First topic message reminder :

Happy New Year 2019 everyone!

This is quite interesting in a "Tino" kind of way, he would've liked this if he wasn't dead.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46194383

He would be highly aroused by the photograph.

Maybe aroused from the dead?

You’d need a photo of a couple of old dears frolicking in their bloomers to arouse Tino from the dead.

Maybe I should reset his password, log on as him, and we can all pretend he's returned. Of course, I'd need to dumb it down a bit to be believable.

It could well spice things up a bit.

Login, state you are doing V.4 and then leave, sit back and watch the storm happen.

Two orange beetles copulating on a leaf and the male suffering from infertility which he then passes on to his psychotic son. Julius is right, surely a wet dream for Tino.

Maybe he is popping one off the wrist as we speak, or he would be if he was alive of course.

I wouldn’t mind being coxy for a day if you’re resetting passwords.

That sounds a bit gay.

Get an account and go on here, always cheers me up, what a bunch of spunktrumpets.

I used to enjoy winding people up on the Daily Mail site, once had a comment on how best to kill meerkats with a crossbow removed due to the offence it caused. They used to have articles with photos on everyday nature occurences like, for example, a lion killing a wildebeest as though it was news. Post a comment along the lines of ‘lol, I hate wildebeest’ and watch the threats and hatred pour in.

It amuses me to think that there are people on there using and creating portmanteaus and then sitting back and laughing and congratulating themselves on how clever they are, and how everyone else is an idiot.

wankpuffins...

I intend to use the word ‘portmanteau’ tomorrow. It will rile the angry Kiwi something chronic.

Tell him to chillax.

Lol out loud.

Wotcha dudes, what's going down in groove town?

Fist.

Sexton.

Not much Rick.

Except that I got 'microstung' by a wasp today. As I walked past my lavender plants it flew right at my face so I got my fist in between and connected with it. It was more like a table tennis bat action on my part than a full fist. Anyway, in that microsecond of contact it managed to leave 3 little marks just below the finger nail on my index finger.

Pain scale: 4/10 only. Aggressive little bugger!

I assume it was not one of the myriad of flora or fauna that can kill?

I have never been stung by a wasp or a bee, happily.

It wasn't that big. About 15-20mm long with yellow & black banding.

I got stung by a bee a few weeks back. My technique of flicking them out of the pool was slightly off. That hurt more.

Also killed 3 juicy redbacks in the last month or so. Think I found the source. The males are tiny (like baby spiders... so small) so I gave them a blast from the can. Pretty sure I wiped them all out... well that colony at least. It's due to the humidity this spring apparently.

There is a nest near my place, as there are a lot of dead wasps around in the corridors and on the window sills, rarely see a live one, but lots of dead ones.

As long as it stays that way we should be gravy.

That sounds very much like the sort of thing kingraf would say. "I was playing action netball and got microstung by a wasp."

kingraf would probably say that the wasp got stung by him.

Must be less of them as you head into winter.

Just researched it. Think my one was an Asian Paper Wasp. Maybe not 15mm... probably 8-10mm long.

I reckon it somehow dragged its sting over my finger as I thwacked it. There are equally spaced tiny puncture marks caused by a section of barbs grazing over my skin - I would assume. Like an Aussie cricketer currently... I edged it rather than middled it.

Can still feel it. A bit itchy. Just glad it didn't get at my face and deliver a few proper stings. That would have hurt considerably more.

In other news, Jeff just liked a tweet I did, so that is me made for the day.

Congratulations, Rick. Quite a day when you get a fist and a like from Jeff.

I think that two days of arthropod/anthropod posting without a response is conclusive evidence that Tino is dead. It's good to have closure so that we can get on with things.

I liked your tweet as well as it went over my head and I tend to cover up my ignorance with likes.

Thanks, Galts, it means a lot.

I was getting annoyed at people complaining that the EU has the audacity to ask for money we promised to pay them, before we f**k off.

Ah, now I understand. If I could like your tweet again I would. It's a bloody good one.

I'd like your tweet, rick, if I weren't excluded from your little Twitter clique, and if I gave a damn.

Cheers, Jules, the sentiment is enough, both the liking of the tweet, and the not giving a damn.

Nasty bickering going on between a Kiwi and an Irish poster on the rugby boards. Going on for days, weeks... months. Mildly entertaining and cringe-worthy at the same time. Poor old George Carlin had to lock it down. Biltong had a good spray at Collapse too. Lots of fracking going on.

I miss the days when the Tennis board was a hotbed of fury and banning.

I miss the days of ebop v gwlad. Probably the two worst posters on the forum. I'm sure they'll calm down a bit when their balls drop.

Old classics, such as TRUSS and DAVE were always fun too.

And Champagne Socialist and ONETWOFOREVER. The heavy-handed modding on this site has robbed us of some classic debate.

Banned.

There was also a persistent Kiwi... Greyghost who had some funny attempts at multiple accounts.

Anyone remember Argie_Fan?
To please excuse my English... which he's not so good but I still feel AB will cause much headache for man in scoreboard...
He was hillarious.

ebop still there, Galted. Acting like a Class A C*nt as usual. Possibly the world's worst loser in the rugby section. Total one-eyed arshehole.

Got to love a bit of "Spring" as well, and Union with the reverse lineal champ threads...

I just broke the thread split on the Brexit thread - I managed to get a 991st post in there!

And PJ’s excelling on the rugby prediction thread. Along with Rick’s like from Jeff it’s good to see the CC excelling in other areas.

Could be a return to the big time.

Fist.

Morning, cuppers.

Morning Rick. Yes, I was lucky last weekend but it's a pity I missed the first week. Still far behind overall.
Going for a shock Romanian win at home against USA this week. I still think it's 1975 sometimes.

Sad news to end the weekend. PJ/Flipper* has come to an untimely end.

Morning Julius. Still here.

Is that link working? I get a "404 page not found".

Ah... the dreaded stingray. I've been meaning to get to Tasmania one day. Might hold off for a while now.

The last "2" was missing. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-46252112

Morning, link doesn't work for me either.

Top fisting, PJ.

Brings back memories of the Irwin incident. First heard it from our courier at work who was under the impression that Steve Irwin was skydiving off the Great Barrier Reef and landed on a stingray. He clapped his hands together to emphasise the sound of a skydiver landing on a stingray as well.

I bet Troy Tempest never had that problem.
