Re: Question for long-term users of SAUK

Really? Why do they do that? Are they using chatrooms from rival SA websites?

Re: Question for long-term users of SAUK

I was just wondering whether this quieter trend on the forum is mirrored in the chatroom?

How many toilet rolls do you need to survive a pandemic?

A frenzy of toilet roll panic buying has gripped shoppers everywhere. As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps across the globe there is only one thing on our collective minds: our arses. Do we have enough...

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)

Yes, it's very enjoyable once you get going, but Proust demands a certain amount of concentration and I inevitably got sidetracked. Plus it is incredibly long (4215 pages according to google). I...

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)

In Search Of Lost Time runs to 7 volumes and I've only read one and a half of them, but your comment reminded me of the famous episode when the author tastes a madelaine cake and it takes him on a...

Re: Don't want a housewarming party

Just tell them you will be far too busy with trying to get everything sorted out and settling in to bother with a party. If they carry on being insistent tell them that if they want a party so badly...

Re: The Suicide Thread - Trigger Warning

Very true. I always think Consolida represents a motherly presence on the forum.

Re: Coronavirus is a breeding ground for conspiracy theories – here's why that's seri

I'm not sure the hard left sees much of a distinction. They seem to loathe both with equal passion, the poor dears, and I say that as a Tory, not a wishy-washy, moderate, centrist Blairite.

Stock markets were tanking last week because of the disruption to the Chinese economy and the predicted effect it will have on the rest of the world. I think we just have to accept that there is...

Re: Coronavirus is a breeding ground for conspiracy theories – here's why that's seri

On the plus side I predict a lower infection rate among the socially anxious than among the general population, and an even lower rate among those who are agoraphobic.

Also on the plus side, for...

Re: If you could go to an exhibition of just one artist, who would it be?

It's a completely obvious question. Moksha suggested that people were awarded prizes for reasons other than pure merit. Jen threw a load of smears and insults and generally had a tantrum. So I asked...

Re: If you could go to an exhibition of just one artist, who would it be?

If it was just one artist, then probably Vermeer. I find it sort of fascinating to peer into images that are as good as photographs from the 1600s. Plus he painted Girl With A Pearl Earring, which is...

Re: Ah ****, both Clive James and Jonathan miller

I was struck early on in Brief History when Bryson admits that his knowledge of science is so limited that he doesn't really know anything. I've noticed this isn't unusual for more arts orientated...

Re: What makes life worth living?

You need a human brain for consciousness. Or debatably a chimp or dolphin brain, although I'm not sure how their consciousness compares to ours. But in each case, as Feynman said, because we are made...

Presumably the person was banned?

I must have missed all this intrigue. Very impressed with Mr Long_Username though, tracking down the culprit.

It seems a lot of the oldies have changed their usernames since they joined. If neilm has had the same name since February 2000 (it sounds like a name that hasn't been changed, but I don't know) he...
