Damn Spider pig

It was very funny and it amused me greatly. Who new Richard Simmonds was so very camp...

I feel a bit mean for posting like this in three different places, but...

If you are actually drunk, stoned or high, advertising it is fairly tedious to everyone else. I recommend posting only when sober, to be honest. If you are [i:33a46bf96b]not[/i:33a46bf96b] actually drunk, stoned or high, please don't post as though you are.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

I disagree. Some of the best threads/posts in my memory have been posted by some of our drunken members (maybe me). The moral is it doesn't matter if your high or drunk, as long as you make for posts funny/interesting.

true. i made some brilliant posts while stoned off my ass several years ago.

the lesson is: do not post crap. if it's pointless and annoying and crap? don't post it.

"If I wanted to read Wuthering Heights, I'd shoot my self."

Sorry Grace, this wasn't meant to be annoying, and stoned was rather the wrong word for it, as I eventually managed to explain elsewhere, it was more the medecine making me feel rather weird... by the time I posted the message in question, it was more or less over, but as being "stoned" seemed to fit the stupidity of what I was going to post, I went with the joke. I'm not exactly tolerant with drunk or stoned people myself, so I do apologize if this annoyed you.

I'm afraid I'm just plain silly (oh, ok, I'm silly in a special way of my own, but silly all the same), the main drawback being that it doesn't wear off, and I still get hangovers. On the up-side, I don't wake up in strange places with strange people (unless I choose to) and throw up over people.

Damn Spider pig

Katcal, apology accepted, and sorry if I was unnecessarily stroppy.

I think now would be an appropriate time to discuss two topics. First, posting while drunk or stoned.

Rinso, some highly memorable posts have been made by drunken board members, but I have rarely found them funny. A notable exception would be Garner, who used to regularly post while drunk or stoned - the difference being that he was drunk or stoned so often, and could handle it so well, that there was virtually no difference from when he was sober, except that his sober posts were usually more depressing. Which is kind of depressing in itself, if you think about it.

Aside from that, you may have found drunken posts amusing, but I have found them irritating, even when the person making the post is a good friend. I feel that, if you must be online while out of your head, it would be better to keep it on MSN or AIM where people can avoid talking to you if they want to. Now, it may be that I'm absolutely in the minority here. If I'm the only board member who finds drunken/stoned posts irritating and antisocial, then I'll just bite my tongue - but I'd like to hear some other opinions.

For the record, Katcal, I understand that you were not truly stoned, only being silly. But that leads me to my next point.

Katcal, you're a likeable person, but it would be nice if we could see the serious side of you more often. Silliness is fun in moderation, but not as a permanent feature. Even Doormen get asked to cut down on the flipping piss jokes when they're making them in every thread. Nor do serious posts have to be mitigated (perhaps ruined by?) a quip or 'humorous' comment at the end.

I'm not saying that we must always be po-faced and never make jokes, but hyperactive tomfoolery gets annoying VERY quickly. I know I'm not alone in asking for some temperance. Thanks.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.
