

The banned Banned Band is currently on tour - it left Banadia a few days ago and is currently heading for an unknown destination where it is sure to be banned. Banned for raising the name of a banned band even if it is The Banned Band.

Being foolish might be very comforting. Everything you think is obviously right. And you have no troubling doubts. Ignorance and foolishness might be bliss. I'd rather have uncertain troubling doubts.

Do you have a completion date in mind, George? It's raining today. We have the day off. We're very happy!

A: No. But after you've done all that gardening. Been on slug patrol at night and at 6 o'clock in the morning. After you've dug all that ground, raised all those seedlings, watered day and night with heavy watering cans, hoed all those annoying weeds; you just have to convince yourself that your stuff is better than anything else by far. It's a fallacy. It is encouraged by the seed companies and those people who sell hoes. Q: Why don't cuckoos build their own nests?

I've been here a long time. I belong to very little these days. I kind of come and go here - depending. But I haven't posted that much really and most of what I post these days is so far into nonsense that it doesn't register a count. In other words, I'm expected to post nonsense. I enjoy the surreal and the other enjoy-the-surreal people here make me smile. I doubt I'd go as in never come back but I do fade in and fade out... We are about to get very busy so I might be less chatty for a bit (you can all breathe a sigh of relief) as we're having to do some quite serious work on the garden and we're ancient so it takes us ages... And it's not pulling up a couple of weeds and pruning the roses... It's the sort of stuff that Superman should be doing and failing that maybe one of those digger things... a plough might do if it could dodge the trees... My husband has a weird sense of humour and he says it will do us good and keep us fit and ensure a longer life... I'm not sure what state we'll be in though...

A: The person who is not sitting in seat 41 or 43... Q: Why are there twelve months in a year?

Goodness... that was heartfelt. I think you can really technically ban only those people who are actually here. Because otherwise - trust me - the list would be long and contentious... Banned for banning someone who is exempt from banning.

I miss Grumpy's work. He was special. He was so very generous with what he built and he'd love it that some people have picked up his (and Emma's) material and have done things with it. I'm sad you lost friends. I lost a few to the collections thing and I've lost some who got fed up with criticism levelled at their mods. But actually, I've never posted much on the rest of the forum and I haven't made many 'friends' as such. I prefer to take mods, use them and then say thank you. I think I cam across Ban for Fun and the vending machine, oh and Snow Arena and found it hilariously funny because it's so surreal. I like the 'silly answers' thread too for the same reason. Some answers are actually quite convincing.

A: 8 fingers and two thumbs unless you've lost some somehow or didn't start off with that amount. Q: Why does water appear to be wet?

Hah... I may not have a judgement mallet but I do have both Sunder (beat that!) and a mattock... And banned for not recognising the rights of unsympathisers. Unsympathisers have feelings too. Just not sympathetic ones...

A: As long as you don't mix it together. Serve the Chardonay in a glass. Eat the cake with a fork from a plate or bowl. Q: Why do spiders have eight legs?

@Pickysaurus I'm sorry. You don't deserve that at all. Those of us who were there at the inception of the web never ever thought it would become the monster it has. But it has and it grieves me that so many people are so incredibly nasty. We really thought it would be liberating. It would allow people to share - just as it did at first. We never saw any of this coming - nastiness, the advertising, the greed, the pornography, the ranting, the deception, the maliciousness... I could go on with my list of disappointments. Actually, if I had to do that positive and negative list I just hope I could still come up with more positives...

A: NASCAR is caught in a competitive loop. Once it used to be highly watched and commanded huge TV audiences however, people have had to buy increasingly large screens to fit the increasingly large cars onto the screen and unfortunately their houses are no longer large enough to house them so they've taken to building their own much smaller stock cars (as they did in the past) and racing them on their own, proper dirt track routes. So, NASCAR is trying to keep up with the past and is competing against itself... There's no escape from that. The infinite loop problem... There's only one real fix for that... Q: How does yeast work?

George - How can robins be annoying? Banned for being ill-tempered in this thread. It's called Ban for Fun. You need to be in the Feeling Cross Thread... Pagafyr - Banned for being unsympathetic.

Banned. Spirits of any kind aren't allowed here under section 23 c of the agreement you signed. I do wonder if anyone actually read that agreement. I think you all just ticked...

A: It's an anagram of Rob Givy who was an early 20th century artist born in Australia. He was famous for his painting of kelpies. Rob Givy also wrote under the name of Roy G Biv. He was famous for his detective stories set in the outback and featuring Boy - his dog. Of course, you may also be referring to Ivor Byg who used the same anagram. He was a crossword compiler from the Isle of Wight. Q: Why do trees have leaves?

A: Only if you enjoy it... Q: Why is summer warmer than winter?

People following you doesn't make leaders.
