I'll have to think twice about it before I give it a second thought.


Anyone know where this thread is going?

It sure is pointless, but at least it has stifled serious debate for a while. Serious debate leads to uncivil tongues, personal attacks and people being banned from the forum. It's an absolute menace.

Well, in theory, they shouldn't, but yes, they often do. I enjoy reading a good debate, and occasionally participating in one, but pointless banter tends to be more fun. :up:

Maybe one could inject a good debate with pointless banter? :crazy:

I'm embarrassed; I don't get the Lennon joke you posted earlier, John. :eek:

Perhaps we should inject this pointless banter with the occasional serious debate too? Eg I love the song "Imagine" very much, but was J.L a bit of a hypocrite singing "Imagine no possessions" while sitting at the grand piano in the ballroom of his mansion? Discuss. :confused:

(I was stunned to discover my 16yo nephew who is very much into music and plays drums and keyboard had never even heard of "imagine". When I played it to him he raised his eyebrows as if to say my tastes were incomprehensible to him!)

Like most of my jokes it's not very funny, but (here in the uk at least) people often put "ono" after the price in a classified ad meaning "or near offer". Ok, you can laugh now. No? :rolleyes:

Here is a suggestion to give this thread some much needed structure and focus. We could have a theme which changes every week. (I'll choose the first one). Any type of post is ok - joke, poem, serious point, story, music, video, etc - so long as there is some sort of connection to the theme. At the end of the week I'll decide who has made the best contribution, then they get to choose the theme for the following week, and to decide who takes charge for the week after that. And so on ... NB Anyone who wanders off topic will be sent to Mike's girlfriend for "corrective therapy."

I've got a horrible feeling this isn't going to work, but what the heck!

Good opening line for speech (eg Best Man) :

I feel like a mosquito in a nudist colony - I don't know where to begin!

I'm not sure how far I can go with these contributions due to the forum rules:rolleyes:. So I'll just go with this...


“Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb,
and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor
that he can carry in his hand.”

Thanks John, I hope this is not too rude.

A guy joined a nudist camp and when he told his mum, she didn't believe him. So he sent her a picture of his top half. A week later his grandma wanted a picture but he accidentally sent the bottom half.

Knowing she had bad eyesight, he didn't think much of it. A week later his grandma wrote him a letter saying, that she didn't like his haircut, because it made his nose look too big.

I have to surreptitiously raid at this point and simply paraphrase the late genius of Douglas Adams:

"How are you feeling?"
"Like a military academy: bits of me keep on passing out."

And yes, I am feeling like that. This felt like the randomest place to say it :)
