I think the people with ZERO posts to their names do not deserve to be called 'Fluffy'. They should be renamed 'Seriously Fluffin Unfluffy'. As Macbeth would say: Make It So.

Why was I the only poster to occupy the (seriously misspelled) rank I recently vacated? And why does no-one share my present (possibly misspelled) rank with me? I am beginning to worry... I was the only Fluffy Too! too. Another fascinating fact is that Ev's new rank is a mere adjunct, and doesn't appear in the official rank locus. I was hoping posting the sordid truth might stimulate reform. ~ Chambers: beast

There is a description of the rankings, with the reason why they "are" here. Though it's slightly out of date as at 1250+ became "Sexy Beasty with Fluffy bits!" and 1750+ becomes "Ultimately Fluffy!" Though we really need to add more now. The reason you have been permanently "Fluffy Too" Weyland is because you wanted to create your own "Skin". In order to do that you got your very own category/Member rank with access to the admin section to allow you to do that. I have renamed that ranking "Grand Syndic" as per your request via Riot. I did mention to her via that PM the above reason why it was static for so long. I hoped it might have been passed on to you. The way Probards does it is that the General Member Rankings linked to post count are completely separate from the "Staff" rankings but they go in the same place on the Profile page. They are also controlled from different "Options" in the Admin control panel. Hope that clears it up.

You are very special. If you don't remove that word immediately, my complaint to Proboards will be on its way within the hour. No entry for beasty in either. Told you. Weyland...you wanted to create your own "Skin"... What was wrong with the one God gave you?

Weyland...you wanted to create your own "Skin"... What was wrong with the one God gave you? Don't come the innocent with me, young lady. You know very well it's the one Patrick gave me. Reddish on off-white is not the most readable combination for my long-suffering eyes. I'm fussy.

But apparently, I AM STAFF.
I feel very important. Or is it impotent. Not sure.

More very special people: I used to work at a place where we packed this book into envelopes, then into mail bags, for some dodge merchant who sold it through adverts in the daily Mirror. We did hundreds of them.

What was wrong with the one God gave you? I had a dream . . . Here's one I made earlier today: Weyland-light-blue in the Modify Profile skins drop-down list. Comments welcome.

Still time to catch last week's Saurday Play. Just. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00y4cvgIn 1939 Raymond Chandler created a different kind of detective, the fast-talking, trouble seeking Californian private eye Philip Marlowe, for his great novel The Big Sleep....Toby Stephens is Philip Marlowe. Toby Stephens is also Maggie Smith's son . Toby Stephens does a good job. Although I confess that I drifted off in the middle. And took 40 winks somewhere near the end. Well, it is called the big sleep, after all. Anyway... still worth listening to for some good lines. I gave her a stare. She was worth a stare. She was Trubble.

Toby Stephens is...Maggie Smith's son... And Robert Stephens's. It'll be a while before he achieves those wrecked features of his father's:

Sorry, i was in the pub so I missed it. What?! They didn't have it on in the pub!? It's a scandal! I'm writing to my MP just as soon as I've finished this bottle of Tullamore. Wait . . . didn't you tell me you don't listen to radio?

I listen to the BBC Radio Scotland news of a morning.
And sometimes I listen to Q Radio on the TV.
Other than that, no, I don't listen to the radio.
It doesn't make me a bad person.

I listen to RTE1 in the mornings sometimes when The Today Programme annoys. It's funny, like BBC local radio in the 1970's! There was a chap on today who was an ex presenter talking about the walks he did - "You're walking down the road - and the horses in the field come over to talk to you and have a handful of grass, so they do - The cows though! They just stand and stare!!!"
Scary Irish cows eh?
A completely daft bit over Christmas was a little lad phoning in complaining that his pet goat was out in the garden in the snow and all cold and shivering and his "Da" wouldn't let him bring the goat in to warm him by the fire! So the presenter got the Dad on the line to talk him round - and lo! At Christmas the Goat came into the kitchen and was warm. Have to add - it was a farm apparently! ;D
Sweet.

I like his mom, she is brilliant. ;D I generally enjoy the entire show though, great entertainment. (I downloaded the entire series of "Journey into Space" last year, not listened to it yet though.

On the BBC site, I can't see the Radio-4, 4Extra, and FiveLive schedules any more, starting a few minutes ago. I get this error message on all three:
Content Encoding Error

Anyone else getting this?
I blame that Duchess of Cambridge. It's well past time Her Royal Highness resigned!
[Yes, I have sent this to the BBC.]
