Oh dear. Who's done what to who now?

At this rate all we'll have left to talk about is bikes!

Have you SEEN how heated a thread about tyre sizes can get? 😉

So tyre threads are back in then? I thought "wot tyre 4 freds" there deeply frowned upon!

If this one stay's civil, will it stay open?

What if I supply the catering?

You too?

I try to avoid the Polytick and tyre threads because they are rather heated. Like a Skoda rear window.

So tyre threads are back in then?

Not from my experience. I posted one asking the difference between Crows and Ravens, it didn't get a single answer. Which kind of verified what I suspected - no one really knows. And which was all that I wanted to know 🙂

I thought it was quite civil really, given the somewhat limited social skills on display most of the time

This has to be a record

difference between Crows and Ravens

Well, both are of the genus Corvus, the family Corvidae and in the Passeriforme order. However, ravens are among the largest of that genus, so the easiest way to tell is to see how big it is.

But I think its OK to turn my bike upside down?

That'll be politics threads banned too then?

If you see a rook on it's own it's a crow, if you see a load of crows together they're rooks.

You've got to admit, though, it can be murder telling the difference some times.

IGMC.

Crows and rooks are very easy to tell apart. Rooks have a pale beak and a slightly more pronounced forehead than a crow. A crow is like a smaller raven which in turn is like a bigger crow.

#edit Also the original thread referenced in the title didn't seem *too* unpleasant given some of the content on here. Maybe the mod in question was manstruating.

Crow is a Union leader.
Raven used to present 'Newsround'.

Hope this helps.

CFH

nice one 😆

What I don't understand is you get some adults who will help, reply and offer advise.

You get others who post for either the sake of it or to bicker/pick/get a raise.

That will be the big hitters, then Hora. Took three threads today on roughly the same topic for the rubbish to stop and it to be a genuinely interesting read.

ISIHAC awaits you 🙂

Its wearing, it really is. ramming the same argument down your throat and not excepting that others [i]will[/i] have a differing opinion to you. You wont change them like a light switch FFS.

Heres an example.

Why? Your wrong, heres a link to a fact/website that must be correct that proves you are wrong: www.Icreatedthiswebsiteinmybedroom.com/Crowisntlikehim

Just admit you are wrong, or you are a ****ing cock fella. IF you don't admit it I'll look at your profile and follow you around each subsequent thread taunting you. So you are wrong right?

The one this thread refers to was actually quite an interesting read up until the moment Drac killed it, unless he also deleted stuff I've not seen

* you Hora! You complete and utter * ** ** * git. You've obviously never seen either a crow or a rook you * *hole! Go on then. Follow me round. You cock.

And your ******** website is shite.

Listen, I've seen a few trade unionists, I've heard the news occasionally on them and I refer to Wiki quite often to my facts so back off. 😆

Have I finally found the thread on which I can say 'it's possible that God exists' without reaching for a flak jacket?

* reaches for flak jacket *

[i]without reaching for a flak jacket?

* reaches for flak jacket * [/i]

apparently not.

Did you say "ban hammer"? i thought you said "Jan".

I love the fact the term "Banhammer" took off on here. There may have been others using it, but I think I brought that one in.

The fact I got it from a site full of argumentative, geeky role-players is an irony which hadn't escaped my notice 😉

I wish they would. All of them. Remove them as soon as they start. Seriously I do.

Or how's this for a radical suggestion: just don't open them. HTH.

It never ceases to amaze me just how wound up some people on here can get after deliberately opening a thread they have no interest in, then reading it, then blaming the content of said thread for their angst.

That'd be the same people who are also unaware that TV's have off buttons 😀

Or how's this for a radical suggestion: just don't open them. HTH.

Yes. You're very clever aren't you?
Where did I say I did that, or get 'wound up'? Your words not mine.

Quite often threads are steered towards politics from something fairly innocent. Then the petty bickering and points scoring takes over, and I just get sick of it TBH.

Not from my experience. I posted one asking the difference between Crows and Ravens, it didn't get a single answer. Which kind of verified what I suspected - no one really knows. And which was all that I wanted to know

I have the same conundrum regarding the difference between "Raisins and Currants".
Tastier than a Crow or a Raven for that matter

What I don't understand is you get some adults who will help, reply and offer advise.

And then you get those pedantic gits who post things like "it's advice, not advise, in this context". Don't you just hate them. 🙂

A Raven. It's the wings and tail give it away from a distance.

Another Raven. See, it's easy when you know how!

Tastier than a Crow or a Raven for that matter

It's still open then - 😀

kennyp. I do not listen to those who start a post with'and'.

And why not?

The reason this forum is so entertaining is because there's so many differences of opinions.

The recent nannying is why it's going/gone downhill.

I agree politics threads are none-starters, hence I don't bother with em.

Those that do enter them or any other thread they know will wind them/offend/make them report post deserve all they get.

And btw these comments are in no way meant to offend although the my views/[i]opinions[/i] contained herein [i]differ[/i] from others.

Its granmatically incorrect!

I blame Thatcher.

Lighten-up everyone, please.

See, it's threads like this that make STW. I'm not sure you can have these ones without the arsey threads too though. You need a mix.

I've seen the Truman Show. In the end, he leaves for an unemployed ginger* waitress. Too much moderation in life must be bad then**...

herr zokes you are such a hypocrite

I'd like to see this thread to be the longest (never to be banned/closed) thread...

Lets see how far we can get...

Go! 8)

I find that hard to swallow.

Hardly a swift response. Have you been swanning around all evening?

The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed this has flown off at a tangent. If I have missed the point I shall feel a tit.

I think you've bittern off more than you can chew with that pun.

Time to duck out then.

is it quicker to climb the mountain or go as the crow flies?

Let me have a gander at that for you.

FFS relax man.
No point in grousing about it.
Spark up a jay and calm down.

You'll end up in the nuthatch if you carry on like that.

it'll only get worse from heron in...

How you have the gull to say that is beyond me.

Toucan play at that game, however.

I see another well-meaning thread has taken a tern for the worse 🙄

I'm egretting opening it already.

Time to stop larking around?

There's me thinking (from the title) that the thread was actually closed. I've got my bourbons open, brew ready, waiting to get to the gritty heart of why the thread was closed and it's open

This forum is rubbish 🙂
