Discussion Forum

It would be nice if people who were having a bad day on site could come here and have a cuppa tea and share some kind words, safe in the knowledge that they will be 'listened' to without interruption, and hear kind words.

A joke shared to 'cheer' you up and make you feel better.

There are plenty of other threads where people can go if they have masocistic or sadistic tendencies.

I would like this to be a thread for writers to visit for encouragement and 'quiet' discussion. A question and answer forum where you can 'safely' ask questions - even if YOU think they are 'stupid' questions. You won't be ridiculed.

Thanks,

Hey! Isn't this a SPOOF site? (i.e. FUNNY!)

Don't take this thread so seriously. It's tongue in cheek or sticking out of mouth

Oh my! How come you expect ME to know when YOU are joking? Or do I have to have a special license issued by Mark to attempt to get a smile out of some of you?

You should 'get' me by now.

OK...I'll unplug the kettle and stick the scones in the freezer.

Two lumps please Lady G.

I've only just realized that this section is viewable to none writers.

So this is the only chance they get to see the healthy vibrant debate and harmony existing among the 'staff' of The Spoof! and what a jolly crew we are.

True. This is the only forum where non-writers can 'get our measure' so to speak.

Kettle's back on and scones defrosting.

I keep finding these little gems of quotes which beg to be read:

Censorship is a horrible, horrible ten letter word no matter how cleverly one tries to disguise it.

-Joan Baez, circa 1969

They took bibles out of our public schools years ago..so much for inclusiveness which today is s 'buzz' word.

Harry Potter novels were removed from 'some' school libraries.

They've changed some of the words in Nursery Rhymes...I was in shock when I bought a new book and began to read them to my students.

There was an old woman who lived in sa shoe
She had so many children she didn't know what to do
She gave them some broth with a slice of brown bread
Then read them a story and sent to to bed

I was NOT prepared for that so gave the stds. copies of both and asked which version they prefered and WHY? Interesting comments from 9 yrs. olds....Their introduction to Censorship which ended in a neat discussion.

As a fine upstanding citizen of Birmingham, I can tell you I have no interest in sports.

However, my dad did a skywards NOOO (like in the films) when Brum lost 2-1 against Tottenham.
