I know that Jellybean said it was ok to wander off topic but cdnmatt's post is way off topic. But what is new about that?

Oh-oh! It’s that damnably out-of-control rogue poster Jellybean to blame yet again.
It could all have been predicated, let him back on the forum to post again and there will be nothing but outrage and carnage as he upsets all the superannuated long term members and tears up the rule book on posting guidelines.
If I were you françois, I‘d take him out and give him a damn good flogging when you see him in Pattaya next week. But be careful, the wretched blighter might just enjoy it.

I feel as if I've been horse-whipped by an out-of-control jelly bean. Now I know how the murderous monk in in the Da Vinci Code felt:
I plead guilty Jelly-B ... apparently having forgotten the gist of so many of your posts. Hell, even how you are able to remember so many at your age of 106 is beyond me.
As for myself, early onset dementia might be suggested as a cause, but I have yet to be officially diagnosed.
Naturally, now I must make amends by bloody-well reading every single one of your posts since 1965. I begin tomorrow after my dental implant surgery at Bangkok Hospital [Hua Hin] .
As for you ... you still got it Babe!
Your prose in your/my 'Evisceration Post' above is absolutely formidable, and a pleasure to read ... so long as one is a closet masochist like myself.

What a deliciously funny image you conjured up in the above sentence, Smiles. It made me laugh out loud. Cheers!
Er, em . . . much as I hate to correct such an esteemed member such as yourself, but I’m 107 years old, actually. There will, of course, be doubters, but I have saved all the birthday telegrams from the Queen to prove it.

After such a dreadful day spent at the government offices - combining repeated traumatic incidents with mind-numbing boredom - I'm pleased to see that you still maintained unimpaired the ability to check out and give the nod of approval to a handsome man when appropriate. You are a fine, upstanding member of this forum, Sir, who, by demonstrating the ability to uphold its fine traditions at even the darkest hour, certainly deserves to be reinstated for life (if not longer).
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society."

Jellybeans recent posts have been interesting, useful, humorous, self-deprecating, relevant to many here, well written., not insulting and generally a bloody good show.
Therefore it is only apposite that the lifetime or longer ban be lengthened. Here here.

Quite. A few more posts from those who do little but come in to a thread to 'av a go' or 'make jokes' about other members might be a good idea because in all probability those days are likely numbered.
