Bland: Peasants are revolting part 2 ....

Your holiness the peasants are revolting once again. This Cad believes is due to 2 facts
1 There are a lot of talented, all be it frustrated, people on this forum.
2 You don't make enough appearance to distract the peasants from falling out with one another.
3... There is no 3 just seeing if you are paying attention...

Cads fiendish solution... Can you not run some form of competition? A short story!
The prize instead of some naff t shirt, or mug (sure they are of finest quality) being 5 minutes of your time via email on this forum. You never know you might enjoy it. They can ask say 5 questions?? which you can answer as you see fit. It would make everyone feel a little more connected. Time is very precious to you that everyone understands, but something like this would add to this rather fine forum. There is some serious talent, being seriously overlooked on here. Be it writing, or graphics.

Just an idea.

There was a "mug" for a prize? What'd I have to do to win?

Well, even if I were to win, no doubt by the time it got across the pond for delivery to me, undoubtedly the handle would be broken off and it'd be just like a dozen other fractured ceramic mugs I own, none of which I want to part with due to the sentimental value built up over, say, 8 to 10 years of staring at it on the other side of the bowl of porridge each morning, tea bag floating, stewing, seeping it's dark brown inkiness into the flouride infected sludge we call water here, sweetened with precisely one and one-quarter teaspoon of granulated sugar, not more, not less, unless the cupboard bore nothing but coarse brown sugar, in which case it would be three-quarters, level, teaspoon, and if none of that perhaps a squirt of molasses (yuck), tried only once, I admit, several years ago, subsequently tinged with a bit of vanilla extract in an attempt to return it to something ingestible as opposed to a cider worthy of Mr. Hyde or his friend... (deep breath)... my how I look forward to my porridge and tea and two pieces of toast each morning, every morning, every day of my life, since age 3 or 4, thus nearly a half century, tea, porridge, tea, porridge, toast, varied only by the occasionaly adventure to ... CORN MEAL, or that most ghastly, cheating imitation of breakfast cereal, CREAMED WHEAT, but always TOAST or, in its absence (or my forgetfulness to seize a loaf when shopping), FROZEN WAFFLES, which while holding quite well said corn meal, pasty creamed wheat or genuine PORRIDGE in its gridded indentations, is not as PURE as TOAST, brown strongly preferred to white, please, oh, and don't forget the TEA, not coffee, not hot chocolate, but TEA, of some or any such variety of pigmented H2O such that the combined pleasure of TOAST, TEA and CEREAL results in that most valued of consequences: REGULARITY. Ah!!!!!

Lozzy Cad assures you they have his undivided attention... Ok maybe a 60/40 with your bum...

Cass so we can set our watches by you... Very reassuring are you a reader or non reader?? Cad spends many a happy time reading... Go as far as saying the whole experience is ruined if haven't got something to read.

Val Cad was all for banging heads together, but the logistics of that plan didn't work out...

I have now seen my future bathroom, as soon as the boyfriend moves in...

Cad, I think you are absolutely correct! I come to this sight every other day or so and thoroughly enjoy reading everyone's posts. So many of the forum members are excellent writers--clever, witty, engaging. I don't comment because I often don't feel my comments would be up to (or at times, not down to...LOL) the level of dialogue. I am an avid reader, but not much of a writer.

I agree that attention from Mr. Cleese would most certainly derail any disagreements between forum members. (Ok, I admit, I'd be thrilled to be a part of any discussion with him--after all, fawning over him is the reason we are here!) I also think it would be fabulous to read actual stories the real writers on this site had to offer.



If any original stories were posted, I would hope that there would be an agreement to post only positive comments. I'd hate to see amateur criticism turning nasty in an attempt to be clever.

DrMom thank you for your comments. You must post what ever you are feeling, that's what everyone does, it's like a free therapy. OK so you might have to purchase a coffee mug, or T shirt from time to time to appease his Holiness and Dean. Other than that it's a free for all. As stated we do have a high percentage of oddball, but gifted people (Cad falls into the oddball only section)on here and some times things get maybe a little misconstrued... Speaking for Cad (it's complicated) everything written is in jest. Though Cad does go off on personal rants when green matters are mentioned. So please never take anything Cad writes as personal. Cad is horrible to all, in equal measure and expects nothing less in return. Mrsthing and lozzy seem to take the brunt, but they either give back as good, or if Cads attempt at humour falls flat which is 90% of the time they just ignore Cads puerile nonsense.
DrMom Cad insists you start a thread! I say are you a real Doctor?

If I put something up that I wrote, I would get depressed about it, so let's not do that. I tore down my writing website with some of my offerings a long time ago -- before I came on this forum.

A link to people's work would be good, though, just that I don't have any online. I've seen Cassbtt's site. It's very nice and quite interesting. I'm the main person that was in here bitching and arguing, when all the trouble started, but I wasn't doing it so that people would read my work. I don't care if they read my work or not. I need to track down what all I've written in here about my work and erase it. Oh! I can't erase it. Dean closed the thread. Maybe he'll erase it. Early Christmas present.

Anyway, we're in here for John Cleese's work. Also, some of us, mainly me, are in here to also comment favorably on Paul McCartney's work.

It's enough to keep me busy.

Fanny, Fanny calm down. She... She didn't mean it, I'm sure...
Just breathe... (turns to Zelda) "Who is" Paul McCartney?! You're going to give the woman a heart-attack!!
