FOR GOD'S SAKE, EAT THE CURD!!

[chaletian]

Well, this weekend has been quite jolly, all things considered. Went shopping on Saturday and Sunday and spent far too much money, but have acquired some new shoes, a new floaty white nightie (thank heavens, frankly – I have been in deepest mourning since my last one died, and they’re like hens’ teeth), some books (natch), a new woolly jumper (let us all embrace the UNI QLO sale), a random woolly sleeveless cardigan thing from GAP, which I am not quite sure about yet, and various kitcheny things. I am now, obviously, poor like yonder church mouse and will be whinging about such poverty for the rest of February, cheerfully ignoring the fact that it’s entirely my own fault for SPENDING ALL MY MONEY SO I HAVE NONE LEFT.

In domestic matters, I changed my bedlinen, made some mini quiches (as you do), some squash and sweet potato soup, some blueberry muffins and some LEMON CURD which was very exciting indeed, and is quite tasty. We will be eating it ad nauseam this week, as it doesn’t keep. Tonight, I am making pie (chicken, leek, and possibly mushroom), as Chris and Bex are coming for dinner. Also stitched up the buttonholes on the back of my apricot silk blouse so they don’t come undone when I move my arms, leading to indecency and disarray. Did no tidying: my room is again a tip.

In other news, I had the most hilarious email from some disaffected member of the CBB who was apparently outraged on being asked to change the size of his sig:

Delete my details from your site please as I no longer wish to be a member of it. I am not taking part in any forum which queries the size of your 'signature' yet allows you to input the details in that size in the first place

Your mods must have nothing better to do with their time.

You needn't bother to reply to this email because I shan't read any response.

I am a member of various other fan sites and have never been asked anything as pathetic as this.

I did bother to reply to his email, but only in a remarkably immature fashion to say, “Suit yourself, sunshine,” which is possibly not what he had in mind.

You're right, that is a hilarious email. I think that may keep me amused all day. Love the reply.

Oh MY what a lovely flounce

And I happen to think that one of the nicest things about the CBB is the fact that the sig sizes are kept to a decent minimum. There's nothing like trying to read a thread on a BB where two thirds of it is taken up by someone's monster sig line...

Ha. Squash and sweet potato soup. It's the ONLY way forward. *cackle*

And that is an e-mail of genius proportions.

What a wonderful flounce!

I have a fr4iend who gave me the address iof a forum she reads and it does my head in as the sigs are unrestricted and massive in diff colours, sizes, with pics and all kinds things in almost every one. Makes the site so hard to read, esp when the text in the sig is larger than that in the post!

[davidbrider.livejournal.com]

That sounds a bit like a forum I go to. People also get to choose their own font colours and sizes for the actual posts. There's an interesting pattern, where the people with less of any real substance to say, post using larger and more lurid fonts...

I can't stand big colourful .sig files - even if you like seeing an inspirational quote or a picture of someone's baby the first time (and I'm not really much for the inspirational quotes, though I do quite like babies) it gets infuriatingly boring by the ninety-eighth time they roll by. Luckily the only forum I hang out on that allows them also has a 'browse without viewing sigs' option, so I just turn them all off.

Oh that's fantastic!!!
I love that he's calling you/the mods/the CBB pathetic for asking him to reduce the size without considering how pathetic he himself looks for getting all aereated over it!! *rolls eyes*
(Fair enough if he had some kind of sight problems, but it doesn't sound like that's the case)


And I DO rather like your response!

Joining in the giggles. How to show yourself up in one easy lesson! *G*!

[cathbear.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, the "delete my account" email. Lovely, aren't they? And they *do* speak volumes about the sender. We've had several on AUK over the years, and every time I still think: how childish! Just stop using your account...

Nice email back, I really do wish we were in a position as mods on AUK to send similar ones. :D

Planning meeting *poke poke*

Curd and yoghurt was vee nice.

[euphrosyna]

People get very touchy about signatures. It's bizarre!

[mrs-redboots.livejournal.com]

What annoyed me when I was asked to change mine was that I'd been on the CBB for at least two years before anybody actually noticed it was wrong! Didn't mind removing it - I no longer use a signature on there - but did wonder why on earth nobody had said anything two years earlier!

[euphrosyna]

I'd say that either no one had noticed or we'd/they'd forgotten about the rules themselves/ourselves. We're being strict about it now, but it had lapsed for a bit a while ago.

Ahh bless the poor emailer, I would like to pat his little head in an effort to make him calm down. How do you make lemon curd? is it easy?

Please, help me, brothers!!!
