Zombie

and while the poorly penguin is NOT whisked off to a maximum security facility for the Terminally Deluded and Deranged... Edited to foil the penguin’s sneaky word tricks

spoilsport how else am I gonna annoy people? oh wait! SNATCH! aaaaahahahaha!

night night little bear sleep tight *tucks LBO in... very tight! * no more shiny stealing tonight

zombie doesn’t need nasty penguin’s luck just a snorkel and water Pepsi wings and the nasty penguin’s luck just ran out *presses speed dial for the mobile pie factory*

zombie escapesies the nasty dungeon.. ...and eatsies the nasty penguin *except the nasty flippers and gristley bits*

don’t forget the comedy flippers

secret filming of the penguin’s “fearsome” LPWland “army” engaged in close-combat battle training...

it’s useless fawning over the Wild Man because, estimable though he may be, he has no power to anoint you as The Chosen One that’s why I give praise to the magnificence that is the Majestic Bird - or BOP as some here rather disrespectfully call him a proper bird with real wings real wings that work! swooping, soaring and flying not pretend wings not good-for-nothing, pointless stubby little flipperettes

It’s a Sin starts in 1981 Three of the young lead guys escape their provincial family homes to live in London, starting work / college, making friends, having sex (or not) Sharp script from RTD and great cast - period-authentic, shocking (the attitudes, the ties, the first death), the humour, the hedonism, the innocence, the ignorance, the rumours (gay flu, GRID), the denial, the fear, the shame - and the fun Recognisable, but also alien Like a parallel universe Our past but largely forgotten Because so many died First gay pub scene has the mandatory 1981 hit Tainted Love iconically covered by Soft Cell (Marc Almond and David Ball) with a fabuloso video

not as good as boiled penguin eggs *chomp chomp* *burp*

*puts pan on stove* licks lips...

Update I’ve been digging around the iPad’s settings: Settings>Safari>Experimental Features> select “HTTP/3” - On select “Automatic HTTPS upgrade” - On The URL image posting issue now seems fixed (don’t know which of the above did this) so any other iPad users with this issue should try these settings too

thanks for the widget explanation - understand now Yes, it seems this is an issue with ipads Safari is the browser provided by Apple and recommended for security (banking passwords etc) so I’m reluctant to use others Another issue I’ve just found with the new GA software upgrade and text editor - it won’t let me post image links: here it asks for image URL I enter Wikipedia image link Wikipedia image link is rejected ??

escapesies...

while the penguin’s being unwell...

Still can’t see a “widget” - there used to be a little cog wheel giving access to tools but not seen that for some time Just tried this and still no strike out button for Status Updates Good news - the forums now have this, so I’m guessing you were able to make a change - thanks for that Bad news, still not there for Games / Last Post Wins

poor LBO’s been burglarised again by the Evil One

I must be hopeless Safari browser is set to Desktop as per Settings (previous post) Safari GA webpage also confirms set to Desktop: Can’t see a “sidebar widget” anywhere: Can’t see an option in my “profile” Don’t know what to do

Just checked Settings and it has been selected Settings>Safari>Request Desktop Website>All Websites On iPad 6 iOS 14.e Like I said, this feature is available to me now as I type this in the Help forum text editor (to the right of bold italic and underline) and it always used to be available before the recent update - but I can’t remember if that was by default or I had to select “Full text editor” mode which no longer seems available

Can’t find the “strike” button in forum thread or Status Update text editors - it’s here in the Help forum (I’m looking at it ) but not elsewhere . I think I remember there used to be an option to go to “full” editor or something but I can’t see that either

sneaky and sneaks must be punished *snatch!*

Well 22 January is the day It’s a Sin premiers in the UK Friday on Channel 4, and next day in Australia In a radio interview on Monday RTD said it’s taken him 5 years to write this. As Marty said, he has used his own experiences of “growing up” in the 80s together with his friends (many of whom are now dead) so it’s going to have that authentic thread of a “personal life” that no writing mass production team can ever replicate, and there’ll just be five episodes. That’s it. This is the key difference with UK v US shows - UK shows are generally written by one person or a writing partnership, while US shows are written by teams to keep the money rolling in for the production companies. So if there is a US “remake” then it will be a totally different show and probably run for 5 seasons Interestingly (controversially?) RTD said he feels strongly that gay parts should be played by gay actors. One of the three leads, Olly Alexander, would probably qualify as a 100 footer, but I don’t know about the others.

absolutely it was pure mind entertainment and no penguins were harmed in these posts... more lies and misdirection from the penguin we all know there’ll be none left for its starving and malnourished “army” ...because the penguin will have got there first!
