Absolutely. I would feel better about the forum lists if they didn't have "top 10" in the title. That's just too limited. Today's top 10 might not be tomorrow's top 10.

Lists remind me about the good and bad things I have seen. Good to ponder and provoke. As a result of seeing some of the films mentioned on the film list I have made a list of DVDs I want to rent.

And another result of seeing some of the theatre plays people have seen is that I realise just how little money I earn being self employed which has depressed me for the day....


Top Ten Reasons to ban lists?

1. No they're not.

2. They allow us to see what others tastes are, and how they vary from or are similar to our own.

3. This may lead to us 'copping off' with them.

4. Heck maybe even settling down and raising a coupla kids.

5. It allows free rein for those endowed with the quirkiness gene.

6. Sometimes contributors take a sideways look at the subject under discussion.

7. Often with added wryness.

8. Though of course if unchecked 5, 6 and 7 may lead to zaniness.

9. And nobody wants that, do they?

10. Perhaps four pounder may be right, we should be cautious about these things.

This is in my "Top 10 Funniest Threads"



It starts and ends at this though.


The thing that bugs me most about "top 10 blah blah blah" is,


who on earth can remember 10 of anything?


I struggle if I put more than 5 types of alcoholic drinks on my shopping list... (?)


The mouthwash and floor cleaner sections usually lead me astray...

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
