I'm pretty laid back myself unless some complete tool spells an English word with its US spelling.

I think that may have gone over a lot of people's heads.

Very good. 10/10.

Come back Fumps and Shergold Snickers..all is forgiven....although we still have Skank to keep us (in)sane!

[mikel]

I love a good laugh on here but some people, no names no pack drill, insist on turning threads into serious discussions. Its very wearing.

[Spoombung]

There's only one funny person on the entire forum.

Well...
Dunning got it.
Kruger got it too.
I got it, and I honestly think most people got it.

As above really there used to be some really funny people on the forum and you could always crack a joke but now some people seem so grumpy and just seem to want a row sign of the times? OK rant over lol

It's a long time since I've done any rowing but I do remember it as good exercise, though falling in the river could ruin your day.

I've been thinking this for a wee while too. I've only recently come back after a few years away and the vibe has definitely changed. Tend to mostly just browse now as a few recent posts/jokes have started tiresome arguments which I'm not interested in.

Aw,that's such a shame. Can't we tempt you with just a £5 tiff..? The £15 barney is on special offer, too, and offers really good value. I can see that the full-out £50 row could be beyond many BCer's pocket, but a little effort now and again would so help site funds.

With the right preperation I could be in the market for a barney. I'll be sure to make reservations nearer the time

Yeah, I've pretty much given up trying to be funny on here any more. Been shot down by too many grumpy gits.
I still have the odd burst of levity if I'm feeling particularly flighty though.

[TheGreek]

Irony seems to be popular here but some just don't get it unless (even if?) there's a smiley following it....

I'm surprised more people didn't get it, it was fairly obvious.

No one said anything.

In fairness, the very next post used the US spelling of surprised (can't bring myself to repeat it!).

That's exactly why I thought it had been missed.

Lack of visible response does not necessarily equal lack of appreciation.
In this case however, Discreet had already visibly responded funnily to Steve Browning's funny remark - - and just three minutes after Steve posted it. Normally one doesn't indulge in everyone smiling at the same joke. BC would become impossible to read if we did.


Then there's the dynamics (and timing!) of threads and what grabs our attention:
Steve writes something funny. Everyone except Spoombung smiles and then reads on whilst being open to the possibility of posting appreciatingly.

Discreet this time is Baking Pancakes of the Third Kind, and not reading BC. Somebody posts something that "requires" a response, and one indulges in writing that response instead of acknowledging Steve's funniness. Simples.
