I think that's unfair on the mods, they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. :wallbash: Try having a conversation with a mate in the pub, and keeping on topic, it's not easy.

Nooooo, Topics are wrong - just like Grannies with mobile phones!! I like Orange Juice but not Oranges - ooh, I really like fresh orange juice mixed 50/50 with Coca Cola (other brands of cola are available - but crap). Anyone else tried Cola & OJ mix - it's called Thames Water, coz it looks brown!

Just thinking this thread is titled 'threads going off topic' but then surely if we go off topic on this one then we are doing exactly what the thread says so technically it's not going off topic. Ooh I just saw a bit of blue sky!!

Sorry guys if I miss something because I haven't read everything on this thread. To directly answer Gary. As long as the OP is happy and the original query is answered then wheres the harm. (Especially threads in Banter bar as they are banter anyway). In future if you don't like a particular post then use the report post button, a mod will then evaluate if the report has basis and act accordingly. On a unrelated note, it never stops amazing me those that take beef with this forum and "throw their toys out of the pram" keep coming back. I don't go around someones house I don't like, to take a dump in their toliet.
