Has the world gone mad?

[Flosshilde]

I'm away for a few days & when I return I find the forum full of threads about wood (with posts that suggest the authors - principally tapiola & teamsaint - were 'on something'), & that Simon has returned (I look forward to being ignored by him).

Still ,at least some things remain constant - Mozart still would have preferred his music performed by a 21st century symphony orchestra, if only he hadn't been foolish enough to have been born in the 18th century.

This just illustrates the dangers of going away, flossie, even if for only a few days.

Oh, Flossie, how we've missed your ever-wise counsel and instead have had to suffer all these wooden offerings from others!

I'm delighted to see the return of more individualistic members such as Simon, though generally remain unmoved by the sound of Mozart on any type of orchestra, and, as for the world, I am of the firm opinion that it was just as mad before you happened to go 'away for a few days' as it undoubtedly is now...

principally me? " On something"? Do I detect little green eye at being"away" during a short golden era for the forum?

And what of this going "away", even for a few days? Hmmmmm

As for the return of the Simon, there are one or two others still missing....odd....

(edit/ps, If you look closely, you will see that I am but but a bit part player in the FOR3 "wood" extravaganza...I don't want to take any of the glory ! And if anything it's made the world a fraction more sane...not not by much, and there is a long way to go...george osborne is still in a good job, for starters, and aspartame is still poisoning us for another.)

I think the only one missing is an Edwood Woodwood thread? Wood you like to start one, and feel part of things?

Perhaps we've reached the Dead wood stage!

ah, fart in a bath -

"Woodward was the butt of gentle teasing about his name throughout his career, which he bore with good humour, perhaps because among the first to joke was Laurence Olivier, who in the 1960s once remarked to Noel Coward that his name sounded "like a fart in the bath, Edwub Wub Wub". Judi Dench, Woodward once noted, was among the first to call him "Ewar Woowar", his name with the Ds removed." [obit in The Guardian ]

Wooden dream of it.

I should make it clear that I went voluntarily.


My room was only lightly padded.

[french frank]

And I heard the man pronounce his name as Eh-derd Uh-derd, removing the w's, West Country style, where 'would you, would he' becomes' 'oud ee'.

'on something'

Just high on life, Flossie!

Sorry if I sounded a bit defensive in my posts above. I do tend to rail against things, sometimes.

No offence taken here, my friend. I thought your initial post was very amusing.
