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.

    • I'm a bit of an architecture geek and I must confess I find it one of the most gimmicky ugly redesigns I've seen in a while. I'm always open to quirky but this is just not nice in any way shape or form.
    • "A user named Daniel added: "Give your staff time off you ghouls." Surrey business hopscotchshoeboutique chimed in with: "I really think for one day of the year the staff should have a day off."" https://uk.news.yahoo.com/gails-bakery-reveals-controversial-christmas-135155096.html
    • Another recommendation for Niko. Great communication, top guy, and super reliable and skilled - all at a fair price. Takes a lot of care in what he does and talks you through everything. 
    • 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.
