If you checked my join date you'd see I'd been here a year too. She never mentioned it because she is not a foreigner, although may have the same level of literacy as one

Most probably not a 'she' either.

You're not big enough!

Careful! I'll set the dogs on yer

Oh!

[Churchill]

I think that anybody that has been on this (or the old ) forum for more than 4 years should be retired (By force if necessary)

TPD is the thread of love'n'hugs - no flaming allowed in there

SD has mentioned several times over the past year that she isn't originally from the UK.

CFK is a troll.

General is now the official home of people who are so dumb that they think what they read in the Daily Mail has some vague relationship to facts, as opposed to being the rabid, nonsensical, bigoted distortions, half-truths, outright lies and deranged ramblings that have for so many years been the hallmark of that bastion of bulltulip's output

Meanwhile, did I mention that TPD is the one place on this board where everybody (except tay) is nice to everybody else?

Oh, and Technical is technical - Zeity posted source code on there the other day, in response to my demands, and we got it working

So?

What do you want done about it?

As a veteran of 2002 or 2003-abouts, I've noticed a bit of shifting on these forums in the past year or so.

Stop being a knob.

Oh yes! I was thinking of Janekszecau (there is no chance I've spelled that right!) but forgot about DBNO! Wasn't he the one who posted about being a high-flying interim manager, until somebody dredged up his first ever post and it was about how he had lost his helpdesk job and couldn't get another one?

My second finest hour.

It all went pear shaped when people started to meet in person and form 'relationships'.

[SandyDown]

Yep Janek from Wales... was so depressed....

What about NamesFacesPlaces ... think he went to the US or something.

Dbno!

Maybe. That and the moving emoticons, especially the hugging one. It's certainly a more emotionally diverse atmosphere. In the old days the arguments were just as vicious but nobody took any notice of them.

teeeheheee yes I remember the most annoying smilies at the time... was it MiketheBike or Milan who used to post this at the end of each post :

[SandyDown]

Not nostalgic for the bench of course

[thunderlizard]

Thunder, do you think its the sudden influx of women contractors that done it??

2002 - the golden summer of fox hunting debates, FTVs, DBNO and 'coding is not actually all that skilled a job'.

ooohhhh feeling so nostalgic... I recall the fox hunting debate
That was the time when I was longest on the bench - stayed around 3 months on the bench!!

[SandyDown]

oh correction, i do have the time to post, only i am not allowed to post cuz of the client net access issues
