No shame in killing threads. I just won the 2005 thread killer award. I'm just waiting for the moderators to give me the crown,
Cheers,

LOL, Badge, fame at last!
And you're right, I get so much amusement from all the angst about spiders, etc.
When you've been here a while, you learn strategies (and products) to cope with most of those nasty critters. But if I posted them on here, it would put too much of a damper on all those people who appear to enjoy scaring themselves half to death. And I wouldn't want to be transferred to the Threadkiller list..........

Great observations there, although I reckon I might be a bit nervous of my next post for fear someone is going to "categorise" me

Re: Satire:Australian British Expats explained
Hmmm not sure where we fit! How about an "itchy feet" member?
The army moved us around at the drop of a hat for 22 years, and now I have been static for almost 9 (with a bit of a break in the middle of that) I have this need to move. I can't explain it, maybe just moving counties would help, but we are going whole hog and trying to move halfway round the world!
Mad I tell you, mad!

The funniest ******* thing I have read in a long time
I feel I defo have a multi personality as I come under so many of those descriptions, luckily I changed my avator the other day to remove the "lettuce" part, feel the need to be a bit political/votey at the mo.
This has GOT to be the POST of 2005 - forget the rest. Second is JTL Thread Killer for discovering this unusual disease
You should become an agony uncle or TV Quack!

Very funny Badge! I realise I was reading it through muttering - no..that's not me....that's not me....hmm...maybe that's me a bit....hmm maybe a bit rosy....I'm not that old...etc etc. Pidgeon-holing...a favourite pastime

How about another category of posters who keep giving you false information on places they know nothing about and keep arguing with those who actually live there?
