Tanwen Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Are there any young jokes by the time someone reaches forty plus and if there are will the teller be banned from AVEN? On a serious note, watch out for the mod, she's a bit of a dragon... Wrong! Not a BIT of a dragon...she's ALL dragon :lol: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mole Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So what does the typical 40 something asexual weekend consist of? I don't know yet, I'm no good at planning that far ahead... I want to go and play up in the Peak district one day but there is a long list of things that need doing at home. Will I be responsible or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanwen Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Oh heck, no...not even I'm old enough to be 'responsible' :lol: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A Taste of Harmony Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Mole's weekend to do list. No.1 Teach Harmony a weekly British slang without getting caught by MT. No.2 Repeat no.1 No.3 Repeat no.1 & 2 And so on. No.9 Give Harmony homemade marmerlade before they commit robbery. No.10 Call Merlin to talk to the dragon to give Mole a ride to Peak District, so Mole can save travelling time and use the spare time to dunk more biscuits. Excellent!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myssterry Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 You can never do anything on any thread without being found out by MT. It is not possible. :o 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mole Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Standards? Is that what defines the 40s thread? All good then. @Harmony: This weeks word is one of my favourites, it can be used in polite conversation and as such it will not get me in trouble with Miss Terry. Faff. (Alternative spelling; faf) To spend time going lots of little things to put off doing the main thing. (Usage; 'Mole is to busy faffing about on AVEN to get anything done' also 'faff now work later'.) We can get onto other words like 'trump' another time when Miss Terry isn't looking :P 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mole Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Sun is good. (Awaits whirlwind predicted by MT in JFF.) I've got no plans for the Godiva festival. It sounds good but I want to play tomorrow so I need to get all my jobs done today, well most of them, okay, some of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanwen Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 The dogs are flat out in the back room and I should go into town to pay in a cheque but it's so hot and I don't feel like walking and I'll feel guilty if I take the car... :( 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mole Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Oddly enough I was discussing this thread with one of the high powered marketing types at work today and she said the problem is that the thread has a weak brand when compared with the 30s and 50s threads. Apparently it needs to offer a unique quality that makes it easier for users to understand its target group within the market zone. To achieve this it needs to be relaunched in a dynamic way that will create a unique market segment for the brand to operate within that is separate from the 30s and 40s. I think I can do this by changing the name of the Forties thREaD to FRED. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myssterry Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5XX9LX2es4&feature=player_detailpage You can have this as the 40s Fred theme tune. Funnily enough it reminds me of the time I sold one of my pianos. The man who bought it got an awful firm called Murphy's in to move it, and they got it wedged in the hall. They had taken the piano off its legs, and wrapped the top in a blanket, and one man was trying to hold it while speaking on the phone to his boss to ask him what they should do next. They were like that for ages, and I did think maybe I should offer them some tea. But then I thought too much liquid could be a problem, if they were wedged in the hall much longer. The man on the other end of the phone made various suggestions, and they eventually eased the piano out to their lorry. I had suffered a breakdown by this point as I was sure they were going to drop the piano through the floorboards. Anyway, I found they were driving off with only two of the piano legs and had left the third behind, so I had to pursue them down the road with the extra leg. This is not how a proper piano movers move a piano! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, the boredom excitement is only broken by me showing them my massive ball of wool collection, oh wow, every week there is a brand new ball of wool to show them, ‘exciting, ’the textures and styles are amazing ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mole Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Just checking in for a second to email some people on the board, this is Newgirl and I started this 40's threat.. how is everyone doing? Firstly thank you for starting this thread. Now the depressing report :( It's a bit quiet in here. People tend to post once or twice and then drift away. (One common theme for first time posters seems to be the question about what is special for asexuals in their 40s and there doesn't appear to be an answer.) Despite the low level of usage efforts are being made to liven things up so that maybe 40 some-things will stay around. Steps taken so far include relaunching the thread under the name Fred and giving it a theme song. On a more serious note the search for the answer to the common question goes on and when we find it we will be able to give new posters the answer they want (or maybe not).
