Okay. So we have four weeks of madness.

It's ok though, Mox and Aretina...it's only May:winki:

Whilst The Forum Strike was on, we had visitors. I made tea, coffee, put Hob Nobs on plates (instead of the packet), looked at photos of their children, cooked breakfast, lunch, dinner, took them shopping, dancing, sundbathing... Collected them from the airport, took them back to the airport, cleaned their room, laughed at their funny stories...

Now, you may think. So what. SO WHAT! The porking International Forum Strike was on, THAT'S WHAT! and I had more important celery sticks to roast.

Unfortunately, my (good) friends did not understand why a virutal community would go on strike:wideeyed: and showed disappointingly little interest.

So, on my tenth coffee making run to the kitchen, I grabbed my laptop and pretended to go to the bathroom.

I POSTED, AGENT HAMMY'S FOURTH REPORT FROM THE LOO!:laughs:

My name is Persephone and I am a Forum addict.:eeeek:

Dont worry too much guys, maybe we will all turn veggie by then.
Its the dressing you see and how they phrase it.
When Michael O'Leary got rid off reclining seats on RyanAir he said it was by "popular demand"... cos in ashareholders mag they had a little survey, one question was
"Does it annoy you when you get a cup of coffee served just as the person in front reclines their seat" course EVERYONE voted yes.... ergo reclining seats were discontinued (to save money) and it was by "popular demand"
same went for seat pockets "does it annoy you when you put your glasses/magazine/paper in the seat pocket just to find that the last passenger left a dirty tissue or sticky sweet in it?"
ergo... seat pockets went because people"voted" them to go. Power to the people !!!!
If you read all the bumpf on the "New" post there is an awful lot written between the lines, that can be interpretated slightly ominously.... maybe I am wrong, but in the meantime..
Gobble-Gobble :laughs:
