General Chat

Too true John, I just couldn't understand it. Just as well no-one came from Effin :-D :-D :-D

Thanks Joy, just had look at that and although it isn't the thread I'm thinking of, if we can use links to other sites it seems a bit daft to use asterisks

This, Island? - http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards/board/suggestions/thread/1267253

No, it wasn't hyperlinks Joy, it was specifically about naming other sites

Time for your horlics I think :-D

edit 'John' LOL

Island - about hyperlinks? - 'twas I :)

I can see nothing wrong in aint, bags and whales.

Aint - slang but we all use it
Bags - derisory term for Essex girls, but acceptable today
Whales. A young lady was asked if she had read Moby Dick. No, I don't like anything too sexy. Its not about sex, it is about whales. "I don't like Wales or the Welsh either" :-( :-(

I remember the days when I tried to say I'd been using a paint scraper - and the thread wouldn't post!!
You also couldnt mention Scunthorpe, or bum bags, sperm whales were a 'no-no' - you get the picture - it would have been hilarious if it hadn't been so sad.

Joy, someone from GR posted on the subject on 'suggestions' soon after the board was first up, if I remember rightly - it's strange what sticks to the memory file LOL :-D

We can post all sorts of things here now that we couldn't once upon a time. For instance, instead of http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ we used to type

BRB can't remember :-S :-)


Edited:
I think it was something like www(.)bbc(.)co(.)uk/news/

(I think).

Well Annx I have never been sp*mmed. Sure t*t*er is not allowed on here , unless you refer to a giggle.

I was writing to a friend in Cote d'Ivoire tonight about this spa*mming and she agrees totally that it should never happen. Apparently she has £12m that she wants to transfer......

Is this the reason? I know it's iro T*itter ( ;-)) here. lol.

I do not know,

Genes reunited staff have stated that other genealogical sites may be mentioned provided that we do not discuss certain aspects of them, such as special offers of subscriptions, and that we do not describe them as being better than genes reunited.

Ahhh, Tescos. Now I worked for them in management positions for over 21 years and I would just like to tell you about ...........(oh, ok) :-( :-( :-(

Tescos...............there, i said it! :-D

ALWAYS HAD TO USE PRETTY STARS

************

'They' have said they don't mind other sites being mentioned as long as we don't say the other sites are much better and make derogatory comments about GR - or words to that effect


edit. I wondered what that buzzy noise was. Dash those vacuum cleaners. :-D

Pops onto thread with my Hoover to get rid of all those *****s

Oops, sorry, slap me wrist . . . vacuum cleaner :-D

Perhaps G****s R*u****ted are too sensitive :-S

It's not the posters it's GR that don't like advertising other Genealogy sites.
