I'm watching 'Have I got news for you'. What a great show!

I'm in an empty bar listening to Christina Branco - Beautiful voice.

Empty Bar? On Saturday night? Where are you again?

STOP PRESS:

Foreign female students boycott bar !!

A Cambridge bar may have to close after the Overseas Girls Protection League, posted a warning notice to all it's members.

" We can not go into that place without one of us getting porked " A spokesperson for the organization said.

The barman at the centre of the controversy was unavailable for comment as he was " tired ".

I'm in Gullivers soi 5 with a cold San Mig.....

I have just had toasted Irish brown soda bread for breakfast. Plastered with lovely marmalade. Yummy!

Well if it's so good - you should share the recipe... is there one where you do not have to use buttermilk?

Not that I know of. My mum used to use sour milk. Of course that was back in the day when milk went sour, nowadays it just goes off!

Can somebody explain the "PM" service to me ?? I may be riding close to the wind here with the powers that be but why are things deleted from a personal message ??

If you mean things like web addresses, that is done automatically by the forum software, no human intervention happens.

But why Thaddeus ??? I can't see the problem here mate. I'm not sending porn sites accross the air etc just some links of interest to a freind.

Well, I'll be making an assumption here, I'm sure if someone knows better they will explain. It is probably a setting that is turned on or off for the whole forum.

Email addresses are removed to protect users from spam and web addresses removed just in case someone does post a link to a site that does contravene the rules of decency, legality etc....... their probably isn't an exception list to allow some things to stay and some to go, it would be a 24 hour a day job for someone to manage that list, so it's safer and easier just to remove it all.

It's very easy to bypass anyway.

Yeah, i think it's automatic Chavy. If you wanted to send a link to the BBC for instance, just send it with spaces like www . bbc . co . uk

Thank you I shall remember in future

Ah - you learn something new every day. I was 99% sure that PMs were totally unedited, unmoderated, un-everything. Until a mod/admin clarifies this, I still have my doubts (with the greatest of respect, Thad). I would have said it's amost as sure a bet as Kayo not making his 20 day abstention distance.

17 days to go.

I'm sweating.

17 days to go.

I'm sweating.

Just keep on sweating, it's good for you!

Tiggs, you should actually tell him to stop doing what is making him sweat..............................He'll go blind.

feeling very lethargic today

It's all those feathers.

There is a thread going in the Pub and Fun room, on what powers you would like from the series Heroes 2.

Well I would like the power to grab the big blonde one and do a " Kayo ".

I'm glad I got that off my chest and thank G-od for bedders. I just didn't feel I could say it there, most wouldn't understand doing a " Kayo " anyway..............................feel better now, I'll go and lie down for a while.

Read this sentence:

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not go back and count them again.

How many 'f's did you count?

There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. if you spotted four, you're above average. if you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. if you found all six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"s. The human brain tends to see them as "Vs" instead of "F's".

My Mom ( RIP ) always said one day I would be a genius !!!!

.....and not whilst under the influence.You've spoilt my fun Suiging!

.....and not whilst under the influence.You've spoilt my fun Suiging!

Sorry

Edited out the how to do it bit

Just joking genius,must admit I only counted 5 at first.

Oh ffffffff !!I've lost the thread somewhere

The first time I saw this 'Finished Files' thing (in a pub somewhere a few years ago), I couldn't understand the issue. Come to think of it, I still don't. When someone hands you the bit of paper, they say 'Count the Fs'. You count them s-l-o-w-l-y because you think there must be a trick involved. There isn't. Amazing.
