Same to you.

I see the new system has it's flaws then. It's somehow comforting that these cretins can still happily morph away (by constantly editing their details). If it doesn't say "terry as was" on the tin then it isn't.

Nobody remotely gives a shit about what your tin says. And when you were away it was pleasant, and you were not missed.

Carol,
You seem to spend time thinking about me though and couldn't wait to sort of welcome me back. On the other hand I don't know who you are and I don't care.

Why do people like Trigger et al get so humpty about threads like this? It is an entertaining discussion,no one's being abusive and it would be very sad if everything was rigidly categorised into what you can or cannot discuss on this forum. If you are unhappy about a thread then answer is simple - don't read it!

Your comment "if everything was rigidly categorised" interested me.
When I was younger, I used to think things were rigidly categorised - e.g. animal, vegetable, mineral, etc.- now I share a view which I heard someone more enlightened once offer: "When nature draws a line, it's usually blurred." (Or words to that effect).

Twn, I think that is a good obserevation for everything in life.

Sorry - Twm! Fat finger syndrome again.

For the benefit of those who think we have strayed from the ethos of the forum, i will give a clue. I think I know the answer but will look forward to your suggestions.

Clue: Constipation (10) N????????n

Off to the new transport museum. Will post my answer later.

Last week Tonyw introduced me to a new word...persiflage.


n. light frivolous conversation, style, or treatment; friendly teasing
[via French, from persifler to tease, from per- (intensive) + siffler to whistle, from Latin sībilāre to whistle]

A fabulous description of this thread.

Maybe in future we could use it as a heading!
