I saw the request and have as far as possible I have avoided this, but I also expressed my opinion in that post (wherever that was). Hitting the reply button to answer the last post is NOT the problem. It is hitting the reply button to answering the post 15 posts before, that is the problem. Some responses can be from posts years old, because someone was just browsing and found something interesting to answer. Well, there is no point answering because the person who wrote the post will never know. There is no continuous thread. The person you are responding to will never know you have resp

My Saturday cinema was 2PM at the Apollo on Berridge Road, Forest Fields. It was 6d . On more than one ocassion I got away with passing a off silver thruppenny bit. I used to go with my old mate Robert Tate. We used to rifle through all the celluloid film that had been dumped in the bins. I often wonder where he is now. The cinema has met the same fate as the churches in the area. It is an Asian temple, of some sort, now.

... and very lucky, too !

So ... Orange's are not the only fruit then??

#2659 Mercury Dancer. Good grief man, you're only 53. You've only seen one monarch on the throne. A mere baby on here ! I have cuff links as old as you.

Quite a few famous quotes here, that never happened: "Not a lot of people know that" "You dirty rat" "Play it again Sam" Leastways, that's the claim. There as dozens of quotes by varuous actors, who deny ever saying them. All of these apparently, were used by impressionists who created the line as a part of their act. I remember Peter Sellars on th Parkinso show, many years ago, did his impression of Michael Caine, in which he said the following: "D' you know... that man over there: killed 40 men, maybe more. Not a lot of people know that" Since then the phrase has stuck.

#2462 I don't think anyone finds it difficult, Michael Booth. It just makes logical and comon sense to use a feature that is provided. If it really does cause so much trouble, then it makes sense to just remove the feature. It is currenlty the only way that a member can quickly see that he has had a response to a post, because he is notified. If quoting is not used and just the #xxxx, there is no notification process, so a member has to browse through all of the posts to go find if anyone responded, even when he felt no need to return to that particular forum. In fact I only found the

I had a most strange experience in the Trinity Square cafe in the late 60's. Those who frequented it then would recall that it had a balcony section, above. I was in there with the Mrs one Saturday, when I found myself looking at my reflection. (as all young men are inclined ).. BUT the reflection did not move as I did. After a few seconds I realised that I was actually looking up at the balcony. At which point I realised it wasn't me. By this time, the wife had also spotted me in the balcony. I have no idea why, but I just grabbed my jacket and fled, dragging the wife behind me. I still ca

Dare I ask without getting chided? I stopped doing this after reading this remark a couple of weeks ago. I just don't know why. Why is quoting a problem? It seems the only sensible way to directly respond to a comment. Otherwise the thread is lost. Surely that's what it is there for! What happens to the site to cause a problem?

To be fair: I'm a grumpy old man. I hate pretty much everything !

No-one will convince me that Broccoli is a food. It is probably useful for making little trees on a model railway, but beyond that it is useless. I loathe the stuff.

Still have all mine: AF, Whits, BS, open-enders, combination, ring, box, sockets. And my bike spanners. I even bought brand new tools boxes for them. sadly; to sit in the garage dong nothing. I even have the hoist in place. One day I will find a project I can afford; before I am too senile. I hope. (I have all the metric, too.)

If a black hole was painted white and nobody was there to see it, would it make a noise?

I recall there was a "FAL 1C" The last time I saw it it was on Hucknall Road on a yellow MGB GT driven by a lady.

Whatever happened to black holes?

Nah, Definitely imagining it, John

Not all bank accounts are bad. We have three Santander 123 ccounts, which costs £24 per year but earn 1% and 2% up to £3K and then earn 3% on balances between £3K and £20K. On top of that we earn between 1% and 3% on purchases on the card including petrol, food and clothes at a huge range of outlets (which is auto paid off each month, so no charges). Then we also get preferential rates on ISA's. All we have to do is put £500 per month in each account and have three direct debits, which also attract an earning. We use our RBS account to "pass round" the £500 per month. I thinks it must be the
