Alec! The poem I posted you've already read;Alec Rivers wrote:I wouldn't mind having a look. Any chance of a link?Sue Sanders wrote:I did that with the one I've written on the Spoilers thread!
Great poem and sentiment, Alec!Alec Rivers wrote:I recently found the Apterous site
Where people play Countdown for pleasure
Some are competitive, playing all night
Others just play at their leisure
The robots are useful if you're a bit shy
Or just want to practise the game
With confidence high, you'll then want to try
Against a real fellow or dame
You might be amazing, you might be alright
And that's what the rating will measure
You might think it's brill, or you might think it's shite
But I'll always think it's a treasure.
With wonderful people to chat to and meet
I've never heard anyone diss it
So if letters and numbers are right up your street
You'd be a right charlie to miss it!
It was a joke Alec. In poor taste, yes, but then a lot of them are.Alec Rivers wrote:Yes, it would, if you considered my celebration of Apterous analogous to genocide.
Never mind the Duff - seems we have our own poet laureate right here!Sue Sanders wrote:[another poem]
I dunno, you might be onto something. What if we're all being subliminally trained into becoming killers of some set of people Charlie finds distasteful?Derek Hazell wrote:It was a joke Alec.

It's okay, mate, I know. My response was meant to be humorous, too (otherwise it would've had an angry face at the end).Derek Hazell wrote:It was a joke Alec. In poor taste, yes, but then a lot of them are.
