I dread to think what my neighbours say about me

That's a good point. Maybe I will apologise to someone whom I think would take it in better spirits. But I worry that you might develop an uncharacteristic prejudice, or worse still, that it might arouse an unjustified paranoia "I am sure I have not offended him, but maybe someone else"... Least said, soonest mended, and keep the voices in your head inside your head - oh, if only our politicians could hear those words!

Deceitful bastarts that they are... Back in the day we had visitors from head office in the UK visiting us, and we were going to adjourn to the pub. The road there was simple, though could have been simpler, and I explained "Just turn right at the sleeping brown dog". On that one day, it was gone. I have never trusted sleeping dogs since.

Step we gaily off we go, Heel for heel and toe for toe Step we gaily off we go, Off tae Marie's wedding. So as you don't think I wasn't listening to your advice...

For some time now, I have been labouring for under the misapprehension that one of our current posters had offered me a punch in the head, and I continued the to think ill of him for it. Tonight, I reviewed the previous conversations, and that kind offer had been made by someone else altogether. Should I send a PM to apologise for the ill will I have borne this poster, even although I have not recently commented on his posts, and it may well be a surprise that I have ever borne him any disagreement, let alone resentment or ill-will? Notwithstanding the above, I think I and the poster to whom I might apologise might have some ancient difference of opinions, so I would rather not refresh old grudges. If I receive a message “Cowboy, ye’re a Tosser”, I will understand

They should ban people. Maybe the ones you don’t like, or just at random, as a warning. They should employ bots to post upbeat, cheery open-ended comments; or just comments, to keep the hit count up and the advertising revenue coming in… Just a minute… How long ago did that happen? Did you knew that about this, Crossy? ____ Tick here if you are not a robot

Harder to read them, or harder to find them? You could fit your phone up to a VGA projector, or pay a nurse to read them aloud. Finding is not something easy to solve.

I prefer to give money to charity rather than denigrating the unfortunate when I want to feel self-righteous; I am lucky that I have money to spare, and I am sure you feel lucky you are not so pompous

I think you misheard him.

This forum has been like a morgue recently, so I thought it was time for a cryptic thread. Post a cryptic description of where your bike’s been, and let others describe the photo; please quote the original description, as I fully anticipate there will be loads of challenges running in parallel.... then a week later, or sooner, or later, as you see fit, post the photo.
