difference between reaching for the bottle of anti-depressants, or making you feel cheerful and hopeful.

It can make the diffence between slipping into a black hole where the sides are perpindicular and covered in grease ( I won't say what type lol) or dragging yourself back from the edge thinking there is still fun to be had in life.

It can make the difference between feeling your aches and pains or not feeling them because you are too 'busy' shaking with laughter.

A bit of silly humour gives a few minutes of respite from worries and fears......Only a very bitter person indeed would take that away from others just 'because they can'.

as you say, shame on the culprit who has essentially deprived us of a lot of fun, but hey - we live to fight another day!! and they will still be sad losers, probably with no real friends - I'd like to feel pity for them, but after the past two days I'm afraid I cannot

I have laughed and giggled so much in the past 48 hours, the fun has been incredible - all innocent and at no-one's expense, just us adults behaving like schoolchildren - and why not!!

There is so much misery around today with the economic situation which affects us all - to be taken out of that scenario by having a good laugh and may I say large chunk of carmeraderie has been nothing short of plain spite - spite for what I have no idea, but there must be a motive behind it all

That one person has the power to upset to many people having fun is disgraceful, and GR are disgraceful for allowing it to happen

and now I have been accused on the "Scam" thread of indicating who the culprit is!!!! I wish I did know for sure - I think we all have our own suspicions who the person is but I'm also sure none of us would be stupid enough to definitvely say who it is - I certainly wouldn't - that would be cyber-suicide!!!

I never work out who dunnit in any detective stories!!!
