UPDATE: Ginofish gets smart and sarcy in the Requests thread, informing us that technically 'The Cube', is a Cuboid, because he's clever and someone to look up too. Nit-picking, is it not.

He's actually quoting this weeks Harry Hill...

Cross-referencing? Can Dimblebot even do such a demanding task?

A wonderful spelling error by Ginofish, causing the TVF swear filter to spark into action:

2-5 Ben and Carrie - Ben seems to regularly swap his evening shit and oftern appears in this slot of a Friday

His evening shit appears in a slot on a Friday?

Perhaps forgoing his shit to appear on tv gives him a profound sense of urgency as he presents?

Are we really supposed to tolerate "breakingnews" constantly resorting to, "touched a nerve", "you all take this too seriously" whenever he has a point challenged in the Newsroom?

Come on mods. Please?

Question is: are the mods qualified to mod?

Indeed, am I even qualified to wonder if the mods are qualified?

I'm going to dye my hair in a bit, but I've just realised I'm not qualified. How will I cope?

Now, being so achingly devoid of self-confidence, I could choose between pouring scorn on others to make myself feel better or just being happy for them to make myself feel better, but I can't because I'm not qualified.

Oh, the agony.

I'm sorry, but I think the criticism of what you posted in the bomb scare thread was quite fitting. You could have made a valid point about "over egging" of the story - but gee whiz - to say that its a non-story was simply foolish.

You don't want people to think you're foolish, do you?

I never said it was a non-story, Gavin.

And no, actually, I don't care if everyone thinks I am foolish. I'm not here to make friends.

Write that down in your copybook now.

Those are my words, yes, but you basically said a bomb that doesn't blow up, or one that would only maim/kill a handful of people is unworthy of a terror alert - a non story, then.

Half a dozen reasonable people disagreed, but you've chosen to focus on the one expression about being "unqualified" to talk about the severity of incendiary devices.

Talk about missing the point.

Well that's a pity. I find it possible to debate matters with people and consider them friends.
