OHO! So now the cat's out of the bag! "A needed rest from all the abuse it gets".

So whenever you're tired of people complaining, or if you don't happen to like the person who is complaining, at a given point in time, you'll shut the feature off.

Uh huh. More fairness and impartiality for our forums. Thanks y'all.

If you're all too tired to do the job, why don't you take a permanent vacation?

And nevermind the "I am sure its just temporary" BS...it's arbitrary, is what it is.

What a manipulative bunch of [BLEEP]s you are.

Whaa whaa whaa.... The only job you want them to do is to get rid of the rest of us so you can have the fora all to your little ol' lonesome. Sorry to burst your bubble, but we're not leaving. Get over it or get out.... (-:<

It's still there CR, but it's deactivated. Try it. Click on one and you'll see. I wrote one of the Admins about it, but meantime there's some discussion of it on the "All for the Moderators" thread.


OH!! I thought you where being singled out for some reason. So I guess nobody is allowed to complain about posts now. Well, that sucks!

CR I am sure its just temporary. But it sure gives us a needed rest from all the abuse it gets.

You get the complainers ID with the complaint. Can't you just warn the people that abuse it? or set a limit on how often they make complaints.

If I did they would complain.

Did they tell you not to use it anymore? or is it literally gone, as in you can't see it anymore?

BTW, no one that knows anything about Kahlua would drink it straight. It is mixed with vodka and ice which is called a Black Russian, and some half & half added to that makes a White Russian. It also gives added flavor to coffee, and is great on topping of ice cream as well.

But I guess there are some people somewhere who drink white rum straight...alcholics.


Well excuuuse me. If you'd had any dark rum I'd have drunk that instead. Nothing wrong with a little white rum on the rocks...especially the 151 proof kind. Brings tears to your eyes and takes your breath away. And considering my breath, anything that takes it away is a boon to mankind.

I got ripped off. I lost three hours of my UOTD reign to the weekly DB maintenance. It's really not fair. I think my UOTD tenure should be extended for another 24 hours as compensation for my pain and suffering during those three hours.

Who do I talk to about this?

Did everyone notice how much happier the board seemed while I was UOTD? I am sure the workunit productivity was up too. Feel free to start a petition to get me reinstated.

I am a little Skeptical Skeptic, Another petition or another strike might be too much to handle! LoL

One of the British national daily newspapers is asking readers
"What it means to be British."


Some of the emails are hilarious but this is one from a chap in Switzerland...

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian
beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on
the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese
TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign.

Oh and!!!!!

Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the
back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy
cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a
DIET coke.

Only in Britain do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the
counters.

Only in Britain do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive
and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in Britain do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have
call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to
in the first place.

Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

NOT TO MENTION...

3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
screwdrivers.
31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the
fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations
were chocolate.
British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling
accidents.
101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled
out of the soles of their feet.
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a
lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years
after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control
Scalextric cars.

and finally.........!

In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the
toilet.

I am proud to be British

RULE BRITANNIA!
