I can't pinpoint the exact the origins of this perniciously infectious means of agreeing with someone else's post and - as you know - I'm not one to wilfully put my head above the parapet, but I'd just like to suggest that it carries with it all the style of catching sight of your uncle dancing at a wedding (with a tie on his head) just at the moment that he raises his eyebrows as far up as they go, puts two thumbs up (at 45 degree angles) and says 'skill' with a gormless expression on his face.


Please make it stop. You know who you are.

I think you'll find* that I identified 'The Keef Convention: saying "What X said" in agreement to a previous post' in my very brilliant but under-responded-to thread Conventions of the EDF in About This Forum.


So ner, it's official, and I'm going to keep doing it. And just look at these super-spiffing persons all upping their thumbs, what a marvellously positive and cheering activity it is! Many of them seem as though they could be uncles, and hurrah for them.

*Isn't 'I think you'll find' an incredibly aggressive and unpleasant way to say a perfectly ordinary thing? It should never be used by persons of taste.

This speaks for the rest of us.

    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd.
