New 'Top new posters' Box

[Gromit]

The reason beta AB has been dodgy most of Monday day may be because they have added more clutter/functionality.

There is now a box of Top new posters.

Which will of course do nothing other than encourage volume of posts rather than quality. Posts for the sake of getting top of the list than for any good reason.

Oi
Octavius, that's my job and I'll fight anyone to the death for it

when I say death, obviously I mean until I run away crying

[Octavius]

Yeah, well you can run. I can�t obviously as plays havoc with my rash and breathing, also I might drop a donut. But you�d better watch out, my friend will be waiting at the gates after school. Probably with a respirator (and some more donuts) for me.

[B00]

Hey now if there's donuts involved I'll be your friend octavius!

[Octavius]

A volunteer to wait at the school gates!
Watch out for 4GS, he�s a ruffian. And he�s got a big dad.

[LoftyLottie]

No doubt Boo will be meeting you behind the bike sheds at break Octavius................... She'll do anything for a donut......................

[smudge]

Yeah, you're right there BOO, lol!

Oi Octy, I like John! He can meet me at the gates any time! ;o}

Oh, I see , all the donuts gone already! I'll have to do with a jubbly instead!

[smudge]

Anyone for a palm toffee?

[B00]

Whatsa palm toffee?

Oh who cares, it's got the magic word innit..."toffee".........gimme that too!

[Octavius]

Lofty, B00 would do anything for a donut, but she won�t do that. I don�t even want to know what a palm toffee is. Honestly, the wimmmin on �ere.

Anyway, back to the thread. I think that such exercises in �dick-measuring� as put forward by these lists are pointless, pejorative, condescending and harmful to people with hypersensitivity.

As a fat, rash riddled, donut munching, smelly, wheezing kid it does not meet with my acquiescence and probably contributes to my inadequacy, lack of friends and the downfall of society and youth of today. Down with this sort of thing (careful now).

If that is what goes on, on the dark side (beta) then I rather much prefer it here ta.

[B00]

sniggers @ octavius going down..........

[LoftyLottie]

Wish that they had left it well alone. I quite like the aviators, but was personal messaging really necessary? And as for this 'friends' thing, it's really totally stupid imho.

[LoftyLottie]

Trouble is where I used to imagine Octavius as rather a dashing young man, I shall always have this new image in my mind.

[B00]

I always imagine octavius as a rakish older gentleman, kind of like Errol Flynn, hopefully with Errol's colourful history too!

[smudge]

Ha, ha, ha, I'm in a really giggly mood today & this is just adding to it!

Banana palm toffee - ya dunno what you missed.

Mind you it was so long ago, I can't even find a pic' of it on Google!

[LoftyLottie]

Well to me BOO, Errol Flynn would be a mere youngster!!
:o( . But yes, we are thinking along the same lines. But now he's gone and spoiled it and I shall think of Billy Bunter (Gosh that really does age me!!)

[Octavius]

Ah well, its what�s on the inside that defines you as a person. I am �some� donuts.

[LoftyLottie]

Was this you Smudge?

Runs and hides.

[LoftyLottie]

PS I remember it !

[smudge]

Ha, ha, thank you Lofty, I've saved that to my fav's to peruse later! Nostalgia!

No, I'm afraid it wasn't me tho' - wasn't even a twinkle in me Dad's then, bless him! ;o}

[netibiza]
