So what's new around here?

[Divinus Arma]

Anything new? Been awhile.

Tell me a story, boys!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Resolved the abortion and gun control issues, still working on health care and global warming.

[CCRunner]

I'm new around here! :party:

[Azathoth]

I started a really popular thread. :egypt:

[Major Robert Dump]

I think my wife gave me an STD and now that we are divorcing I am totally into hookers.

[Kadagar_AV]

I have a steady girlfriend...

Parents to daughters all over the world are relieved...

[Lemur]

Devastatin Dave and I are finally going to go legal in Iowa. Don't worry, I'll post a wedding registry and everything. You haven't missed the fun.

[InsaneApache]

Is that a baby yorkshire?

[Furunculus]

Resolved the abortion and gun control issues,

what was the result, haven't been following those?

[rory_20_uk]

I'm quitting clinical medicine. :thumbsup:

~:smoking:

[InsaneApache]

Is that a baby yorkshire?

Tis indeed. :yes:

I called him Riff Raff. :beam:

[econ21]

I'm quitting clinical medicine.

Seriously? What are you going to do instead?

[Beirut]

Good to see you again, Div Arma. :sunny:

[rory_20_uk]

I qualify as a GP with MRCGP on the 5th February. I'm taking annual leave from the 1st. Then I'm going to work for a Pharmaceutical Consultancy as a Doctor (Consultant Pharmaceutical Physician - or dogsbody). Results based, no PCT bullshit, job for 3 years and training 1 day a week.

One day I'm seeing coughs and colds, the next I'm meeting up with a team to discuss strategy to launch a new drug.

My mum has 11 yorkshires. Those dogs only promote mayhem.

[Louis VI the Fat]

InsaneApache now supports the team all his hometown mates do, Manchester Utd. Andres moved to Liège for the cultural climate. The father of his fiancee has made Fragony convert to Islam.

Xiahou doesn't much post here anymore after joining a vegan commune. Tribesy and Adrian have left for good, the left is now represented by TuffStuff, Maniac and Furunculus.

Poor Rabbit is locked up in some Somali jail. Rabbit joineda developmnet organisation which sought to bring peace and freedom to Somalia. The Somali authorities unfortunately disagreed that crates full of sem-automatic rifles bring freedom.

Don Corleone moved to Yemen where he lives surrounded by his many eunuch servants. Devastating Dave had a sex change operation, he posted the results in the Babe Thread.

Me, I'm finally out of the closet and am giving in at last to my insupressable pyromania.



'X' has still not managed to retract his foreskin.

He's our 6th yorkie and we have a grand total of 3 living, plus my wrestling dog*, a Samoyed.

@ Louis I would love to support the Salford Red Sox, unfortunatley I'm from Manchester. :embarassed:

It s a blatant lie that I converted to islam I am just mildly allah-curious

You promised not to tell.

[Strike For The South]

I got a thread about Texas stickied
I got into college (didn't see that coming)
I plan on being a medical doctor
I'm pretty good at betting on football

As you can see I have humbled myself

As for the backroom, it's generally gone from know it all adults to know it all punks.

Xiahou, Don, Gawain, Pindar, Adrian, Goofball, and many others have gone.

It makes me sad because now instead of comic relief people expect me to be an example to younger posters

I'm no good at that.

[Husar]

I think you're doing just fine. :2thumbsup:

and no, I haven't changed, I still tend to agree with both sides of most arguments. :dizzy2:

~:smoking:

I need a new drug.

[drone]

I need a new drug.

One that won't make you sick? One that won't make you crash your car, or make you feel 3 feet thick?


Backroom latest - it's pretty boring now. Losing Bush took some of the air out of the discussion. Tribesman left, so we no longer have someone who will call BS on just about everyone. Quality of discussion has diminished, but that could just be because there's not much to discuss.



Resolved the abortion and gun control issues,what was the result, haven't been following those? We give guns to the fetuses (fetii? :inquisitive:), makes the operation more sporting.

[rory_20_uk]

I need a new drug.

I think the field is infectious diseases... I mustn't judge though

[Vladimir]

Kukri was elected appointed president.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I feel overrun by British Socialists. Or maybe Beskar just posts a lot. JAG's still gone. :shame:

Seems like the crowd is younger. :juggle2:

Oh, and I got out of the Somalian jail after I promised to show some pirates how to shoot if they attacked Greenpeace vessels.

[InsaneApache]

I;m drunk.

[Husar]

I;m drunk.

Nice, I had a beer.

[Strike For The South]

Nice, I had a beer.

Nice, I'm sober

[Husar]

Nice, I'm sober

Cool, I just got up.

Not like that's a new thing that hasn't happened to me before. :sweatdrop:

[Fragony]

I;m drunk.

lol

[Hosakawa Tito]

I;m drunk.

He asked "what's new".

I'm sober now. How's that? :laugh4:

[KukriKhan]

We give guns to the fetuses (fetii? ), makes the operation more sporting.

I laughed out loud. Never saw that coming. :thumbsup:

[Gregoshi]

Brilliant responses to a simple question! :laugh4:

[ajaxfetish]

Well, it's a 4th declension noun, so if you want to be really proper about it, the plural would be 'fetus.'

Ajax

[a completely inoffensive name]

Shoot, reading this thread made me sad. I wish I was here when apparently all the good posters were still posting.

[Furunculus]

rose tinted spectacles to some degree, there are always revered forbears spake of in reverent terms.

[Husar]

That's partly true but I think the average age was a bit higher and thus more knowledge and experience were present. Or maybe just more bias, depends on your point of view. :laugh4:

[Furunculus]

fair point.

i almost always disagreed with tribesman, but he is sharp.

[Fragony]

Got another love-letter in the watchtower from Tribes! (and on my private account some will never learn)

[Viking]

That's going to need some evidence. Many of the more frequent posters in earlier times were punks, just as now. The main difference is that in earlier times you had no earlier Backroom to compare to. ~;)

[Furunculus]

punks? :inquisitive:

[Viking]

3 a : a young inexperienced person : beginner, novice; especially : a young man b : a usually petty gangster, hoodlum, or ruffia

[Furunculus]

fair enough :p

First off, nice selective quoting, without the next sentence. And secondly, you call me a punk? :inquisitive: Not that I was here from the beginning, but...
That there was no earlier Backroom to compare to back then does not make the comparison we can make now invalid.

Your turn. ~D

[Ja'chyra]

I was never into punk much myself.

But i hear they tuck their jeans into their boots.

I thought you meant that the higher age, which you proposed, would have the same looks as more bias, or something along those lines. :inquisitive:

I didn't call anyone in particular a punk, but people in the right age group will always know who they are. ~;)

What I meant was that in teh early Backroom, you couldn't complain about how the posters were wiser (and generally more godlike) in earlier times, since there was no Backroom then. It had nothing to live up to. When people say "everything was much better back in the day", it's typically referring to when they were relatively young. You know, they'd encounter problems if they tried to go too much further back in time since they wouldn't be existing anymore. The parallell here is that they are comparing their experiences; and these have a specific beginning, just like the Backroom. They'd be going out on a limb if they said "30-40 years before my time, everything was much better!". In essence, it looks like people like to select the start of something (like their lives) as the ideal times; while later times are trying to live up to those ideals.

Therefore, I find it very relevant that the Backroom hasn't been around all that long. :book:

Hasn't there always been a backroom?

[Sarmatian]

Hasn't there always been a backroom?

No, I think Big Bang precedes the backroom.

[drone]

Hasn't there always been a backroom?

I thought there was once just the Tavern for off-topic stuff. The Frontroom and Backroom were created afterwards to separate the contentious stuff from the more harmless.

I wasn't complaining, I was just saying there were more older members here, in some respects it is actually better now, add to that that some or most topics like guns and Iraq/Afghanistan were still kind of new back then and more new things could be said about them.
And it's actually true that we got more snow in my childhood. :smash:
