No it doesn't !


Yes it does. Ask any psychologist person. It's human noise, happy clappy people create the illusion of a show in front of an audience even though it isn't. Again, it's one of these unconscious things that people argue the odds over.

It doesn't make me want to run into the street with a megaphone and some silly string
silly string ? - what do you do with that ?


Silly string is an essential tool. You can do all sorts with silly string. It's string, but - get this - it's silly!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does your psychologist person say about all those pregnant pauses in your posts ? Confused

No idea. But the sheer hell I went through putting quote tags in that post and making sure they even up and cancel out made me cry out for some silly string. I haven't even been drinking for goodness sake.

We haven't got silly string or psychologists up here in Wales - nor any quote tags that I can think of - you could have saved yourself the bother.
Never mind , at least you tried .

Silly string is a lethal weapon if your younger cousin (not Joe Public) gets hold of it on their 10th birthday and goes around firing it at point blank range.........

Life must be very hard where you are - all that canned applause - and silly string ! One does wonder how you all manage to pull through.

While we're on an ever so slightly random note, possibly due to an over indulgence in similes and silly string, I'd like to make a statement:

I bet £7.60 that Cerulean Sunrise is no less than a brand new "anonymous" Meic Young.

Is that smiles or similies ? And is that the same wonderful Meic Young that is every fisherman's dream ? Very Happy

Possibly, DAS, but surely even Meic has the basic intelligence to know the Wenvoe channel numbers?

I somehow knew that he wouldn't manage to get through even a single day of 'anonymity' before his new ID was rumbled...

Did we ought to publish his mobile number for complaints?

Oh no, he's already done that himself!
