We've got it easy.

**Termite** · 26th February 2006, 02:55 PM

I'm a member of several international forums on a particular subject, not stated because you will lay crap on me, and apparently my expertise

has been noticed by a particularly prestigeous US forum. They have invited me to become a contributing member.

They have the usual lurkers, then they have members who are just registered lurkers, then they have contributing members. Even though I had been invited to become a contributor I still had to go through the full rigmarole, which consisted of reading the aims of the organisation, the rules of the forum (2 pages) and then fill out a questionaire to make sure I had read the rules and regs, then followed by an essay stating why they should accept me as a contributor, followed by a declaration that I would abide by the rules and regs.

I must admit I had to fight down the Termite so as to not tell them what I thought about this after being invited in.

To cut the story short, while reading the rules and regs I had to laugh, because I reccon that with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions, yes 1 or 2, the members of this forum would last about 30 seconds.

I was wondering where I had to sing the Star Spangled Thingo, and swear to defend the Home Of the Rave.

On this forum we have virtually total freedom, this has just been brought home to me, and I will from here on in try not to abuse it. Well I'll try.

They will lay the usual on me.

But it's not wood related, as if I needed to say that.

Didn't know there were any.

Sombre, staid, without humour certainly but prestigious?

Must be fishing as with that you can tell tall tales like woodworking.

Mr. Termite,
I shall refrain from "laying it on you", in the interests of improving the general standards of the forum.
You are quite right to point to the deplorable standards and manners that exist on this forum and I shall henceforth endevour to mend my ways.
How Sir, I beg you, is that?

Naaaah... I bet its a Doll Making Forum... special "lifelike" Dolls too.

**AlexS** · 26th February 2006, 04:38 PM

Clinton, sir, how could you imply that our respected Termite is a closet doll-diddler? A man of his many talents could, I'm sure, turn his hand to a wide range of cultural pursuits, such as flower arranging, lace-making or perhaps even ice-dancing (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Don't you worry about what everyone's saying about you Termite, it's probably not true.

That's it isn't it? It's lace-making. It is - I'll bet it is!

You're Termite the Tatter, aren't you?:eek: Come on, Term me old mite. Tell us .... It is! It's lace-making. You've been secretly tatting away without letting on and now the Yanks have gone and awarded you some major lace-making gong: The Tennessee Triennial Tatting Trophy - or something equally prestigious. That's it, isn't it?

I think Termie is trying (or has joined) the Morris Ring to satisfy his secret lust for Morris Dancing:eek:

Windscreen wiper blade sharpening?

To cut the story short, while reading the rules and regs I had to laugh, because I reccon that with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions, yes 1 or 2, the members of this forum would last about 30 seconds.

Al and Me?

**craigb** · 26th February 2006, 08:28 PM

Are you sure you want to join a forum that would have you as a member?

(To paraphrase Groucho Marx)
