Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    In Boards current parlous state I would not dare to suggest changing a forum name, they have enough to be doing 😀. So I suppose we can consider it mind gym for now!

    Did you hear about the crossword expert who died?














    He was buried 6 down by 3 across...


    "Help me with this clue: Heavily laden postman"

    "How many letters?"












    Thousands.

    I like to think it's the way I tell 'em - white space for effective pause when written rather than spoken.

    Smallest crossword ever:













    1A The indefinite article (1)

    1D First letter of the alphabet (1)









    I'm here all week.

    I've only just found this thread...

    How about "Every cloud has a silver lining" (i.e. clouds - grey; silver - hair)?

    Or, "The silver strand" (beach, hair, etc)?

    That's clever New Home, but how about shortening just to ' The Silver Lining'? By the way, some of us are not quite silver enough yet! 👳‍♀️

    I think Silver Surfers was banned, along with Blue Nun and Bingo (see what I did there!) early on! 😀

    I'm not either any more! We might as well have a bit of fun while the elves are working to fix the unfixable on the site.
