Another user that hasn't been mentioned is Methuselas, I miss that guy, I seemed to really connect with him.

D'you remember a few months back when he posted on here because his life had all gone tits up - people close to him very ill etc. I did try emailing him a couple of months back, I do hope he's doing okay.

Yes, another guy to add to a long list of absentees. However, at least it seems a few people have posted. Perhaps he'll pop along.

I really must write that old-timer's manifesto :lol:

Just earwax...

Come on, like you've never tried it :lol:

Can't say I have, remind me to put it on my "Things to do before I die" list :-D

I'm touched that you feel so strongly about tasting my earwax before you die to have me remind you :-D

I used to think that earwax was uniquely revolting, but I was proved wrong when I started my student training in the gastro X-ray department.
As part of our initiation we were told to sample all the contrast media (basically anything that can be injected/introduced into the body, and which shows up on X-rays). This means all the barium-based stuff as well as the oily and water-soluble iodine media.
And that is the day I discovered the worst one ever. It is a product called Hexabrix and it is exactly like earwax. Imagine having to drink 20ml of that! I only tried a few mls and I wanted to spew. It is guaranteed to make anyone's face screw up like a cat's anus.

Say it with Easton bars!  How romantic!

BTW, speaking of old threads, remember the speculation as to what Blob carries in her handbag?  

Must... resist... search... tool...

Well, I held out for all of five minutes...

You should all use pictures of yourself sporting a thinking cap, faces set in theatrically over-exaggerated deep contemplation as your avatars. Not only will you look intelligent and suave but....

....what do you mean you'd look like a nonce?

Your sig should read:

I work for Social Services, and one of my colleagues maintain's the county Child Protection register. He told me that people get really angry if you bandy the term 'nonce' around...strange that, as I'm sure I've heard the same people using the words 'sicko', 'pervert', etc.
[These are people who actually get to hear the details of what people put on the register have actually done, so its not THAT surprising!]

Oh, perhaps I should get on topic...another user I miss is Bjjones - he wasn't and old timer, but a guy who was capable of really thoughtful and intelligent conversation.
