Kinder Surprise

She's vanished

I'm visualising kinder in a Bermondsey cyber cafe struggling to get through. However, people do tend to lurk so I wouldn't be sure of anything.

I wager she'll return.

>I wager she'll return.

No doubt... I e-mailed her today!

Me too. That was what I based my wager on. i was hoping someone would offer me good odds.
You've blown it now. I'll never reap the financial reward of my ploy.
Hmm..

I was trying to spread the word.

This place is going to get a lot quieter from now on...

Theres not as much to read either.

Heh heh!

Mail her to come to Eastbourne. It'll be great, ther'll be loads of shandy.

Yeah, but Ailie's still here, which is what counts for me!


tim_e has vanished, but I've just noticed that he's been bothering my messageboard about the situation, so I'll pass the forum address on to him...

What about Bean is a carrot and One Day Soon? They had esteemed red names and everything.
Also wasn't there two comedians, who had slots on the radio and, possibly TV? One of them named after a fish of something (sorry)? Or are they distancing themselves from this?

TJ - what's the address of your messageboard? I didn't even know you had one...

You'll find it on the links page at the L&H site!

I haven't seen Dr Hackenbush posting here. Oh hang on, he mailed me this morning.

What about Janet?

It's been like cold turkey. I've been having severe Jon withdrawel symptoms. It's been tough getting through the day without a dose of cynicism.

Thanks for the antidotes Ailie and Sam. :)

And yer actual Richard Herring

Does anyone else feel really deserted?
I mean, I know there are a lot of people still here, but it's a bit like we've been dumped...

I must admit the place does have a new non-directional atmosphere.

People must have some idea of what's happened. This can't have happened without any sort of warning.

I have lots of thoughts, but all of them speculative.

I thought at first that I'd been banned. Then Ailie gave me the address of the Forum. For the 1st day or 2 there was still a NotBBC logo, but that went yesterday.

And then there's the tumbleweed and sound of howling prairie dogs...

Thats just Jon and Bent Halo listening to "the Fall".

If we stick together we'll be OK. Just wait to be rescued, don't get into a 'Lord Of The Flies' situation and start killing each other.

>For the 1st day or 2 there was still a NotBBC logo, but that went yesterday.

"Addicted," a NotBBC site, has a wee message up where it used to be...

http://addicted.spodnet.uk.com/

Is it really as serious as it seems? Why did they have to pull down the whole of the website? Surely not all of it could have breeched copyright. If they hadn't pulled it down would they really have faced prosecution? Does anyone know anything about internet law?

>Is it really as serious as it seems?

Dunno.
SOTCAA seems to be gone for good, as there isn't even a message where it used to be.

> Surely not all of it could have breeched copyright.

We don't even know if that's the reason why it was taken down.

> If they hadn't pulled it down would they really have faced prosecution? Does anyone know anything about internet law?

Basic law acts in favour of those affected by slander.

If only Bob Enyart would come out and slander someone...

Then we could rub his face off with a copy Gulliver's Travels.

Thanks for answering my questions Ailie. You're always so helpful.

But this is insane. I am even beginning to fear for the safety of my Russell Peters website. It's getting that traumatic.

It's not like Lord Of The Flies.

More like The Lost Islands.

The Q is out there somewhere...

If Dan Long was still around, I wouldn't object to eating him. Even after we got rescued.

Actually, i am quite hungry.

>If Dan Long was still around, I wouldn't object to eating him. Even after we got rescued.

I should have known you could never be faithful. And to think I never even picked up on your androgynous air.

>Actually, i am quite hungry.

Don't Sam. You're turning me on.

Oops. Sorry!

still here.......

I've been trying to get back in, but there were wolves outside!

I've only just found out...is everyone OK?

Haven't seen Nunuf Urbuznuz, but he only dropped in occasionally anyway.

I love the atmosphere of this thread - it's like the bit where they finally make it to the other side of the beach in 'Saving Private Ryan' - now all we need to do is shoot some surrendering Nazis...

"Hande hoch! Kamerad! Kamerad!" <rapid gunfire>

Good shot.

*looks at her hand* Very good shot.


*dies*



[but i don't look as good in a butler's outfit as tim Curry does, obviously]

>What about Bean is a carrot and One Day Soon? They had esteemed red names and everything.

Still looking, PJ, just not talking. Jon emailed me to ask if any of my pals in the world of comedy knew anything about the SOTCAA closure. The answer is no, and anyway I think the copyright explanation seems more likely. I doubt any one comedian who felt slightly aggrieved by what was on here would have frightened Rob and The Corpses enough to make them remove it all. Anyway most of the abuse was in the forum (initially I wondered whether it was all the swearing) and that seems to be the only bit that survives. Maybe they were keeping secret stashes of illegal materials hidden deep within the site disguised as old Joyce Grenfell monologues?

Disappointed to see it go, though. This forum suddenly seems very isolated. It's almost like being on Big Brother...

>It's almost like being on Big Brother...

But still more fun that watching it.

Jon: We are outnumbered, request support, repeat request support. [looks at Radio Operator Hackenbush, realises he has been shot in the face]. Gah.

.

still hanging on.....






just

*pops up from foxhole*

Guys! Over here! Come and take some pot shots at some dozy Americans!

http://www.douglasadams.com/cgi-bin/mboard/info/thread.cgi?2120,0

(After the moody black background of this forum, the DNA forum does make you feel a little disembodied - as does the average IQ of the forumgoers...)

*throws battered old football into comedy no-man's land*

Come on chaps! Having a pop at dozy Americans may be fun, but Americans are people too, with feelings and families just like all us brave tommies here! Let's all forget our differences and have a good old game of footy!


*mr griffiths kicks off cheerfully and is then scythed in two by a tremendous barrage of ill-informed hyperbole posted by witless yanks*

Doh!

*all this is done in moving slow motion and fades respectfully to field of shimmering poppies*

Jeez, for the last time, the DNA forum is OUR forum, and THIS is yours, so stay away!

oooooooooOOOoooOOooooh!

Is this one of the idiots from that Douglas Adams place?

A Vogon, you mean?

Quick, kill it before it destroys the Earth...

Is your name a desription of your brain?
And its usefullness.
Jeez!

Weird thing is, this is an old thread.
SM must have trawled through the whole lot to find a thread that made a mild slight toward the fans of Adams.

Are you having problems at home, Springy Mass? Sure. I understand. It's a tough world out there. Have you ever thought of inviting Jesus into your life?

>Who hasn't shown up yet since the great disaster? Simon, Ewar, subbes... we're all here, aren't we?

Well I'm still here... So, is the best way to get a drink out of Springy Mass to stick your fingers down his throat?
