I think that is shocking. I have just put a reply basically telling them they need to chill. What is the point in them having a bitch about nothing. Yes there is allot of erelevent stuff on here but its a good forum and for every erelevent piece on banter there is good useful information for whatever querie anyone may have. They need to all just join onto here and have a little fun in there lives. ------------- Phantom 1298 |

The Y&Y forum's great - you can talk about any old rubbish u

Goodness they take themselves soooooooooo seriously! And there I was, thinking that posting on a forum was a way of communicating with like-minded others Read through a few threads and you get to see 9 pages dedicated at "hmmm-we-ought-to-talk-about life-and-death-matters-at-all-times-on-this-forum-and-leave- the-idiots-to-Y&Y" So, stay just as you are, guys! Love you all ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

Indeed.. but hey, we're on the "Non-technical section" so we can talk cr As for odd and amusing twists of language, I think there were a few photos posted on the Best funny emails thread. I'll try and dig them out if I've got a minute. Then again, I'm sure many people have their own version of them, stored away in their PC! ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC
