If you put a full stop under a microscope you'll find that it is in fact a smilie. Usually winking one.

[pineapple-tea]

What sort of ink are you using for this full stop? Then again are you using pencil, and what grade is it?

[Rufus Gwertigan]

The inky kind.

[krisskross]

surely this thread should be moved to the discussions forum

Aw do you not realise there are many different types of ink. Sit down and I will tell you about the time I worked in a laboratory in an ICI factory that made inks. Alot depends on the substrate used and the viscosity of the ink itself blah blah blah blah blah

Oh my God. The inane ramblings that go on all year in this forum, and you decide to bring it up this week of all weeks....?

[nominaomi]

Are NKP your initials or does it stand for something cool (though if they are your initials they could stand for something cool anyway, if you are cool)?

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Maybe it's super cool octopus ink, Im sure that stuff has magic powers!

The ink of an octpus is above 30^oC I have been told. Hardly super cooled.

[bombfrog]

Disagree away. But yes, let's leave it there - and shall we agree we don't need to be picking people up on there (sic) use of language again?

[nominaomi]

Nah, octopus ink full stops look more like this:

[pezzypops]

actually i would read that and think 'over their what?' over their heads?

i would understand what was said, but if the correct spelling was used it would flow a lot more nicely.

but i would forgive it and not pull someone up on it, just like i expect people not to pull me up on my non-capitalisation of i and at the start of sentences, i just think it looks nicer. i always capitalise proper nouns though.

Can I just say how wonderful I consider it that a thread entitled "on topic please" is so gloriously tangential - we've had grammar flame wars, cheese and milk, Blunt bashing... what's next?!

Edit: answer... octopus blood temperatures. I must admit I didn't see that coming!!

So there are people out there who think we should only be posting on issues relevant to Glasto.

2005 for me. I have a Grandma pendant too!

[CrunchyFrog]

Yeah, I guess Neil can take this thread as a giant to his initial plea!

[pezzypops]

Maybe it was a subtle way of drawing in all the useless off topic posts into one huge thread! So Machiavellian!!
