He has a point though.


I'm happy everyone's enjoying themselves, but it just means non word-game or toptenlist related threads plummet out of sight in no time.

Plus I think my 'mark all threads as red' link is actually turning a light blue as it wears out with use.

Top ten new rooms I would like to see on the forum


1 family ties (as per polly's brioche dans la four thread)

3 the cominterns (lounging for class war)

4 the drawing room (serious discussions with greater moderation)

5 the play room (word games and topten lists)

It does read as grumpy old man doesn't it? I don't mean it to be - I enjoy it as much as the next man/woman


But as Piers says, the sheer volume of contributions mean some good non-game stuff gets lost along the way


It's not just Hangman - there are several threads now which encourage continuous one-liner stuff and as I say I'm not against them but maybe a bit of re-ordering is due?


and my facEDbook pun got all of the non-attention it deserved I see ;-)

So, we have;


ED Issues/Gossip.

Wanted Offered Recommended

What's on / Forum Clubs and socials

General non ED related chit chat

Family issues and lost cats

Games room


I agree with Georgia about these threads getting lost, but I think it could easily be combined with the whats on section, if it was made clear in the title.

    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
