Yes it does...a lunar phases.

It depends on the moon as to when the loonies start posting again


Welcome back Slinks, by the way.:p:D

Re: have you noticed
 

Any sign of Tinkerbelle yet? :)

Re: have you noticed
 

Re: have you noticed
 

well have no fear....cashys here.:D

Re: have you noticed
 

Define 'loonies'.............A list would be nice?

Re: have you noticed
 

Err...it's what we humans call a joke.;)

Re: have you noticed
 

Does'nt come across as funny.
People who know you will probably interpret the joke as such, people who don't know you would probably think 'Who is this guy?' and who are the 'Loonies'

Re: have you noticed
 

No wonder we stopped greeting people with phrases like "Welcome to the madhouse" :rolleyes:

Re: have you noticed
 

I coundn't give a flying fig. I care not what people think.:)


To me, there are much more important things happening in the world, than if some literally witless person, doesn't have the wit to understand what passes for humour.:)

Re: have you noticed
 

I think that probably sums you up.

Re: have you noticed
 

I suppose it does. Independent, yet with a caring side for those in the world less fortunate, all topped up with the gift of a sense humour.

Nice we agree on something.:)

Re: have you noticed
 

Garinda = humour = :)

RoyBoy = grouchy = :(

Now which do you think is more likely to put people off a forum? (answers on a postcard please to Willow, c/o soggy field, Morecambe Bay.) ;)

Re: have you noticed
 

I think you can put your name in the frame Willow.......Same old senario........Kick one they all limp.

Re: have you noticed
 

Same old scenario...have a bit of fun, and only one moans.

Re: have you noticed
 

Now that's funny :D

Re: have you noticed
 

Roy - just ease up please

Re: have you noticed
 

Margaret, whether it's me or anyone else past or present are referred to as 'Loonies' and to be called witless personally deserves a serious reply.
The aside from Willow dubbing me 'Grumpy' is also a bit rich.
Hopefully I am on this forum to stay and may get used to the 'Sarky' and 'Funny' comments by our fellow members but I think that I too am entitled to an opinion without being shouted down.

Re: have you noticed
 

All of us have 'grumpy days' at times - just some seem to have them more often than most. You have been here a while now and some of your threads have been interesting and informative.
I have noticed that you do tend to target Garinda with criticism more than others, this is beginning to look like a vendetta - so in the interests of 'a happy forum' - please ease off.

Re: have you noticed
 

Right, let me explain my post, though as always jokes that need a long winded explanation are invariably not funny.

Button's Mum said that Accy Web goes in phases, in reply to one member's question as to why he thought the forum was quiet. I agree with this point. Sometimes the forum is quieter for whatever reasons, be it holidays, or that there might not be any threads that inspire people to post. I've been a member for two and a half years, and this is what I've found to be true.

It was a strange thing to ask, particularly yesterday I thought, as there was an interesting thread about passports, which saw the return of AccyMel and Slinky, after not posting much for a while, even our M.P. Greg Pope popped on to post in the thread.

My jibe about people posting being connected to the lunar calendar was a joke. Although it's been proved that the moon's cycle can affect mood, I don't really accept the idea that it changes people into mouth foaming lunatics.

I cheekily used that post to welcome back Slinky. If anyone deserved to be offended, that I was by association calling her a lunatic, it was her. As someone who has a sense of humour, I know she wouldn't be hurt by the joke.

For some people to be so paranoid that they think every post is aimed at them, is quite sad and delusional. For one thing the person who has taken offence has been posting recently, therefore my lunatic comment wasn't aimed at them, but the missing members.

I guess I'm just well asnd truly blessed, unlike others, that God gave me a sense of humour.

Praise be...as Thora Hird would have said.:)

Re: have you noticed
 

I've always had my knockers, one more makes no difference, especially a droopy, dried up, saggy one.:D

Re: have you noticed
 

Let's call it tit for tat..........see I have a sense of humour:Banane22:

Re: have you noticed
 

Bagsy Tat, which leaves you the...


:D

Re: have you noticed
 

I would probably be banned if I gave an adequate reply to that. :rolleyes:

Re: have you noticed
 

:) - see that, it's a smile. It means I'm being pleasant so please take this in the way I am writing it Royboy.

When I posted the interesting thread about the relative sizes of planets you assumed it was meant as criticism of you when you were about as far from my mind as it's possible to get at the time.

When Rindy posted about loonies I took it as referring to us AccyWebbers en masse, in general, because we often refer to ourselves as that (as in when we sometimes welcome newbies to the 'loonie bin'). We laugh at ourselves, and why not - somebody has to. It didn't strike me as being an insult to anyone at all.

Please do try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Most of the time they deserve it. Yes I did say you were grumpy but that was only because you were, at that point, being somewhat grumpy. When someone is grumpy others often react back in a grumpy manner and mountains are created where not even molehills had previously existed.

If you stop looking for personal insults in everything anyone else says then other people will probably stop being ratty with you and you'll realise that we all human after all (well, apart from Garinda with that avatar - not sure what he is at the moment, and Less is a vampire but we don't talk about that much) ;)

Re: have you noticed
 

OK....I will back off and consider my wrist well and truly smacked.
I am not ready to join the Rindy fan club just yet though.

Re: have you noticed
 

Only paid up members of the fan club call me Rindy, for the rest Garinda is the correct term of address, or even just Sir.;)

Re: have you noticed
 

I didn't pay Rindy, you said you would slap me if I didn't join :rolleyes:

Re: have you noticed
 

I don't recall paying either :D

Re: have you noticed
 

Actually I knew it was pointed at me, and I'm deeply upset about it. This is the reason I wasn't on last evening........ ( absolutely nothing to do with being stuck in my HARRY POTTER book til 4:30am this morning ) :D:p

















Hey I finished it though................wow great book!!!

Re: have you noticed
 

Whenever I see the term "loony" on here, I immediately think of the Monty Python skits when they used it. Quite tame when used on Accyweb (IMO).

Royboy, stick with it. You'll eventually see and get used to (Though no need to agree or accept), the many various folks that make up the Accy family.

Cheers All!

Brian

Re: have you noticed
 

LYY still speaks to me even after meeting me!!! :D:D:D

Re: have you noticed
 

I always said he was a very tolerant man :D

Re: have you noticed
 

Thanks slinks!!!! :D You still speak to me though and Mick still speaks to me and is bringing me a pressie to the meet!!! :D By the way wheres your sister?

Re: have you noticed
 

I'll give you a clue it has 2 words, first word S, second L......... wont take you long to suss out where she is.

Re: have you noticed
 

I bet she's a millionairess now. That world wide chain of virtual 'massage' parlours must be raking it in!:D

Re: have you noticed
 

So that's what people mean when they keep telling others to get a life :D

Re: have you noticed
 

Yeah, but I do trust you (and now the Spugster) shall be prepared for the "warm American welcome" that I'll be giving you on my return! (Just have to think of something that will out do yours):eek:

Aye, and upon first dealing with a few of the Accy family, I equalled them to evil Step-Brothers. However, after ~6 months getting used to the banter, now see many of them as good friends.

To tell ya the truth, I rather enjoy a good verbal joust between Accywebbers. What a witty group here. Late at night after some imbibing is best. Boy could Mancie, Chav and Rindy go at it! And remember how the old grumpster, Hatter, and others could stir up a hornets nest on here?

Re: have you noticed
 

Shame on you LYY you said the H word! :eek:

Re: have you noticed
 

he still comes on willow - early hours of the morning when decent people are in bed!!! :D:D:D

Re: have you noticed
 

A "loonie" is a Canadian one dollar coin, so called because the original one had an image of a loon on the reverse. First issued in 1987, the coin is now worth almost one US dollar. I sincerely hope that this is too much information, and certainly not what you were looking for.:D:D:D

Re: have you noticed
 

If this is not enough, we have the "twoonie" which is a two dollar coin ... two loonies in one .... has a Polar Bear on the back ... coin sometimes known as the "Queen with a bear behind."

Re: have you noticed
 

Whats a loon? :D

Re: have you noticed
 

A loon is a lake dwelling bird -only know that because the author Stephen King often mentions them in his novels set in Maine USA

Re: have you noticed
 

Dont read stephen king - theyre scarey are his books. Well tell a lie read Misery thats a good book!

Re: have you noticed
 

I have read ALL of them - now moved on to Dean Koonz (more horror)

Re: have you noticed
 

A loon is a water bird, and it has a distinctive, mournful call. When you are out in the wilderness (no, not Ossy) camping you can hear them calling, esp. around sunset and in the early evening. A true Canadian icon, like the beaver, the polar bear, and the rabid skunk (not the rabid skank, like Paris Hilton, which appears to be a US phenomenon):D

Re: have you noticed
 

Great books are Stephen Kings ones. :D

Re: have you noticed
 

Just reading a book by Stephen King's wife, Tabitha and she mentions loons too !

Re: have you noticed
 

How's it going Brian? Good to see you haven't forgot the grumpy one:D I'll send you an email with an update cheers Ian.;)

Re: have you noticed
 

To chain myself naked to the gates of Buckingham Palace of course .... it's not an ambition of yours too? :eek: :D

Re: have you noticed
 

No not quite, mine is to chain someone else to them :rolleyes::D

Re: have you noticed
 

Going quite fine my way Ian. Great harvests of tomatoes, cabbage, eggplant, squashes, corn, peppers, cucumbers, kale, swiss chard, garlic, beans, carrots, beets, grapes, blueberries, and blackberries.

Poor year for fruit trees, turnips, peas, nut trees, due to drought and very hot weather!

Brian

I've missed you Tinks! Glad to have ya back home!;)

Re: have you noticed
 

Welcome back, you little virtual stranger.:D
