I meant I wouldn't stick around the whole day.
I had better things to do - like painting my mum's ceiling.

Could do with mine doing too but it's far to hot to contemplate at the moment

Imagine how fast it would dry though. Be positive.

Problem is you can't see where you have been when you are on the second coat.

Bill

Actually the main problem is the paint dries before you apply it on the wall!

I am not a cat person, but wouldn't do anything nasty to them.

However something needs to be done about the number of strays (cats & dogs) here.

something IS being done about the stray cat (and dog) population in CY. check with your local vets. there is a spay/neuter program...fix and release, the only proven way to control the population in a humane manner.

...........internet forums with nothing better to do with said life than making personal attacks on others?

I won't stick around for the answers.

People who are bored I suppose, and people who are deed down looking more to life than what is presented.

Eventually the forum starts to get flooded with people who cannot debate a simple point without dragging ten quotes behind them of:

"Look at me, I have nothing to say so I will misquote you until you have to correct me and then I know I have your attention"

People who seem unable to think beyond their own front door or beyond forum politics.

A consequence of expecting a gem of an answer to a question /paradox/topic, for those who relish new ideas from wherever they arise, to indicate a glimmer of hope that you've found another forumer who doesn't need electric convulsive therapy after every thought ...... is you invariably get dragged in.

Banter, witticisms are fine; odd exchange of weather comments to seal familiarity all fine ... but not when that is all that is on offer.

Some people take a simple response, as an invitation to continue in similar kind, endlessly, unable to take the hints of moving on back to debates.

People have given up thinking.

More people work from home, so the forum is a good filler-in, since the PCs usually have to stay on.

Some people are house-bound completely, in wheelchairs perhaps, or nursing other members of the family ... whatever their reason it is no longer good manners to insult somebody by how long they choose to spend on the forum or their motives.

Obsession with other's personal / drinking / medication habits is bad form too.

Some feel the need to use one "argument" to fit all categories and topics.
Their one piece of "sound advice" is brandished about like a torturous mantra.

We've lost some major debaters, out-of-box thinkers recently, Greekforumer, AlexISS and GR! etc. .... so we are all suffering as we realise how subtly they managed to "cut-the-crap" and yet still offer an argument.

There are all sorts. That is fine, preferable even. But balance between banter and debate has to be tweaked every so often.
