Kitty Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 [quote user="sweet 17"] Randy's knickers are the sort that they display outside Anne Summers' Shops and which make you take sneaky looks whilst pretending to be interested in something else across the street.[/quote]Who displays them outside? I think that we should be told.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 [quote user="odile"]I know Sweet - but why does she wear them on her head like that? Is that what British Ladies do when abroad?[/quote]No, it's NOT what MOST British Ladies do when abroad.But, you try convincing Randy that just because they are red with lacey black bits and holes in different places, she doesn't actually need to show them off, and you'll understand what a difficult job it is!I wish Wooly would keep her under lock and key sometimes but then she IS so amusing and she does so love spending time at Chateau Sweet, I just haven't the heart to dissuade her.

Sprogster Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 5-element might be correct in that it might be a cunning marketing ploy, as the letter was sent to all registered members and the forum concerned was recently sold to a new commercial owner! If you did not receive it, was probably your spam filter, or the email details previously given were out of date. As a result, I am sure many recipients were sufficiently curious to have a peak at what the fuss was about! It clearly was not that bad, as the mods would have locked or removed the two offending threads I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegwini Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I agree with you Sprogster & 5 Element, it might be a marketing ploy.Most of us are curious & have had a look at TF even if we have never posted there. IMO the quality of the posts in the one topic I looked at was not good. Not just the language either. Mostly not debates, just rudeness, and some very bossy. Something I think the Mods objected to. And there are only a few posters keeping going a topic now reaching dozens of pages, and very boring. Most repeating themselves endlessly, something OH accuses me of, but I try not to do this here !Tegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that things have gone downhill over there since FE closed, mainly because FE members have transferred in and seem pretty different from the normal TF crowd.

Patf Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The email came under the heading "TF Forum Bulletin", and as I always delete these without reading I missed it. But it's there in the "Deleted" box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sorry to disappoint you, but I know that he was banned from there some time ago.Seems rather stupid, because he was one of the few who was able to partake in a heated discussion without resorting to personal and racist insults, which seems to be the sort of conduct that the admins are objecting to at such length.

cooperlola Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I normally never read the Chatterbox board on TF - I only really post in the health section under the fhi banner. However, following the weird round robin, natch, I looked in.Kathy C, may I say I thought you held your own very well in the face of some truly outrageous posts. I salute you.[:)][B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
