How come Netflix offers *Free!* complete movies
but demands my postal code, e-mail, and credit
card number (which they promise not to use)?

A scam?

PBL187: About the joke you made about the meat smoking thing. Maybe if you had added that it was a joke, like this for example --> (joking), it would have been easier for people to understand it was a joke. Remember, people with autism have a tendency to take things literally :) Anyway it's just a tip!

It'll be time to get my winter wardrobe out soon.

It's mainly the same as my summer wardrobe, except with a cardigan as well.

Well if people had been more reasonable about it like you were, it would have all been avoided. I did put a laughing face on it, and even for people with ASDs it was obvious. What's obvious to me is that it's such a cage, taboo subject here that people get really wet about even the mildest implication of homophobia.

This will probably bring even more heat but I will say it anyway: I'm gay, for real, and I despise homophobia (I would even if I wasn't gay myself), but a joke is a joke. I've seen jokes that were more offensive than mine but I still found them funny, despite me being depicted in it. Humour is humour, if I see literal homophobia then I won't laugh or find it funny, but if it's just a joke then I respect that. I have no problem whatsoever with homosexuality, including my own.

I know that people will have their own opinions whatever I say, so if people wanna now believe that I have internalised homophobia and/or hate being gay just cos I'm not too sensitive and anal (no pun intended) to take offence to any and all jokes about it, then fine, whatever, keep judging me.

I too have autism btw (AS), and marked dyspraxia, and, undiagnosed but clearly present schizophrenic tendencies, so while I should be aware of the literal thing, people here should also be aware of my defects, including the same tendency to take things literal. It works both ways, whether y'all like it or not

That said, this is helping me to get my post count up without it looking like I'm doing that on purpose, so thank you one and all :lol:

We call it banter where I come from.

Nice Sunday dinner today.

I go to sleep in a duffel bag and I'm never up, never down down down down

Ikea was ok the other day but the self service facility left a lot to be desired.

It'd have been quicker to order the stuff online and wait for it to be delivered.

There a bit like bourbons but they've been dipped in chocolate.

There's joking and joking. Meaning something as a joke does not absolve you of having said it. Some jokes punch up at the powerful, some jokes punch down. Get it? It was a crap joke, but with a little tweak it could have been alright.

New forum member has serious problems. Sent a bunch of presumably rage-filled PMs to me, and then deleted them. The titles contained more homophobia and threats. More jokes?

I don't have the concentration it takes to read long posts or PMs from people who I hardly know. They just go straight in the bin or to the mods for them to decide.

I've not got time in my life for all that kind if s**t.

What's the point of eating frogs legs?

For a kick off there can't be much meat on them so it's just a shear waste of a perfectly good frog and a complete waste of money too.

I like a good hearty meal me. I won't even waste my time with chicken wings.

They're all bone and skin.
