Humiliating Related Questions And The Stick Check

[joggerjayne]

One of the occasional features on here is that you ask a question, or start a chat, and someone will smugly point out that it's been asked before, and refer you to the previous thread.

As though, once a topic has been raised, it can never ever ever be raised again.

Well now, you ask a question, and the Related Questions section instantly shows you that your question was dull and unoriginal by listing a few previous threads that were just like yours.

The Related Questions section is like that really annoying girl at school whom you really wanted to be against at sports, just so that you could accidentally catch her with your stick.

I never did that, obviously. It was just a hypothetical example.

Just Googling "perspicacious"

Daisy ... it's the wrappers joke.

Yes, exactly Wharton ... They can't get the wrappers off.

I don't give best answer for just "mentioning" Netball.

Ironically, I never give best answers on my Netball threads.

But that's only because nobody ever posts on them.

[joggerjayne]

MT .. Was that just to illustrate the main point of this thread? LOL

LJ ... that is going to be my answer from now on, whenever I tell that joke. Which, as MT has pointed out, I do quite a lot.

[Wharton]

I'll never mention netball again.

[starone]

I have decided to ignore the related questions, they are very off-putting. Perhaps if everyone does this ed will get the message.

[shoota]

So who was it you didn't accidentally clobber and why?

[Nibble]

Er JJ - there ARE no related questions to this one :-)

[joggerjayne]

Nibble ... no, it's quite ironic, really. A thread about Related Question produces no related questions!

[shoota]

I was hoping it might throw up a few 'humiliation' stories.....

[joggerjayne]

Wharton ... There will be no more Netball chat.

Well, until Australia come over (see Netball thread in Sport section)

And then it's the Super League season.

[joggerjayne]

Humiliation stories?

Like almost every Friday night of my entire life?

[joggerjayne]

Oh, hang on ... was shoota being rude? Is that some sort of sex reference?

[shoota]

You don't go to any of those dodgy Brighton clubs on a friday do you?

[shoota]

Moi? I thought it was a ........netball term!

[Wharton]

no comment

[joggerjayne]

Depends what you mean by dodgy.

I dont like the Related questions section at all, its annoying, I've went to comment on one, then realised it was over six years old!!!
