ive been floating round the forum for a couple of weeks now and have read many of the old topics and have a question.
Excactly what is a Bungle point

ah right this is a long story but its a good laugh (to some anyway)
A Bungle point is something of invention by sillybilly after I sent one of my own topics off topic with a remark about a bad bit of road. For sending my own topic off on a tangent I was given a Bungle point as a mark of sending something off topic. Doesn't mean a lot really, the real joke goes back much further and can be found in some posts in the off topic section from around April/May (called I believe Totally off topic). Basically it was from a relevent chat about Martyn (Bungle 80a's) Lady Anne, he said he was painting it bling bling blue. This started off a long and massive chat about chavs and their way of speaking, then developed into various forms of talking ie posh, much annoying Matt in the process. PTLRcecil (Bungle80a's cousen) noticed that Bungle had sent a few topics off topic and invented the new term "Bungled". Since then, sending a topic off topic on this forum has been known as "bungling" a topic, and the "Bungled" section of the topic would be moved by the admin to the off topic section.
Hope this clears things up, basically if you look back in the off topic section you will find some hillarious banter that caused the term bungle (starting from a topic by PTLRcecil, called "Blame Bungle"

Yes and I'me developing some special compost for my Petunias for next spring I will have you know.

This is to ensure maximum flowering duration.

And I'd like to make it clear that this isn't cyber-bullying, it's building a community.

No offence Bungle!

And oh yes Riveresked is when someone has sent something off topic by mentioning Doctor Who. Can't think who they named it after

I believe Dr Who used to keep Petunias in the Tardis you know.

This is the best post since itself!

So judging by what youve said all topics end in rubish or Doctor who. I'll keep that in mind (what little of it there is)

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 8:48 pm

Wonder who the new Doctor will be.

Bill Oddie? AKA the Stig.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Ade Edmondson. Or Rik Mayell.
