Doesnt their house insurance cover damage to other peoples property or person? They (insurers) will probably claim an Act of God defence though, but if it could be proven that the roof was in a poor state of repair you may have a case. But its by no means cut and dry. Sorry to hear the news.

Thanks - user and topic deleted.

I want one. Sod robosapien - these look like much more fun. Probably a few more quid though!

Sounds like a good idea.

Not that Im aware of, I havent been able to get on in the evenings recently though so dont know if its the same for me. Ill try and have a look.

I cant stand the interior of the new Civic. Yes its very space age, but I think the novelty of its Starship Enterprise dashboard will wear off pretty quickly. I couldnt get on with the handbrake whn I took one out for a drive, Its as though they havent bothered moving it over when they switched the steering wheel over - its right up against the drivers seat. Anyhoo - Nice to see you back Nick, Im sure we all wished that the Z's performance was on a par with the evos'. They certainly are quick. Not to sure on the angular looks myself, or the stereotypical image that comes with evos/scoobys, but I can imagine they certainly are fun.

No problem at all - you are very welcome. What do you mean "become" a respected member, all members already are. Even if we do fall out with some every now and then

Hi Stuey. I think your first point is referring to quoting. The quote button should be somwhere up here ^ For example if I wanted to highlight a post you had made and reply to it, I would click the quote button next to your post. Try it with this one... See the "quote" button above my post - this one: If you click that it will take you to a reply box (just the same as if you had clicked "post reply) but it will already have my post within

I have to admit there were jokes about David Blunket that I heard around the time of his departure that made me laugh. Had I been blind I may have been rather offended by them, but I wasnt. I laughed at them - does that make me a bad person? People make jokes about fat people, and yes sometimes I do find them offensive, but I can see how others would find them funny. Just not me. It all comes back to what I said previously I think, and thats that there will always be a victim/target of comedy be it a person, a relegious beleif, a specific culture or whatever else. Anyone think this topic needs splitting off - comedy/where are the lines, and this one for Kevs banning?

I knew I should have picked a better disguise than a purple dress and blue jacket. In comedy there is almost always a loser, a target that people laugh at, from the days of slapstick where we laughed at the person who got it in the face with a custard pie, and now the person whos beleifs are ridiculed or who's physical appearence is poked fun at. Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner, Itchy & Scratcty, pinky & the brain, bugs bunny & elmer fudd. There is always a loser, one that we laugh at. People can poke fun at me for being overweight, but I could equally have a pop at sarnie, offering him a stepladder so he can wax his 350's roof for example. I suppose half the game is knowing in advance how your comments will be received. It cant be easy going out on stage cracking a joke and wondering if people are going to find it funny or offensive....

Being "bigger boned" I can relate to the fact that yes, I pretty much chose to be this way. Yes there are a minority for whom its not a choice, but a medical condition. Had someone asked me four years ago if I wanted to be as big as I am, I would have said no thanks and told them where to get off. Had that same person asked me every now and then if I fancied a night out on the beer, a Burger King for lunch once in a while and Pizza on a Friday night as its a great way to start the weekend, and its easier than actually cooking, then Id have said yes. Which is pretty much what I said to myself subconciously, and hey presto, 4 years later and Im about 4 stone heavier. Ooops. When did that happen? I just seemed to wake up one morning and found I was fat. On the plus side though I have joined weight watchers, and lost half a stone so far. So Im now choosing to do something about it. Plus Im thinking of the power to weight ratio of the car. Whats the point in saving a few KG here and there if the driver is carrying 30KG of unnecessary weight into the car!

if we got trigger happy with the delete button then you would hear the cries of "censorship!" a mile away. Although it is looking like the only option left, as after numerous hints and discussions about dragging topics into pages of banter and jibing, it still continues. The plan was that hopefully people would take the hint and maybe stop it of their own accord.

Liam, there was quite a bit to wade through. I did notice you had posted the pics up yes, didnt know you had helped the chap out via pm though so he could do it himself, thanks for that.

Removed my own post as its just going to kick off another argument. People can make their own minds up about a site censoring links to other sites containing onfo about their car.

Stuey can you email me one of the pictures so I can test. You have my email in a pm. Answers to the following questions may help find out what is causing your error: What is the file format of the original pictures? ie. *.bmp (bitmap), *.jpg (jpeg), etc. What is the size of the picture/s (in kb - i.e. 125kb) You should just be able to post the images straight to the site in the manner you tried (as described above) - like this:

You know posting links to OUR site on the OC will also get you warned/banned. If, for some bizzare reason, someone really does want to try and get banned, then posting a link to our site is probably one of the more productive ways you could go about it. And a lot less likely to offend people who may know of or are related to special needs children.

Please dont go draging us into another argument with the OC by posting that pic just for the hell of it. Its not going to be appreciated by anyone. Ta, Chris.

Because others do it, that makes it acceptable to contribute to it then? What a wonderful world it would be if we all adopted the attitude that because others do it we may as well all join in. Then when someone tells us its wrong, stick our hands up in the air and claim "they do it too", like that makes it all better. Spam and banter has its place, but it seems that lately almost every single thread gets dragged off topic and the same crowd of people just dont know when to stop. The odd joke or jibe whilst contributing to a topic does no harm, its when those jokes and jibes drag on for pages on end, and the initial point of the topic gets lost altogether. Ive now had to resort to trying to solve a members problems with pics via pm, as his thread was dragged off topic for a couple of pages with no attempt to help the chap.

I wouldnt bother. The outcome is almost certain, and its still an image that can cause offence regardless of where its posted.

Was that yesterday? Is it happening again today at all? Im aware of the debug error still present on the "recent topics" link, a solution to that is being worked upon.

Its the timing of when to stop the banter and consider returning the thread to topic thats seems to be the issue some times though. lol.
