Taken a few plays, but I'm liking the swirly/wonky new single "Exploitation". Nice pics too...

^ Mmm, very nice indeed. Looks and sounds a bit like Fearne Cotton.. but with a nicer accent.

Great stuff. Thank you! May your antlers stay proud and bramble-free.

It's up to you, but the invites thing is surely pretty important because it is hindering fans even joining, yes?

Marc designed the website and had a hand in setting up the forum. He has dealt with one or 2 of my forum requests in the past, but I don't think he is really responsible for it (or too interested in it). Not sure who exactly he works for...

Hey folks, I've now also used up the 5 invitations on my B_is_B account... so would be looking to recruit others again. Good to know that a) invitations are still woring (for a while it looked like they were totally screwed) and b) there are pe…

Welcome '37 :-) Yes, support for the forum has not been great, but we struggle on. Of us non-frapp-employed folk... myself and one other have some admin permissions, although a while ago they reduced these, for some reason. Basically, we can d…

It's pretty hard to get hold of root beer in the UK... so quite a few folk won't be familiar with it. Sainsbury's (supermarket) used to stock it, but no longer do.

The new forum does a very good job of keeping out spam-bots and real-peoploids whose intention is to antagonise. What happened in the aforementioned thread is that a couple of veteran-members radically changed their appreciation of and attitude towa…

^ Oh, I wondered if you'd seen *that* thread, UT. That is, the 'mirror' one. Were you a member whilst all that was going on? I know Whickwithy and A_is_A (amongst others) wouldn't appreciate the thread being resurrected (and it …

Maybe TremblingStar? No idea what he's up to now. Oh, another 2004-ish joiner was... Stephanie. She's not into frapp these days but we're in touch on twitter.

Hi A :) Corvina, Twisty, Ruby Slipper, Letsgetunconscious, Yourlovelyhead, Staddsy, Jimmyjamjar, Sally Traffic... Well, unfortunately those lot haven't been GMB/Forum users for quite a while. Is SallyTraffic VisualFallacy? She's still h…

pob06, Laura, Fenland, VisualFallacy and Micky arrived slightly later, I think.

I was trying to think who on here nowadays was on the old GMB in 2006 (when I joined). Apart from myself and Carpathian... I can think of: Keith, Sartori, Una, Pet(er Jeffery), ping, Ponygurl, Tattmaylor and Jem. Have I missed any other veterans?

So... it sounds like someone (deer?) flicked a switch somewhere and invites made since 12 March will work? Let's hope that's the case.

The deer is here? Good to know! :-)

Does it say "pending" for the ones that haven't been received?

^ Hmm. I TwitterDMed ya - asking about the status of the invites? (You can check by clicking again on the "My Invitations" link.) At least we know it works in some cases :-) (I invited Julia M and that worked OK.)

Have enjoyed his books probably more than anyone else's. RIP Terry Pratchett.

Thanks, Keith. Maybe ones from your account are specially blessed.

Ah, have just seen this thread. Have asked whether any invite-successes. If not, I'll tweet Marc Kremers. Obviously, anyone else can do so... he's on twitter: @marckremers

Change(ish) of title because it's now looking like we can no longer send invitations. Or rather, we can choose to send 'em, but they ain't arriving! :-( Unless... can anyone confirm that an invitation has successfully been sent/recei…

I'd forgotten about his appearance with the Bangles... cool :-) Of course, he also did this trippy song/video:

Just to confirm... Carp + me can still do limited stuff (eg delete threads). There's actually been no need for us to handle spam(mers)... ever since the join-up facility was restricted. If anyone was wondering... I've not visited here muc…

Sorry to hear that, Pet. I have one sibling, a younger brother. We're not in touch very often these days... I should probably call him now and again.

It is too quiet on here right now. So talk about anything.....
LG watchers will have seen that Lisa has been getting around... after India, she's been to Venice and Tokyo this week. Assume film-related and without Alison? Either way, I'm envious of her jetabouting! :-)
