Recent Status Updates

[Happy Jack]

So ... what's that all about then?

Now exists as a sort of parallel mini-forum where people post Items Wanted ads, questions about effects pedals, comments about equipment, etc.

I have no interest in being informed of what people had for breakfast or how they're feeling this morning (although I do look forward to the latest update from Les and his curious determination to spell doner kebab with two 'n's) but surely almost all the tosh that turns up in Recent Status Updates is neither related to status nor an update?

We get them removed as soon as soon as possible, if they are wanted/selling type updates Jack.

More kebab updates please! Always makes me smile...

I get all my friends breakfast info from facebook...

I posted there recently as I had seen something which was not quite new-threadworthy and didn't fit in any existing threads.


I fear for Les' arteries! To be fair, "donner" is forgivable as it is pronounced that way*


* aka bugger I thought it was spelled that way too

Food posts are rubbish. I give people one chance - any more after that and they get all of their content hidden. Except my mum - I tolerate her posts for the greater good.

Since signing up last year for the first time, after an initial flurry of interest I've slowly unfollowed pretty much everyone except members of my family... Friends get one whinging political post then there on the unfollow list

It's also a German word, which I assumed was Les's clever way of describing his diets after-effects.

Doner, donner? Both wrong, it's döner!

Nope it's poodle.

More worrying when your local takeaway's menu actually advertises "Donor Kebab".

Ah yes, that's when you want someone to enjoy the gift of your kebab after your death.

Are you absolutely sure that's not "[i]Donkey[/i]-bab"..

[Number6]

What if their current status is "I really want to buy a 5 string whatever bass" ?

That could indeed be a status but it could also be a wanted add.....
