I typo'ed! I meant to say unemployment haha. Keynes would be turning in his grave. I studied stagflation at length too, for shame.

I'll consider it. Your's is about 12, by the way (11.95 rounded at two decimal places).

Why?

I have driven through there, but I don't believe I've ever stopped for a significant amount of time, no.

Nobody is getting my sheep.

So there was this lady who need some painting done inside her house but she had contacted several contracted painters and she either wasn't to happy about their quote or the contractors didn't agree with the work she was enquiring about.
One day she came home from work and noticed some handyman working at the house next door to her, so proceeded to go over there to see if they would be interested in applying for the work she needed done.
The owner/operator of the business had no problems with her expectations and was quite happy to start the job as soon as they had finished next door.

He did have one inquiry however as to what colours she wanted, so the lady took him inside and they looked at the first room. She told the man "I would like this room in a light pink"
The man nodded and said "Just excuse me for one second" walked to a window overlooking the other job site and shouted "GREEN SIDE UP!"

Well the lady was quite shocked and was intrigued as to why he was yelling this to his workers next door, a thought crossed her mind that it was instructions about her job but was quite puzzled as to why he was yelling green.
They went to the next room "Could I have this room a nice warm red or earth colour please"
The man nodded excused himself again, and again shouted out the window "GREEN SIDE UP!"
The woman jumped from fright and was starting to regret asking this man to paint her house wondering if he was listening to a word she was saying.
Anyway she showed him the last room and in a questioning voice asked "Is it possible to do this room with a deep purple wall there and the rest light blue?"
The man agreed and nodded and once again went to the window and shouted "GREEN SIDE UP!"

By this time that lady had had enough, in a frustrating tone she asked him "Why on god's earth are you shouting those instructions to your men when not one of my rooms have I asked for any shade of green?!"
The man quite taken aback apologetically said
"I am so sorry ma'am I just have some kiwis next door laying turf and I have to remind them the green side goes up."

Sir Rameses has ordered for you to be banned for slandering his nation by calling them sheep shaggers. I told him to embrace it, but alas.

So apparently you need to be banned now.

Why would you love to live on a farm? I imagine it would be smelly. Lovely, but smelly.

Oh yeah I get what you're saying there. But so long as it's properly maintained (which I'm not saying it's not now but two heads are better than one) that shouldn't really happen. And there's nothing to say that you won't get a mix of the old and the new - change is healthy and this place needs a shot in the arm.

I know what you're getting at, but wouldn't both ideas work in tandem? If you archive most of the stuff in there you can start a whole new thread about.. well idk, say anything like personal religious beliefs (something that belongs in ID because at least there basic rules on etiquette have to be followed) without the worry of whether or not anyone has been there before. It'll encourage newer members to take a look as well without feeling any pressure to be over the top or come up with witty responses.

I think you're right though. Meier's done a great job as always but it's not a one mod forum. Too much bad juju in there. As for your thread I'll take a look sometime. Usually when I have something to contribute I'll only do so if I have the time to put my point across - but it's a solid idea. (Y)

Not at all. I was in a rush when I wrote it so it came across poorly. Hence I hope I've redressed that a bit better. It's a good forum, or moreso used to be - seems to have been hijacked a little with trolling though. Surely a little pruning here and there would stop necroposting and give it a kick up the arse that it clearly needs? Especially as TFF is far from what it used to be, you know?

I think I'm going to like you. You engage your brain before you post. Good on ya.

It was on a field on top of a mountain. I don't think there are any pet sheep up there, but there are sheep carcasses so I suspect the sheep up there are pretty rogue lol. The only time I've ever been in contact with sheep is when I used to shovel sheep shit with my nan's ex husband, they were pretty docile if I remember right.

Well I wasn't actually there so I don't completely know how it went down, but I used to be friends with quite a few of the people who actually witnessed it. Actually now that I think about it, I should've asked why they let him haha. As for being proud, I bloody hope not.
