Don't be daft, I wasn't leaving Verno to the thread, just to the nastiness. I'm sure she can manage very well by herself.

Today I almost used the word perfunctory in an e-mail...Wink

Oh and Mickey, stop twinkling Razz

We knew that, you berk. Razz

And I'm afraid that twinkling is now mandatory.

Well your word of the day is clearly berk Razz

Vern's taken a few pot-shots at me recently, don't see how I'm being a diva for calling her on it. Anyway she can do her thing and I'll do mine, it's a big enough board Smile

Now I'm off to sing Madame Butterfly Wink

You do know, Bug, that you are one of the very few people who can cause me to physically laugh out loud on the internet. Worrying, really.

How exactly was I being nasty ? Is everybody else allowed to joke with you except me ?

Perhaps you could furnish me with a copy of your rules so I don't upset you so much.

Interesting word "FURNISH".

It`s got two different explanations.

Verno wants bug to "furnish" her with a set of rules, and I want to "furnish" my house.

Or possibly Vern wants Bug to cover her with settees and throw rugs.

If you were joking then you need to give some kind of clue, because you seemed serious to me. I can't remember the last time you said something to me that wasn't a dour insult.

Here are some typical clues:
-Make it funny
-Make it witty
-Or at least make it seem as though you didn't say it just to be insulting
-Add a smiley
-Have recently had some kind of interaction with the target that would tip the target off that you weren't just having a dig. I.e. something that wasn't just an insult.

Dour, that's a cool word Smile

I`m sure that is a much safer option.

Although covering Vern with rugs whilst bug throws settees would be much more amusing to the onlookers. Big Grin

Is Takeshi's Castle the one with the ropes? Confused

Confused

Takeshi`s castle ends with the survivors of the previous events driving around trying to squirt water jets through targets on the Castle guards transport, while also dodging the water jets fired by the same Castle guards.


And I really DO mean "survivors". Some of the games look to be ever so painful!

It`s got Craig(?) Charles doing the commentary (him from Red Dwarf).

Oh, I see. I thought it was the one where they had to scale a building using ropes. *embarassed*

I think you mean Fort Boyard, Becky. Although scaling the castle with ropes and grappling hooks was my favourite round of the original It's A Knockout. The chances of you remembering that show are pretty slim, though!

Oh, okay then.

I used to really love The Crystal Maze, though. Yeah.
