Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Wilma Flinstone swears. That is all.

It apparently went through a phase of being used as slang for "messed up" in the states in the late 50's. John Wayne said it too (he said he got it from Hanging out with John Ford, who reportedly said it a lot) in the movie "Red River", I think, but I cant find a clip, so bollocks to that.
