What better way to spend a cold Saturday morning [rhetorical or not? 🤔]

I bet you do!
Now that you've realised the futility of thinking you can 'bang together' anyone's head on here, and have hopfully seen successful peer moderation in action in another thread, why don't you take the advice you've just been given and draw a line under previous events and accept and enjoy this forum for the friendly place it is. Ok, you might miss out on the weekly lecture on not calling an amp an amp/hour, and the incessant grammatical corrections from the wanker who is unable to accept he is no longer a school-marm. But you might actually fit in better here than there.

Using 'youth speak' especially when its out of date... try to stop saying 'Cool'. Winn, I never got as far as 'cool', I seemed to have got stuck on 'fab' 😎. Seems like this is going to more of a challenge than first thought.

As I'll be 70 in 2019 I decided that my new year's resolution should be to somehow begin growing old more gracefully. However, apart from supressing audible farts when going around the supermarket I'm at a loss as to what changes to make. So, what is it about old folk that gets on yourc tits?

From earlier revelations, if she's got a cat take ricco with you and make up a foursome to break the ice.😀

I suspect 'socks' isnt who we think it is... and that its all orchestrated for a denouement. Or just somebody that really isn't well and perhaps not robust enough for forums. The posting style was spot-on for LadyG. Odd ramblings that make little sense and then edited a short while later. She even had a pop at the remaining mods in a different thread back over on CWF I think if you take a look at 'her' profile on t'other place at the moment she's identifying as a male. Maybe s/he's got that 'gender fluid' problem we keep hearing about from Piers Morgan 🤔

Me too, even though I inhabit the quiet corner.

Don't know what she's complaining about, she's only been on here 3 hours, threatened physical violence to bang everyone's heads together, and has already got the same number of membership stars as me after 2 years of considerate posting 🤔 She's given me a bloody headache but not through any form of banging.

I have given you a greenie over there. Ta! I edited some of my typos, nothing else changed 👍 I too gave you a greenie over in t'other place. I think your post and some of Nick's were spot on. My own two word (very polite) response to Lola, when he went off piste, was remove so I think I'll post even less in future than I do already. This has become the most friendly of the two forums (sorry, 'fora' for Athy). The miserable so and so's over there can't even be bothered to wish every member a happy birthday, irrespective of whether they are active. Happy New year all you thunderboaters. Whether you swear or not 😎

Or a very windy day when I was having problems mooring up in a tight space. Lady off the boat behind offered to help, so I threw her the stern rope at full force so that it would reach her......
Unfortunately I forgot to loop the other end around the T stud, so she got the whole rope delivered straight in the face (and I was still stranded). Medicinal brandy was received in good faith though 🤕

The list is endless. But here's one thing in particular comes to mind: My TV arial slots into a bracket on the front of the cratch and rests on the top of the tunnel light for a bit of added support, so it's not unusual for the light to be a bit out of alignment when needed. In the very hot period this summer I went into Braunston tunnel and got about 50 yards in when it occurred to me that it was very near pitch black. Bugger! I thought, that bloody light has been knocked again. So I rushed through the boat and climbed out onto the front deck (not recommended in a tunnel) to make some adjustments, and it was so dark I couldn't see the wing nuts properly. Bugger! again I thought... I need my reading specs. So I got back in the boat and TOOK OFF MY SUNGLASSES and put my reading specs on. It wasn't until I was about to get back out on the front deck that I'd realised that things were now a lot brighter
