Inspired by the film, "Spartacus", I wonder whether we should all preface our posts with, "I am the voice of reason." It seems appropriate as we all obviously believe that we are and it might divert the attention of the staff here. Wait a minute..... How did that work out in the film? Frivolling, Don
In post-squash Sunday afternoon mood, I am frivolling, delighted to discover that the word exists after deciding that it ought to (to the extent of using it anyway, even if it didn't)and looking it up. In such a frame of mind, I have entangled myself in double negatives. Is there a big difference between, Not guilty of nothing and Not innocent of nothing? Help! You can get yourself into the ...
Innocence (Dedicated to those who are not personally responsible. Without you, this would not be possible. ) I have caught tears in my mouth, washed in the dust of the dead, burned the grass in the meadows, watched the fires spread.

There was someone ...
After the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, one of the victims survived long enough to answer the question, "Who shot you?" His reply? "Nobody shot me." Don
I am pleased that you taken my post in good part as I never intend to be offensive. I am not sure that we are the same person but I have been accused of always agreeing with you. Don
In the last few minutes, the FBI have confirmed that the United States is to seek the extradition of the Voice of Reason, alias Roy, on charges of first degree murder, terrorism and "being a nuisance." This confirms reports that the death of Michael Jackson was being linked to last night's revelations of Roy's true identity. An FBI spokesman said, "Mr. Jackson had a habit of lurking on the ...
From our special correspondent: Residents of the normally sleepy town of Dawlish were kept awake last night by the sounds of laughter coming from inmates of the Backyard madhouse. In an unguarded moment, a poster named Roy had spoken of his loneliness at having been "the only voice of reason in the madhouse." This revelation by Roy that he is indeed the alter-ego of the "Voice of Reason" clears ...
Young gulls are crying: I stand in awe of posters Who know they are right. Don
Even before I read your comment I was thinking the same. "He only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases." Don
