What is it that people like about this here forum? I've been reading it for so long now it's just a dirty habit I can't kick.  There's been some quality moments on here and the old forum that have caused me great merriment, but they seem few and far between these days.............................it's because you've met some great friends isn't it? You forum wrecking scumbags!

Of course I jest.

For God's sake! I feel that I have to say that every time I call someone a name.....damn you, TalkTalk! You've weakened my powers.

I blame 9/11.

It is a bad habit, simple

agreed....i will just type the address without thinking.
even if i want to go to a totaly different website...next think i know the TEF has opened up.

Its a laugh... have met some top quality poeple who share a passion for STFC...blah blah blah.

If it wasn't for you Spacey, I'd have never got into cheese.

x

it all goes back to thatchers door.

Good for Swindon gossip ... good for amusing banter ... brilliant distraction from work.

Sod Facebook - TEF rules.

:goodpost:

I love this place

It fills the void left by my non-existant social life

So in conclusion, it's a habit that has enhanced our appreciation of dairy based savoury snacks. It has crazy gossip and banter that is brilliantly demonstrated by ronnie. I'm glad that's all cleared up.....now what did everyone have for tea?

We haven't had a favourite top three for a while. Crisps?

Cheese and onion.

All other flavours are shit, eaten by tossers...........

I prefer top 5's, I feel they provide more imformation.

Have you got a proper job yet Spacey you cunt?

....or do you still stay at home like a woman, cooking, cleaning and ironing?

It's my dream job DV, don't knock it.

Or I'll stab you.

I write risk assessments. If you carry on with that crazy banter I'll be assessing the risk to you of a cheese grater going up your face.

I must have forgot to add the smiley at the end of my post, sorry  :(

We haven't had a virtual punch up for a while.

I was getting my hopes up until DV pussied out.................

Do it again and you'll get your smiley on a post.

I'll take you all on

Haha! I'm not really going to grate you. Smileys are for tories!

Can I just add that taleggio is the king of cheese. I kind of forgot to add that to the favourite cheese thread, but as it was mentioned earlier

i once punched spacey in the side f his temple and he died for 1 minute

I still laugh about that now.

Getting back onto subject, I don't know too many of you on here but believe me when I was at some of my low points in the run up to my first op it was the humour and banter on here that kept me amused.  Now the worst is over and I am getting around a lot better (back to work even) I still feel that we have such a good mix on here we could easily produce a TEF panto every month!!  Thanks guys and gals.

Not sure about a  panto but I think we should make a film. Anybody got a spare digital video camera kicking around? You can be producer. Sonic can direct. Not sure we need a script. This baby will write itself.

Shotgun lead. I can play a cross between Obi-Wan and Joe Strummer.

Didn't you come up with a zombies on a train idea? It could be like Snakes on a plane, but with zombies and a train.

I wanna play the role of the deceased Luke Kelly of The Dubliners, an Irish folk singer by trade from Pinehurst, who just watches the traffic go by, with his guitar by his side, that he never plays.  Not sure why this would work, but it feckin would.

My idea for a film revolves around The Rapture happening and all the holy good people getting sucked up by god. Of course the group of friends in their local enjoying a pint of beer when it happens don't notice at first, neither does most of the world. But with the forces of heaven and hell setting up ranks for their apocalyptic battle on earth, the group put aside their differences and create a third side. Fighting for humanity.

It needs some fleshing out, but it's got room for stuff like rivalries and people putting aside their differences and the black bloke dying first and a crazy monk type who guides them (this can be fatbury).

Unintentionally I suppose it's sort of a cross between Shaun of the Dead and Dogma.

I might have done, I can't remember if that was me or someone else. I like my new idea better, it could have a scene with zombies on a train. Oh and a scene where somebody gets to kill Jesus.

Which are both very good films.

Mine would be better.

Jesus has already died once! He's such a bloody show off. I like your idea, but it sounds big budget.

Could be made cheaper by lots of people agreeing to work for free.

Oooh the gay character could be tempted to change sides by his catholic grandmother. that would be a good bit of soap opera style drama. His catholic grandmother who looked after him whilst he was growing up from the age of 9. This writes itself. He can be called Frank.

Losing a fight against the forces of heaven, the gang and numerous of their new followers have holed themselves up in a brewery. Suddenly the ghostly image of Frank's Gran appears

Frank: Gran! You're a ghost, you're not dead are you?

Frank's Gran: No Frank, I'm more alive than I've ever been, I come to you like this to talk to you.

Frank: Wh...wha..

Gran: You turned you back away from the church Frank, I tried to bring you up right, and you were always a good boy, but... It's not too late Frank. You can join us again. Feel the love of Jesus flow over you Frank. Leave these people and come back to us.

Frank (stuttering with emotion/tears): N..N..No Gran. You always looked after me, even when mum and d..dad.... went away and I love you. But... you never accepted me Gran. You knew how I was, how I was different, and you ignored it. Pretended that if it wasn't there then it would go away. I had to cope, growing up knowing I was different Gran. Do you know how hard it was. These people have accepted me for who I am (glances look at Jim), they don't care that I'm g..gay.... (short pause)

...This is wrong Gran, making people be one thing or another. Your holy side isn't any better than the other one, with their demons and fire. No Gran, I'm choosing to be me, and that means staying with my friends. Because doing that is also who I am, and I think it's worth fighting for.

Frank's Gran turns away in sadness and walks away. Frank pours himself an Archers with Lemonade and drinks it quickly, before looking around to his friends. Who smile, especially Jim


Jim is Frank's gay love interest by the way.

I think I might have switched a bit quickly from emotional to "let's go gang" in Frank's speech.

you should have a another gay character who feels alienated by the gay couple and secretly fancies Frank and wants Jim to get killed by a vengeful 'Franks Gran'

It's a possibility, but I'd want Frank's struggle with his Gran to be an emotional one. Until some crazy battle happens and he has to really choose.  Also I think that 2 gay characters is enough, I don't want it to turn into Gay Sex and the City vs. The Apocalypse.

he could die quite early on.

fb, this sounds great...and for a character who turns to Satan you could have AC/DC Highway to Hell playing.

better than Chris Rea's 'The Road to Hell'.
