Spoofs, Jokes and Trolls

Right.

I want a serious debate about this.

I started a joke thread, in my own name as usual, about a neighbour stealing a spoon.

It was questioned as "trolling" and I got told off by Rebecca at MNHQ.

Are spoofs and/or jokes no longer allowed?

Since when?

And why?

What do people think about spoofs, jokes and trolls and the difference theereof?

Hello Loverrrrrrrrrrs.

I am incognito. And sober. Neither of these things are particularly fun at the moment so I have come here to be amused, while listening with ahlf an ear to Phil Spencer and his inyourendo.

It is shit out there.

I might spend the next few years in a drunken stupor.

MyOtherNameIsFunnier · 27/03/2013 20:17

Ah that was a shite cross post. Sorry BIWI, my lovely.

Monsieur Levi Roots is endorsing some pineapple crush thingy. This vodka is a veritable taste of Asda the Caribbean.

Long story short, then moving back into larking mode:

No business since Dec. Two projects commissioned in Jan - hurrah! - start work, client cancels. Cancellation charges due. Twatface client refuses to pay. Sends nasty solicitor letter. No funds to take them to court for money well due to us.

EostreChaoticResurrEggtion · 27/03/2013 20:17

Yes, all wankers welcome.

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 20:20

Bloody hell biwi that's terrible. I am really sorry that must be such a worry and heartbreak. Could the client be just a bastard stringing it out and will pay at the last minute?

Kneecapping too good, Hully. Too quick.

I'm off Outside to the Drinks Fridge in The Shed for some tonic. I may be some time...

Showy is that you?

HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet · 27/03/2013 20:24

Aaaaaaaaaages BIWI that's shit.

We went under partly because of 9/11 but mainly cause some fucker went bust on us with 40k worth of stock on our shop floor.

We managed to get enough back to pay people we owed by visiting him in his fucking mansion that he got to keep, and being very charming.

HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet · 27/03/2013 20:25

Aaaaaaaaaw. Even.
