Worrying: Kiss of Death?
 
Before I created this thread I find I was the last poster on the most recently updated four threads, with another three towards the bottom of the page.

Am I the kiss of death for some topics? If so will someone please tell me so I will know to keep my comments to myself.

Malcolm G 21st December 2017 09:32

There are a few of us around - welcome to the club :kiss::jump:

Makko 21st December 2017 17:41

Me too in many cases!

erimus 21st December 2017 17:56

There is an art forum where my name appears all too often as the closer of the thread....so join the club amigo.

geoff

BobClay 21st December 2017 18:20

I've heard you artistic types go around kissing things …..:big_tongue: :sweat:

Farmer John 21st December 2017 18:27

I have noticed a similar effect, I have put it down to my unanswerable intellect.

Dartskipper 21st December 2017 18:55

This is an interesting topic. A thread about the last posters who kill a thread dead in its tracks.

This one could run and run........:sweat:

That thought did occur to me even as I typed my response to the unanswerable. :confused:

Naytikos 21st December 2017 19:52

I'm so glad to find I'm not alone........!

BobClay 21st December 2017 19:52

I've already kissed my monitor five times, and got 10,000 volts for my efforts :eek: (I'm thinking old fashioned monitor here …. ) :sweat:

You didn't think you'd get away with slipping that comment in did you?

John Rogers 21st December 2017 20:17

I have thought to give myself the Handle "Thread Ender" myself.

BobClay 21st December 2017 21:12

Something tells me that there's a Zeno's Paradox lurking about on this thread now … :bye:

Tom Alexander 22nd December 2017 07:20

I always want the last word in any discussion! :king:

Dartskipper 22nd December 2017 10:12

Well, Tom, you can't....:big_tongue:

Farmer John 22nd December 2017 10:38

We all will have our say...

I suggest a moderator closes this thread before it descends into a "last man alive" scenario, with member stalking member through the bars of the world.

Roger B 22nd December 2017 11:04

I'll be standing by in the Coach and Horses, Harrogate. Cheers Roger

BobClay 22nd December 2017 12:40

._. … .._ . . (always like to get the last dit in …) :chuckle:

Naytikos 22nd December 2017 15:54

What have I started?????

Right, that's one within striking distance.

A word of warning, one forum I frequented, somebody posted and changed their mind, title of post "Don't reply to this". It went mad, I got the last post in about 2 days later as number 1500.

BobClay 22nd December 2017 18:25

( ♫ whistle ........ whistle ♪ ... oops, sorry, posted this by mistake.)

Can't agree with that Geof!!

Dave McGouldrick 23rd December 2017 16:48

ABout 6 hours since anyone posted - guess this'll be the last (?)

Farmer John 23rd December 2017 16:56

I am finely poised to pounce...

Malcolm G 23rd December 2017 17:06

Patience, patience....

Naytikos 24th December 2017 06:24

Where is Harrogate?

Malcolm G 24th December 2017 09:48

Arragate?
Up Norffe somewhere.

Ahh, I spot a bit of thread drift... that could be good... maybe.

BobClay 24th December 2017 14:03

I'm sending this from the Robin Hood pub in Stourbridge (near Peaky Blinders country.)

Not a bad pub. No bouncers observable.

(The heads on spikes outside the door might have something to do with that :eek: )

It's a Spa Town North of Leeds not far from Mother shiptons well at Knaresborough. They say that if you enter Harrogate and seem to look like you are short of money or look in anyway dodgy, you will be escorted to the boundaries and told to go elsewhere. :jester:

I have passed quickly through it many times and never been ejected, their standards can't be that high.

Hardly.....been 10 years since last visit..used to booze with some senior police officers,meant that no problem anyone getting stopped!

Malcolm G 24th December 2017 16:55

Just a thought - When I said 'UP Norffe' that presupposes an up and a down. Being as the earth is flat then it must therefore be hanging in the vertical rather than horizontal. Otherwise it would be 'along' rather than 'up', or 'down'.
Obviously we must make an exception for the Antipodeans - They really are down unless you live there then we are down relatively, even though we are up.

Dartskipper 24th December 2017 19:25

I thought the antipodeans lived underneath the Earth. Otherwise, if you start digging a hole, they won't be there to greet you when you come out on the other side. No?

Malcolm G 24th December 2017 19:53

Yes, but they are down when North is not up but along. Up must be this side and down is that side unless you live in Australia then we are down in relation them but still up, as in on top.
If you live in New Zealand it doesn't seem to matter either way.

Dartskipper 24th December 2017 20:51

So where does that locate our Sooth Efrikan friends? Equably midway along the Equator? (Wherever that is.)

Malcolm G 24th December 2017 20:57

But they are not proper antipodeans - Part of Africa is on this side of the world, so they can't be on the other side.

Same-same our friends in Chile.
Argentina doesn't count - they can just go away and suit themselves, which they probably will.

Farmer John 24th December 2017 23:21

You folks think too big. Anything you can't see doesn't really exist till you get there
