19th January, 21:00 by weecalf:

“Stand in premier wants out so she will be be removed early September . remember where you saw it first”

Well I remembered where I heard it first. It’s now early October. Which September did you have in mind?

have you been counting the days since January 19? How bizarre.

Do you want me to dig out all those posts where you predicted the London Olympics would be a failure?

[youngmafbog]

Despite your sarcasm it is a reasonable question. Raise another thread if you want answers to the Olympic question.

OK, weecalf was a week out, give the guy some slack.

[gingejbee]

weecalf is probably watching a TV programme that he/she hates, so that it becomes the subject of a "I'd rather (several possibilities here) than watch another three hours of this stuff"...

[jno]

ymb, my answer is evidence that everyone makes mistakes, even the noble and learned New Judge, who might however remember that starting threads aimed at criticising individual ABers is discouraged, whether glass houses are involved or not.

Blimey, everyone be careful when making dated predictions on here!!!!

New Judge has them all noted on his calendar!

“have you been counting the days since January 19? How bizarre.”

No. I have a very modern gadget called a computer and I have a facility on it where I can set reminders to do things on a certain date. I shouldn’t think too many people have them.

“Do you want me to dig out all those posts where you predicted the London Olympics would be a failure?”

Yes please.

“…the noble and learned New Judge, who might however remember that starting threads aimed at criticising individual ABers is discouraged,..”

Is it? Nobody told me that. It’s not in the Site Rules. But most of all, there’s quite a lot of it about. Anyway, it’s not criticism. I was just interested to hear from weecalf about his quite precise prediction, what with it being the Tory Party Conference and all that.

That depends how you interpret this one ...

"Treat others as you would like to be treated and respect other people’s opinions."

I do. I don't mind anybody querying anything I have said or pointing out I am incorrect.

"Discussions can get passionate but users should moderate their language and refrain from personal attacks and profanity."

There was none of any of the above in my question.

"We encourage lively debate but name calling, harassment or abuse will not be tolerated."

Nor that.

My question was a lighthearted rebuke to a prophesy which didn't materialise. There was no nastiness, no abuse, no personal attacks, no harassment. I do worry that there are more "snowflakes" about than I thought.

NJ,
Another great day at the Conference. Pity it has to end on Thursday, I am loving it.
I am actually glad TM is still there, this car crash wouldn't be the same without her.

The big fun will be next week (or whenever it is) when she finally sacks bojo in her reshuffle.

[Mamyalynne]

Can I sneak in an 'arghhhhhhhh' - that's better.

Every time someone says 'Snowflake' when it isn't actually snowing.

[New Judge]

Glad to be of assistance, Mamy. I've awarded you BA 'cos it made me laugh :-)
