Such a minor request, but it would make me inordinately joyful.

Thanks.

but mine was invented by a 2 year old and he doesn't understand capitals :)

FebreezeYourJeans · 18/04/2011 20:33

Oh..... I get it now, Tethers End, as in end of the tether. DOH
In my head you've always been Tether Send.

Just thought I'd pop in and see if Chaos' eyes exploded Smile

Blatherskite · 18/04/2011 20:37

See Tethers, you need capitals :)

It would seem so... but I'm all frumpy!

I hope you're happy Chaos, I really do.

If I win more arguments more people listen to me tonight than normal, then I'll keep the capitals. If not, I shall throw them off like a Boden 'funky' cardigan and run to the Vivienne Westwood dress of my lower case moniker.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 18/04/2011 21:31

Tethers, you look gawjus hun, lol.

Er.. ot but why are your posts no longer highlighted in this thread Chaos? Is it just mn or has my brain got kaput and it's time for bed?

Notice how my name is already capitalised in all the right places, people who do it wrong annoy me too. Although the "AP" in "InAPurple" does annoy me because there are no little letters inbetween.

ShinyMoonInAPurpleSky · 18/04/2011 21:38

ok have caught up on the thread and I get it now (doh!)

ShinyMoonInAPurpleSky · 18/04/2011 21:39

Ok quite clearly my brain has gone kaput because otherwise I wouldn't have said "has my brain got kaput".

Going now. Nighty night!

I'm not colourful anymore as I had to change my nickname as it was pointed out to me that I had name-changed incorrectly after my easter name change failure.

Argh, I'm not sure if I like it. Bloody hell I'm easily led though.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 18/04/2011 21:59

It's absolutely lovely, if it wasn't for the content, it would just exude gravitas.

Even my eyes exploded gibbonzot

JellyBeansOnToast · 18/04/2011 22:08

You've done gone and broken my here heart, Chaos.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 18/04/2011 22:23
RedbinD · 18/04/2011 22:25

Capitalised at both ends.

JellyBeansOnToast · 18/04/2011 23:44

In a non sex kitty manner. In the right and proper manner of purring.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 18/04/2011 23:48

Oh you proper pussy.

RedbinD, I like your bookendy style.

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck · 19/04/2011 06:49

Better?

nickelbaalamb · 19/04/2011 10:38

Youremindmeofthebabe - you're right - when you were no caps, it flowed exactly like the song.
as soon as you put the caps in, it went You...Remind...Me...of...The...Babe.

YouRemindMeOfTheBabe · 20/04/2011 17:18

I knew it!

Thanks, nickelbaa.

GabbyLoggon · 20/04/2011 17:28

Capitalisation seems to be controversial on all message boards with some people.

I see it as a niggle; rather than the 3rd world war

GabbyLoggon · 20/04/2011 17:30

we need to bring some humour into rules. Men should only be able to capitalise if they have a 9 inch dick (in repose)
