    That at this moment in time there are 76 guest visitors on the forum.

    We've turned into a spectator sport.

    They can't all be well wishers for Jimbo, we're the only people he knows who can be bothered to talk to him.

    I have noticed this a few times Ken, the number of dark shadows far out weighing members. I really think the admins should restrict what the voyeurs’ can see. If they want full access then they should step up introduce them selves, its only polite after all. Perhaps we should have a vote ?

    I agree.

    In true democracy, shouldn't we vote to determine if a vote is the best way to agree?

    As democracy is considered as the will of the majority, therefore it it is, in itself a contradiction as it automatically disenfranchises the minority. The only true democracy can really be anarchy and as such, I think we've already succeeded.

    I say let 'em watch. This is how we roll, baby.

    I'm not fussed.

    I tell you what I did notice today. The Spar shop at the BP petrol station by Chertsey Bridge has started stocking Findus Crispy Pancakes. I can't remember the last time I saw them in a shop.

    What was the sell by date V? They may be the actual ones you saw last time.

    I heard the other day, but I don't know if it's true or not, that you can still get Chipmunk OXO flavoured crisps!

    Sell by date was 2014 Ken, so they're kosher.

    Probably just 'imported' from North of Watford.

    Rumour has it that Mr. Brains Faggots in gravy are still available in the North as well.

    this has been discussed a few times in the past and the result was that it will stop people from joining as they cannot see most of the info on here.

    this forum is growing much quicker than most new forums I know of. seems a change to reduce that

    I'm happy for them to be there, I'm just surprised how many there are. I'm going to have to start closing the toilet door.

    I am thinking we introduce the old hotel adult channels system, you get a couple of minutes free then it shuts down (allegedly ). Which reminds me of a great story from a few years ago when checking out of a hotel one morning behind one of my sales guys. The hotel receptionist presents the bill to the salesman who looks at it, and indignantly hands it back and saying “but I haven’t watched the pay tv !” Ok sir there must be some mistake; I will double check the system. Receptionist comes back with a print out and explains in a loud voice that the pay tv was accessed a number of times and goes on to explain how many times, at what time and for how long. He then went on to explain that although most were below the pay up point it was unfortunate that the last one had been missed calculated and therefore sir will have to pay for the service. By this time me along with the queue of people waiting are in now in bits. I then added “Dude, I can’t wait to see how you are going to justify this on your expenses” at which point the whole line of people are pissing themselves. The Best of it was the receptionist never even cracked his face whilst one very red faced salesman handed over his credit cards, one for the hotel and bar bill and his own for the TV. It was a classic I am telling you.

    I think you should get a free 4pk of Findus Crispy Pancakes if you make 100 legit posts in your first full month

    Outstanding. I had a similar one checking out of a hotel in Geneva with my boss and he gets a bill for using the WiFi. Most indignant he was about how he would have no reason to be surfing the internet at 1:00am and he most certainly would not pay. Eventually the receptionist agreed to waive it and filled out the paperwork exchanging very knowing glances with me over the counter.

    Funny, the whole scene wasn't mentioned once in the taxi to the airport, on the plane, in the car from the airport, or since to my knowledge.

    I didn't think you had the nose to be a red sea pedestrian Ken?

    Haha! No mate. I've got the nose, but I'm an honest to goodness lapsed catholic atheist, down to my pre-determinedly cursed bones.

    I've just got a little bit of a jewish outlook on life, is all.

    I forgot to mention that not long after during a sales meeting I presented said salesman with one of those little oven timer thingys, at which point he had to explain to one and all why. I have to give him credit, he told the story just as it was. One of other fella's asked why would he would be interested, him being gay and all. “Oh I just look at the cocks just like I do when you’re stood next to me in the gents” was his brilliant reply. I swear I thought I was going to crack a rib. Them’s were the days when the job was fun. We worked hard, and we played even harder. Now we are only allowed to work hard.
