<< SITE MOVED ~ MAIN ~ WEEK ONE >>

DAY ONE

All suggestions/comments/criticism taken on board. Moderation (unavoidable at a mainstream site) will be made speedier. Solutions will be found. Justice will be delivered!

Remember, we’re only 24 hours or so into this. Don’t fear the newness. Only a few years ago my site had no comments facility at all; I used to get slammed for that, too. And later for allowing too many comments. Now, for not posting comments quickly enough ...

We’ll sort things out. Might take a little while, but still.

    From the promoted videos: infomercial break

  16. #12

    Thanks, kae, the feeling is mutual.

    When I started commenting here, I wanted to try something different. I had never seen anyone comment solely in rhyme. It seemed like a goofy idea.

    I didn’t know whether I could keep it up but in the end I wrote almost four hundred poems. Sometimes I made myself laugh.

    No one else could have supplied the wealth of inspiration that Tim did.

    And most of all, I enjoyed the company. We all share the same sense of humor, and the same sense of the absurd.

    I’m sorry to see this party break up. The new site won’t be the same.

    Anybody interested in getting together in the Gold Coast area?
    If so, email me though our Members’ page before this site vaporises, and we’ll see what we can organise.

    Pickles, I like your idea at #167 page 2. Count me in. This place has become a big part of my otherwise mundane life in retirement. I would sorely miss it.

    when I get up North to visit Kae again, we’ll organise something down your way as well. Even if it’s just the three of us at your local.

    Hi, stackja. I only saw your greeting much later. It takes so long for comments to post that a conversation is impossible. Thanks for the kind words.

    maybe not wronwright, but sounds like someone who had access to a special sort of a conveyance!!!!

    I mean, 400 trees stripped of olives, no sound heard, no vehicle tracks, happened in a short period of time??? suspicious to say the least!

    I reckon it’s Wronwright. He’s branched out.
    Lakes, schmakes… olives.

    You know you can make biodiesel out of them?

    He’s selling it to environmentally aware aliens.

    Only explanation.

    You know the BIG Hoover Dyson Kirby? Who had it last?

    Just made a laughingstock of all the experienced people doing that sport by making them look as stupid as him.
    Idiot.
    Mum told me about the adventure of the conference, etc. on Sunday night. And the sudden resignation…. like to know more about that, too…. he he

    Anyone can start a blog like this and my experience is that it really is very easy, there is no cost, and the kickbacks from the tobacco companies are tremendous.

    I will be setting up a blogroll shortly, and you are welcome to email me at the Shadowlands if you would like me to link to any new ventures or if you would like to put up a post, or even set up a group blog if you wish…

  52. Running a blog is like having another job. I feel bad if I don’t put up a couple of posts a day…it gets somewhat obsessive.

    Posted by Mr. Bingley on 2008 05 20 at 07:09 AM • permalink

  53. #50 kae How is the post count going? Do you get a gold pin for being the top poster on this blog?  Does it end up in the Guinness Book of Records?

    Hey I once got a gold pin for skiing 35,000 vertical feet in a day at Mount Norquay in Canada. That was a few years ago now - then I lost the pin a couple of years later somewhere! Ho hum.

    And in more trivia, to keep the thread going, tonight I watched the end of Diego Bunel on Nat Geo channel 517 with Don’t tell my Mother ...where he is in North Korea for three weeks taking the mickey out of them all - hilarious. He reminded me a little of Ruby Waxwith her interviews in the US.  Plenty of Ruby on UtonRuby Wax on U Tube but none of her interviews in the US.

    Enough trivia for the moment…

  72. #30 - Kae, the linked story has it that Wronwright was deterred from stripping the two olive trees nearest the house by a “censor light”.  The mind boggles.  I thought all censors were of the heavy sort.

    Spell checkers aren’t really a substitute for learning how to spell.

  74. #72
    Yes, I also noticed that.

    Spellcheck sux.

    Whole word learning and concentrating on the story not the grammar, punctuation and spelling at school has done that.

    Hard words and tricky words can be mixed up. But simple ones*?

    *confession, there’s probably bad stuff out there I’ve written… pfft.

  78. I wish we could find Wronwright.
    I think it’d be interesting watching him squirm as he tried to hearing him explain the olive thing.

    Golly, just heard there’s been an earthquake in China… hurricane in Burma.

    I couldn’t believe it when some programme, oh, 60 minutes, were reporting live from the disaster area.
