Hedgehogs, why can't they share? (I realise it's not a pun, but I can't help rabbitting on).

[a dense loner]

Nice one, 2 pages of shit puns on a thread that started off about traversi blow torching rock. N you lot say people are responsible for what they do. You've all just took away the point of an idiot doing something we all feel is very bad and made subsequent interested readers think ukb is a last bastion of morons. Can I suggest a thread entitled "wank puns put here so as not to detract from any sensible postings"
May I suggest one or in rare circumstances two puns in a thread then get back on track with the original point. Keeps it fresh and slightly interesting

What dense said - I love playing with language, but shit puns for the sake of it stopped being funny long ago, and this thread isn't the place.

[SA Chris]

Dry your eyes. Anything constructive had been milked from the thread ages ago. Everyone had had their say, the message had been delivered to the guilty party, the gulity party had chosen to ignore the message. Do we plan a protest march now?

If you really feel the thread still has legs, we can ask a moderator to please remove the punning section?

[andy_e]

It was a full three days between the last constructive post and Adam Lincoln failing to recognise a joke which sparked the puns.

[Jaspersharpe]

Trust dense to be holier than thou.

[slackline]

What Duma said, they're just not funny, regardless of the thread they're posted in.

[a dense loner]

My eyes aren't wet Chris, I quit crying a long time ago. To say the thread had run its course and everybody had had their say if by this you mean 12 ish regular posters had posted then I guess it had, we should think ourselves lucky that no one else reads ukb. I wasn't aware threads had to be kept alive at all costs

[SA Chris]

You miss my point. What I was saying was the thread had run it's course and no harm was caused by some of us having a bit of fun. It wasn't to try and keep the thread alive.

[a dense loner]

No sir u miss my point, which is that people read the blow torch bit n then carry on reading. They then decide that all the posts after are utter ridiculous, but theyre written by the same guys, and then what happens...

[andy_e]

"Oh, those guys who make valid scientific and ethical statements also have a not-so-serious side too."

Or that!

No, I got that bit the first time. If you are actually worried about what other people reading this site think, you could try adding in a bit more useful contribution, rather than just slagging everything off?

[a dense loner]

I think it's quite obvious not to take a blow torch to rock, I also think its quite obvious not to climb on damp rock, I also think its quite obvious to go for a shit far from the madding crowds. Plus a lot more besides, I don't need a well intentioned geologist or sanitary expert to tell me any of the above however some people do. Did I slag off any of the info that had been given out? No, I slagged off the degeneration of a topic that was supposed to enlighten people

[SA Chris]

I was talking about in general terms, rather than in specific reference to this thread.

Anyhoo, this thread is now just about ready to be locked and logged. It's been fun, and emotional. We can take this discussion offline if you fancy a pint?

[Adam Lincoln]

It wasn't a joke Andi, but the bit about the nun was. Lets keep things factual, or we will end up like ukc.

[andy_e]

That was the post I was referring to, sorry.

[miso soup]

This one also has a bit of Swedish blow-torching at 26:24. 

[Christobal]

Even though I think you are overly sensitive regarding the use of blowtorches I still wanted to share a little experiment.
1:16 into the video.

[Jim]

sensitive?
does your video clearly show that blow torching fucks the rock?

[SA Chris]

Quite. You can see smoking pieces of rock falling off? Clearly not oversensitive, demonstrates why this is such a bad idea.

[masonwoods101]

christobal... dont fully understand what you where trying to prove? you say people are oversensitive but the show a video of rock being damaged by a blow torch... 

[ghisino]

does it show that blowtorching could set a forest on fire, but not quite?
