Just spotted this story about the deranged guy on the 26..........

A website is set up to encourage people from Portobello to get together on-line and form a cyber community. People embrace that idea. They begin to form on-line relationships and develop a lively forum. Those on-line friendships spill over into 'real' life. They meet up for meals, parties and at th...

I'd like to ask a question about Wangi's role on talkporty.

I seem to remember a few theatrical near-flounces from Bob himself over the years so there is nothing new in that. So its a bit hypocritical for him now to criticise the actions of two stalwarts of the forum who, I'm sure, would not have taken this course without feeling that the issue at hand was i...

I think we should get away from the discussion of what is "boring". It is perhaps unfortunate that the word was used in the first place as one of the reasons for deleting the counting thread. It's only one thread in PP that makes reference to that, the rest are, as I've said, parlour games. OK, the...
