If Cha Want
Hi Snny, if I can call you by your first name.I was more upset by the fact that I clicked the last link because I genuinely wanted to see the speed limits for the USA. To see if they have changed in recent years. They used to be 55mph.
I did not think that JP would be silly enough to put that link in after being warned.
You live and learn. Even at my age.
What will happen if all the noobs come in and post these links. You can only ban them for a couple of days.
What about the links that are activated by your pointer crossing a piece of text. I should not be giving people ideas.
The Forum should make it against the rules now, to prevent the above happening.![]()
The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.
Make it a habit that if you are about to click on a link just glance at the status bar to make sure that the link is going to where you think it's going to
It's good practise anywhere, not just here.
I've read this thread with interest but held back from posting what would, for all intents and purposes, be 'me too'/'me neither' posts.
This post has changed my mind, though.
The other day, Michael Fish came on the BBC breakfast telly to again put everyone right about his weather forecast the day before The Storm of '87; he told us he was talking about a woman (relative of a colleague) worried about a possible storm in Florida when he said not to worry and that it was a different weatherman that had actually broadcast the forecast for the eventful night.
The next day, that Vaughn geezer on London's 95.8 Advert FM had him on the phone on his breakfast show where he re-iterated his words of the day before.
Right after this phone call, like as soon as it ended, the newsgirl came on and her first words were to say that it was 20 years to the day that Michael Fish got the forecast wrong.
I know you're all wondering what the fuck I'm blabbering on about but Skweeky's post I quote above is in exactly the same vein.
Earlier in the thread, Lynx posted that JP was not banned merely for posting the link, but for posting it without word of warning after being requested to only post it again with one.
I don't know how the spider image incident was handled but since neither benchez nor lovewalrus have a spider in their avatars, a request to remove it was made and they did so and whichever it was wasn't banned.
This is entirely different to ignoring a moderator's request and doing it again like a five-year-old seeing how much it can get away with before getting into trouble.

i agree, but now he's sulking in the corner and won't come out to play with us![]()
I don't think my post is similar to your post at all.
I was expressing my opinion, in a non offensive way I hope, and got, more or less personally attacked for it.
Well done
I applaud you
I'm amazed you've just realized - that using different accounts for a larf is part of JP's persona.
I've always found JP to be a decent and honorable chap.
I've never realized how many uptight, self-important members
we have on this board, until the last few months or so.
I can understand when a n00b has problems picking up on the
subtleties and nuances of this forum.
However, most long time members should be acclimated by now.
The former part of this post was directed at you benchez-
not the latter (you're decent enough of a cunt).
Peace, brotherdoobie![]()
