Whilst I find that in some threads, eg The Sunday chat Room, are ok for that day, i thought it be a good idea to have a thread that has what people here can contribute to chat about anything and everething(within the boundaries of the rules of this board ofcourse!).

BBM, what a brilliant idea! I hope the powers that be agree. -
How will this be different from the Stormy Weather room then?

TIPPEX!
Is it just me, or has Tippex become rubbish recently? It takes ages to dry, runs around the paper, makes a mess of the photocopier glass - AND DOESN'T WORK!!!!! The copy that comes out has a grey smudge where the Tippex has covered the mistake (and where it's dribbled down/across the page!)
I feel better now - thanks, Bbm.

Good point... but in fact I know of a few who don't frequent the weather thread but who like a nice natter...Originally posted by amateur51 View PostHow will this be different from the Stormy Weather room then?
Ferney's Tippex-driven cri-de-coeur wouldn't necessarily have fitted there - and if he'd started a new thread to moan about Tippex, we'd have thought he was nuts!
Glad you got that off your chest, ferns.
(Actually - are you using a fresh pot? Haven't used it for ages, but I recall that an elderly pot will become more liquid and less effective...

Surely one of the joys of Stormy Weather is that all ferney would have had to do to make his cri de couer entirely à propos is to offer a snappy weather snapshot such as "Back OT, raining cats and dogs here"Originally posted by Caliban View PostGood point... but in fact I know of a few who don't frequent the weather thread but who like a nice natter...

Since you mention it, it's rather grey here....
But back OT, nothing is bothering me particularly just at the moment

All of which will return one day, when "inevitable capitalism" fails to find renewable replacements for energy supplies - even sock suspenders! - for when civilisation finally collapses due to humankind's failure to stand up colectively and be counted, some, last, wise man or woman, will be there to document it for whatever life forms evolve to an appreciative posterity.Originally posted by mercia View Postdo people still use tippex ?

On a lighter side, ahem, two young women in the office where I once worked came in wearing "Cover your boobs with Tippex" slogans, and the line manager ordered them home!

Really? I think mine is quite new - and the problem used to be that the stuff began to coagulate after a few weeks. Tippex thinner used to remedy that problem, but the manufacturers stopped making thinner when they added a new ingredient that slowed down the coagulation process.

is a rain flurry like a mac flurry? (only seen them advertised , never tried one of course).
OK, not just a moan thread I know, but the "new" school History curriculum.....rubbish. Out goes any attempt to get kids to think (too dangerous for governments) in comes rote learning facts about the lovely Normans.
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Why were there a record breaking 435 users online on 3 August 2011 ?
The Prom that night was mainly of twentieth century French music performed by the BBC Scottish.Comment
