Saturday

[gulliver1]

Very quiet on here for a Sat night , am I missing something?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes - it's a secret.

[Theland]

I was munching on the fruit that got sent to me, and inadvertently stuffed my mouth with sour grapes!
Who could have sent them?

[Buenchico]

You're not missing anything, Theland, but we're missing you on the BBC Quiz thread. After your recent run of bad luck elsewhere, maybe you can manage some lucky guesses this week on the quiz?

;-)

[mushroom25]

it's been a lot of years since the really exciting saturday nights - with slanging match threads with hundreds of posts and loads of removed answers....

The Legend and Knobby Show....

[wolf63]

Have you been locked up again, Theland? Did Mrs T throw you out?

[Buenchico]

There are plenty of people on here who I'd like to see locked up before Theland, Wolf63 ;-)

[anneasquith]

Alas AB no longer has , or allows for any ‘ characters ‘

[Mamyalynne]

It's a Q&A site, there's been a lot of questions asked today just unfortunate you didn't like any of them.

[ummmm]

It's becoming pointless posting.

[anneasquith]

There was a social aspect to AB at one time. ( chatterbank) . Now it’s grump grump and more grump. But you will always get a crossword answered .

[choux]

You are right, anne. Far fewer friendly banter threads. Nasty clashes appear from nowhere leading to suspensions at best and many deleted posts. I often wonder why some posts are deleted whilst others with far more incendiary content remain.

[gness]

Gone are the days when you could post bliss and banter and have lots of social chatting and fun. Threads could run for ages and the humour was great. A few grumpy members have put paid to that....... :-(

[tonyav]

Very true, gness :-(

[ummmm]

It's also become a bit of 'braggerbank'

[Barmaid]

I still find it hilarious, but for different reasons than before. I tend to post less and observe more.

It's not as much fun as it used to be for banter, but my goodness there are some egos on here that never fail to amuse.

[tonyav]

, but my goodness there are some egos on here that never fail to amuse.

Yep, plenty.

Yes, you are. The life that some of the absent have rekindled since lockdown restrictions eased. We we're out to dinner.

[naomi24]

*were*

[pastafreak]

It's been quiet on here for quite a while. I don't think the easing of lockdown has anything to do with it.
The last time it seemed 'busy' was during the first lockdown, but that didn't last.

perhaps abers were glued to two and half hour of 'wonder woman' on prime time itv
