Title: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Malc on May 02, 2007, 04:38:18 AM
I'm always disappointed at the sight of my own name on the last posts, because it means no-one else has answered.

Where are you all?

I'm over here.

Malc - I know what you mean - I sometimes think that when I post, it kills the thread stone dead - so you won't be the last name on this one. :'(

so far I'm the last name on this one  ;D

The last few days have been a bit hectic for me. I took two days off last week and have been trying to catch up. It's also the time of year for tax returns, which is always fun.
"Dear Mr Tax Inspetcor----yes, the sole reason for my visit to Montana last year was to research my Western comic strip. I certainly didn't enjoy it."

What's an Inspetcor?

Excellent! Hope you score lots of goals at golf today.

Crikey, Malc - you've stirred up a hornet's nest.

Well, maybe a chaffinch's nest...

Well done, anyway!

Wonderful! I laughed my head off. It amazes me that golfers carry so many different bats just to hit a little ball around.

Maybe thats my problem, I'm using the wrong kind of bats.

Tax inspetcors are a twisted bunch.

Why, oh why, oh why did I ever mention shanking?!
My golf was abysmal Elizabeth. Come to think of it, it wasn't even as good as that. I think I must have been wearing the wrong costume.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?

I don't know anything about shanking, golf or tax inspetcors; I just wanted to be the last person to post on this thread.  8)

I loved the sound effect in Horace the other day of the duck-whistle thing, "ker-wack"!

I just finished making my #2 son a 3D basketball cake.

Life can take you on all sorts of little turns can't it - but that dosn't mean we've forgotten about dear old Beau.

I borrow jokes from another forum but that lady has been pretty slow these last few months.  ;D

A 3D basketball cake? Aren't all cakes 3D? Having said that, the one I tried to make ended up flat...   :-[

Post by: Malc on May 03, 2007, 01:13:37 AM
Here's a marvel of physics. Do you want to know how to make a black forest gateau as flat as a tack yet still have it weigh a quarter ton? Ask my missus.


It's no one-off, either.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Mince on May 03, 2007, 01:14:52 AM
Does your missus read this board?  :D

Yes I do.

Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on May 03, 2007, 08:33:50 AM
In that case, can I put in an order? Sounds like you make BFG just the way I love it. It also sounds like it'd survive the post to the UK. Yum!
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Roger Kettle on May 03, 2007, 10:10:34 AM
I must learn to do those quote things. A few posts back, Tom complimented me on a sound effect I used in Horace.
Thank you.

It's really difficult, Roger. Just above each message is a little word that says "Quote". You have to click on it.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on May 03, 2007, 11:31:54 AM
BUT...you must click on the 'Quote' on the message you want to...um...quote, otherwise it will quote someone else. Have a practise first using the 'Preview' button. Peepsie will explain.

Wot, like this?

COO!
But how do you select a single sentence form a post?
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Mince on May 03, 2007, 01:14:15 PM
Edit your post (the one with the quote) using (http://board.beaupeep.com/Themes/dung/images/icons/modify_inline.gif) and look at how the quote works. Then try it with one sentence. (Cut and paste the sentence and then put the quote boxes round them.)

Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Roger Kettle on May 03, 2007, 01:20:59 PM
I won't be doing that, then.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Mince on May 03, 2007, 01:23:23 PM
Another way is to click QUOTE and the just delete the bits you don't want.

See if you can lock and sticky a topic.

I love wearing women's clothes and running down Clacton High Street in just a bra.

If you're a bit naughty, you can even alter what the quote was!!

Isn't it funny how some people can be brilliant, even geniuses, in certain ways, yet totally and utterly useless and inadequate in other ways. It's an interesting aspect of nature.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?

I wish I was a genius with birds like you are.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: The Peepmaster on May 04, 2007, 06:35:18 PM
It's not all a bed of roses. Once you start being adored, you have to continually live up to it!

I wasn't being personal when I mentioned being utterly useless and inadequate by the way.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Roger Kettle on May 04, 2007, 06:49:29 PM
As has been discussed many times before, I am completely useless at most things practical. It's all worth it to see the look on people's faces when I tell them I can't drive and don't own a mobile phone.
But back to your birds, Nige----when are you off to the Phillipines?

We fly out on 15th June and return on 6th July. I've just this week booked a luxury hotel suite of rooms for the first 5 days, on the outskirts of Manila. I've had to fork out the princely sum of ?16 a night - that's for both of us combined! (I didn't bother haggling). Haven't worked out the remaining ininerary yet, but it'll involve a couple of the other islands. It's all very exciting and I'm quite relaxed as my bird is obviously very familiar with the country. How the flip she ended up on Bute is quite beyond me in fact!
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Roger Kettle on May 04, 2007, 08:42:36 PM
I hope you've booked TWO rooms, Nige.
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Colin on May 04, 2007, 10:59:04 PM

aye, you'll need a room for your entourage.  ;D
Title: Re: Is This Board Still Working?
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on May 04, 2007, 11:59:32 PM
I don't think we need to know about your ininerary, thanks all the same. Some things are best kept private.

I'm getting the image of you as 007, lured by an asian SMERSH honey trap agent to their lair in the Philippines.
Sixteen quid a night? When's the penny going to drop, Meester Bond?

"M, you're a shite. A shite for shore eyesh"

Yes, it's the only impression I can do. Apart from Frank Spencer. "Mmmmm Jessica. Oo's gunna see the Queen on Gristmas Day?"

See?

That's an absolute hoot, well done to all. I peed myself, and yes, my wife also asked what I was laughing at.

And who was going to clean up the pee.
