Well think this proves that is not a good idea to allow members to RR threads ... obviously they like being monitor a bit too much ...

Without being reported, threads are disappearing, such as Mersey's book one:

There must be a glitch - after all the OP on Hayley's make-up and Andrew's popcorn threads were RR'd, and no action either way has been taken.

Well, hopefully its a glitch. There was nothing wrong about Eldrick's as a stand alone satirical story, and who could disapprove of Mersey's?

Didn't someone say there was a new member of staff coming in to moderate.

It may be that he or she has been left on own over weekend. It was a bit fraught on Friday evening with the ###### and then the poster who must be anonymous being banned.

A bit like being a referee of MKDons vs Wimbledon AFC.

Perhaps be sorted in morning when others get back to office??

Just think about who may have RR'd Eldrick's thread. It's not exactly rocket science - and envy takes a large part :-(

With a bit of luck, he's saved a copy and can repost. We can but hope!

And how do you know what time they went up if you never saw them ?

FGS I had read them both to OH who was chuckling as much as me.

Please Eldrick do carry on with them.

Adoring fan in the Valleys :-D

FGS, leave it purleese. 4 months is a marathon of clever quips, aivlyS.

I came in about 8pm, had my supper, chatted, looked at threads. Looked a bit surprised. Then realised more threads had been zapped and peeps were talking about Eldrick Parts 1 & 2. I assumed those threads had been put up and lost between about 4pm and 8pm.

Yes, I missed them and love to read anything by Eldrick. Like most, I enjoy his posts (genuinely sincere face)

clever quips? well that is rather better than the stuff you have posted about me ............and you are the only one protesting that you was out ..lol

JustJohn Report 3 Dec 2012 10:26

Perhaps somebody could enlighten me what Eldrick posted in Parts 1 and 2.

I was deep into Advent last evening and a rather difficult passage from Luke Chapter 21 (verses 20-36) at the time. But I love to read Eldrick - even if not always to my Christian tastes. ;-)
