Will Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 As you may know, I have a forum about living in Normandy. I have been quite happy for it to exist alongside other France-related forums for several years, but I think it is time to regularise the arrangements so my forum enjoys the same status as some others. I seem to be missing out in some way due to the convention that seems to say that even a little-used forum like mine enjoys certain rights and influence over what can happen here.Therefore, I am asking that if anybody mentions my forum here, the owners of this site should take action. As I do not like to see censorship, I would suggest that a suitable punishment for a first offence should be a small fine, sufficient to provide me with a bottle of half-decent Gevrey Chambertin. Second offences will be punished by public flogging, and for third and subsequent offences the penalty is hanging.Should this not be acceptable to Archant, I would accept, as a substitute, an ex-gratia payment of 5000€, to be re-negotiated on 1st November annually. In return I would provide a consultancy and advisory service to their magazines on 1960s popular music, as I think I know somethaing about that, the extent of my knowledge on living in France being somewhat inadequate.Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Jonzjob Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 YOUR FORUM? Oh blimey, where do want the plonk sent Will.I didn't realise that you had a forum, oh sod it, when's the flogging. But I don't mind that so much but for crying out loud don't mention it on your forum.. GULP! now I've done it!Sod it you can only hang once, but I suppose that depends on what they hang. Will's forum, so there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I have just had a look at your forum (I stick my tounge out at your threats!!!). No good to me 'cause it don't mention anything about our doctor and not even about our village in the Aude! Might be interesting if you live a bit further North though?Do you have little message boxes on your forum Will? They do on here,,,, now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I second that and add my own proviso : If anyone mentions Wills site or LF in the same breath as myChambres D'Hôtes, I would like to inform them, that a penalty of a mealfor two at an Olivier Roellinger resto is the first penalty and furtherinfringements will mean penalties decided by the owner of : http://www.vienormande.comWhoops, sorry, will a bottle of Promocash Syrah be acceptable in this instance ........................Oh and in return I will answer questions on CFC from 1955 to the present time, as my knowledge about France is also zilch.

Dick Smith Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 But if you stipulate that we must not mention a forum that means that you are metioning a forum - or if that forums mentions other forums you are, by implication, committing multiple offences. So that a chance remark on a bright morning, sun shining, full of promise, may lead to scourging and death by the evening.And does this apply only to forums about France? I read something on a Screwfix forum that I was going to post about? And is there a forums forum where the forum people discuss forums and come up with these pan-forum agreements? Or is it all just made up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 And further to that, what is the rule when a forum not allowed tobe mentioned, does the unmentionable and disappears to whereverdisappearing forums go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Miki said :: "If anyone mentions Wills site or LF in the same breath as my Chambres D'Hôtes, I would like to inform them, that a penalty of a meal for two at an Olivier Roellinger resto is the first penalty"Does a copy/paste fit the bill (sorry Will, no ten inpunded [?]). If so you can book me a table whenever it suits you. As I'm retired I will (oh sorry, done it again) be able to go anytime. I might add that it is likely to cost you a lot 'cause I don't go for the cheep stuff on the carte. Where is it by the way, is it far from here? What time do I have to leave here to get to there for 8 'o' clock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Met an old colleague today who has bought an apartment in St Malo, but says he has never seen you there, Miki. So I told him you had a great B&B and he said he will send his MIL to you when she visits. Do I get a finder's fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Head Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Both Dick and Miki are showing post rank one.... p'raps even the software is scared of putting one above the other? I can understand Miki is retired & bored and has ample time to post, but Dick? I wonder if the taxpayers are aware what he's up to in salaried time? Maybe a call to the Head...unless you promise to help me out on the grammar with my possible chainsaw sticky thingy Dick, assuming Archant and I can come to some arrangement of course.....speaking of which I have come up with a cunning plan!

Tresco Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Let me give you a clue, Chris. I think he's had about three seconds 'off' work in the last 5 months. The odds, my friend, are against you on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hey no prob Tresc, I'm used to coming through stuff when the odds don't weigh up. He's probably kipping through sheer boredom as we speak eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
