And it is Chris, on the defunct Panasonic site we had some fun …

Are you concerned no one is reading your posts, are you not eating, losing sleep, then do this. When writing your post, about 3/4 through add in a ) don’t put in a ( just include a ).

Folk will go back looking for the ( and as a result scrutinise and take in your message. Try it works every time.

Thanks for keeping the site going!

Here’s another ploy you can try. If you’re engaged with a member here in an on line discussion that’s become somewhat heated, and you have a final argument that will definitely settle the issue, do this.

Write your complete final post in your notepad then copy and post only the first half of it. Leave it for an hour then edit it, adding the rest of your argument. The offender will get the first half in a notification email, and hurriedly decide to answer the first half. Then when he logs on he’ll see the rest of your post and this will throw him off kilter with his answer, making it no sense at all. You win!

I know I know you might feel sorry for him and decide to log on and tell him how you did it. No! No! don’t do that you might want to use this trick again.

Cheers.

I realize I'm late on this & yeah, the way things are going towards social (although I've been on here, just didn't see this thread/post) but yeah Thanks Chris for the site & hard work and effort. It's been helpful. I found it more effective than Facebook groups. Anyway yeah I think I started around '08 which at the time felt late on this game, but 14 years later wow I feel I was early to the digital video transformation. I feel I kept up.

O/T. Drink more tap water folks. At Macquarie hospital here in Sydney, more than 50% of male day admissions are dehydrated,
some worse than others.

On arrival they make everyone drink 2-4 glasses of tap water over an hour.

Cheers.

The enforced drinking of water also doubles as a prostate screening mechanism. :-D

(Enlarged prostates leave less room for the bladder to expand as it accumulates urine before feeling the need to be emptied.)

You're welcome.

Allan Black · May 19th, 2022, 03:39 PM

The docs. at Macquarie hospital take it very seriously guys.

Cheers.

Boyd Ostroff · May 20th, 2022, 06:05 AM

You posted something completely random and off-topic in an unrelated thread on a digital video forum so naturally people are not going to take it seriously. The first thing that came to mind was General Jack T. Ripper from "Dr. Strangelove" and at least that is related to film/video.

"God willing, we will prevail in peace and freedom from fear and in true health through the purity and essence of our natural fluids."

(FWIW, I've always drank lots of water ever since I was a small child - I really am a "water man" - so I don't need any reminders to stay hydrated.)

Allan Black · May 20th, 2022, 07:08 PM

Sorry Boyd, the way the concern with the serious % of de-hydrated people and their subsequent health problems was explained to me by the doctors in this area, I thought it was well worth going O/T here, for the many other valuable visitors to the forum, who maybe don’t drink enough tap water.

Some could well be in the de-hydrated % of people without realising it, and they could maybe develop health problems and stop visiting here. If I thought it was going to cause any trouble, I wouldn’t have posted anything. Sorry.

Cheers.
