From what I read, two years ago a few people objected to it being shown at a charity event in Folkestone ...they were ignored.

Yeah I was exaggerating for effect. 

But the way things are going who knows?

That famously funny episode of The IT Crowd being recently banned for example.

Just that (incredibly) two of my all time favorite films have had a sequel worthy of them made.

I put off watching both Blade Runner 2049 and T2 Trainspotting for years because I was frightened that they would shit all over the originals.

I was wrong.

Mind you both did not make much money - today's audience seems to consist of people who want to see huge tits, pecs and explosions mixed with lame wisecracks 24/7 for about 80 mins.

Joker was a very honourable exception.

How come robins are so tame?
They will actually eat out of your hand once they get used to you....that's if they are the same ones, tbh, they all look the same.

Don't be fooled...

I don't think it was Robins that attacked Tippi.

 She was lucky it was not Pelagornis or Argentavis, let alone Brontornis or Kelenken.

 People do read your threads. I am sure some people find them very informative.

I just had a look over on dogs and read a post from xtras which didn't seem to be from the xtras I knew of old. So I read a few more threads and xtras certainly seems to have changed the posting style. A few old posters have popped up on dogs since it lost a lot of posters due to the new modding style started over there. It made me wonder, is that really xtras posting or a dormant account reactivated by dogs admin. LordRaven came back last year after not posting for a few years. Again the posting style was different like it was someone else using the account. The Micky account comes back when ever the forum gets really slow or admin takes to much flak. He makes a few posts and drums up a lot of attacks from other posters and shifts the from complaining about admin. Then disappears until the next time he's needed.

Drum shows up out of the blue and becomes an instant admin. There are others as well. HF seldom posts and only to stamp her boot on those she doesn't like with threats of bans. It's like she's been told to step back but can't help herself. Measurer has disappeared but you know she will be back (or someone using the account)

 You mean Dogs is the  forum equivalent of the Three Faces of Eve?

 Or maybe it's like the Land of Oz, and Xtras got given a brain.

 Not a very good one though.

I always got on OK with Xtras.

 Me too, until she showed her true two faced colours on here.
