Yes Plucky, it may well be beyond you but it isn't in the man beneath the munky suit is it?
I nearly forgot to mention, where's that fart in a colander tag coming from? It's getting to really piss me off.

Ram, what's up? I don't think I've ever known you to be quite so cantankerous.

Hi Jen. Ingore him. I found my screwdriver BTW. There's a nice quiet lock-in over the other place if you're interested. But first, your thoughts on the new voting system please.

Des!!!! You got it? Good. I'd put it on that low wall in the hope that you'd spot it if you dropped by. I've been popping over to check on the old place every so often, you know, taking in the mail, watering that spider plant that refuses to die, and making sure that them next door aren't syphoning off our electric to run that little "farm" of theirs in the loft.
Haven't been in today though, so shall pop in shortly.Given that I very rarely sub anything, I don't think that I'm in any way qualified to make a pronouncement on the new voting system.
Having said that, I quite like it.Posted 8 years ago # -
don't go on at ram, you two. maybe he is a bit cranky tonight, but we all have our moments.
even if you don't like the carpenters, listen to the tony poluso's guitar solo at the end.

I'm not having a go at Ram, Plucky. Far from it. It was a question of genuine concern, as Ram seems to have a bear on his back at the moment, and isn't his usual gently mocking self.

Plucky, may I commend you on your excellent taste in music. My absolute favourite guitar solo, on one of my absolute favourite songs of all time. Seriously.
And seeing as I'm back, I may as well comment on the voting system for old times' sake. Whether you 'self-vote' or not I think it's now definitely going to be less contentious, which is a good thing, but I didn't mind the old system. I found the 1-10 scores were useful, particularly when starting out, for comparing the performance of my own subs against each other and trying to work out if there was a reason behind one doing better than another -- for example if I really liked one story but it got a six, whereas I wasn't sure about another and it got a seven, I'd look again and see if the first one was a 'just me then' something only I thought was funny, or if I hadn't worked it as hard as I could because just the idea in itself was enough to make me laugh. Just using the scores to compare my own stuff also meant I didn't need to worry about whether anyone else was voting for themselves/getting their other half to vote for them/part of a massive global conspiracy against me.
So as you can see I thought about it too much in the old days. Now, I'm probably going to spend hours dissecting the degree of fractions of stars that seem to appear...
Also, I could probably go for a screwdriver about now, while we're on the subject. Cheers!
