      I've had both flavours of rep signed, but not always using the right name.


      My favourite positive rep received was this one, in response to a Doom and Gloom thread I started:

      Good doom. Keep it up whilst I am too busy counting my gold bars. DP

        AtW? He's repped me as DP before, concerning gold as well.

          Sounds like some of you were telling porkies when I asked if you would ever have joined in the riots. Thieves and vagabonds.
          Just saying like.

          where there's chaos, there's cash !

          I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

                I must have been about 8 years old. When we went to the corner shop, the sweet old man in the back would hear the bell chime on the door and take almost a full minute to get to the front of the shop.

                During that time, we'd fill our pockets with sweets, then buy something for 10p

                  Not really in the spirit of things is it EO? Name and shame, then I'll see you and the usual rabble on PM to launch a coordinated mind game attack.

                  I bet it was one of those pesky newbies.

                  My condolences btw.

                    An electronic engineering student mate at uni who was a tea connoisseur built a timer with settings for several different kinds of tea, such as Earl Grey, Assam, etc. I had no idea they all needed brewing for different times, or else as he claimed they would taste like ditch water.

                    Anyway, to put his theory to the test, I swapped round all the labels on his timer, and watched intrigued as he tried one brew after the other grimacing at the taste and wondering what had gone so horribly wrong.

                    To this day I feel guilty about that mean trick.
