dont take this the wrong way ladies - but is there anyway I can hide a thread? In particular the Word Association thread! Others will probably think it is just a bit of fun, but it isn't my thing!
Its filled up the '30 last posts' page that I use to keep up with whats going on, and it does nothing for me!
Is there anything I can do?

You're a teacher, we are supposed to like these mind stretching exercises!

Hadn't thought of it from that point of view, flat, I suppose it will have that effect. However, I can't think of a way around it at the moment.
Never mind, we'll probably get bored soon!

Just bump this one thirty times!
I never use that facility - I just look for Today in bold and check out the threads one at a time

I use the 30 last posts every day to catch up.
Might as well 'fess up that it was the clone thingy that used to get to me.
And, I usually read the 30 without signing in, deliberately to miss the 'Naughty' stuff.

ah - so if that thread is 'members only' I could avoid it if I don't sign in? That could be worth a try! (hint, hint!)  |

Or you could click on the 'new topics' button and see what threads have been posted to recently. It's not quite as precise a tool as the last 30 posts thing, but each thread only appears once.

I feel bad Sir Flat if I've offended in any way, just letting you know.

Sir Flat, please don't tell me you left us just because of the one single thread |

Flat, it would be such a shame to lose you over one silly thread that is just meant for a bit of fun.  I get that it's not your thing but... really?  |

He doesn't seem to be on the Member's list any more. I guess he really has left. What a shame, over a silly game that will probably run its course in a week or two.

I think it's a real shame too. I agree, and I'd posted earlier, that we're bound to get fed up of it soon. I think if we'd realised he felt so seriously about it perhaps we could have said something or found a way round the forum to help him avoid it.
Sorry to see you go, flat! It was always good to get a point of view from the alternative gender.

I don't usually wander too far from the James section, but I just saw this post and am really sorry to see Flat leave. I do hope he misses us as much as we will miss him. I always enjoyed his posts.
I started the thread with the sole purpose to have a little fun. As I said, we have fun playing this at work, but I don't want to see anyone leave because of it. I would be fine with it being deleted if it will prevent further grumpiness. Any suggestions, mods?

How could I stay away when I read some of the lovely comments? (But poo - post count has reset its-self! That took a lot of doing - see below!)
Just to put a bit of perspective on my sudden departure - I read these boards in a totally different way, and in a totally dfferent mind-set to everyone else (well most people!)! I can confirm that James does nothing physical for me in any way (in fact I think he is a bit of a weedy chap!), and I don't share his love of old motorbikes and cars! New and shiney are best. The 'appreciation threads' (the members only ones!) don't do anything for me, so I don't tend to read or post much on them! I am however, a massive fan of his programmes and I read all of those.
I will just have to read the boards in another way! So - keep going with the word assoc thread, and I will firgure a way around it! (you never know, I might even join in with that one day!)
Thanks for the encouragement to rejoin you lovely ladies!

Weedy? Actually, that made me smile.....it's a view of James that I suspect quite a few people share. Not many of the good women on here though!

One of my closest friends, when we met a few years ago and she found out about my 'crush' said of James, "Sorry, he's not my type. Far too thin and far too pretty. Like his brain though".
I accept that the 'thin' bit probably no longer applies, but I found her comment interesting.

Sorry, Richard  ) |
