Well how about this:


They don't have a dog and a peg bag do they?

Yes, chortle, chortle. That was a really useful post worth 57 thanks I'm sure

That's why they removed the thanks here, it was a joke, gamed to death and had lost it's real purpose. Similar junk you can activate on forums includes "user ratings" which again is gamed to absurdity, usually by a couple of cliquey groups.

Interesting thread though. I think the people complaining about buyers camping for a few days should get a life and be glad they found a buyer. There's plenty of people who can't get a buyer. No matter what people have, they always take it for granted and want to moan

Not me, but that thread is a very good example of absolute misuse of the "thanks" button. The stupider and less useful the comment, the more people hit the thanks button.



Strangely enough, the buyers were named Jones .... hmm!

The reference to a 'dog and a peg bag' refers to the fact that Roma Gypsies tend to sell pegs door to door, and the Irish Traveler scum tend to come complete with a dog.

!!!!!! - do Roma Gypsies flog pegs at the door? Mind you, the betterware lady does wear a lot of scarfs and gold jewellery

Somebody who is a member of both forums please post a link to the dead dog thread for them

Mr Jones, sorry to her about Mrs C Senior. I hope you are able to have an undisturbed night, you must be shattered.

Good luck for tomorrow.

You obviously don't have Roma(ny) Gypsies in Wales. These are the true gypsies who used to travel using horse-drawn caravans. They would pitch-up in a village and make a living by making traditional wooden pegs from hazel or willow.

Saw the funny heading and got addicted such that read all 29 pages in one go!!!(2hrs) must admit one of the best threads. Fantastic writing, the beauty is I am also able to read what other people are feeling or believing by reading the same stuff!!

Do keep us update Mr J.

Sincere condolences on the passing of Mother C.

What a good job the stair-lift had not yet been ordered. At least the wake won't be disturbed by workmen banging and crashing about as they install it.

You'd better get supplies in; the relatives are sure to be in need of sustenance after their long drive up from Cornwall.

please don't finish the thread, had me wanting to rush home to get the next installment. If they do try and claim because of the dog tell them its theirs as they will still have the papers of the dog i guess, plus you could have been using your card to get the campervan back as a good will gesture


Please please keep this thread going, kept me entertained for days! RIP Ma Clampett tho!

What a surprise, Ma Clampett has fallen off her perch! That was oh so predictable. Cue the next stage of this fairy story, with the Clampetts now wanting to bury her in the garden.

I'm not the author of this fairy story, so I'll pass on this.
