To start a THIRD thread that no-one responds to?

[AverageGayLad]

VanillaSugar gave me the honour of continuing this into the third thread, since she's busy cooking meth and probably won't even appear on this although like the previous two nobody will respond.

How fast can we fill this one?

Pics of our virtual boyfriends, random facts, bad puns all welcome! No need to keep up with us, nobody ever can

In the words of toadgirl - "Life is a smorgasbord. There should be all kinds of threads for all kinds of people and moods. Why not?"

You're doing sterling work there, jet!

Actually, we're not doing too badly - third thread was only started late Sunday night! (The first one took about 10-11days to get to 1000!)

I'm watching a bbc4 book about ladybird books. I'm sooo productive.

Just working out

Have had a visit from the Police

I read about your DD, Portia!

What an awful experience for the poor girl. So glad her boyf was with her.

What are the Police saying?

Car has been retrieved and is now getting new lights and number plate.

Police were very uncommital but took a statement from dd who is ok.

Is the driver being charged with anything?

I am actually not responding today rather than pretending to not respond. Much like my never to be mentioned again THING.

Insurance company informed.
Gran is here taking charge and I'm grateful.

The very dishy constable mentioned something about threatening behaviour towards a minor. Dd is 2 months from being an adult.

Any hooooooose Gran says get off that net contraption and make some lunch . Better do as I'm told !

That was cryptic, Noone! I'm still working on it...

Hellooooo

noone We can discuss my situation as much as you like, I don't care, nobody responds to this thread anyway

Portia Those two months make all the difference!

OK - some facts about 3, since we're on Thread No 3!

Three has always been considered a mystical and magical number. It is important in many religions including Christianity with its Holy Trinity.

It is the number that crops up time after time in Fairy Tales: The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs etc. Characters in Fairy tales are always given three wishes, or three days to do something (eg guess Rumpelstiltskin's name). There are always three princesses - Cinderella and the two ugly sisters, for example.

The magic of three is everywhere in Shakespeare - there were three witches in Macbeth, three caskets for the suitors to choose from in The Merchant of Venice (gold, silver and lead) and King Lear had three daughters - one good and two evil.

The magic of three is seen in oratory where groups or lists of three are recognised as being a powerful, persuasive device. The Romans, masters of the art of rhetoric, called it the "tricolon" and worked as many as possible into their speeches. Caesar declared: "I came, I saw, I conquered" and Mark Antony addressed his audience as "Friends, Romans and Countrymen".

The number 7 is also a magical number but we'll leave that discussion for another thread...

Better Those are some cool facts, but couldn't you have split them into three posts?

AGL everyone's a critic

(See what I did there!)

To prove my point, I think we should list as many stories, poems or songs with the number 3 in them. Excellent for the post count! Nursery rhymes count too! Also films.

Feel free to throw them into the discussion whenever you think of any.

I'll start with: Three Blind Mice

OK - here's a film. Three Days of the Condor (starting Robert Redford)

Lion king - 3 hyenas

Three Time Loser (Rod Stewart)

"3" By Britney

Three Times A Lady (Lionel Richie)
