Think that was down to my poor typing as in: Thanks for that (link??)

Ive been reading this with interest.
I only have a couple of points to make 1) I think all the board guides do a brilliant job (creep i know!!!) and 2) I dont mind people posting any question, i quite like it when a question is posted and i know the answer to it, even if i have answered it 10 times before - its nice to be able to help others, its the reason i like being part of the OS community - i hope people will continue asking their questions, i would hate to think anyone has read this thread and now feels that they cant.

The link for the thread where someone else was complaining about people not using search etc, I know it existed, I just can't find it anywhere

I can't believe I've just spent over half an hour trying to find the relevant armadillo post :wall: How sad have I become??? (even followed the google advice *sob* )

I've been back over the old diary archives with questions on points in a slice of roast armadillo (I actually remembered answering *that* one :rotfl: , the index discussion with the freezing armadillo but for the life of me I simply cannot find an armadillo casserole recipe on MSE or OS


*slinks off to knit some bread, knead some scarves, rug some bread bags and make paper from dryer lint*

I think I may need to duck and run for cover REAL FAST for this one...

..and my only excuse is that I had a very busy 22 hour day yesterday and have been going full speed all day today for the last twelve hours after only five hours kip.

Because...

I gave you the wrong piggin' keyword!

I'm ever so sorry, I've just checked, but the thread and post I had in mind was about aardvarks not armadillos.


So, as a penance for my sins, I'll award you the prize I had in mind anyway just for sheer hard work!

I'll P.M. you.

That's because the search facility is rubbish

Were you perhaps thinking of the recent one by me? That got moved into the Announcements thread.

There have been the odd mutterings in the past on this subject by members, none have been deleted that I'm aware of... so they're still about the place. Somewhere.

Hmmm... and what did we tell you in the tips linked to about using plurals?
