Well don't just sit there! Someone say something!

I think we should formalize the wooshing procedures.

LONELIEST.

Re: Lexicon, rules, whatever...

burantek — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:44:26 GMT

Some easy ones to start...

Bang & Olufsen, B&o, Beo, etc... / Bananas & Oranges / Can this be shortened? B&o won't cut it! Just Banana???

Apple, Macintosh, Macs, OS X, etc... / Avocado

PC, Windows, IBM, etc... / Artichoke / Suggestion...

Camera, Nikon, Leica, etc... / ____

Watch, Timex, AP, etc... / ____

Car, Yugo, Trabant, etc... / ____

This is tougher than I thought! We WOOP so much! Perhaps we should just can the whole idea and let it ride!

Time for a

Lexicon, rules, whatever...

OK kids... Let's kick this off nice and easy. This is an effort to document the WENGLISH© that has developed over the last few years. I suppose the goal would be to draw some fresh blood into the gene pool by making the wedthred© a *little bit* easier to understand if not follow.

I will keep this first post editable as this thread progresses. Hopefully we can unite the results w/ a rules thread as well... Would be nice to arrive at a single post that could be linkable at the start (in the first post) each Wednesday. Perhaps it may draw more use of the Group as well.

So bring it on... anything and everything counts. We can add/edit/subtract at will!

Format: BEOWORLD / WEDWORLD© / COMMENTS?

NO WOOPS HERE! (That doesn't give you carte blanche, Andreas!)

Should the words B&O, Bang and Olufsen or Beoxxx be allowed on a Wed thred©?

Yes, it is a B&O enthusiast site after all.[/quote]

It's Lancashireese for "mend".

4th Tom. Some folk can't seem to use it.

We'll have to ask Keith to fettle it, eh!

Re: My first poll!

Puncher — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:20:56 GMT

Can I vote twice??

I think half the fun of Wed© is that it isn't *&* related and we don't end up blithering on about telllys not working etc. And it is even funnier to woop someone who does

Also spurious new rules (at mine and Andy's discression of course) keep folk on their toes (I know it's difficult for newbies but how difficult can it be to talk bollox once you've been wooped once)!

Still, I'm willing to be overruled.

Second! I guess Andy was first...

Just click the group, then in t'box on the right, click media.
All those millions of pictures we have downloaded can go in there!
That would stop em being deleted every week.
