Yeah, I've noticed some people just have 'mailto' links. How do they do that ?
BORED's isn't even an address 'RIGHT' !?

Perhaps this is where we should take Jon's advice and become victriolic.
Vaguely related, I was surfing radio 2 and Wogan's forum and never seen so much spleen venting bile as in the arguments there... None of your TOGs chatting aimiably as you'd expect.

Is that like vitriolic? Can you not spell, you fool! Get out there and get an education, you think you're so clever, Dr "I'm good at maths" rob.

And what kind of a name is Rob anyway? We don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.


Something like that? ;-)

You see that bit where it says 'Post Edited (03-07-03 13:43)'
Very suspicious I'd say...

If you two boys can't behave I'm going to have to give you both a jolly good thrashing!

Can't seem to get the hang of this vitriolism(?) thingy ;)

who asked you? eh? Eh? Step outside and say that.


Oh, I really can't be bothered with all this vitriolicalism. It's so much easier to be nice to people.

Vitriol could be the word you're looking for...

But I wouldn't want to start another fight. It's too late on a Friday. Time I wasn't here in fact. See you all next week.

Good job nobody's taking that quote out of context...

=======================

You lot do seem a little bit nasty up above... "Bored", Welcome to the fforum, it's considered good ettiquette to type in lower case - IF YOU WRITE IN CAPS LIKE THIS THEN WE ASSUME YOU'RE SHOUTING. Cough. We won't put the answer up in the fforum as it might spoil the challenge for other people, however there are a few hints that I don't think will spoil it.

1: The answers are in The Eyre Affair.
2: All the odd ones out are either missing from the Nextian world or are obviously odd anyway.
3: The one that most people get stuck on is the one with the mole, gadfly, cat and whatever the other one was. These are things in the Nextian world, but one of them is different from the others. As the title of the game might imply.
$: Frankly, and not giving the game away *too* much - one of them is a bar, the others are something else. Trust me to remember that detail.

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

we were just seeing how vitriol went, and decided we didn't care for it much...

I think the fact is that we're rubbish at it. Too much effort...

I am having a real hard time with the odd one out puzzle. I have been reading the clues, but I still don't seem to understand. If someone could please help me out, that would be quite nice thanks!
