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....

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...

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.

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....

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....

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.
