Was just thinking after referencing Burnley earlier that happened YEARS ago with a former poster. I expect some posters newer here must get confused often.
So, let’s say someone needed to study TWTD’s history for a TV special, and you had to summarise a TWTD exclusive saying or contextual quirk in relation to it’s origin/meaning, what would you say?
Change the record - used to be necessary in threads when some posters never seemed to read what was posted and kept banging on about the same thing, I think there was even a 'changetherecord' username. How delightful that the forum is now completely tolerant of the views of others, gives each post careful and considered judgement before a reply is posted and that there is not even a hint of polarised opinions.
On TWTD more than any other forum in the universe, Irony Meters Matter - think carefully, very, very carefully, before responding to some posts -
Must be half term - used by 'mature' posters to denigrate those they assume to be under thirty.
See also straw man e.g. on going back into work after a week off 'Did you have a nice half term with the kids?' 'Spent most of it building a straw man on the TWTD forum actually'.
Burnley - Where, apparently, every Town supporter will eventually buy a house and settle down as a response to straightened circumstances.
Callis - you really should collate this thread into alphabetical order and present it to Phil as some sort of potential addendum to the Forum drop down menu (in the way that Chat is on the Interactive drop down).

The "half-term" one always furrows my brow - all five of the 8-12 year-olds I know quite well, consistently show a great deal more maturity than at least five long-term posters on here.
Blubfest - you make some speculative comment that you think is perfectly innocuous and every thin skinned poster piles onto you as if you has suggested that Stacey Dooley probably looks quite ordinary without her make up on.
