Another one i wish I'd written. Check out my new publicity shot on the profile by the way...”

Beautiful.”

“About the 15th December strangers start talking to each other on buses, drivers start being courteous, people smile at each other and a person might get a drink bought or a treat or tip. It's lovely and it lasts until about January the 1st. But it's worth the year-long wait."

Posted in September by er, ???!!!???!!!!!! No, not him, some geezer called Mimi, coincidentally about the 1st January.”

“Not on the Forum this time, I remember being at my cousin's house in Holmfirth and they were doing some major building work so consequently had a couple of professionals in. As my cousin sat everyone down for a bit of lunch she said "help yourself to meat, there's pork ham or chicken" one of the builders said "just a bit of salad and a bread roll for me, I don't eat meat". My cousin said "Is that because of your beliefs or religion?" His reply was "just can't be bothered to chew it!" I laughed out loud!

Not particularly words of wisdom but thought I'd share it with you, for no other reason than to give you all a little smile.”

“"When Special Agent Pippa and her sidekick GC got to the scene it was obvious it had been tampered with."

A splendid piece of fiction (or is it real?)”

“........there's a a lot of fuss if something is not quite right, so new people are a bit put, so don't really feel like writing, for fear of ridicule. Is it because, outsiders are outsiders, and that's that. Is it because, when someone new joins, there's no hello from existing members ?
Perhaps if there was a little more effort put into welcoming new people it might be easier for them to join in. I went away for a year, and after coming back, I see that it's basically the same 10 regulars, with a few who come in for a quiet look. Now I'm no actual stranger to this place, this forum, this site. But I feel like one. This may be a hull group type thing, but its on the Internet. Now, be good, and stop bickering and picking fault with each other, or there'll be no scraps for your chips."

I'm happy to say that we've all turned over a new leaf and it's a happy place to be. Obviously mine's a big 'un (leaf that is!)”

“Sensational, I am contributing to this thread to help you out. Other than Harry, you are the only poster! I would like to quote Winston Churchill.

“Don't eat yellow snow .............. by someone who obviously did, yuk.”

“Missfoodlove, as a member, you are an asset. As an asset, you are a member. It just sounded poignant. Ha.

That yellow snow, surely no-one ever ate it thinking it was orange/lemon flavour did they? They was fick if they did!”

“Missfoodlove, you know when you posted this?

I quote.... "Other than Harry, you are the only poster....."

I'd like to finish the sentence....

1. ......that makes any sense?
2. ......that I await the next post with baited breath?
3. ......that is worthwhile reading?

Sorry! Could. Not. Resist! i shall put myself to bed with a slap! I deserve one.”

“Sensational, I could continue this ........... But to use more wise words and words I have used before. KNOW WHEN TO STOP! :)”

“Heavens!........? It worked!”

“I wonder?”

“I know when to stop alright. The idea of this thread was to post the 'best of the year'. So it will be on-going I'm afraid. I like it.”

“Meteorologoglolical. I've resurrected this word 'cos everybody seemed to just take it for granted when it appeared (only recently). I loved it.”

“There are those that argue for the sake of it, those that do their damndest to throw a thread into disarray, the sarcastic and the comical and the downright stupid.

Excellent! These are wise words indeed. There are also the ones that annoy to entertain and entertain to annoy. These posters are fibbidabbidobulous, poptabulous and megamungous!

I think we know who they are alright. Tsk tsk.”

“Now here is a marvellous play on words and without Googling it, can anyone guess who came up with these wise words back in the day? Clue: one of my favourites. These are the words then:

"and it don't matter how its slept"

Absolutely wonderful. Does anyone else have a favourite that they'd love to resurrect...”

“Missfoodlove

You really didn't think he'd stop did you? 2/3 of the posts on here so far.”

“2/3 of the posts on here so far.

....and more to come, aye!”

“Never throw a boiling hot tea bag in a bin. It might catch fire....”

“Sensational – have you got forum Tourette's??

He was a wise man who invented beer – Plato”

“Woodz, are you a golfing type? Yes I do have the Forum Tourette's. But otherwise I'm just the same as your-good-self. Here's a nice one, my old school motto.... nothing is great unless it is good. Latin was 'Nil Magnum nisi Bonum' I think. hated Latin.”

“Sensational - Your Post of 7th. Jan .
I believe the Hull Daily Mail has changed hands more recently.
I came off the Old Forum because in all honesty without being
prudish , toffee nosed or stuck up in any way , I felt that there
was a fair bit of rubbish put forward. Under what I believe is
new ownership and for whatever reason , the general content
now has improved considerably and there is a friendly
atmosphere prevailing- long may it continue .
And Missfoodlove , your post of 8th. Jan makes good sense and
your post of the 9th. Jan also good.
I thought the idea of a good Forum is to promote Good Healthy
Discussion with everybody being open and honest and at the
same time being amicable with each other .”

“Yes Terry. It was getting a little tedious for you all. I'm much preferring to be an onlooker nowadays and feel much better for it. Thank you for the comments. You'll soon be a favourite on here. I hang on to your every word.”

“Thanks Mr Woodtouch!”

“Thanks for that comment sensational, it is appreciated .”

“Thanks Missfoodlove , when I put that comment on
I felt sure I would be in trouble !”

“From the NHS Confederation Chief Executive following completion of the investigation into Staffordshire Trust:

"Staff give really, really great care when they feel really, really valued - not really, really inspected."

Love it.”

“Sounds really, really(!) far-fetched Free_Spir.... although without checking I do believe that this has been sourced correctly. I have never felt that your integrity is to be doubted! xx”

“Gazzer once sang the lyrics "There's more chance of Shergar turning up with Lord Lucan and Elvis on his back..." how are ya MissFL? This thread's all mine, all mine i tell thee....”

“I famously once said (on the microphone) "If everyone in Britain had a pink car, we'd be a pink car-nation". It got a titter.”

“was that at a kids party?

simple sum : minus the 'ter' and add 'award of the year'”

“One of my current favourite words of wisdom of the fora "You chat kaka". Absolutley brilliant. Thank you for that exquisite example thirteen. One of my very favourite members of the chatting team.

Actually the above example also shows how you are thinking. Well done. Although sometimes I wonder how much of it is venomous (like the 'skin crawl' poster) andd how much is just for effect. I pray it's the latter. Did you get all of that?

A chap I know was walking down the street and saw a neighbour pushing his new-born in a pram. He said "Ah, new baby, aw isn't he lovely? The neighbour, visibly perplexed said "She's a girl". Our hero replied "Well, how was I to know?" "Because she's dressed in pink". The chap replied "Well she's got very short hair for a flipping girl". Ha.”

“By the way, I am sorry. Absolutely is spelt incorrectly.”

“Jesus said "I will make you fishers of men".”

“I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.

This is a quote from a world famous person. Without Googling it can we have some guesses as to who said it? Clue: a deeply religious person.”

“'S funny but this morning, before I logged on, I knew this post would have been dug up yet again. It seems to have a fatal fascination to a certain poster.

If we are making guesses rev, we need a prize for the winner. Where can the lucky winner claim their prize? Where is your church? You have plenty to say on everything yet seem strangely tight lipped on that subject.

Maybe next Sunday the family can all come and hear your sermon. It's sort of traditional. Families going to church together on a Sunday.”

“Well it is nice to know that you are thinking about us all before you even log in. Do you not do anything else with your life Mr. Writer? Perhaps you could help with our online congreg. I know you are very good with words.

Speaking of which, why oh why does 'heathen' look so much like heaven when it is written?

And which clever poster once quoted "God doesn't pay debts with money". Someone who might lyricise a hymn wot I've wrote I am hoping.”

“no rev, I only think about you. This is such fun. Well for me anyway. :)”

“A recent sermon I held was about promiscuity. Because Lady Very_ is a little old fashioned and staid It was decided that she should be told that I was giving a talk on 'yachting'. When one of the congregation stopped her in the street the following day and said she'd enjoyed my sermon my wife blurted out "Well, I don't understand this at all, the first time we tried it he was sick and the second time his hat blew off."”

“Mr. Writer, perhaps you need the church more than the church needs you!”

“I'll tell you what you do need......”

“rev - ellipses are 3 dots - not 5. Hope this helps ...

But if you think I need a church, then why not tell me where yours is and I can see for myself?”

“Mine are bigger and therefore a couple better. My church is generic. It is where you want it to be. Perhaps.”

“less is more rev, less is more :)”
