@graeme-ogg ....you can hardly form a valid assessment going just three pages back into a missive of this magnitude.....children with bumpers?......wild-eyed nutters?.....bird head on a wooden shaft?......a Green Witch in the meantime??????
Well, it was enough to form a pretty good impression of the overall picture. Which is not a pretty one, it has to be said.
Meanwhile, I noted one of Mr Dodd’s earlier comments:
I don't think it's right that Graeme, being at least four hours ahead of us, gets to think up stuff and even have answers for stuff before we even know we are going to be thinking of the same thing. This kind of advantage makes up appear like....dumb, when we are like...so not dumb. Plus he gets to eat breakfast before we do, which is harsh. Personally I don't blame Graeme; he lives in London and can't change his longitude but this whole issue is really nasty; which I guess is why it's called Greenwich Mean Time.
Call me paranoid, but I thought I detected a certain undercurrent of resentment and envy there, and I would just like to say that I have a rather different perspective on this.
There are times in this world when decisions have to made, and decisive action taken, and once I have taken the plunge (for better or worse), you guys still have another 4 hours to think about the situation, weigh up the pros and cons at leisure and assess the options before committing yourself to a suitable reponse - time that I just don't have, due to what is, from my point of view at least, an insurmountable geographical disadvantage.
Being out in front all the time, with my every move being subject to intensive scrutiny with a 4-hour time lag, carries with it a heavy burden of responsibility. A little bit of sympathy and understanding would not go amiss here. Even though I know you're all just so very tired and emotional right now.
p.s. I realise the above statement may appear to conflict somewhat with my earlier claim of having a geographical advantage, but none of us are thinking clearly or rationally at this point.

I tried to go to sleep. But the giant bumble bee in the corner of my room began fighting with my dearly departed and not-so-fondly remembered Aunt May while they sang "Oh Danny Boy" in harmony with the Sunflowers that were growing out of the ceiling.
Interesting, but probably pretty mild compared with what I think some of these other guys will be going through when they finally try to come down. Because mark my words, they've really got it coming. The excruciatingly disorienting withdrawal symptoms of those "LSD-free Tuesdays" back in their college days were as nothing compared to this.
A forum-sponsored campaign of non-elective sedation and a 2 day course of intravenous Prozac (or a cheap and potentially toxic generic equivalent) may be the only humane answer.

A new thread? Is such a thing even possible? I thought this one had expanded to fill the entire observable universe. Personally, I can no longer envisage a meaningful human existence outside this space.
Or are you perhaps confusing threads with string theory? Multiverses and all that SF stuff?
And now I am waiting for Mr Dodds to tell us that "multiverses" are Bob Dylan songs.

We all leave our gear where it lies, as Council comes in with frontloaders and Jaycee volunteers to sani-sweep the grounds.......we set up our arguments in a nice clean undamaged thread under assumed nom de plumes.....win,win I`d say
