Yeah........about as important as the $14.40 chow mein thread
I hate to tell you this Suze but until we were dumped on your doorstep, every thread on here was crap. Honestly.....are word games that exciting?

No to be truthful, the other forum was pretty boring now that I look back on it. Same crap day in day out. Half a dozen posters at best. Enjoying this forum with a new bunch of people very much. A lot more interesting and a lot less messy.
In my view, all active site members obviously have discretionary leisure time needs to fulfill. Some compete in chess games only; others also contribute to private and/or public forums. Lively threads with relevant topics of interest provide a focal point for conversation and discussion while "Word Games" provide a cameo venue for those with limited time. I for one welcome the geographic and cultural diversity present on this forum.

Soon we'll be taking root here in the GF, bagging our favourite seats, bringing in food and generally putting our feet up! 🙂

Originally posted by StartreaderYou can bring a warren Zevon album along. Good chilling music for late in the night. We need someone to bring something upbeat to get it cranking along.
I know a nice song about werewolves! 🙂
Startreader, can you make some space over the back there. And watch out for the word puzzlers. Wouldn't want to disturb their games. Sorry dudes, we'll keep it down to a dull roar.
Ssshhhh......will you check out those nerds with their dictionaries. Might have to drag one of them up for boogie on the dance floor.

Originally posted by moonbusGreat choice. A bit of Thin Lizzy will get it cranking. Now you're getting into the spirit.
...err, "The Boys Are Back In Town" ?
Yeah guys, liven up this Geriatric Forum a bit !
Moonbus, you're on cheese and bickies. Those word nerds are not going to know what hit em.

No....it means you have Dr Jurd's Jungle Juice (an Australian alcoholic delicacy) with your vegemite and toast. Oatmeal? Are you a horse?
I shall submit a petition regarding the Dr. Jurd's Jungle Juice to Nurse Ratched.
