"My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains For tedious forum posts really stunk" (with apologies to John Keats) If the ancient Who's Whining list was reborn today, there would be many contenders for the top spots. But one family would, as a collective, challenge all-comers and beat them down by sheer volume alone. You know how it goes; you innocently traipse onto the forum for a quick read, see what the latest happenings are, when a sense of dread approaches. A wall of text. Complaints about whatever latest development has occurred. Harking back to some ill-defined golden-age when Things were Better (though when this was, who can say, as the moaning has been a constant from the start). Obsession with the most minor of issues, like the evils of people selling hand-made goods in shops cheaper than some others do - yes, clearly this is the great problem bringing society to its knees. Turning up late to whine about stuff long after it has already been resolved. And, of course, the multiple bloody posts in a row. AAARRRGGGHHHH! "Just skip their posts", you might say. That would make sense, yes. Unfortunately I have this affliction whereby I insist on reading everything and not putting anyone on forum ignore, even those who annoy the everloving shit out of me. That is my tragedy. They are my curse. Edit: Oh that voice... I'll be in my bunk

I can't sleep (add a hacking cough based cold on top of rampant insomnia for Top Fun), and the nice man from Asda is bringing me groceries in about 5 hours anyway. So, to fill in some time rather than do anything remotely productive, I hereby present some Random Popo Shit. You're welcome.
Everyone's favourite Melboonian dictator, Ms Mason Bolger, slightly flipped out on her last birthday, and so mysteriously found a way to become younger again. She also seems to be trying to regain her lost youth by means of frequent vaginal exercises, bless her. Well if it's good enough for her heroine, Random Doc Snuggles chick... Will it last? Who knows. She's been in mourning way too long though, that's for sure. The kiddiwinks continue their thrilling existences as ever: Jer on doctor/newbie help/staring into space enigmatically duties; Banj welded to the damn uni to keep classes running and bemoaning said state of affairs; and Algy going for thrilling career change with a move from propping up the uni to propping up the stadium. One day they will have proper lives, one day... Oh and Beckett is being a one year old. He's going to be a vintage baby, btw, growing into a vintage boy, teen and adult. And thus he will not quite be living in the same world as those around him. Well I say that, there were grand plans for Banj and Algy too, and that never went anywhere. Lack of time/badly timed disillusionism with all things popo/puppet lady just generally being a bit shit at these things. C'est la vie. Besh whut? We re playing a game,don't start to throw your poops here please. *winkles like a besh* Btw you re 44 years and u dunno whatcha say in here! So sit down,relax and answer the last question who asked (oh it seems like I asked a question,what a coincidence) and remember to ask another one. Thats how we play,your welcome *smiles with all of the teeth* I think she likes me.
Hi, I saw the below sentence on my character Background & Misc page: Jesus fucking wept.
