Isn't it sad,  that the wonderful old Indian man who ran Marathons till he was 100 yrs old,  got killed by -  not his age,  not illness, not prescribed drugs . . .  but a spineless,  hit-and-run driver!
They are saying he was the oldest man in the world.
What an incredible age.

I thought you meant you had a shower with someone but it only lasted for a minute. 
 

    

I shall buy a new frock for the night
Nothing sexy to give Fred a fright

Quote from: Ruthio on Today at 09:02:06 PMExactly! Which is why I wonder what on earth he said that's worth making all this fuss years and years later

Who knows? 
Maybe it says more about the person complaining, than a word he is supposed to have said yrs ago?

Quote from: klondike on Today at 08:57:39 PMFew forums ever remove user IDs or even indicate that the ID is no longer active but many will indicate if the user is banned. I'm not sure if Simple Machines based forums such as here and PF show bans as nobody has been banned here and being banned on PF I can't list the users or at least don't think I can.

Users that delete their accounts are not listed here as I made that action possible by user choice. On PF it used to be up to the admin as I deleted an account there which I noticed was still there when I rejoined later using a different ID.

I didn't know that, Klondie.    I was inexperienced as that was the first place I had ever joined.

Surely someone can't boast of say . . .  eg.  2,000 members  if they've only got 50 now, though?
Ah well,  it doesn't really matter,  as I am not there any more, and never will be.

Quote from: Mups on Today at 08:18:53 PMI read he is supposed to have said ONE word in a story he was telling 7 or 8 years ago!!
What type of person would even remember that? 

I doubt I would even remember saying a certain word last week, let alone 8 years ago!

A burst water pipe down in Clapham,  South  London,  caused a big sink hole to open up.
It must be pretty  scary  if that happens outside your house!

Quote from: JBR on Today at 06:24:39 PMAzz didn't actually ban me, but whenever I posted it was temporarily blocked to the extent that no-one would see it until he decided I had been punished enough!
I decided then that he didn't deserve my interesting and helpful contributions and resolved never to visit again.
I have never had any interest to go back since.

I was never banned, either, JBR.
I left of my own free will at the dictatorial place it had become.
