Can I just warn any lurkers out there...........

I love the way things develop on here! On another thread (No ensuite?) we went from lavatories to lentils!

At this rate Leonardo Di Caprio will soon head a Mafia empire that launders their drug money by stuffing mattresses with it!

Where is the joke thread? I've just received one by email but can't find where to post it.

I think both Goldsmith and Wilde said something similarl but with a slight variation in the wording???

It's called Just Jokes, Elegran - it won't be far down the list.

Yes I know that but which list ? It is not on the "last hour " or the "I'm on" or the "active" so far as I can see. Which topic is it in? and why don't we have a wholetopic called "jokes"?

it's 'ere

At the moment, it's ninth from the bottom on the Active page.

Found it and posted. Thanks.

Grannylin Yes, youbare quite right, but I was talking about Boss of the Goats, re- trolls and trip, trap, trip trap over the rackety bridge. I was being very silly.

You bare – whoops – that's a bit presumptive. Sorry – you are. [Damn acrylic fingernails emoticon]

Presumptuous, not presumptive. Sorry, sorry twice and thrice. absentgrana – enough . Cup of coffee and then bedtime with a nice story book.

absentgrana it's becoming surreal

...' becoming '?

It often does.

Bad absent. Cup of coffee. Bedtime and a serious book. It was the goats that did it – you really cannot trust goats these days . Goodnight and soon .

I've remembered!

It was because they don't allow threads about another thread. I had an email telling me why they'd deleted it.

Phoenix Lavatories to Lentils is not all strange. In fact it is usually a very quick run and an essential reason for an ensuite!

Petallus if you are reading this, forgive me yet again for getting the double consonants in you name mixed up.

It's really easy to write the correct spelling out 10 times with a word processor. [

I think every computer has its own IP address, so you could use two different emails to have two different profile names but GN should be able to see if it came from the same computer. I am not 100% sure on this.

You could use someone else's computer, or have several computers yourself, if you were determined to be a troll, or to have multiple user names. I really don't see how any Forum administrator can always know who's dodgy.

Nellimoser that would have been so handy for lines. Does anyone do 'lines' anymore? A somewhat pointless exercise but one I suffered from

Yes Ana but people get tripped up. I have seen it happen on Gransnet, a poster had two profiles and mentioned the husband of the other poster as though he was her own. I could just about see the oh ooh when she realised what she had done. After that one of the profiles was never used again.

Yes, you'd have to be very careful to keep the two (or multiple!) personalities separate. I suppose it wouldn't matter if you were a troll who just posted the odd inflamatory comment every now and again...

Ana and it does beg the question: why would you? And then again whatever the answer, does it really matter? We are not going to be infected! Whatever public forum there is, there will be multiple posters, some who actually 'sign up' to the ethos of the forum, some who just post. Hard to control and it's all about gathering email addresses.

Yes, just speculating, Sel!
