can i suggest

[bobtheduck-]

that you all catch a grip? its a set of pixels! :)

[Woofter]

I have a HUGE pile of officially-stamped "This question has the brains of a whooping gibbon" tokens.

Shall I start with this one ?

[dot.hawkes]

yes and give yourself the bonus pack before you start

[-Zorro-]

whiffey...exactly how many names have you used today

[bobtheduck-]

whiffey why are you so tedious is it genetic? :)

[whiffey]

One Zorro, why do you ask ?

[ummmm]

I've got a grip bob........a very very tight grip....

[-Zorro-]

because you are the only one who mentions gibbons all the time...yet woofer is too...and has your hand writing

[whiffey]

Zorro, this raises concerns with me but at the same time no concerns. I have not commented, but I am seeing how easy it is to write in the mode of another user, and this one has picked up on my foibles quite well. No matter, it seems harmless, even mildly entertaining where much nastier things are going on in AB.

[Woofter]

Got you going for a while there though whiffey, didn't I ?

I was just trying to demonstrate how absurdly simple it is to become someone else in a medium where there are no eyes. I think you are ok deep down though.

[stewey]

I am relatively new to this, so could some enlightened person out there please let me know if Whiffey and Woofter are merely two sides of the same con.........I mean coin?

[whiffey]

Well stewey, it's a toughy. Woofter is a bit of a problem for me, but it is intellectual (vide supra) and so far friendly, and yes, I am very fond of gibbons because they so nearly represent the makeup of AB. Woofter is NOT me, but I do take my hat off to her for being a nice sort of prat.

[-Zorro-]

I prefer Chimps...coz I look like one...I have about the same vocal skills too

[battersby]

I wish you'd all stop getting at each other.This is not "Arguebank"!!!!!!!!!!!

[whiffey]

battersby, thanks for joining the thread, now at least there are two of us on here, I was getting lonely. I have to write the script AND play all the parts and AB pay is sh!te.

[Pippa68]

I agree with what you are suggesting bob.

[smudge]

Great suggestion bob!

I take this site very lightly - it is after all, a piece of electical equipment, enabling you to have contact with cyber people you're hardly likely to meet.

If the plugs were pulled tomorrow.....back to the real world, real friends & family! ;o}

[smudge]

P.S. Further to battersby's comments, with which I wholeheartedly agree:

"Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words can never harm me".

(Although there are different variations)!
