Obvious trope is obvious

Stop moaning, if you don't like it read on.

I'll start a Friday thread though.

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!)

No mate, of course not.

Your serious medical issues are a constant source of hilarity and amusement  🙂

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!
