absolutely...we used to have such a good laugh on here at times!
(another 'granny remembers the old days remark' sorry for that)

Think everyone has just become too bloody serious and takes what oft times passes as craic on here (commander and admon spring to mind) WAY to personally....

MataHari

well...they both used to be vaguely amusing in the past at times, but things have definately changed, lol...
I really have no idea what caused it all, but everybody I talk to feels the same about BE now, and that is a pity as I think especially when things in the 'real world' are a bit rough, it would be nice to be able to come on here and have a bit of a laugh...

admon

Maybe it's a sign of the times - people under pressure with work, worrying financially and all that malarky - stress levels are high, so people act defensively and look at any personal comment as an attack, and don't see any attempt at humour.

Then again I'm likely to be talking complete codshit.

- I would add that the mods seem to add to the sombre tone, as anything resembling a good old baiting has been clamped down on.

Time for Christmas threads?

Frankly, I think people just need to grow a thicker skin and a bigger pair and lets all go back to being the crass, possibly clique, always humourous and on the odd occasion, correct in our advice group of people we once were....

TGFKASE

Fair point, admon, me old china....

Lets get back to the old 'UFC' style of modding

TGFKASE

Times are tight an' all, but I can still afford ribbon, FFS.....

admon

by the way MH, have you had some surgery?

Botox forehead and trout pout? Or is it just the photo?

TGFKASE

Probably a fish-eye lense or summat....

admon

either that or I thought she may have walked into a lamp post.

MataHari

lol...nah, it must be the photo...no fcking way I am going to have needles stuck into me, not even if they pay me for it!!

MataHari

just squinting against the sun...

TGFKASE

Or it could also be the case she had her hair held back a la crazy cowboy style and the gentleman in question was photoshopped out....

admon

the wife is on a mission for me to agree to her having botox, god knows why, she doesn't need it.
But considering she is pretty much allergic to half of whats on the planet, I just know that when she does, its going to end in tears.
