You still in work though?

If they ban people taking pics then @Buckster will be totally unaffected!

They don't mind gore or hate speech.....but they'll suspend you for weeks if you post a nipple! I've had a couple of 7 day bans for nipples! And they weren't even my nipples! And I also had a 14 day ban cos I posted a photo of a bird on a Vespa where you could see her minge! Probably best I don't post my minge on there then!

That caused yours Alan? What washing powder was it?

What restrictions you got there Ian?

I tell you something I've noticed though.......remember years ago when forums were thriving? And more often than not, the owner of the Forum would assume the role of Forum God! Just cos he'd uploaded some files (or got somebody to do it for him) they thought they were some sort of Supreme Being. Completely autocratic in every way......in fact some thought they were Judge Dredd! They saw their role as judge, jury, and executioner, and never missed an opportunity to exert their authority. I think they saw their job as some sort of nightclub bouncer! And then there's the trickle down effect where Mods follow the same path. I always saw it as more of a Butlins Redcoat, compere, meet and greet sort of gig. Just uploading some files doesn't make me more important than anybody else. And it doesn't give me any special rights or privileges. Well anyway......forums have struggled over the last 10 years and FB groups are now the thing. And in some cases (not all) the guy who started the group suffers from the Forum God complex. The irony is they didn't upload any files, it didn't cost them a penny.......and the Group isn't even their property, It's Facebook's! They can shut it down whenever they like for whatever reason they like. And they will......we've seen how they do business with them nuking our signup app for no reason. They're just useful idiots to Facebook.......they're allowed to play Forum God as long as they keep supplying people whose data can then be used by Facebook in whichever way they see fit.

My boy in Poland has had a much milder Winter than us! When you get to the point that the Winters are easier in the east of Poland (near the Ukraine border) than in Southern Spain.......there's something very strange going on.

-2C at 10AM......only 4C now! Patches of ice on the road too. I think today's going to be a no-show!

When Old Greasers Go Bad!

As an update FB even signed up on here to investigate the forum.......under the name sallymay. So I just nuked them......not even an incoherent warning PM to them first. I didn't get where I am today by sending incoherent warning PMs.

I was in Junior School in Swansea at the time getting the cane at the time for being disruptive! I told them I was innocent......cos I was in Dallas on the grassy knoll at the time.

I need to step up the Marketing Campaign then.....how about "Losing the will to live because of Facebook? Join our forum and we'll give you plenty more reasons to lose the will to live".

I'm waiting to be accused of assassinating JFK next!

.......by Facebook! No......not me.....this site! This situation has been ongoing, but I didn't say anything until the situation was resolved......one way or another. What happened was I received an e-mail: "We've disabled this app for violating the Facebook Platform Policies". It relates to the sign up facility here where people can join through their Facebook account. So they disabled it to stop people joining through their platform. They can't influence anything on this site.......but they can stop people joining up through FB. There was no explanation in the mail as to how we violated the Facebook Platform Policies........so I put in an appeal asking them to clarify. This morning I received this: "Your app has been restored. We will continue to review your app so you may see further messages from us if other violations on your platform are found". Other violations? They couldn't even tell me what the first violation was. Nothing has changed on here, and nothing has been deleted. So you can draw your own conclusions on this incident. Accused of something that never happened? Seems to be an epidemic of this shit going round at the moment! It's no secret that Facebook will allow pretty much anything on their platform, sell your info, and if the money's right they'll even allow political disinformation in order to subvert democracy. But we're too hot to handle apparently! So it's official......we've achieved the status we had back in 2002......The Bad Boys of the Internet!

Look at the rust on that!

Six and the Mods on another forum......

I just hope they're not still bullying him there!

.......if it was still 1985!

There was dust on my Beak! Gone now! Cos that sort of shit can get you killed!

Once......maybe twice on a weekend if I'm lucky. Nothing in the week.

I haven't been pale for 15 years......my skin is much darker now than it was back in Britain. My hair is also much whiter!

If that's what it takes to get the fuck out of Cardiff then it's worth it!

Can't go too far Pedro.....I'm always on call and I have other commitments here due to Ali's osteoarthritis! It's a man's life as a modern Pensioner!

And for the first time since Xmas I should be out! Sunday in particular is looking pretty good! I can't leave Andalucia......so crossing into Murcia is out of the question! Apart from that I'm good to go! And I really need to get out after the crazy weather we've endured! So what are you lot up to?

Anything front viewing Eric?
