LONG LIVE THE MEGA-POST!
You should be able to view it again, but Masako had to shut off the comments at…
3821.
She had to delete one spam comment to get it viewable again (link).
Please, let’s hear a big round of applause for all of you who posted in the Mega-Post and kept it alive for a year and four months. Please use this comment thread to post your fondest memories of the post with the most…
the Mega-Post.
Gruttings follks.
Have received a command from the boss, his Holiness Moltz the J, that you are missing me. How come? My contributions were years ago and then CARS disappeared and so did I.
Good to see Ace, BroMu and a few others still cracking on. Hope you can translate this as unable to afford to replace the Mac, this is being typed on Ubuntu.
Long live Gravesend and was it you fishing that captured the beluga whale?
Good to know it’s been a voluntary hiatus, Nxxx. My wish for you is that a new iMac Pro float gently down from the sky onto your desk.
Hurrah! Great to hear from you, my friend. I second the iMac floatiness (for me also, clearly). And yes, we have indeed had another ‘whale incident’. You may recall we killed the last one. And Pocahontus. Apparently they take one look at Gravesend and keel over. Can’t think why . . .
PS: Thanks John.
PPS: I’ve updated my email in the fields below in case you ever need to clobber me similarly.
Nxxx: Ditto what Ace said. Or, to steal a line from Sallah: “My friend, I’m so pleased you’re not dead!” (Minor test of your movie knowledge.)
John: Thank you. I owe you a beer the next time you’re in the Bay Area.
Thanks guys but must confess to losing the keys and locations f the tunnels.
Dead? Made 81, so might as well be, no longer able to cause a prisoner of war built prison to fly, so what use am I?
As long as His Holiness is willing to bear the cost, will send the odd reply. Now having been up a half-hour, feeling tired so back to bed. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
“What use am I?”
It’s a very good philosophical question, a point of departure I might take after I’ve answered other questions, such as “What shall I have for breakfast?”
Nice to hear your voice, regardless.
Maybe our infrequent posting habits caused Nxxx to think we left this place.
I’m hoping my similar approach to the washing up will similarly convince my wife to buy a dishwasher.
Oh come on. I totally wrote my name on that previous one . . .
Next, you’ll say that the dog ate your MacBook…
Am I the only person here that hasn’t been anonymised involuntarily?
If so, what is my secret?
All I know is that I am careful to type my pseudonym correctly.
It doesn’t remember me anymore, Ace. Not unlike my wife.
Oh no, I meant ‘acknowledge’ there.
Particularly in public.
Does this mean that in future we refer to Gravesend as Bromuend?
Nxxx, you should know that we never refer to Gravesend at all. Certainly not in polite company (such as we clearly keep here). If absolutely necessary, the prefix ‘that utter shithole’ should always be applied . . .

As I think I mentioned previously, there was a feeble move to rename it as ‘Gravesend Upon Thames’ a while back in an attempt to gentrify it. Until it was noticed that this, rather appositely, spelled ‘GUT’.
The tourist wonders… “Surely it can’t be as bad as all that.” “There must be something to redeem it.”
What would be the one best thing about Gravesend?
