Chat

Ah no - they are not implements of justice, they are implements of 'fixing'* - the right and the good doen't get a look-in when they are employed.


* The coverall term for repairing, breaking, rendering both useful and useless, tinkering, tampering, everything from bodging to finely crafted creating and, of course, the breaking of kneecaps.

'I'd hammer in the morning'. (sorry, this should have followed Hovis' thread!)

Oh, it's not a song thread then?!

I love all the chat, reading through various chat helps keep me sane on a Saturday evening.

I like the yap that goes on in here. I can't contribute much if anything on technicals, so I talk about other stuff. I've learned a lot, but I do try to contribute in other ways. And I've made so many friends. As I've said in many threads, people are more important.

some

Hammer Time!

may i add my 2 penny worth?

i use to enjoy coming on to the SV site; for ... lite entertainment and fun... somewhere, somehow along the line, just as everything else in the world, it just became a bit to PC! - mind what u say... it may offend and cause an onslaught (be rediculed for your opinion)

has everyone lost the plot and become so uptight they dont understand the meaning of fun/laughter and idle banter? for (whoever's sake) lighten up... as per everything.... u have a choice... read it... or dont read it...

i, like many others have said, couldnt possibly contribute to those in the know with regards many things.... yet i enjoy reading them and the posts have taught me alot... but its the IB that USED to keep me coming back... its the inane posting of dribble that made some nights for me a laugh but then i read posts like the one i responding too that make me realise why I havent been frequenting this space as much as I use too...

soz,,, i think that was about 10p worth.... please collect your change.... ping

I am stupid and dont care

Can we ban all the people who complain about how the site is run?
Makes more sense to me.


You decide what threads you read in what section.
Idle Banter is just that.
Maybe it's not for you.....but maybe what you like is not for others.
If we were all the same...how boring would that be.
If it bothers you that much, perhaps it's time to look elsewhere.

What's the problem with that? Exactly what IB was designed for, no?

If we only spoke when we could improve the silence, the world would be a very quiet place

Was glad to hear the lad passed his test and even better, is riding well.
Thanks Ed!!!

However, one point I would make -

Refer back to my original post and you will notice I never actually mentioned Idle Banter, merely 'chat' - I too don't have a problem with IB as an entity, but I don't spend a huge amount of time posting in IB, preferring generally to stick to the more serious areas of the forum.

What I was referring to was the seemingly exponential increase in the number of non-IB threads descending into one-to-one chat.

Ahem ...(cough,cough).....Perhaps we should remember our own words.....

Banning those who don't think or look or maybe act like we do????
How cool is that????





















It's not.
