I feel utterly and totally and completely compelled to say that I love the word "risible"

Just a thought that popped into my head, that's all.

Never heard of it. What does it mean - hope it is not one of those words that has an ancient meaning that will have the board morality police up in arms.

John

Stop taking the p**s

I have stayed off your thinly veiled thread today and hoped (although never really expected) you would have the same respect.

Please stay off this thread and stop being such an idiot.

You are causing upset on a regular basis and although I could not care a fig about you, I do care about my friends when you continue to upset them on a regular basis.

Do you enjoy putting people off using the site?
(that is a rhetorical question because I really do not want you to answer)

Mis spent youth comes to mind, although the thought of Errol spending the night in a tent with a shepherd is probably why he cannot get the word out of his head, A very trawmatic event for any young sheep.

Edit, even worse for a Welsh sheep ;-)

It is a word that has often been used in our family but not when we were camping.
