With Susan Boyle getting more hits the "The Book" Fat Ladies of a certain undisclosed age were going to, at last, take over the Media. Still the only way to lose a "No Confidence Vote" was, obviously, to be VERY confident.

It was a well known fact the Doors were inadvertantly blown off in N. Italy during a practice session only to re-emerge later as universally acclaimed rock band headed up by Jim Morrison.

Half awake from the half dead arcane thoughts drifted through what was left of his mind.

Could there have been doors in the gaps of stone circles if they had known about stone hinges?

Who knows? Who cares?

and another thing

And so the Necroplanicus, opened one eye, yawned, stretched, had a quick scratch and paused. Would the wake up continue into full alertness, or would it relax into slumber once more, its vibrant discussions of all things bizarre a fading memory.

Spring is springing.
Will this mean a resurgence of life for Necroplanicus?
Will anybody tell Clive that Charlie has left Planning Planet?
Will the stars tremble in their courses etc. etc.?

During the 17 months incubation period for morphing,decent reading material was in short supply. Imagine the joy of rediscovering that PP had stashed, concealed and stored NEC BODP for future generations of pre pubescent planners.
Where was the mad Frenchman? Sweaty Betty? Was it true they has met, married and made lots of baby planners or was she languishing in Torry Rig Blast Yard or getting help up at gun point in Rio for her luncheaon vouchers?
Still, time or google would tell. It always did.

No, he was spotted havin a wee dram on the corner but 10 minutes ago, it was someone else.

Imminent, but something was missing.

An old friend enters the room but says nothing. Could this be the start of another Necroplanicus mystery?

Folks,

definitely not cubans...i love the easy bit, i’m lazy!

hey anoon man wot you smoke fella

Just back to the land of no rush hour, expensive beer, sunny long days and evening swims, M had had her fill of mince tatties neeps, skirlie, rain and midgies. She was surprised in deed to learn that, considering the demand for plannersm, that anyone of you worked Fridays and Monday.

POOTTS day?

Leave on time tommorows Saturday and we work on Saturdays

TGIF

va confersaytions juz bean got morr insayn? Watts gong on?

and espeshully Handcock eggs cos they is not part of an balansed diet so is not pollitticaly rite

And there was me Oliver Imagining Tony (morally Corrupt because a knker manufacturere says so) Blair was revving up the Nuclear industry.
What are you guys doing at 8.45 talking about spelling
Im going to get Hancock and go to work on an egg.

As the clock ticked 8:45, RANDALL made an an assumption.
Charlie....Anoon...Charlie.....Anoon?
They both made very little sense and the case could be argued quite easily by a slight case of schitzophrenia.
But what about everyone else? Surely Ogghams OCD with regard to grilled mackerel was not highlighted in earlier threads and what of Gwen, had her use of words nobody ken the meaning of increased??

Randell whose Randell

Without the guidance of Oliver it was indeed true that culinary ramblings had proliferated.
Was everybody becoming leave happy
And where was Charlie
Cooking up a storm?
Or maybe Charlie was Anoon
Would we ever know

Come on Chris, we planners don’t need to know what has gone before, we are only concerned with how to get to the required goal in the shortest possible time - hence Mornington Crescent!!!!

I’ve just read back over the past couple of dozen posts and find myself wondering how on earth we got here! There are a number of possible explanations; one that springs to mind is that we are all incredibly talented individuals with a flair for free-wheeling creativity. Alternatively it could be that we’re all completely bonkers.

Its a bit of the sweet and sour treatment
Same as if you are making soup a little salt and a little sugar
Gwen your thoughts?

Love the Mackral and rocket
freshly caught mackral and cut lettuce

this is real! i’ve just come from the WC and my manager is asking where the h**l i’ve been? i’m wasting the company’s time...anyone can advice a better answer? by the way i’ve already resigned...

Clive,

I must admit what Nieman suggested sounds alright, provided that you left out the deep fried Mars bars and the fried bread, got rid of the onion gravy and replaced the scotch pie, chips and mushy peas with venison pie, game chips and freshly cooked, lightly buttered asparagus.

Now come on, boys, what you need is a nice hot scotch pie and chips, covered in lashings of onion gravy, with mushy peas and a side plate doorstep of fried white bread, followed by that Glaswegian speciality dessert, a deep fried Mars bar or two.

Steak pie, puff pastry, untainted by weeds. Creamy mash made with full-fat milk. White bread, fresh from the oven, thickly smeared with heavily salted butter.

oooooohhhhh....I’m ’avin a ’eart attack.

What sort of pie?
Chips or,, mash made with sour cream and parsley
white or wholemeal bread

The clue
EU.NO
Was that Europe No objection?

Who knew the answer to the way we were coded

Fresh Salmon skinned from the pulsating beast and served, flesh warm on cold rice, with a hint of Wasabi to tingle the nasel passages

Could it get better than that?

Then for over two months, nothing happened!
What is going on? Or rather what isn’t going on.
Through a sinister twist and a quantum distortion will M be forced to remain in her morphed identity as Jumeria Jane?
Will the stars tremble in their courses?
Will the Necroplanicus slide silently into oblivion?
Coo-err!

Gwen,

Thanks for putting the record straight, I was worried it was going to be black armbands. I wondered what to do with the bottle of Laphroaig I got to pour a libation to his immortal soul, but I suppose I’ll just have to drink it myself.

I is with a heavy heart that I must advise that Oscar passed away last night
I shall miss him

Livet, bloody right I’m Livet
Clive - how could you mix up your two favourite S.L.A.P.P.E.R.S.
Makes the mind (Glen)Bogle so it does...

oh dear
oh dear
OH DEAR!!!

Oscar back!!!!!!!!!!

toggle ?

it’s another form of entertainment, or you can boil it in the pot! and it will give you a lot of gut! like coffee for the nuts!

"what I ask is WBS another form of"
Why? Probably like spending a night with Romanoviv!

And thus, it came to pass
and end in sight for the farce
indeed he said as he saw
an end to moderators of yore
no more must we lose the explicit line
and deletions no longer the fine
for we are free and do at will
and show those who have no skill
the oscars and the orbes will feel our wrath
unless we take a dose of sloth
Lithuania I here you say
but, what is there oh pray
just an oscar in the gutter
puffed out without a stutter
his posts are few and far between
has he been taken by the queen
and secreted we know where
in some planning armchair
not to be heard from in the future
all cried at his nuture
what I ask is WBS another form of

for fiction is not the real action, and would not make dead projects live...

From post to post the planners flit
To exercise spontaneous wit,
To answer questions in a trice,
To give a little sound advice,
To function within Planning Planet
Until the moderators can it,
We really do try hard to help,
Despite the moderators’ yelp,
Their censorship is hard to bear,
But we press on because we care,
We make a point, a humerous thrust
And then that post will "bite the dust"
Our fists we clench, our teeth we grit,
Volunteer moderators - Full of suspicion.

Sorry couldn’t think of a rhyme for that last line.

Chris Oggham

Chris and All PPers,

If you cast your minds back into the middle of last year, there was a VOTE on how the moderators should moderate. A number of options were offered. It seemed, however, that not all tha many people voted - but the general consensus seemed to indicate that the moderators should moderate their moderations a little more moderately (geddit?) - with an explanation of WHY they removed certain elements of the posting. Unfortunately, they seemed to have forgotten that.

OK, I agree (and anyone who has a good grasp of the English language would also agree)that the series of removed postings had an awful lot of innuendo - but linguistically, there was nothing personal, profane, abusive or inflammatory. It was just the richness of the English language being used at its most humorous.

I fully appreciate that the moderators have to exercise their judgement - but once again - I ask if there is a written set of guidelines for them to follow? If so, it ought to be published. If not, then it should be.

James.

Hi Clive, I don’t believe I’ve ever said "yikes" in my life, however, I did have a quiet word with PP Admin, who having been made aware of the problem sent me the following reply: Hello Chris, Am responding to your message regarding moderators. While I can understand your frustrations with the (volunteer) moderators, please try to remember that PP is developed, run and paid for by a small group of volunteers (of which the Moderators are incidentally, not a part of) so try not to judge PP by your experiences with the moderation you have experienced. All the best and keep on planning. Hope you choose to stay with us. It will take a few days to get Rory on the case of closing down the moderator function, please hasstle me if it has not been done in the next few days. So within the next couple of weeks we should see an end or at least a substantial diminution of over-zealous moderation. Chris Oggham

How about "need to thwart"

How very strange, despite the large volume of postings to this thread, large numbers of them appear to have disappeared without trace. This would appear to be censorship rather than moderation and I really dont think that censorship has any place in Planning Planet. I think I may just copy this post in a Private Message to PP Admin as I doubt if it will remain on the thread for more than a couple of seconds.

Chris Oggham

This was one of my posts deleted by an overzealous moderator in an attempt to cover up the fact that he or she had gone rather too far. PP Admin are aware of the problem and are taking steps to remove that person as a moderator and hopefully prevent this sort of petty vindictiveness happening again.
