Not cheering. I'm not that vain. Frankly I'm not that worth it.

But I do allow the voices in my head degrees of applause. Hand clappping-wise that is.

On a scale of one to ten, one would be, forearms resting on thighs, with upper fingers tapping together, the sort of clapping that is actually rude. Really, better you sucked your thumbs.

Ten is arms above your head, smashing your hands together, over and over until you have no feeling left in them. A casual glance at your nails and you see they're starting to turn somewhat blue.

But you just don't care and keep clapping anyway.


For me a two and a half would be when unexpectedly, Channel Five show a good episode of 'Columbo' on a Monday afternoon off.

Especially that one with Johnny Cash, or the one where that obvious looking 'baddy smoothy bloke' drowned that woman who I think appeared on 'Moonlighting', though I could be wrong.

So you see I have high standards.

A ten applause can only be applied, if, when Mott The Hoople appear on stage on 1/10/2009 at The Hammersmith Apollo they open with the opening lines of 'American Pie' and then BLAST into 'The Golden Age Of Rock 'n' Roll'.

You can insert another ten, here of course. You'd be wrong of course.

And the volume of the smattering of 'one' would be as two shy mice exchanging wedding vows. In sign language.

    • I think the thread title is a bit overdramatic there’s thousands of CICs in the UK.  Hopefully, I don’t sound naive when I say that sometimes this sort of set up is a way to reach hard to reach people without the bureaucracy of more formal organisations.
    • https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14349080 Doesn't add much. No accounts. Possibly genuine. Possibly the hard-done-to veterans are themselves
    • We have a place and a date for the first (and hopefully not the last) reborn ED Forum drinks! We have booked tables at The Palmerston on Wednesday 11 June at 7pm, in the area by the window on the left as you come in. It would be very helpful to us (and particularly the pub) if you could PM us in good time if you intend to come, so that we are not reserving tables which won't be used. We will provide labels and pens  for those who would like to use them - definitely not compulsory! Any comments or queries, please post them here or PM me!
