Stevo985 Posted November 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2023 On a fairly regular basis I find myself humming the You've Been Framed theme tune to myself. I haven't watched You've been framed in at least a decade. Probably 2 decades. It's not a particularly good theme tune. I can't think of anything that sounds similar that I hear regularly that could put it into my head. Why does this happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be great to hear from him and that he's in a better place There's a few that sometimes spring to mind for me. I also sometimes wonder if anyone on here would know if I'd died. My brother stalks but doesn't post to the site so he might say something. I doubt my wife would bother to log on and tell people. Macabre thoughts.

If think if we combine the British isles as one then I'm sure we would give anyone a run for their money in the drinking race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! Being on this site for close to nearly 20 years now (wow, where did the time go) I too have random moments where I think about/remember certain posters and a 'where are they now' on occasions. I suppose many of us could fire up a quick list of names of 'posters' that pop into our heads. Not to the extreme where I wanted start a thread though titled 'Missing Posters - where are they now' but it does get you thinking atleast, where are they now!?

Macabre thoughts. An infrequent poster on here knows me so I'll give him some instructions about what to do in the event of my untimely demise. Put up some photos of my shed themed coffin and the like. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no offence intended of course and leaving out the political stuff. But as a whole - England, Ireland, Rep of Ireland, Scotland & Wales. I class us all as one anyway. Again, I'm sure we could all give those other countries a run for their money in the drinking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2023 I think about the death thing a lot, as I think about topping myself quite often and this is basically the only record of my being around at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely my angle of thought on it. I mean I've done things which are recorded in official documents and some things in local papers, but they don't give a good picture of me in the slightest. As a person. Whereas here, if people were remotely interested they'd get a pretty good sense of what makes me tick, my likes, my dislikes, my politics and so on.

Completely agree with what @blandysaid, don't top yourself. Never met you but always enjoy your posts and if you did who is going to keep the MCU thread on track.

lapal_fan Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Yea, if you kill yourself, I'll murder you. Maybe changing your avatar from Death to something like a fluffy bunny would change your outlook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, no way. We can't be a Pratchett man down. Seriously, get some help if this is playing on your mind a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2023 Is there a serious increase in bed bugs or is everything absolutely normal and it's just the trendy thing for the press to report on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
