Bots.

 

[James_Calvert]

They'll be some who like to look in at work but can't log in through the firm's systems....and where mobiles are banned.

Like those mentioned by Capt Popeye of course...

Er....... join what?

 

[LadyInBed]

Er....... join what?

Maybe join in the inconsequential banter?
On second thoughts, maybe that's why they haven't 'joined'!

Err the thought of more blood letting

I routinely add remarks/questions at very late hours, and I've noticed that in spite of 70, 80, 90 people "viewing", nobody else contributes for several hours at a time.

Often makes me wonder who makes up this silent majority.

Be honest - what is there to say about shoving plastic bottles up your osprey:sleeping:

 

[dancrane]

Wow! How can you be so sour on a Friday night?

The superb and exciting story of my recycled unsinkability isn't the only thread I read and add to.

You'd be sour if you had been stuck in Inverness ,700 miles from home, trying to organise a replacement rudder.
& still 3 weeks to go!!!
All the good weather being used up-- you know that as soon as i get the rudder the weather will turn foul & i will end up stuck somewhere Grim - like Grimsby ugh!!!
Now going to miss the Belgian national fireworks championships & the Paulufestein in Ostend
Yup really fed up
Who else can i upset?

You're forgiven.

My rudder isn't perfect either. Lots of dings and cracks. Thinking of melting down some plastic bottles to fill the gaps.

Dan,

I was going to suggest plastic padding, then I remembered a guy at my club who bought a big modern cat' ( ie super-beamy with lots of stripes ) in Southern France, bringing her back through the canals; he pranged her at the first lock and loads of filler shook loose & fell off - then he knew why it was such a bargain !

 

[dancrane]

Hmm, very discouraging...I've no plan to sell the Osprey, but if ever a later owner were to steer her into the path of a speeding PWC, the sudden explosive dispersal of three hundred large empty lemonade bottles might make quite an entertaining seagoing seppuku.

Apologies to Daydream Believer, but he did introduce the subject here!

That's when the lizards do their best work. They are just lurking.

>Bots.

Having checked the URL traffic on a number of sites Bots account for 20 to 25% of traffic, something to bear in mind when companies boast about their traffic.
