Is it just me becoming a boring old git - or have we had an explosion in the number of banal polls recently?! A lot of them seem to be very repetetive and derivative of other threads too... Does anyone bother to look beyond page one of the Cafe?!

My god, have you just read my mind? (it's not difficult honest)
Was thinking of posting a similar topic, on the ammount of polls.
5 polls on this page alone.
Have people gone poll crazy?
wow gryphon synchronicity or what. i'm working on my own poll as we speak! how mad is that?
neil
((( banal? what's that mean then? and that derivative? no idea on that one? )))
Ooooops.
Thought this was a poll.
Ho well.

Sorry, it was - it seems that I inadvertently deleted it when editing some glaring typos in the original post . I have now restored it - but it means you'll have to vote again - LOL !! lol

There do seem to be a lot of newbies around in the last few weeks revisiting hoary old topics - maybe students who've just discovered the joys of their University's computer network?
Something weird seems to happen when you try to edit a post that contains a poll - I've noticed it myself a few times...
I forgot what I originally voted for.
As there seems to be some doubles, I closed my eyes and just clicked anywhere.
Seems it was the last one.
sorry lol :lol:
I don't mind the odd poll.. done a couple myself.. but it annoys when they are repetative/boring and then take up room of other threads I'm trying to catch up on.

As one of said Newbies, I have to say this is the first disdainful remark Iv seen directed at us, If Iv revisited an old topic, many apologies, but there are so many topics in the cafe to read, and Iv not got through them all yet, if something springs to mind I do admit to posting a new thread, rather than opening an old one, mainly due to not realising what has gone before.
Nimbus, a lot of us are still relatively new here - I don't think it was meant personally (more of a dig at students than our own lovely newbies - at least that's how I read it anyway!). The poll was only meant to be a bit of light-hearted irony!

Could be a dig at the press contingent as well.
(I do hope so)

Excuse me! I'ma student!
Not only am i deeeeeeeply hurt and offended by that remark but i'm absolutely gutted that this particular Poll/Thread has started on the day of my first and only Poll.
I'm assuming that all the comments on here are directed to me personally and I will respond to them as such.
Now, where's the stomping-off-in-a-huff Emoticon ..... ?

Oh bugger, have I put my foot in it again?
I really didn't mean to be offend - and there's certainly nothing wrong with being a student, if anyone reading this happens to be one. Admirable investment of your time; teaches you skills that you'll find useful for the rest of your life, etc etc etc. I just noticed there did seem to be a fair few newcomers (and there's nothing wrong with being a newbie - we were all newbies here once. Except Mark.) who've popped up at the same time (and there's nothing wrong with that) and a lot of said grouping do seem to be asking brief, punchy questions (and there's nothing wrong with that) with a kind of wide-eyed fascination (and there's nothing wrong with that). So I wondered what event could've led to several such people signing on at the same time and I came up with the start of the University term.
FWIW Nimbus, I've really enjoyed your posts, so it's a pity you hate my guts now. evil Kiss and make up? passionkiss

Will this one do for now?! :dry: or this? :rude: or maybe this...? :kissmyarse:

How are you feeling, anyway? All dosed up on lemsip and hot toddies, I hope!

Well to be quite honest with you hunny, if you think about how quickly page one becomes page two, then page 3 etc etc, its only about 24 hrs before page one is actually page 5!!!!
So, i'd say no, not really. and if i'm being REALLY honest, i only ever look at pages one and 2!!!

Roger I'm very disappointed in you. There was I thinking you were obviously quite a nice person, but now I realise that you are actually the Antichrist in physical form. lol :lol: :lol:

Beware my Evil Satanic Powers... :twisted:
Not much on polls myself: I'm usually in a minority of one on any subject so it merely makes me feel more ostracised than I did before :cry:
but, how about limiting them by , say. a POLL TAX!!
yep, that's got a ring to it...must be a winner... recommend it to the House...should be a riot...not been tried before ...has it???
i quite like the polls sometimes, but others are repetative and i can never think of anything witty to
maybe u should have a poll on a poll which ones are good and which ones arn't........ rotflmao
told you i cant think of anything witty to say....lol
yeh i no laughing at myself
