Catty comments should be in pets corner. :munkeh:

Surely if there is one subject though that people are talking about it deserves a seperate thread? Just a thought there really, seems sensible and keeps crap volume down doesn't it. Sorry if you don't like that idea...actually...no I'm not

So I'll just carry on cat-spiel in the bits and bobs then? *Opens palms* I don't get forums, this makes sense to me if there is a volume of people talking about one subject.

No, Myoptika is agreeing with you - that more people should start threads instead of sticking everything in Bits and Bobs, which we do because we're all lazy.

All I'm suggesting is something like a two-week trial without BnB and see how we get on. This place is deader than Craster's dress-sense.

"Everyone" here emigrated from another forum where the forum owner :attitude: locked/deleted anything resembling a general rambling "bits and bobs" topic. So we're all still overcompensating. It's like an in-house twitter feed.

-_-; Sorry, I hate 'text' talk as I always take it to be sarcastic e.t.c

Plus I think people are out to get me (looks round)

Well...surely it's a bit more active since I joined? (half hearted grin) I'm trying ^.^

The problem being is that we miss a lot of good stuff because people don't feel confident about starting new threads about it. I know I miss a lot of it, and I'm one of the greatest (quantity, not quality) contributors here. For our more casual boarders, I do wonder how much stuff just gets missed, especially if someone posts something in here when another discussion is in full flow.

Oh, err.. Never mind. It's a lazy joke at the expense of someone who left just before you joined, who (I think) accused us of accusing him of having a persecution complex.

Use the search for author function if you really must.

Well, I'm confident making new threads. It's not like anything bad will happen other than it being deleted is there? What's to be worried about? That's so silly :/

I may make one on work and what people do-I always love to hear people talk about what they do e.t.c

Lock it if you want love

I still have tonsillitis.

I am going to Ireland with the Future Mrs Curiosity, and also my Dad and Stepmother, to introduce said parents to the parents of the FMC.

Due to the hefty antibiotics I'm on, I cannot drink during this time.

However, it does give me the opportunity to say I am getting a new telly for my 360.

One of these, will be replacing one of these:

Yay!

Please, no one tell me it is rubbish.

Do we have a 'books' topic?

EDIT: Also-

Where can I go on holiday that is,

A, Nice and cheap
B, Not too long on a plane
C, Naked male waiters serving drinks
D, A pool with a bar in it-no need to get out for a pee ^.^*

I need to fly, I have a morbid fear of it-but I HAVE to do it if I am ever going to go to Tokyo

The Samsung T220HD Produces vivid colours with no discernible smear and has a multitude of input options that should satisfy even the most needy of cable hounds. Where the unit falls down is its tendency to explode in the viewer's face which can often result in having to pick bits of glass and metal out of your face. Otherwise a solid performer 4/5

Looks like a 226BW with added telly bits. It looks good. It would annoy me for being 16:10 though. I hope it letterboxes your 16:9 inputs/transmissions.
