Oh, no it isn't
 

I got admonished the other day by a member that claims I am not serious enough! I treat threads far too flippantly! WE, he said take accyweb far more seriously than it deserves to be treated by you.

Shock, horror thought I, not because I had, (yet again), been told by some upstart that accyweb is a serious site, but at the fact that people have now decided that accyweb IS, a serious site.

Oh, no it isn't,

accyweb was started as a bit of fun, a whimsy, a simple idea of people separated by perhaps miles to get together and have a bit of 'crack' together.

A few years ago I tried to explain this to a very nice guy that took it personally and thought I had meant he was being serious, fortunately he is still with us and thread wandering like a good 'un.


I look back over the really stupid threads that all the members would on an instant be prepared to join in with,

Staggeringmans, let's do one, a thread started about an imaginary bank robbery that everyone wanted to have a go at.

Or even my silly little thing about Robin Hood and his merry men,

They are all still out there hidden behind, people with half an idea about how to run the Country, 'their way'.

No wonder the talent to make us laugh has gone, we used to come on here to get away from the idiots of the world and now..... some fool has taught the idiots how to use computers, they seem to have taken over, no longer is it safe for Uncle Less to come on and teach the kiddies how to slice their wrists as they make Daddy a krimbo, card.
We now have health and safety Police and people that, (let's face it), would ignore a dying man in the street screaming about race relations!

even if it means losing a few members can we please get back to the sanity of what accyweb was developed for? The people amongst us that still have humour, if you want to talk politics find a political Site, if you want to be a world freak and talk global disaster there are sites for you as well.

I want the wingey's, Sparkologists, Cashman, Mez, Letties and Yes, good old 'rindy, the people that made accyweb, back on here, anyone else please join in the old spirit that it was, what the site is meant to be or develop your own, I want accyweb to be accyweb it used to do very nicely without being serious!

mitDefinately treat Accyweb as a bit of lighthearted fun myself and i try to inject some of my sarcastic wit where i can( and a bit of a moan i must admit..)......ps i think i know what thread you are on about , its boring the wotnot of me.......:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

The real Rindy has been locked in the wardrobe department ever since your last panto.

I have taken his place.:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

I have reported you just in case you are being serious!
:mad:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

...and I've reported you to the sense of humour police, who seem to be attempting a coup d'etat on Accy Web, and you'll probably banged up for a very long time when they find you in posession of said sense of humour!

:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

O.K. govn'er I'll come quietly you got me bang to rights, by garr' if only I'd listened to......!

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Now I know Less hasn't got a sense of humour....... cos once upon a thread, he thought I might be game for doing his cleaning;):p

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

The offer is still open, but bring a big sponge for my back!

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

And a donkey stone for his front :D.


Sorry Less....couldn't help it!

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Ewwww

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

At least he will provide his own bin bags :)

Re: Oh, no it isn't

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Get snippin', that there card won't make itself.:rolleyes::D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Perhaps in light of this thread you might be better making badges ;)

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

I've got a special Burnley Badge with 6 - 0 printed on it. :dancedog:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Ah yes Saturday 18th April 1896. Unfortunatley I wasn't around then, don't supposed you picked up a programme up while you were there ? :)

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Now that shows humour........we did away with paper on a string long ago.

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Ha, just show's how wrong a person can be, every night at 02.00 A.M. a hard copy of everything posted on accyweb has to be printed out, (Eu in/1436/b [computer software initiative paragraph 5]), any page that doesn't already have carp on it may be re-cycled.

That doesn't leave a large amount of paper for the nail!

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Souldn't that be 0 - 6 Roy:rolleyes:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

You will get me in trouble with the overseer :rolleyes:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

No the charity folk provide them:p

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Donkey stone:confused: I don't know what it is but it sounds painful:eek: Or are you saying Less is hung like a donkey;)

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Best way to describe them............Put one in each hand and clap them together near the dangles and they would finish up like bangles. ouch!!!.:juggle2:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Oh, now I get it ... sorta like bricking a camel:confused:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

NO, you are completely wrong...well your context is anyway.
Donkey stones were the domain of the houseproud housewife......the front steps used to be washed and while still wet rubbed over with a soft piece of sandstone.....which left a pattern on the steps and showed that they had been washed and 'stoned'......if you recall earlier in the post there was some alluding to cleaning......and I think it was Less who asked for a large sponge to clean his back.....so I just thought I would remind Accylass to take along a donkey stone for the front.
Less is old enough to understand about it, even if accylass isn't.
It was all about housewifely duties.......nothing sinister in that(at least on my part there wasn't).

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Ouch ... now I get it ... and I thought getting stoned meant something different ... having your plums stoned sounds about as much fun as bobbing for french fries:eek::eek::eek:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

No, Eric, the Donkey stones are for......ah forget it!

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Nice one Margaret :hothothot

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

A pleasure Royboy :D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

I had absolutely no idea what a donkey stone was:D lol

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

I remember donkey stones as coming in yellow or white, but I have a distant memory that really acomoplished 'donkey stoners' used to do elaborate lace like patterns...or have I dreamt that?

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Are you any the wiser? ;)

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Absolutely not:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Don't worry you will have a lot of friends who won't know either.

Did you know that dolly blue was all the rage in the sixties as a new form of hair dye :o

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

So thats why you had a blue tidemark when everyone elses was grey? :p

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Please read any instructions on the product carefully. Remember both powder and solid lumps may cause blue smears or specks if used incorrectly

Hope this didn't happen to your hair:confused:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

I know what a donkey stone is :D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

No.........but after dipping your head in that tub you came out squeaky clean..or your strides did.!!!

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

You are to young to have heard of them;)

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

im 25 and i know!

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Don't suppose it has anything to do with a donkey..... or a stone? Certainly nowt to do with both a donkey and a stone I'm sure:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

its a stone for cleaning your step and make it look nice :D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

OK I will give you that one......What is Dolly Blue?

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

for your washing :D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

My donkey stone would have to be HUGE, the drive is my step:eek:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

I'll go for that ..........to do what?

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

whiten?

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Aint Google a wonderful place lol

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

ya reckon??

i have a damn good memory :D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Yeh..........can you buy still dolly blue? next time you go into Tesco ask them and they will look ay you funny....Dolly Blue was for cotton and not many garments now are made of cotton......sadly Dolly Blue is no longer with us......unless one of our Members know where to buy some?

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Wish I could say the same, I'm only good at remembering when I was right:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

ok ok ..... check the times between posts.. how good do u think i am?

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Will have a look in town should imagine you can get it somewhere. Will report back as to result of search.

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Best place to try for anything like that would be the stall on the inside market I would have thought

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

You read my mind Emzy, about the only place I could think of:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

that reminds me - net curtain whitener when i go down town next.......

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Stall on inside market Jen:p

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

I liked it too:D:D:D

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Right can we now get back to Less's original thread please

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Might sound a bit strange but I have used dolly blue in civil engineering and mining for tracing underground water seepage , like they say the 'owd ways are best ways ' you dont learn everything in school ;)

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Isn't this the type of killjoy attitude Less was complaining about :rofl38:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Bah, humbug! It's good to see that the spirit of Ebeneezer Scrooge still drifts silently through the corridors of Accyweb Towers. :rolleyes:

Re: Oh, no it isn't
 

Did you use a donkey stone to scrub your dolly blue Sparky? :mosher:
