For Lagooner, in response to her post @13.40. here's one I prepared earlier (July 15, 2017, to be precise)


To renew, or not to renew, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous RR’s,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: banned, to post
No more; and by post, to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To renew, to post,
To post, perchance to offend; aye, there's the rub,
For in that renewing of GR, what posts may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coin,

With apologies to Wil. Shakespeare

On the other hand I can give you a definite maybe

Given I annoyed a few people on another site when they started a thread on politics here I’ll just say chicken.

:-D :-D :-D@ Bob

Tawny, I started this Thread a few years ago when I was amazed and amused (I wasn't quite sober at the time) about all the RR's which were taking place on another Thread; the entire content just seem to read 'post reported' :-D

I tend to resurrect it at timed of multi reporting

Rummaging around up in he attic the other day, I came across a bundle of war food ration vouchers.

The young Corner Shop assistant had to call her boss to see if they still had any value. It seems a scarce toilet roll would be more welcome.

I didn't fancy popping them into the church collection basket this morning. I'm too shy for that sort of thing.
