It's essentially an floating picnic. I also like listening to Radio Four podcasts while I'm out there. I don't question the why, it's very comfortable just to drift.

Re: Food for thought for some older members on here
Allow me to present a vintage Vancouver mocking thread, just to show there's nothing new on the theme:

If you knuckle down you'll get used to it. Most of us are here to humour and pass the time away from our mundane existences.
En"RICH"ment! I see what you did there.

How flattering, although I'd prefer if your anonymous source could have avoided having his/her (I'm betting his) Private Message posted on the open forum.
As to never having contributed anything positive to this community, I'll leave that for others to judge.
Still, now that you've flounced, you won't be reading this.

If it wasn't for those pesky kids I would have got away with it.
How did you know? I spell checked it and even checked my grammar accordingly?

That was the clue: that and your mis-spelling of my username.

Re: Food for thought for some older members on here
I'd imagine that the person that sent it to you (who seemingly couldn't be bothered or was too cowardly to post any support for you in public) will be appalled that you've shared his/her thoughts with everyone.
You say you won't be posting again, but if you do, please make sure you read the rules again first.
Thanks.

Whilst it wasn't me that sent any karma, PMs, or otherwise to the OP, it is definitely a bit "Lord of the Flies" in here.

Re: Food for thought for some older members on here
If someone disagrees with you, or even disputes your own experience, so what? It is a forum, some useful information, some a load of garbage.
We cannot all be right all the time, believe me it is a burden to bear.
