Mike has reported that he has been banned, I presume it's related to the recently closed threads involving Memories, obviously I could be wrong but it seems a tad harsh

Tfft.

Is that the prolific poster that everytime I see him I think it says mammaries?

That’s good news as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully it’s nothing more than a temporary suspension or he’s taking a break after a warning.

 

I know he sometimes rubs people up the wrong way (but don’t we all to some degree?) but this would be a far less useful (and amusing) place without him.

Ffs.

Opinions may vary.

Maybe he has been put on the norty step for a while? After all, he does drive a milk float 😜

On another vein I have just been distressed to see that all my warning points have expired 😱

I think I may have mentioned this before, but I’ve got a lot of caps. So many in fact that I’d be prepared to swap one if the right opportunity came along. If only someone had something of matching value to get rid of.

What about furniture - some of that seems to hold its value ?

Only if it’s lovely.

I know where there is a sofa with slightly non-matching, faded, cushions - any interest ?

I have often thought of replacing my two bench seats with a comfy sofa that has a lot of storage to replace some of what I’d lose from the two bench seats. My concern would be putting too much weight on one side of the boat causing it to list.

 

Would I Lie To You… TRUE

 

Is the sofa you’re thinking of well-built but not overly heavy?

 

If not then I’m not sure it would be suitable for my boat, or possibly any other narrow boat.

Mike has posted the email on FB which says he's banned from posting for four days.

So?

I missed all the action. What is he accused of?

There is a difference between being restricted from posting for x days and being banned, cast in to the outer darkness with no possibility of return to the sunny world of CWDF.

Human rights infringement.

Is the difference that you post about it twice ?

Isn't restricting his posting a human rights infringement too?

Only if he has a protected characteristic. Which now I come to think of it...

You don't mean....Mike is pregnant?

Did you think Mike was short for Michael?

 

It was Michaela all along but he had been identifying as a man.

 

Anyway, gender is irrelevant. Or is it? Maybe not when pregnancy is involved.

 

I dunno, being a bit of a dinosaur I’m a bit confused about these modern ways of thinking.

If he's only banned from posting for four days that means he can read it if people start saying nice things about him 😬 Can we delete this thread before he comes back, and pretend it never happened and noone noticed?
