...or is it just me having an existential crisis due to the crushing ennui of my futile struggle for meaning in my life?

I feely admit to being one of the worst offenders.

Insert meme here.

What's the difference between a trope and a meme?

Not even a real Panther etc etc.

Yes, it's a bit dull atm. I've taken up tailgating and macrame in a futile attempt to fill the void.

Many of our more eccentric brethren have moved on. Too much middle class conformity, not enough fish puns.

Thank cod for that, I'm a dab hand at puns, it's the sole reason I keep carping on about stuff here.

I'd try a shellfish pun but I'm worried I'd either clam up or pull a mussel.

Yes, as is every other forum though.

We do seem to have skipped the 'it comes earlier every year' thread when the supermarkets put up the Xmas aisle, they've been up a week or more and not a peep.

Anyway, it's Friday… new Orbital album, pizza, Nanny State (later).

If those fish puns were actually funny I expect I'd have spat tea all over my keyboard.

Shorely if the fish puns were funny you would have spat artisan coffee all over your mechanical keyboard?

By way of a futile attempt at an answer to the OP (original panther)...yes, this place has become a self-fulfilling prophesy of middle class and argumentative tripe, or trope.

I like the the 'size' of it here and have no problem with the same topics that occur (guilty of myself), but what's becoming rapidly crap and the reason <flounce alert> I stopped my subscription is the few posters that absolutely drown the place like they are here 24/7 - nearly every topic there is, the same few posters just post their crappy self-righteous opinion in there - with bugger all attempt at humour or respect for others - simply a vacuous post.

Yes PP you are a splurge-gun of puns, mildly tiresome at times (but sometimes genius), yet I'd take you any day of the week over the self-righteous bores that have no self-regulation of their posts that, for me, are making this place into a ****-fest of high horse bollocks that make it not worthwhile flicking through for chuckles.

I do largely approve of the recent bans, so I can't be alone in this 🙂

The last original thing on here was Cougar's lactose intolerant joke.

And he's repeated that about a dozen times.

You need to get ill in a more imaginative manner.

but what’s becoming rapidly crap and the reason <flounce alert> I stopped my subscription is the few posters that absolutely drown the place like they are here 24/7 – nearly every topic there is, the same few posters just post their crappy self-righteous opinion in there – with bugger all attempt at humour or respect for others – simply a vacuous post.

I hope that's not me, but I'm worried it might be. If so, just tell me to shut up for a bit. I haven't posted anything original for years, with the exeption of the odd haiku.

Not a joke btw, if I put people off posting, just let me know.

Funnily enough, I'm actually back in hospital, narrowly avoiding losing digits, but didn't start a thread as i assumed folk were sick of it (i certainly am!)

OK - that's not how it looked in preview.

Damn, and it was such a funny comment. No, really, it was....

Is this the place to complain that I keep seeing ads for gay cruises on the right sidebar over there-----> ??

It's not that I'm offended, just I don't like STW making assumptions about me, y'know?

Doh, can't work out how to insert smileys in the new forum, so, uh 😉

ETA: omg, it worked!
