It's not too much to suggest, is it? Instead of mithering all of cyberspace..just a thought.

And of course if you just googled the question, you wouldn't get MN gems such as someone asking about their washing machine and it turning into a catfight about the ins and outs of whether it's ethical to imprison jam in doughnuts.

AgentZigzag · 24/08/2011 01:07

I couldn't believe you set it up for me Grin

Honeydragon · 24/08/2011 01:11

I think we've pretty much fucked up any further chance of philosophical debate on Pans thread now, but it was worth it Grin

Pan · 24/08/2011 01:15

Thumbwitch · 24/08/2011 01:24

oh dear, I so could turn this into a Friday night thread now but am too Blush to carry it off!

Moving swiftly on...

Honey - I actually took your "purple" at face value and thought you were referring to purple prose (aka the lengthy posts some posters produce when a simple YABU or YANBU would do [guilty emoticon])

Pan - YABU in the main, but in some cases YANBU. HTH! Grin

Pan · 24/08/2011 01:26

Thumb - it err..helps massively! Good night.

OP posts:
Thumbwitch · 24/08/2011 01:29

AgentZigzag · 24/08/2011 01:39

Thumbwitch · 24/08/2011 01:47

TheMagnificentBathykolpian · 24/08/2011 07:41

Pan! When did you come home? Grin

Pan · 25/08/2011 12:10

Magnificent! Missed this, greetings.

Was away from 'home' doing a lot of extra work in RL - wasn't as demanding as I thought it would be.Smile

Pan · 25/08/2011 12:11

OP posts:
Thumbwitch · 25/08/2011 12:23

Oh poo. it's not :(

aquashiv · 25/08/2011 12:32

You can say that about most questions.
Then we wouldnt have all of the hilarious responses.
YAB too sensible.

SurprisEs · 25/08/2011 12:38

People's personal experiences and opinions can, at times, be more helpful then something stated as fact on a google finding.

scuzy · 25/08/2011 12:41

did you know that if you google "google" you break the internet?????

Pan · 25/08/2011 12:46

There is somewhere a link to 'the last page of the internet'.

OP posts:
Suncottage · 25/08/2011 12:49

What sauce goes well with pasta?

Where can I find shoes in London?

Who wrote this song? [hums a few lines]

How fast am I going?

Help!

Also if you type Gooogle (spelt that way) it used to link you to ASK.com. I lurrved the ASK people for getting that one in.

HopeEternal · 25/08/2011 13:04
