[ADMIN EDIT: This topic used to be in a forum called "Roger Competition" that was hidden from Roger Kettle.]
The only members who can see this board are:
Colin
Diane CBPFC
Elizabeth
Fyodor
Malc
Max
Tarquin Thunderthighs lll
The Peepmaster
Tom
Invite others if you wish. I can easily add them.
-
Roger cannot see this forum.
-
Here is the competition:
The first person to get Roger to use a certain word in one of his posts wins.
The competition is over if anyone else uses the word. Of course, we could all agree to choose another word.
Anyone who rats on me and tells Roger will be mercilessly hunted down and subjected to endless episodes of Doctor Who.
I vote that Mince chooses the word.
-
Okay - interesting concept.
Here's my word, (humour related): "Ribaldry".
-
Does Roger even know that word?
-
Ribaldry
gaminess: behavior or language bordering on indelicacy
Ribaldry is the third and somewhat neglected genre of sexual entertainments, something different from either pornography or erotica, yet is often confused with them.
-
I could ask him for an anagram for "Dry Blair"...
-
I think I've not won this competition... I'm having a problem getting my head around the definition of the word, let alone the word itself... ???
Ah well, never mind... I always never win competitions. :(
-
Perhaps we need some rules.
If I post after Malc (thanks for the laugh by the way), does Roger's post become my victory or his?
-
Okay, so I should have read this thread before I posted the answer to Malc's pseudo question on the other board, but i always like to save the new and interesting threads till last...like the big presents at Christmas.
So I've cocked this one up...sorry! I have to say though, I was DEEPLY suspicious that Malc didn't know the word 'ribaldry', and I did post the answer with trepidation, awaiting some kind of payback for the trap I'd just fallen into. And Roger is far cleverer than I'll ever be. He probably would have read this thread first, for a kick-off!
Once again, I apologise. I don't think I've spoilt the game (excellent idea, by the way, Mince, as befits the evil, twisted genius you so obviously are), but a new word is needed...along with a new method of entrapment. I don't think he'd have fallen for it like I did.
:-[
-
Can I just say that I haven't laughed so much for a long time. :)
Peepmaster or Tarquin, choose another word.
-
How about 'tart'?
Can Roger even see this competition forum?
-
Okay - so I've now read this thread properly. Please ignore my last question.
I'm not having a good night! :-[ :-[
-
Forget all this about ?Ribaldry? what I want to know is there another forum like this all about me? Are you all talking about me and I don?t know it? :o
Sure its fun to post on the secret Roger forum and the secret Mince forum but now I am starting to get paranoid.
-
If there was a secret Mince forum, surely you would have just blown it, Diane?
If there is, where is it so I can join in the fun?
As for the "ribaldry" thread, my cunningly laid trap can still be sprung, owing to my cunningly laid plan B, which consists of me not acknowledging TT's answer as correct.
Hopefully Roger will come in and insist that it is correct, but it all turns to mush if he simply answers "Malc, I think you'll find that Tarquin's answer is right". I need him to actually use the word "ribaldry" if I am going to win the twenty five thousand quid.
-
Ah, but Malc, unfortunately, under the strict and carefully-crafted rules of this competition, as outlined in Post 3, if someone else uses the word, the game's up. And I, as the guilty party, albeit in my naive innocence (aka stupidity), have effectively ended the 'ribaldry' ruse...along with Diamond Lil, who has now sunk it without trace (I note she has no access to this board - presumably because of being Roger's sister), and included a seemingly narked reference to the "rude email" sent out about the competition, which I assume Roger didn't get (and hopefully won't ask questions about).
I'd be happy to overlook that rule (I would, wouldn't I?) of course, but I feel the task is getting more difficult for that particular word, but let's wait and see. Roger seems to have gone quiet over the past 24 hours...he's not gone away on holiday in an ironic twist of fate (or even a caravan) by any chance?
Diane, you've really got me worried now. Have I been the victim of a double bluff here, and provided Malc and Peepsie with a share of the spoils in the 25-grand TTTT (everyone misses that third 'T') Competition? Is there a Gullibility booby prize?
-
To answer Diane's question: Peepmaster is also an admin and can see ALL forums. If you don't believe me, ask him.
As per the rules, "ribaldry" has been used and so we choose another word. Tarquin has chosen "tart".
-
I did not send Diamond Lil an email. I think she is referring to the other topic I started about mass emailing everyone.
I can invite her to the competition.

Perhaps wait 'til she's in a better mood...
-
On your head be it . . .
-
"Stop all this ribena" ;D ;D ;D
Told you he was clever!
-
Funny thing is, Ribena was going to be my first choice of word...
-
Question is, would that have altered Malc's strategy?
-
Answer is, no.
My strategy was brilliant, the only thing stopping it from succeeding was the blundering intervention of a certain ginger twit.
Now I will have to come up with a similarly inspired plan for "tart".
-
Answer is, no.

You call that inspired? You barge into the middle of my subtle and beautifully-constructed steering of the conversation to dangle the bait of comedy puddings, and plonk (yes, that's the word, plonk) in a seemingly irrelevant word association that most SEVEN-year-olds would deem insulting, and not expect Roger to smell a tart...I mean rat?
And you have the nerve to call me a ginger twat? Actually, with all the white hair I'm amassing, it now looks blonde.
-
Twit, not twat!
I wouldn't sully the delicate ears of the ladies who grace us with their presence on this forum with such language.
-
I apologise - that was a very unfortunate and unintended typo.
For continuity purposes (I'd hate for it to appear like Malc was talking gibberish) I shall resist editing my last post. But I do humbly apologise for the aberration.
However, I stand by everything else.
-
Answer is, no.

Call that a plan? The best answer you can get is "tarts" - watch my lemon thread and weep!
-
If there was a secret Mince forum, surely you would have just blown it, Diane?
If there is, where is it so I can join in the fun?
I was just winding Mince up. ;)
-
Truly inspired Diane - I laughed out loud at your lemons post :D
-

Actually, Diane, in Malc's defence (since he'll be sleeping now, after the arduous task of dreaming up his strategy), the word 'tart' would probably be the preferred correct answer to his question (although the said seven-year-olds may offer 'tarts').
Your new thread is a little bit Enid Blyton/Famous Five if you don't mind me saying, but jolly good luck with it anyway.
I'm stepping back from this for a strategic moment of my own, since Malc has effectively stampeded all over my own carefully deployed plan, and I think another new thread at this stage would certainly arouse suspicion. I have no desire to arouse Roger, so I'll keep my mouth shut...for now.
-
"She is a FLAN"??!!!
I'm beginning to think the double bluff is that Mincey & Roger are looking in on this forum, unknown to us, having a right good laugh at our expense.
She is A FLAN!!!! :o :o :o
-
Reading the grammar thread: - he's onto us he is.
-
The 25 grand is all Malc's...but I'm not a happy bunny!
-
Reading the grammar thread: - he's onto us he is.
I doubt if he thinks it's all about him though, Diane - just that he sprung the trap first.
And where's Mince?
-
He's laughing, generally.
-
Shall we choose the next word or just let Roger in on this?
-
Next word: Budgie
-
Piece of cake, Diane - one might almost say 'tart'! ;D
-
Er...that didn't come out quite the way I intended. More apologies...
-
I'm reading these posts as though everyone is huddled in the corner of a large darkened room, wearing long overcoats and dark glasses, and a variety of hats, and talking in a whisper... I LOVE IT!!!
Soooo.."budgie"...
-
Not logged on for 2 days.
Was in London Today and just got back and logged on. This is a great idea.
I've not read any other threads yet so has anyone won?
Maybe I should just read them eh?
-
Can I just say to everyone that your loyalty to Roger is commendable.
-
Yeah, like you had nothing to do with any of this, Mr Mince?
It was all a test of our loyalty no doubt...well, if you want to avoid a wrinkled face, don't suck lemons!
-
Don't look at me, this thread was already on its 3rd page before I knew anything about it.
-
Tarquin's got 'budgie'. It's almost like shelling peas.
Who says we all confess to Roger?
-
It was hardly a multi-choice question that TTTT posed. ::)
Bit too early to confess to Roger. I think there's mileage in this game yet.
-
And I thought I was evil. :)

Talk about a bad loooooooooo-ze-er!
Actually, my conscience is beginning to hit home, and I'm feeling bad for Roger now.
So only one more go, yes?
Mince, a word if you please?
-
Okay, the last word is "envelopes". It must be plural.
-
What do you send your letters in, Roger?
Er, Peepmaster, subtlety please!
-
What do you send your letters in, Roger?
Er, Peepmaster, subtlety please!
I was trying the TTTT-style approach...
-
Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery. :-*
-
Just wait until Roger sees all this. I think I'll blame it all on Peepmaster.
-
I've just been down to the Gold Coast shopping with the missus so I missed all the hilarity and my magnificent victory.
Well done, me.
-
I never started this thread, but it says that I did! That's fraudulent. Can't you change it to Tarquin?
-
;D
-
I don't know what you mean by ". . . change it to Tarquin", Peepmaster. If you mean, change the first few posts of this topic so that it looks as though Tarquin made them, and not you, I'm afraid that's not physically possible. Besides, you're an admin: you should know that the board does not allow even admins to mess with posts to make it look as though they were made by someone else.
So I'm at a loss to what you're on about.
Can I just say, however, that this topic has been immense fun over the past few days, and that I think it was pure genius on your part, Peepmaster, for setting up this hidden forum and starting this game.
-
Hmmm. ::)
-
Well I think it was reprehensible.
I've just got back from a week's business trip in darkest Borneo, with no Internet access, and I find all of this. I'm shocked that someone (presumably an administrator) has been using my identity to make numerous posts pretending to be me.
It's a disgrace. I'm seriously thinking of transferring to the Shuggie & Duggie forum.
-
Don't give Mincey your credit card number!
-
I'm shocked that someone (presumably an administrator) has been using my identity to make numerous posts pretending to be me.
It's strange how all those "numerous posts" have the same IP number as the one denying that you made them.
-
Someone's abusing the system...
-

This is far worse than I first thought. I'm changing my locks.
-
Tarquin, if you're saying that someone used your computer, perhaps you ought to work out which board member is geographically closer to you. How far away does Roger live from you?
-
Don't look at me, this thread was already on its 3rd page before I knew anything about it.
Don't look at me, this thread was already on its 5th page before I knew anything about it 8)
-

328 miles away. Who's closer? >:(
-
Roger can now see this topic.
-
Roger can now see this topic.
WHAT? You mean Roger couldn't see any of this until now? That's despicable! :o
-
Let's see if we can get Roger to say "What a bunch of rotten b******s!"
-
I have to admit, catching up on all this, it was very, very funny. I was getting more and more confused by the surreal posting that was going on in the regular site as topics ranged from ribaldry to lemons via Adam Faith and envelopes. Well done!
(I know where you all live.......)
-
There's a Shuggie and Duggie forum?
-
Let's hope not.
If you know where everyone lives, Roger, who's nearest me, because this past week, I've...
Hang on - you thought this was all very, very funny? Ah! Okay, it WAS really me, and this was all Peepsie's doing.
-
Hey, I'm the genius here, and don't you forget it.
-
Hoist by your own petard.
-
Hmmm. ::)
-
Hoist by your own petard.

It turned out to be a real treat, reading all five pages of the scam at once---I genuinely laughed out loud several times. The best ever thread on the Beau site and I wasn't involved in any of it!
-
Why is my name not included in the select list of those who can see this board?...and sorry, guys, I can see it. Looks like I blew it as well by giving the noun as ribaldry :-\
-
Why is my name not included in the select list
You are Roger's sister and you demonstrated some time ago how loyal you are to him (when you would not spill the beans about him as a kid) and so I . . . er, I mean Peepmaster thought it best not to include you in case you ratted on us.
sorry, guys, I can see it.
The topic used to be in a hidden forum. I have only just moved it here to this public forum.
Looks like I blew it as well by giving the noun as ribaldry :-\
No, Tarquin did that all by himself.
-
If you want to be involved next time you'll have to sign some kind of pledge of allegiance to the . . . er . . . actually we don't have a name yet . . . and promise "to drop your brother in it". I'm sure Peepmaster will sort out the necessary forms.
-

You must pledge to be loyal to the Darstardly Devilish Deep Dung Depositing Division.
-
Someone needs to design a badge for the DDDDDD.

Just to be clear - she wouldn't have to be able to say "Darstardly Devilish Deep Dung Depositing Division" though would she?
-
She can just say "The Sextuple D".
-
She can just say "The Sextuple D".
Or "The Sixdees"?
Can someone think of a thingy? (What they call letters for names). I forget...
-
Actually, that name sounds more like a bra size.
-
The Double D Trilogy. Rolls off the tongue.
Peepsie, if you think anyone is going to answer a direct question on this forum for at least the next six months, you must also think we all came up the Clyde in a banana boat.
-
Or a CalMac ferry.
-
Just to be clear - she wouldn't have to be able to say "Darstardly Devilish Deep Dung Depositing Division" though would she?
Chertainly not before I've put my teeth in for the day, shurely.
As for the real dilemma...a 6D badge in the shape of a bra versus loyalty?......thinking......oh all right...when he was little, on being asked what his favourite things were, replied "mince and cowboys" (how spooky is that?) The list was later expanded to include Helen Shapiro 8)
-
Maybe "The Helen Shapiro Club"? That would be great cover, masquerading as a fan club.
Alternatively, (and I've been sleeping on this), how about:
Dee, Dee, Dee & the Dees! (D,D,D&theD's)
Slogan: "What I'm Six D For". (Nodding reference to Sergeant Pepper on its 40th anniversary).
-
.
-
It should be called Match Of The Day.
That's the tune that goes: Dee dee dee DEE dee dee dee...
-
Not only is that seven 'dee's, Malc, but you've missed one out. For goodness sake, man, pull yourself together!
-
Three Fat Ladies - (3 double-D's)?
I actually know very little about bra sizes...
-
I had to include that extra Dee or you wouldn't get the tune.
-
But you were still one short.
-
Actually, two!
-
Sure it wasn't three?
-
nope.
-
How can you be sure?
-
Congratulations. I think you did it!
-
Shall I roll out my master plan now?
-
If it isn't too shocking for the ladies.
-
So, what did you think of it?
-
What? Did I miss something?
-
Bugger! I tried banning you but it didn't work!
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
A master plan is like a master bedroom. Without an en suite, it's just a bedroom.
I'll leave that with you.
-
Thanks, Malc, that's very helpful.
Though I'd say a master plan is more like a lounge really, with net curtains and an Axminster carpet. Oh, and a mahogany coffee table with Reader's Digest books on it.
-
When I was part of the project to re-introduce timber wolves to the Scottish highlands, we also planted many mahogany saplings, after all, they needed timber to run in and around whilst chasing the deer.
The trees subsequently became known as McHogany and we celebrate their planting every New Year at our McHogany Hogmanay where we also discourage the swapping of partners, (McHogany Hogmanay monogamy as it's become known).
Sadly this whole ritual, culminating in the trees being sent to the mills, has become the object of a takeover by a group of paper-folders who want to dominate everything, a McHogany Hogmanay monogamy origami hegemony, if you will.
As for the re-introduction of the wolves, we found that once they had been introduced, (a how-de-do process consisting of sniffing each others' backsides) virtually no re-introduction was necessary and we went home.
-
Treemendous tale!
;D Should have been referred to the McHogany Hogmanay Monogamy Origami Hegemony Monopolies Commission.
