How Do You Think This Site Is Perceived?

[choux]

Today I was having morning coffee with my dearest friend. I mentioned AB to her and some of the usual suspects. Her reply has me smiling still. The waitress must have wondered what had made two pensioners laugh so much.

"It's like eavesdropping on residents in a nursing home with differing levels of mentality."

I could not argue with her reasoning ;)

My Grandson (13) going on 40 - says to me 'Are these people real?'

He has a quizzical expression at the time.

[Prudie]

My daughter and husband both refer to it as my funny friends. That's funny peculiar.

[-Talbot-]

Who are these 'usual suspects'?

[choux]

You have been on AB for all that time, Talbot, and have to ask?

[Bertrum]

Don’t start bringing sanity into AB you’ll ruin it. Better than any the comedy on TV

[anneasquith]

Even the usual suspects know who the usual suspects are !!!

[Prudie]

I don't know who they are, I could describe 3 or more groupings like that and they rarely overlap. Did you mean in news or CB choux?

[-Talbot-]

And each of those grouping will think the others are the 'usual suspects' and not them, Prudie.

[Mamyalynne]

I actually glossed over the words 'usual suspects' not being a fan of labelling.

[choux]

I was giving my friend a general idea of the site. I think it would be unfair to pinpoint just 2 categories, Prudie.
Bertrum, I typed nursing home, not asylum ;)
anneasquith, go straight to Go.

Answerbank is perceived as an institution.

Fill in the rest yourselves. :)

// Who are these 'usual suspects'? //

the underling I will round up the usual suspects

it is a recurring theme throughout the film.

[choux]

Quite so Peter - Capt. Renault Dauphine. 'Tis Mrs May's favourite film, apparently.

I am anonnymouse, why would I care?

[choux]

Roaddent - you cared enough to post ...

[Baldric]

Who said I cared?

[hc4361]

I don't know what you mean. We are a group of responsible, well-balanced adults who obviously know all the answers

[choux]

hc, a valiant effort but not convincing :)

[anneasquith]

Thanks choux ( you've always been my favourite aber ) :-)
