The word Bob

[MarillionFan]

I get a call from Norman and Susan every Friday. I used to try and keep them on the line for ages to waste their time. Now I just use it as a way to vent steam using foul language.

No way to talk to your parents.

True, but it's stopped them asking me stoopid questions about the internet being broken.

That just made me think, not that I'd ever do it (honest) but if someone phones you, unsolicited, it a crime for you to talk dirty back to them?

I thought 'bob' denoted the action of a person at sea who is not proficient in swimming but is wearing a lifejacket?

[NotAllThere]

Can someone clarify whether those Bobs who call me out of the blue and introduce themselves as Simon, David or Jim can be called Bobs?

And what about the Bobs who call to tell me my laptop is about to explode? Can I call them Bobs?

Don't worry. If you overstep the mark, I'll be sure to let you know. I may even give you a warning before banning you.

What about Bobs who play us at cricket then? I'd argue that's a rather endearing use of the term Bob, me being a cricket lover.

In the PCG forums (last time I was there) you couldn't even discuss moderator decisions without being banned - and that is a democratic organisation (apparently).

I got caught out on another forum too - make a little joke about someone being banned and found myself in trouble.

[Doggy Styles]

PF was banned from the PCG forums for impersonating a moderator. Banned for life I think.

We're not as draconian here, are we?

Great PF was, is he still on shout99? Oh hang on:
