Yeah... We mention 'other-brands' or dare to use sarcasm and the PU-police jump on us in seconds... This guy seems to have licence to freely advertise his brothel and the PU-police are nowhere in site!

If you're referring to a spammer I haven't seen then the PU police will be on the case.

I can't find 'him' on the site now so...

Just to be serious for a moment, should dodgy posts appear on ANY thread, just send a link to one of the mods who'll deal with it appropriately.

Back OT, nice day today, sun's out.

That's quite unnecessary Dave. Sarcasm doesn't help anyone.

We can all help by not mentioning spammers as then that makes another post that has to be removed, especially when people quote the spam. If you just ignore them they will be dealt with.

PU mods are allowed to sleep. You can't seriously expect there to be one on duty 24 hours a day, given they are all in the UK.
They do a very good job of getting rid of spammers, so much so you may not have even noticed their presence.

Most PUers wouldn't have known of wenziga's existence if Stan hadn't commented on him here.
Just ignore them and they do go away.

Thanks Gwyn, just for the record the number of spam posts that have been removed since the forum started is a staggering 16,777,200

You're an easy target Stan...

...Gwyn couldn't remember the other names!!

Don't take offence, take a small measure of gin, add ice, a slice of lemon and tonic to taste, and chill out

There have been far too many points made on this page.

Please desist at once. Can we please grow down and start acting like children.

Same old story Stan, get the ringleaders and gangs usually fall apart

On a lighter note my sides are still aching, if anyone wants to see a load of corny, sexist and sometimes gross humour then go see American Pie Reunion

Don't know about the gin or lemon but I do have a swig of tonic just before i get into bed. It seems to help a little way in preventing cramp in my legs as I can't take quinine tablets anymore. Some nights I get more that 3hrs sleep.

Gin with bitter lemon, now there is a refreshing drink for a hot day. If you can remember when we used to get those often
