When you could ask a question on 44 and get a sensible answer, now you get a lecture or a rollicking.

When members could have a laugh with each other, make slight digs, take the proverbial, now it's just downright nasty and cruel.

When people had something useful to post, now we get claptrap, self praise or just plain shit stirring.

When moderators could do their job without being harassed or ridiculed, or worse in some cases.

When people ( apart from perhaps two) had just one identity on the board.



Oh for the days of Wyn and Jock with the legend of the Larnaca donkey, the gorgeous Wackyjim, good days much missed.

hattikins,



You are so right. The voice of reason. Of course the only worse kind of person is a breathtaking hypocrite. ;)

hattikins I think its just called just getting older ..lol....



I moan because when I ask a question I get an answer I don't necessarily want



I laugh at stuff others think is stupid



useful stuff is thought claptrap from others and perhaps it is



moderators doing a job, but as in all walks of life, some one has to have a go at them...



double ids , these are all part of the internet



good old days missed by every one ...



hattikins don't be sad, at least you have sunshine every day to wake up too, where as here in GB it rains most days ...

Dizzy, I am not sad, far from it, but I just don't like the way the board is going just lately.

'Those Were the Days..' was actually a rewrite of a Russian folk-tune ....but Macca took the royalties.
