Dickie Normuss Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Right you lot! You seem like my kinda peeps but there only seems to be a few here who inhabit this area away from "the grown ups" 😬 I would like to join, is there a membership fee, fitness test, confidentiality clause to sign etc etc 🤔 Also, could you bring me upto speed on the following things? -why the universal war on various foods, esp cucumber? -what does GOG stand for -does boonie work as a typist (you're always on here!) -if I join your crusade against normalness will I be shunned by others? Thank you for bringing my life enlitenment. I have been your captain for this post. Please return seat backs and tray tables to their upright positions. The emergengy exits are here here and here. 😬 Seek forgiveness, not permission. Is it easy to rob a bank and get away with it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Wilson Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 A GOG is a grumpy old git. A GOG is generally intolerant of UTs, or unfunny tossers, what be us. The war against cucumbers, increased popularisation of the bikesheds and terming of GOGs and UTs are all related. Very simply there was a big barny because of the number / nature of postings upstairs, some people got upset and others ran away to mock from afar. Miss Fullharness kindly allows us to cohabit down here where we enjoy pointless wibble that doesn't upset those upstairs.

allen Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 GOGs - Grumpy Old Gits Not so much a crusade against normalness, merely a realization that normalness is a crutch for those who can't handle excesive amounts of wibble, that and we're happier playing with people of our own mental age 😬 (and I use the term 'mental' advisedly PS, think you will find FH quite secure in her sexuality and she will only lightly roast your parsnip Guess that 'seek forgiveness...' line comes in real handy real often?

not a Postman Pat Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 This reminds me of something I keep meaning to ask - in the interests purely of researching the heritage of the bikesheds, any chance of some links to the old posts that started the GOG/UT divide? As I sometimes can't resist the temptation to intervene in the grown-up world (it must be the E-numbers in those Fruit Shoots I drink), I'd like to know the dangers I face ...

Rachael Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 If you want to find out the reasons that led to the founding of the bikeshed, you should probably search the archive using - cucumber, dusk, hijack, unfuuny and tossers as your search terms, I also seem to recall a thread entitled dusk of blatchat... Beware though it does not make pleasant reading for all us young bikeshed folk As for membership of the 'shed...there is no initiation as such. As long as you can cope with Hoopy wibble and you have some strong feelings about cucumber, are not a GOG (either love it or hate it 😬) and make sure that you don't hijack people when they are genuinely testing (because Mr Barry might get upset and kick us all out - and we really don't want that) then you will be most welcome here in the bikesheds - welcome!

Laurence Wilson Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Rachael is correct. To learn more find the thread titled The Dusk Of Blatchat 😳! Just don't post in it please. We could do without that being dragged back to the top. Peardrop Edited by - Peardrop on 1 May 2003 09:54:38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Birtwisle Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 You really should find the thread that started it all .... the one where Rach offers to buy Paul's children ... I think it started life as a "what the postman brough/LowFLying" thread" and became somewhat hijacked .... 😬 Do you share a hate for Cucumber ric 🤔 ps Welcome to the wonderful world of wibble 😬 S713UMY 1.8K Viper Blue and Black Edited by - abirtwisle on 1 May 2003 12:48:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not a Postman Pat Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 By the way, before any offence is taken, I was not making any reference to Paul's kids in particular (I don't know them!) 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳 It was merely disbelief that anyone would not offload their kids on another carer for free Pat and his not quite black and white cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Ah yes, but remember you are talking about Paul's smallest and nicest child....any of the others I am sure he would part with for free....this is different though 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I need the money, it was either the kids or the Seven, I'm sure they'll be very happy in the labs at GSK in Stevenage having drugs tested on them. It would have worked too if Crickers hadn't bugged the wrong house The jungle took him Parp Ooops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Normuss Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 😬This is just what I need after a pants day at work I can't be a GOG because, well, I'm not grumpy and I'm certainly not old! I too share this universal hate of cucumbers, what a pointless food 🙆🏻 Do they glow if you pass mains electricity through them like marrows do? Could we make an electric chair for them I'm sure westfield use them as driveshafts Seek forgiveness, not permission. Is it easy to rob a bank and get away with it???
