    I really, really wish we could have signature images...

    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    Goal: Keep the bigger picture in mind...

    Comments like that are one reason it got closed! :wall:

    Don't blame me, I don't think I ever posted on the Brexit thread. I'm just taking the mickey, really. This thread'll go in a few minutes, once the BG finds it ;)

  • We have until 17 September to nominate MSE forums for a "Freedom of Expression Awards Fellowship".

    See details of the organisation at https://www.indexoncensorship.org/what-we-do/

    Form an orderly queue.

    Or maybe not. :( .

    Oh I posted on it all the time.

    Will miss having a good old moan at all the lovely people who voted to stay within the blissful European Union, whereas I am one of the people who upset the apple cart by voting out and
    putting my good faith in our wonderful country being free to deal with the rest of the world in any way we choose:)

    I don't understand how people can get so irked and hot under the collar in a discussion. Ok, someone has a different opinion. Ok, someone maybe uses the wrong words, and lo and behold - another takes offence thinking they are the target (paranoia much?).

    It's the !!!!!!!g internet where everyone is anonymous. If one feels they have to report a thread/post because they can't cope with other people's comments and opinions, how on earth do they go through daily life???
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Newshadow, I'd like to comment on your pictograms, but I might get banned before we get going.
    I do try to find humour everywhere. For instance, Bojo can make his comments on the bhurka because, although he isn't a comedian, he is a joke.

    Sshhh, the Rowan Atkinson thread got closed too, so that subject's off limits as well.

  • My crocodile thread got closed, too, and the one asking why it was closed got deleted.

    Someone out there not keen on crocs, perhaps. Maybe there was an investiGATOR who looked into it and closed the thread after only 4 posts!

    You could report me instead - seems to be the fashion around these parts :p

    That's why we love you Quasar - the voice of reason:)

    I may not agree with you on the subject of B**xit, but on most things you are brimming with common sense.
