...I think you need another forum, for people who may not be quite so funny, or who think they are funny...but aren't...oh hang on...
Just kidding [the "oh hang on" bit], but seriously a boring forum has a lot to offer:
It will make all the other forums look and read even better [as if that were possible]
Accountants will think they can join in and post things
This posting wouldn't be in here
My name is confused and I used to be an accountant...it has been 1 year and 28 days since I last added two numbers together...
Nice place hope I fit in at some point, confused.

Hi Confused... welcome to the forum.
-
Welcome Dixie! I think you may be right. This forum must appear to so may as a bit of a cliquey lunatic asylum at times, that new blood feels alienated. I wan't you to know that new posters are always welcome, and that not everyone is mad on here. (I'm sure there was someone who posted in May 2005 who wasn't).
-
Thank you both. This is a scary place, so much good humour and so many "I wish I had said that" posts. I shall persevere, keep taking the tablets, drift off muttering...
-
To become a real member you have to insult Peepmaster.
-
so much good humour
Thanks. I just wish the rest of the gang on here were as good.
-
You also have to have an appreciation of football, and the knack of using the roll-eyes smiley at the right time.
-
The other option is to hate football and like Doctor Who.
-
Actually Mince you were more in the "scary" category... :-)
Football...waste of a good field...cow pat [or is that cowpat?] skimming would be more interesting, I wasn't going to follow Mince's advice but now...
-

RULE 1: If you're going to throw a good insult, go for it. No more half-hearted panicky smileys at the end.
-
Mince, I'm confused.
Aren't you on holiday? And what's your avatar picture of? At first I thought it was a stopped version of that mind boggling triangle one you used to use.
-
Damn you Moriarty...I'll work on the polite thing but in my defence I was smiling as I wrote it, but that was more at Peepmasters expense, I never heard of anyone from a smaller place than I live before, the Isle of Bute makes the Isle of Man seem like Manhattan...well on a really foggy day...and when you are three sheets to the wind...and if your imagination is either really really good or just weird.
-

Nope. Try again.
-
is either
You're going to have to change your name. You're going to confuse poor Roger.
-
You might be right...besides which it's a killer to remember when signing in...my favourite line of yours so far, can't remember the post, something that included meeting the genius Roger Kettle, your line was something like "Hey Roger there's a genius with the same name as you" Classic, almost poetry but more interesting.
-
Oh gawd - Mince has found a fan. ..0
-
Jealous!
Actually, dslex, Peepmaster can be funny sometimes as well . . . sometimes, anyway.
-
Nice to see you worried Peepmaster...but you can relax, I was impressed nay jealous of a few posts of your own and a few others too, just that one liner worked so well it stuck in my mind.
I suspect Mince doesn't need a fan...but if I thought the irritation factor would be high enough...I can do sycophant...

Notice the words "a few" for Peepmaster and "so well" for me.
-

Nope. Try again.
It looks like a downward photo of the corner of a table.

Ahhh, he (it must be a 'he' - women aren't so easily impressed :D) is only new. Once he's been on for a little while longer, he'll learn his mistake.

This is like "Ask the Family".

Let's hope so. I was rather taken aback that he forgot to call me "Your Majesty" as he should. I know I let everyone else off, but he's a newbie.
-
Welcome dslex...dislex...confused, do you mind if I just call you DDC?
You don't have to butter Mince up - we are going to have a coup while he is away.
That way we will have a decent place to keep our chickens.
So tell us more about being a retired accountant - is it really as exciting as you make it sound?
Diane :)
-
I think Mince's avatar is a robot's armpit.
-
I think Mince's avatar is what's inside his head: shelves with nothing on them.
-
Mince goes on holiday...DDC appears...hmmm....
-
Having just come back from a holiday myself, I know how important they can be for recharging the batteries, and stimulating the soul.
My recent Philippines adventure enabled me to experience the wildlife, natural beauty, and welcoming nature of the people on a variety of sun-kissed islands nestling in the warmth of the South China Seas.
Mince, have you got to Clacton yet?
-
Mince goes on holiday...DDC appears...hmmm....
I see the thinking behind this Roger
But just in case DDC welcome and enjoy
-
DDC...Mince...it's a novel idea...but wrong...
Many thanks for the kind words from one and all, DDC works for me, I obviously wasn't thinking too clearly when I came up with the long version, but I'll keep it as a reminder about keeping it simple, talking of which, how are you "Your Majesty"? Well I hope.
As for being a retired accountant I'm not, I more sort of escaped just over a year ago and got into something else by pretending not to be an accountant. Now I interact with other people, use words instead of meaningless numbers and say thank you every day to anyone's g-d who cares to listen. Now even my wife likes me...which is truly weird but very pleasant.
I am looking forward, with a little trepidation, to my time here, and will try not to worship too loudly at the feet of Mince although that sounds more like a meal than a promise.
-
Mince isn't important, you know! He just turned up one day, rather like you have. We've all been humoring him for ages now.
-
Denial is such an ugly thing, clearly Mince is the driving force around here...would it make you feel better if I went and found something funny you wrote? I don't have too much time but I can try.
Actually I quite liked "There should be a semi-colon after spelistraffaladi." in the posting answers totally unrelated bit, surreal yet funny.
-
Changed my mind, I really liked "Mince's life is perfectly useful?" in the annual plea for help thingie, I may be fickle but I know what I like. I guess his majesty just met his Nepal.
This is my last trip down memory lane, there are too many potential g-ds of humour here to stay faithfully in worship, as a last resort I can always post humorous accountancy anecdotes.
-
Mince could get to you DDC He has been known to cross the Irish sea.
-

On foot. So he tells me. He must have an extremely long snorkel.
Yo, DDC!
-
I've never heard any posthumous accountancy anecdotes. Bring 'em on!
-
Well...as you asked so nicely, once I was adding up some stuff on a spreadsheet and no matter how many times I did it I could not get it to balance...turns out it wasn't a spreadsheet at all but the back of a cornflakes packet...duh!
Okay the game is up, there are no humorous accountancy stories...shame it took me twenty years to realise it but I don't recall saying I was funny or quick.
-
Welcome Dixie! I think you may be right. This forum must appear to so may as a bit of a cliquey lunatic asylum at times, that new blood feels alienated.
New blood? It's so much of a cliquey lunatic asylum that OLD blood feels alienated! Oh, for the good old days when only 4 people posted, and there were maybe one or two new messages a week. The good old days, before the board moved, turned fancy, and - of course - Mince turned up.
The other option is to hate football and like Doctor Who.
I like both, which surely means my posts are twice as valuable to this forum than anyone elses. Right? No? Okay then.
