"No, I haven't any "funny stories" about mobility scooters."
You don't????
Oh, I have TONS! You need to come and live in Sidmouth for a while... I'm going to have a sparkly piypul one, with a 'Show of Hands 4 EVER!' flag on it, fluttering wildly in the breeze!
"My understanding of that particular remark is that the Ed found it mildly funny"
Nope, you said, over on Myspace, that Ian had found that remark VERY funny. It was the same you told me about meeting fiona, and Ian meeting her too. I zink yoo muzt be getting forgetful... :0)
>>>"Actually, I don't remember Ian ever being amused by your comments, Lizzie, but I'm probably wrong. I don't think Diane or Fiona found many of them funny, either.
Normally Ian posts on any thread on this board (and the BBC one) that attacks him or fRoots. I've no doubt he's followed this thread but has retained his dignity by not posting, giving no-one a chance to make attacks that are even more personal and offensive."<<<<
Oh, for Gawd's sake, Chris, DO see the funny side of things now and again. Ian, Diane and I, for your information, used to have a riotous time on the BBC, outdoing each other with wit and dry, black humour. It brought LOADS of people into that board, and lit it up.
Diane can be a little er...erm...now and again, but I've always appreciated her humour and she can be bloody funny at times! Also, for your information, Diane, Ian and I, have, at various times, all spoken to each other 'behind the scenes', sometimes with **!*!*!* flying around and sometimes not.
You, along with just a few others, spoilt a great threesome and helped to make the BBC board a shadow of it's former self. NONE of you knew what I was about, what I was trying to do, what I did....because you were all so busy willing to be led astray by someone with a deeply personal (and totally bizarre) grudge that you lost your sense of humour along the way and that board lost something special...and THAT was an absolute passion for the music. Now, the most passionate it gets is when one of you spots me, and you all jump and down running to teacher about it.."Miss, MISS, she's over THERE, LOOOOK!"....spending so much time pressing the darned complaints button that you don't even probably read half of what's on the board in the first place...
And now, I'll leave you all to go running to Joe about me, and give him a headache, so he'll come to me and tell me not to be on this thread anymore.
Sooooo bizarre!
Anyways ups, I expect Ian thinks that video is a hoot...and of course, Diane will have spluttered all over her desk whilst watching it..
Get Diane to give you some humour lessons, life will be much more fun.
Oh..and no need to grovel to Ian, he's quite capable of looking after himself.
