Somtimes this site is like a giant jacuzzi filled with pure oestrogen

...and tonight is an example. Can you imagine a man-centric site displaying such excitement, joy, fear and disapproval because someone reformatted its talkboard?

BTW, I'm not saying that the oestrogen-jacuzzi vibe is a bad thing.

It's gorgeous. And even it it wasnt, it can be sorted.

I wonder how some people can afford the time to get their knickers in a twist about such trivialities

flip doesn't work for me either. how can i do it so it is permanently flipped?

Twitsthatgobumpinthenight · 25/10/2007 20:23

what the feck dickens is a munter. I too thought it looked wrong with z's.

Hi, Wisty

Yes, Pointy, the swifto-munter. How fecking bizarre.

But hey ho! Dh has just produced a home-made shepherd's pie, so needs must .....

Which do was that? The swinging thread? Or when you were pounced on by a fast-attacking munter?

Wisteria · 25/10/2007 20:16

hi desi xx

OED does everything with a z, 'tis why I prefer Chambers, at least it gives you a choice...

You are so right, wonks.

You are so absolutely right.

And so many others are plain Wrong

TheEvilDediderata · 25/10/2007 20:09

I don't particularly like it either, which is why I checked.

I assumed that the 'Z' was an Americanism. Not so. It says so in the OED, so it must be right!

If you look back to old English texts, it was littered with 'Z's'.

Anyone studying old English text would probably agree .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 25/10/2007 20:07

I don't like customise with a z. It's just plain wrong.

Well, I no longer need to worry about 'flipping'. I am back to normal.

It's changed sooo much since I joined up, I remember the days before we even had the sceptical face smiley and everything was just so simple!

Twitsthatgobumpinthenight · 25/10/2007 20:01

but you can do that, you can set it so it is permanently flipped.
grumpy old sow silly sausage.

TheEvilDediderata · 25/10/2007 19:59

I've changed mine back to MN classic. Call me a grumpy old sow (yeah I know, bring it on), but when I tried to flip so that the most recent message was at the top of the screen, it wouldn't play ball.

I can cope with the newness ... but I can't cope with trawling through the pages.

But did I complain?

Nah
