   Gosh... makes me wonder when I first frogged.

   Shouldn't it be like your first kiss, or whatever, summat you remember forever?

   I remember 'Sarah's Mum' as a good name

   I frogged on Day One, but not on day one, if you see what I mean. And it wasn't called 'frogging 'then either. Goodness, how times have changed...

   So will there be a public apology over the lost comments? Or even a public enquiry? Will there be resignations? Sackings? Will heads roll????

   No? Thought not.

   But if all those names write in again, you could be quite a few comments further on towards the ultimate goal of 30,000, and thence world domination. I think I see your plan...

   When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.

    And you now know how to retrieve all the lost comments, there there's really no excuse, is there?

    Oh, don't we love these PM c*ck ups!

    So - does that mean that slowly and inexorably, all the comments which we made and blasted off into the ether (or wherever else they may have gone) and then never saw the light of day, will be found? and published? surely not... ..Has a Moderator, somewhere, been found harbouring screeds and screeds of posts which he wouldn't let through, for reasons best known to him/herself?

    Personally, I think these little foibles are quite endearing!! Oddly enough its what compells me to Frog - its not a faceless, flawless thing but lively and....human. And when I start to thik about it isn't this whole thing quite mind blowing?? People from all over the world, sending these little electronic blitherings for the enjoyment/provocation of others. I don't understand how it works, but its really quite marvellous!

    Retrospective apologies.

    All I can say is it's a good thing they sacked me before they realised the full extent of the havoc I wreaked.

    PS - It's snowing up North today.
    PPS - I'm finally listening to PM on a digital radio, plugged into the telly aerial.
    PPS I'm at home because the snow meant the train wasn't working this morning.

    What a peaceful world would evolve if more people were to think this way! The thought of such a prospect makes me all gooey... a shame it's such an unlikely one.

    How are all ye Froggers anyway? I'm really fed up that I can't do this as often as I used to - silly training course at work is eating it's way into my precious evenings - not a happy Frog!

    Anyway, I think of you all often and hope everything is as ok as it can be. Hope no-one's been hailed on to any great extent! I expect you've copped it Ed Ig?

    FFred - I'd complain to the management if I were you; Eddie didn't seem to recognise your name on "The List"!! And you being one of the most Faithful Froggers an' all.

    Sorry, Mr. Mayor, but I am not on that list. Before my time, type of thing. By the way why do you not publish a list of your successes? Wave the flag abit. Show how you sometimes succeed at some things. How about printing a list of the people whose straplines you have used, for instance. Not that my name would appear on it, of course (sob, sniffle). :,-(

    It starts with Tom and Ann Connell
    Then many others too
    Such as Hugh Jarce and Rob Young

    Look, there’s Fearless Fred and Liz Taylor
    There’s Daffers and Bob O
    And there is Sarah’s mum
    (I’m sure that’s Sarah’s mum)
    We see Charles Hatton and Rosalind and Rosalind again
    There’s Mrs. T. from Wales and a Cathy Harrison
    We also see Liz Arundell and there’s another Liz
    And one Joel Hammond-Taylor’s there who also did the Buis
    And many other people you can see upon the list
    But don’t forget our Whisht
    We can’t forget our Whisht

    Anyway, in way of homage to the early days and our old (now apparently sacked) moderator Lissa;

    Complaint: I was upset by the way this story was covered by PM. Your cannabis angle was contrived - why? You can't have it both ways... the report said he was convicted of murder - the judge and the police (why the police anyway)? directed in effect that he was in his 'right mind' i.e. not 'diminished', so just what did cananbis have to do with it then? It may be the case that he was under the influence of cannabis (and therefore of diminished responsibility to follow the logic) and so the judge and jury were wrong. Anyway, you should have differentiated between 'the weed' and 'skunk' which, because of the way it is grown is much stronger and so not what most people use in the uk - including those like the proverbial little old woman who hit the news recently. I feel it was dishonest biased reporting to bring the mental health person in for interview given the verdict which said in effect there was no mental health issue. anyway, it was also said that he was obsessed with martial arts and violent films so why no interview with those who want to ban those as dangerous!? Also, I do in fact believe that it is not reported that most murders are probably as a result of drug induced mania of one kind or another .. and that all drugs should be urgently decriminalised so that users will be helped as social cases rather than banged up after so called 'murder' when the assailent was under the influence and so of 'diminished responsibility'. In this way the public could be safer. I am not a drug or canabis user. But I believe that cannabis (not skunk) is used by a large percentage of people who clearly are ok... so what is your argument? whether it is declassified or not will not change that will it?

    When I started on the Frog, one of the most in-penetrable aspects (for me) was why most people ended their comments with an SB number. It was only when the Frog started to be hit by a bloggage, and people started using CB, and explaining that it meant Could Be, that the penny dropped. It could never work now, of course!

    SBs - Far be it from me to blow a trumpet (let alone my own) but if you care to trawl through way back when, you'll find that John H (where are you now?) did a recce at one point, and decided that I seemed to be doing awfully well - he reckoned I had A System! No comment :o)

    Ap - you and your push's :o). I've commented on so many threads tonight, that I won't even notice if half of them don't turn up. Though, having said that, most of mine do appear, even when they'd have been better being lost down the back of the sofa. What I have noticed tonight is that no matter how quickly I've moved from one thread to the other, I have not yet had a "maliciously fast" message - yay! - are these long-heralded improvements afoot? perhaps the September slippage is all part of the massaging of the Frog?
