I beleive this is one of the most unregulated and open forums on the net,

Aparently.

Not,

Or so it would appear.

Do the thought police do not get humour ?

Why do they choose to delete, lock a thread, or move it arbitarily based on what ???

Whether they fancy the other person ??????

Give me a clue you faceless BIg Brother types, Going PM or whatever you do, I responded with thought and consideration and you delte it ????

Why ?????

Bearing in mind that I have a reputation for being pretty damn good at these things, and that I am lifetime unbeaten at Trivial Pursuit (all versions) - I am pretty disapointed with my 27! That really is very poor. Not a bad quiz though, I'm surprised! Rachel really does pick the easy ones for the show, doesn't she?
