Hello Geronimo's wife.

How come you've let him smoke that dodgy stuff for two consecutive days on the run now? He's certainly gone off at a tangent (tan θ = opposite over adjacent).

 

Aren't you concerned about the pile of dishes he still hasn't washed - or is it safer to wait until his head clears before you left him loose with any cutlery?

Actually, his weird behaviour is due to not smoking for 2 days ....

I see Colin is only a couple of hundred posts away from his 8th dot .......

You're 'spot on' with that.

[geronimo]

Just been informed that Ladbrokes have me at 3-1 that I will get a posting holiday on my 4,999th post !!!

I hope it is just the dot you get and not "The Black Spot"

 

[geronimo]

Actually, the gap between the 6th and 7th dot is far too long in my opinion, it seems like forever to reach that magical 5k post mark!!!! We should petition Rimmer about this

I must admit I am very close to the line, but my lawyer assures me that to date, I haven't gone far enough to lose any dots, or even get a posting holiday!!!

Sorry I'm new I did not see anything about holidays in the rules. Or does this site shut down sometimes like the shops at Christmas?

[BobBKK]

It's not how many warnings you have had then?  lol

A posting holiday means a ban, and I wouldn't expect a 4 dotter to know that

Dear, dear dear! Just about to start WW3 and we are concerned with dots.

 

Well, I've read some of the posts and it seems to me that it's a race between a couple of posters to get that special 8th spot. Or is it 9th?

 

On to something more important; POTY. I think all entrants, this year, should do a mission statement. Sort of what they want for TVForum, Thailand and the world in general. A hundred words minimum.

 

I don't think Jingthing is going to break 100k posts this year.

The 7th dot manual just popped through my letter box, only 6 posts to go

If he does, he will be presented with a titanium keyboard ....

It would be due to the lead lined case that the dots are stored in ....... Its very heavy they say

Or, as Stan Laurel said in the film Brats (1930): “You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead”

So that DOES explain all the dishes - they've been piled high with cold turkey.

[geronimo]

There have been suggestions that I started this thread with the intention of increasing my past numbers, but I can categorically deny this. One more post and I'm there!!!!!

[geronimo]

So, this post should see a 7th dot appear under my name ... YIPEEE

 

(dancing around hysterically with a bottle of chang in hand)

[geronimo]

YES THE 7TH DOT IS THERE!!!!!!

It'll come off with bleach...

[geronimo]

Now I can look down at the 6 dotters with utter contempt!!!

[bluesofa]

Just looking through my incoming notifications and saw this one. I initially though it was regarding dots, but turned out to be a post about amulets:

I have a stack of them for sale...all guaranteed genuine and will bring endless good fortune to all buyers....

They're all 2nd hand with no news of what happened to the previous owners

[geronimo]

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the following people,

 

Rimmer, Charlie H, Darksidedog and the many TV members who have endured my silly posts for so long, and after mild celebrations, I look forward to the long hard slog to reach my 8th dot.

[geronimo]

There's a journalist peering through my window. I'm sure I ticked the "no publicity" box!!!!

If they were selling dots, they would have been executed. Explains why there's no news of them ....

Too late Geronimo !!

You’ve made the headline in the Daily Star !!

“ partygoers warned about the after effects of crushing ya-ba into your daily cuppa “

“ 32 years old Geronimo is latest victim “

That was many moons ago, when I was dotless .....

What a sad bunch we are, 8 pages about dots, gawd help us if that is all we have to spend our time on.????

Probably executed by a member of the black hand gang.
