Drawing Room - Yay or Nay?

[Brendan]

It?s only just started to make any sense at all.

[HAL9000]

Just you wait, if it continues at this rate it's bound to split off into an alternative universe where the Copenhagen Interpretation is ditched for the East Dulwich Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and we'll be rich and famous while the lounge lizards are left holding their dicks :)

Hal, can you keep the Steven Hawking rhubarb to the drawing room please. It's starting to give the secondary modern kids a headache.

[HAL9000]

We could do with the likes of you over there to lighten things up a bit. No one is immune to rhubarb-induced headaches.

And that sums the drawing room's dilemma up

[Keef]

Ha ha, exactly.

[bigbadwolf]

Due to the absence of a question mark at the end of your last post Quids I'll take that as a compliment.

[????]

Oh BBW Seriouely is there no end to your Ego?????

I meant the general sentiment, not YOU YOU YOU......sorry

[bigbadwolf]

Oh don't apologise Quids. I don't blame you for leaving out the question mark. I'll treat it as an early birthday present.

So, what you're saying is less rhubarb and more custard pies?

BBW - you are quiet tonight - get back in the mix. Never take a criticism to heart. Get posting.

What dilemma? There is no dilemma.

It's simple really. The Forum is for everyone to give their tuppence-worth on any subject, whatever the mood - informative, witty, sarcastic, serious etc - and the categories for you to express yourself have recently been increased.

If I thought The Drawing Room was elitist I wouldn't go there. If someone knows more about a topic than me (or pretends to) I'll learn from them or ignore them.

The 20 or so people on this thread, as witty and vocal as you are, are not self-appointed representatives of the Forum as a whole. Join in or shut up. Simple.

so we can post what we think...or we have to shut up?...make your mind up

[silverfox]

Post/shut up? Post/shut up? Post/shut up? Oh, what a dilemma

The reality of The Drawing room

[Ladymuck]

Well, having at first used the Drawing Room for the purpose of annoying those who are cleverer than myself by posting silly one-liners, I have to say that, having discovered some really interesting threads, I am now a fan. Also, I like the way the "Chair" sits back and only really intervenes where absolutely necessary.

[bigbadwolf]

I enjoy the fact that on some (if most) days the about section see's more action than the drawing room. More entertaining in most cases as well.

[Huguenot]

Well, we can't all gambol in the daisies like you BBW.

[bigbadwolf]

Well I'd actually like to make one serious contribution on the University thread as it happens Huguenot. Apart from that you're welcome to it.

[Huguenot]

Ah, are you excluded? I can understand your ire, but one can't have all the riff raff in. ;-)

[mockney piers]

Try PMing the chair with your message and maybe he'll post it on your behalf?

[Moos]

Thought I'd resurrect this thread... I've really enjoyed the thriving discussions in the Drawing Room recently. It took a while to find its feet, but I'd vote it a success.

What does everyone think?

Sorry, I'm interrupting which is rude, but I have just started reading this thread, or possibly re-reading as my memory is shot to pieces, and I am on about page one :) and I just so agree with Moos' post I had to say so.

Apologies again - as you were :)

[Ann]

I don't post there much at all but definitely keep it going. At least you know a thread is kept on topic.

Some topics are worth discussing.
