The Metamorphosis of EDF Threads

[DulwichFox]

So many Threads on EDF seem to Morph into something which bears no realation to the original subject matter..

A bit like an old World War 2 'True Story'

The head of a line of marching troops hear a message from The Front... 'The Rations Have Been Increased'

This is passed down the line. By the time it has reached the end of the line... 'The Russians Are In Greece'

Perhaps we are all a bit guilty of this..:-$

I guess there are at least ways in which a thread can metmorphose:

- in Chinese whispers style, as per your example. This probably happens if you just read the last one or two posts beore writing your own;

- or in the same way a conversation/debate may flow from an one topic to another

I might be wrong but haven't Topics become Snickers?

[Jah Lush]

Marathon became Snickers Steveo but I like what you did there.

[PeckhamRose]

I would like to add that I have nothing to do with EastDulwichRose. Nice name, though!

[DJKillaQueen]

Back on topic though....if the Russians are in Greece does that mean we no longer have to bail them out?

[KidKruger]

Well if one is public sector it's not a problem for one anyway.

That'll be the problem for the private sector.

[PeckhamRose]

Me and SpaceyCat need a lift home from the Lorship Lane vets to PeckhamRye east side at 5.00 ish today. Motorbike brerk.

[Salsaboy]

It's the Frenchies fault.

[PeckhamRose]

It's alright, we got a taxi.

[dulpostcardpat]

[DJKillaQueen]

Waitrose?

[PeckhamRose]

No no no no NO! Sean Connery was Bond when I was a kid and I STILL say Daniel Craig is the best ever Bond!

[Thomas Micklewright]

soo... foie gras?

[northlondoner]

Nice one Tommy! But you have left me feeling crushed and devalued.

[El Pibe]

And whilst we're on that subject, does anybody else think this building, soon to go up in Korea, is in slightly poor taste?

[Jah Lush]

Yes. Utterly vile and vulgar.

[the-e-dealer]

Whats it supposed to be? / do? Achieve?

[El Pibe]

click the link to see.

They're meant to be clouds, and it's actually pretty cool, but I couldn't think of a worse choice of promotional image considering what it evokes.

[the-e-dealer]

Anybody else get vertigo just from the pictures?

[maxxi]

And will they call it the twin towers just so we all know they're taking the piss?

[Annette Curtain]

Yikes

I'm more concerned about the building surrounding the H Tower.

Is it me or are the slightly bent/wavy-gravy-man ?

NETTE:-S

[the-e-dealer]

They are very wavy - I thought it was me specs!

If they had plane shaped bits sticking out it would be in bad taste but you cant get upset because someone wants to build two buildings next to each other that happen to be tall.
