3031 An Invitation......

For too long now, the forum has descended into the virtual equivalent of so many ferrets fighting in a sack. This is not good.

So, in order to bring order to a chaotic world, I'd like to invite you all into the Temple of Castor and Pollux (just near the Temple of Vesta) in the Forum, for the first in a series of interactive workshops on how to play nicely, and be helpful, as I'm sure you all want to be. :)

Light refreshments will be served. ;)

Mr Stodge, I have booked you in for a series of anger management workshops. Fourteen to start with...we'll have to check your progress after that...:)

To make you more comfortable, here is your specially designed jacket...it has extra long arms, and attactive tie ends...sorry about the colour, they only do them in white...but don't worry, you can still wear your poncho over the top;)

Where ya been stodge? missed ya! :D

I have been in Switzerland breathing the clean, clear air of righteousness and all-knowingness.

I have just emerged from one ofTink's sessions and he has tought me a trick or two: Here's one: the next time a moderator pulls you up for calling a fellow forumista a liar you MUST apologise immediately and the form of words Tink's suggests is: I called him/her a liar it is true and for that I am sorry - best typed without any punctuation.

:) :)

Stodge..

If you are intent on keeping Alienas 2 smiling faces.. I shall have no option but to provide you with a severe beating. You may choose my weapon of your destruction..

Which do you prefer.. smack in the gob with a flip flip.. or a jig on hot coals?

:) :)

Aliena dear, do you think that the sisters will allow you out of the Templum Vestae to attend my special workshop "Duplicious use of the stiletto in a non-confrontational way" workshop?

I do hope so :) Until then, keep the home fires burning ;)

Tinks..

The only Vesta I know fights fire with fire.. to do anything less would be virgin on the ridiculous.

However, as I have no sisterhood to restrain me.. I may observe from astride the wings of my noble steed to ensure your teachings are correct.

Do call upon me for further guidance should you decide to venture into the arena at any time. :D

:) :)

Al, you and the charlies are invited to my next seminar, "Blood suckers and the legal AIDS pandemic - a guide for the totally witless" which is about to start in room Pollux 1....;)

Entrance is charged on a sliding scale according to perceived ability to pay :)

Tinks or Trulli, I have for ages been trying to put my profile picture up, please could you tell me how to do it.... thankyou and sorry to go off thread!!!!!!!:) Francesca

Its called an Avatar. Go into edit and upload. Not all idiots can do this, though, it seems ;)

Tinks..

This is true.. only some idiots can do it! :D :D

:) :)

Si, certo, everything that I say is true...:)

...which brings me to mention my new workshop...."How to pinpoint the truth in a sea of lies whilst not getting entangled in a web of mixed metaphors"

...there should be a lively discussion...and some Swiss roll playing..;)

Look Tinks..

It's easy.. go to Italy.. find a house.. if you really cant live without it.. buy the bloody thing.. or die!

:) :)

You evil callous woman...its not so easy as buy or die...the problem is that some people are forced into buying by things said to them by unscruplous go betweens..... and then suffer a slow lingering death.....in poverty so bad that they can't even afford a leech, sorry lawyer..

....now, would you like a slice of cake? :) ;)

Stuff the cake.. I'm off to pick a lock and have a bloomin' good fight.

Seconds out! Let battle commence! :D

:) :)

Gladiators belong in the colloseum, not the forum:)

The Forum is a place of gentility and good humour ;)

Of course good humour... have you got any idea of what bad humours do to your body??

Those medieval shrinks had it all sussed out... here come the leeches! :eek:

Tinks, put ya gentilitia away! Not nice on public forum. ;)

Trulli,

As you know, the answer to most things is "balls" :)

Its not my fault if Notaio was cheating when he was keeping the scores in the quiz...

...it's an occupational hazaard ;)
