Not if you intend to use the shock collar.

A great shame that this is turning into a joke thread!
Will a staff member please remove this post if it is considered inappropriate?

The thread has morphed, its pretty much typical, of TP when there is little to add to the original post(s)
It'll be back on track once there is any real news to add (y)
 
The sign of a good thread is that it lasts long enough to swerve totally off course.
While I have your attention, can someone answer me this; if it is 17:00 CET on the third Monday of the month, and the NYSE is up 3%, whose turn is it to buy the chocolate hobnobs for the common room?
 
Thanks Cobra...I innocently thought that this was a fairly important thread :)
I have been around a bit...in fact probably a bit too long it seems!:cool:

You are right but there’s no additional news yet so people have been hanging around chatting waiting for some :). Probably does actually represent the importance of the thread rather well!

The other side of the coin is that simply because this is an important thread, people might actually set a watch on it. I had one set automatically because I posted in it early on. When the thread went off topic, I didn't want a lot of pointless alerts and unwatched the thread. I shall do so again after posting this, and just look in intermittently. I expect anything important will find its way to F&C in due course...

My guess is there would be a new announcement thread when the new management takes over :).
 
Hmm, I got a notification of being quoted!

I expect you're correct, and I'll just stop even checking for new posts here.

And unwatch again :)

Yours, obvs
 
It's chocolate Hobnobs every bloody time, Chris. Why can't we have Jaffa Cakes for a change? I believe I raised this at the last meeting.
 
You'll be singing a different tune when the revolution comes. When I am Commissar we will do away with your petit bourgeois biscuit choices once and for all! The Workers will hold the contents of the tea room in common, and enjoy truly revolutionary biscuits, like Garibaldi.

Jaffa Cakes??? What are you? Some kind of left-wing militant type??

I was just thinking this is going political and refraining from pointing out that Jaffa I believe is/was Palestinian and is now Haifa When along comes:

Avanti popolo, alla riscossa,
Bandiera rossa,
Bandiera rossa.
Avanti popolo, alla riscossa,
Bandiera rossa trionferà.

Anyone for a Bourbon?
 
Honestly, some of these posts really do take the biscuit ..
 
reminds me of a pub quiz (remember them, when we used to be allowed to congregate in places drink beer and entertain ourselves) where one team (who may have not been taking the quiz entirely seriously) in answer to the question "give the name a biscuit which was named after a revolutionary" answered "Peak Freans Stalin Assortment". They also answered "name the person 27th in line to the british throne" as "Rudolf Hess"... Yes this pub quiz used to give a "booby prize" for worst/most amusing answer ;)

Are you sure Garibaldi enjoyed biscuits? I suspect they played havoc with his digestion.
 
So just while we await any updates and the fact that this thread seems to have gone off at a tangent, I just thought I'd let you all know, it's international naked gardening day :ROFLMAO:

That never ends well, especially when there are snakes around.

And as I pointed out earlier, the serpent is ever present here, pretending to moderate but in reality leading us astray …. we’ll all be banned, banned I tell you … (I was going to write “in Fraser’s voice” and then I thought … umm, that could be misunderstood :(.
 
Something happening?

I had a feelingI was getting that wrong somewhere, I think it was something about Jaffa oranges way back?
