No. Those whose brains are mush, may have them liquidized, but they probably aren’t sufficiently computer literate to come on here.
Those who use this site have demonstrated a degree of computer literacy to get this far. They can only further develop as they use, in some cases misuse, the site.

Morning Barry. Ever stood behind teenagers in a shop. They cannot work out the money or calculate how much change they should get. Thats down to using calculators in school and not being tought basic maths the way we where.

I would agree that people brought up in the digital age have to rely on help to do basic maths, spelling and to use their imagination.
I would argue this is more due to laziness than brain mush.

Willow Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
Good, I think it’s a bit ignorant. I hate shop assistants talking to each other while they are serving you. It’s the same thing but in reverse.

Willow Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
Freedoddy’s ok. He’s like me if, he believes in something he will stand his ground and argue about it. If other people don’t like that then tuff.

Got to be honest Barry I don’t want to get involved in all that. I am the one and only Willow. Always will be. What you see is what you get. I will not change my name. I have no need too. If people don’t like what I say then TUFF but I am honest and true to myself. I can understand that some people get annoyed about people with more than one name/account. I pointed out the other night that I thought a certain person was back but thats as far as it go’s. You have taken a lot of stick recentley. If you are barrycoleridge then be barrycoleridge. Be true to yourself. Nothing would give other people greater satisfaction than to proof you wrong.

Freedoddy Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
You can play around with him for a while can’t you?
He’s a bit like etch-a-sketch. You twiddle about with it for hours only to decide that the end product is embarrassing.

I quite enjoyed the thread you posted about overhearing someone mentioning your name on a bus.
Did you ask for it to be removed chromo?

Barry, if you’re still up, have a look at this.

I think you’ll find many people there with similar interests to yourself!
Glad to be of help. :-)

No Free, it was deleted by the mods, deemed as being part of the ‘silly season’. Still a bit annoyed about it to be honest.
-
Chromosome23 Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
Laz, did you ask why your ‘silly headlines’ thread went so quickly? I was looking forward to an interesting discussion on that one.
-
Freedoddy Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
Really? If inventive, imaginative and humourous posts are deemed offensive and inflammatory then we’re all done for.
(barry, you’re quite safe)
On the subject of moderation, i’ve been banging on about it for weeks now, that the site needs moderating. I feel that the lack of a strong presence around the place has contributed to the place listing badly recently.
-
Chromosome23 Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
I agree Free…the brighter of us are now having to watch over our shoulders when we post…thanks to the idiots who have crept in under the poor moderating radar.

I can only assume that the HDM is embarrassed by anything original, amusing, anarchic or not conforming to the stereotypical view of a northern city.

What’s the betting that these posts will be deleted come the morning?

Chromosome23 Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
Televised or sponsored?
Seriously, from my point of view, the spammers have won. The mods don’t seem to be able to differentiate between humour and trolls. I am, quite frankly, fed up of it all.
-
Lazarus Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
I agree. If you were to post any of the material we were posting on each thread, this site would be blank by midday tomorrow.
Don’t give in just yet C23, you are one of the more rational of us regulars. It is clear however, something sinister has this way come, but from which direction is relatively unclear. Silly season only lasts 6 weeks.

The next coffee morning should be interesting. I’ll definitely be attending!

TheBreaker Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
Your threads and taken off for being part of “silly season” while the creator of silly season get away with “We the bees” and every other waste of space thread.
Willow gets a warning for his quarrel with barry but yet nothing has happened to barry for his constant attacks on all forum members. His bullying cannot be accepted!
Well enough is enough!

Freedoddy Submitted about 1 month ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
If they want the place to be as exciting as a bad dose of piles, they’re going the right way about it. I may as well air my views before they disappear come morning.
The moderators are moderators by name alone. Its obvious that some of the more seasoned users, such as ourselves, are trying to contribute locally, having gained experience on numerous other forums. We’ve seen how it works.
In here, this forum seems to be being used as some sort of other string on the HDM’s bow. Obviously, a lot of the main users are becoming disgruntled by the slap-shod approach of late. It either needs to toughen up, or lose the interest of some of the sites nucleus.

It was pretty shameful what happened to Corona. It wasn’t though s/he was writing idiotic posts, and the topic was developing into one of the more interesting.

Completely agree Free.
Laz, Baz is okay in his place, but he does seem to get away with posting some rubbish.

He doesn’t debate, he has problems understanding English, then just tries bullying people. I could point out lots of examples of him failing to get at me, but I can take it the point is how many people turn away from this site because of his behaviour.
We must stand together!
HDM look intensely at that trophy, what does that stand for? It stands for nothing if you don’t fight for the dream what was once Your say! I may stay and fight for all the Say’s of all the Yours users but I cannot guarantee many will stay the distance, you can’t let this become a ghost forum.

Electronic equipment can only fry the brain if it gives off high levels of Micro-radiation. These are usually emitted in small doses from mobile phones, PDA’s and Microwaves. Never heard of an XBox doing so!
I use a Clarke CDM60 which measures frequencies between 3MHz-3GHz. They are pretty cheap at less than £5 and can be used around the house to detect microwave leakage.
