The only member I can think of who used lol was Jenlyn. Anyone is free to use the term of course. Who's he, was he a member once? Lol. He was still alive 5 hours ago: mobile.twitter.com/canals4us?lang=en

I've always been quite intrigued by the post count thing.
It occurred to me that if say for example the top 5 posters stopped for a week then perhaps new members would join in. Its possible that certain posters are viewed as a "barrier to entry". Or would this just result in the forum slowly dying off like a pig's scrotum with an elastic band around it.

Ross, shut the fuck up for a bit! How about a deal, Jimbo? I'll keep quiet for 7 days if you'll not post another word for 7 days? Could be fun.

You'd all be pming me to return to brighten up your day! My more forthright and goading posts are reserved for those who deserve it, often cos they are setting about newbies. #naughtyfox, no need to stop posting just don't bait newbies, give them a chance to settle in and get the measure of us and us of them.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Ms Bottoms be andyberg of this parish. Who else comes out with lol, lol, lol? Bit rude to join this forum and start calling me an ignorant maggot. Most disrespectful. Lol. À bit rude but also a bit truthful, Foxy, you've made disrespectful a work of art Don't get me wrong, I love you but boy you do come out with some crap.

Ross Sometimes it would be wise to stop..re read what you have written..pause and consider what sort of effect it'll cause.... I don't think ...well I hope you don't consciously intend to insult folk as you do Calm it down.... This forums a great place but we need a steady influx of new posters to keep it vibrant Don't turn us into a graveyard with a few ghosts lurking.

agree .... there is no way Jim could resist telling one of his ................ jokes for that length of time I think I could have managed 7 days - work things to be sorted out from today (official start Monday) - new bus to be inspected, timetable(s) to be tweaked - and unpacking from our trip. Journey home on the train had an interesting twist - the man sitting opposite us at the table started talking to us and seemed quite 'our sort of person' and is moving up this way - and his profession is repairing buses. I'll load photos*onto this computer and make a travel-tale out of them.... up by next weekend, I guess. * apologies for the size of the pics I've posted during Summer - they're far too big for table top computer monitor screens but there seems to be no way of reducing the size via the Imgur app. As most people seem to use mobile phones & tablets these days, and in these cases the photos fit the screens perfectly, I just left things as they were. I'll have a sweep of all these photos in a month or so, and delete them - you've seen them and there's little point keeping them 'for posterity' - and many will be included in the Google Photos albums I'll make, anyway.

Hi Foxy, I think it was you that mentioned to me about Imgur, so I'm sure you have tried but just in case. When you click on a image at Imgur you get the links come up on the right side, below them is a box to reduce. Sizes: Original · Small Square · Big Square · Small Thumbnail · Medium Thumbnail · Large Thumbnail · Huge Thumbnail

Or, you can re-size them locally on your PC using the 'Paint' application. Look to the left of the taskbar.
