It became clear yesterday evening that it is possible to send a positive report of a post to GNHQ.

No thank you EP in 1982 I was into Iron Maiden, Rush, David Bowie and Queen, to name a few.

One of my favourite songs ever, and the best version, Bluebelle.
It moved me to tears when I first saw and heard it.

BlueBelle Wed 04-Aug-21 20:20:44

Here’s my favourite EP I could listen to this mans voice all day not sure if it will copy or not

You have a persistent streak, EP! Might I ask what your line of work was prior to retirement?

Mollygo Wed 04-Aug-21 17:50:15

I remember, in my school autograph book someone wrote on the last page,
“By hook or by crook, I’ll be last in this book!”
Someone else posted
“Did you ever discover you can write in the cover?”
I think this will be my last post on this thread, but I may pop back to see if anyone has written in the cover. There’s still 896 posts to go.grin

Please notice the instrumental fills between the singing.

Don’t worry about it.
Lots of us have started threads that haven’t gone well (well I know have) and lots of us know that we aren’t others cup of tea (well I know am).
Just move on, forget about it and start another thread another day flowers

Oh happy day!

Even I’m loosing my patience with you now EP! smile

There isn’t an ‘additional sodding feature’.

We always had the gumption to realise that one can use the Report Button to quickly communicate with whoever is on duty!

We already know that one can use it for a variety of useful reasons.

You do not need to tell us how to use the / our site, as Lisa, Maw and others have tried to tell you.

It is getting on people’s goat ?

Oh dear.

I'm only on page 1!

BlueBelle Wed 04-Aug-21 16:11:35

I don’t think you have to get it Molly

I don’t get this thread at all.
Just a note to EP-I did pm to ask if you were OK the other day but got no response.

The thread was just intended as general information so as to bring to more general attention a message from GNHQ that was on page 8 of a thread where many people might not notice it.

But people keep posting to it, so it has gone on.

It was just intended to draw attention to an additional facility of which some people had not been aware.

It was not intended to replace any other facilities.

It just seemed to be a simple, straightforward, sensible helpful announcement when I posted.

Yet a thread developed and we are now on page 4.

Three of the German videos were chosen specifically because of the inclusion of English subtitles.

Searching for the lyrics online and then getting translations into English to get a good idea of the meaning is interesting.

Here is a video of an English version of a German song. It is interesting that the English lyrics are different from the English lyrics usually heard in versions in English.

The question was:

EP, have you commented on / participated in any other threads than the ones started by yourself?

I answered the question and I included evidence to provide provenance for that answer.

I referred to eight threads, with direct links to seven of them.

Two of them has resulted in a matter arising.

A list of links to music videos in German is a participation in a thread that I did not start. Some people might have enjoyed those videos and they may have been new to them.

The title of the thread is "Nur zum Spass ... Only for fun".
So, five nice videos.

The Portuguese thread was fun, lots of posts on various topics. I participated.

So what is your assessment of my participation in the other six threads to which I referred please?
