The Other PLace.

Hilarious. Fish puns are actually the entirety of acceptable left-wing humour, as decreed by Karl Marx in the introductory paragraph of Das Kapital, back in 1867. The book itself is actually stuffed with fish puns. To the gills, in fact.

Pretty sure the sequel allowed funnies about molluscs too..

"I used to keep racing snails.."

Etc etc

I’m thoroughly enjoying the ongoing discussions about This Place in The Other Place.

It seems to me that there's a certain cohort of posters who can't quite accept that they got what they wanted. NACA has gone and this is a separate forum. They won but can't get over it.

It's predictable. Utterly predictable. Someone suggests that the main forum could do with livening up and it quickly descends into complaints about the moderators and complaints about a subforum which doesn't even exist any more. Very little in the way of positive suggestions on topic.

A soupçon of homophobia as well, just to add a little spice.

Thank god - you've saved me reading the bloody thing.
(I can't resist: What kind of fish did Marx hate? Czardines. )

Well I don't know about that Ted ...

But I think the split has done it's job in making the Mods life a LOT easier (at least assuming they ain't lying about this!).👍

You got a problem with that, poofter?

I tried to introduce aquatic bird-based puns over the other place. Nobody joined me so I've ducked-out and left in a state of high widgeon....

Always. Unless there's an obvious piscine or gastropodal reference, in which case it's up to you to decide.*

(Tried to shoehorn in a decapod pun then suddenly realised that's a crustacean! Phew - narrow escape from the Gulag there!)

All these fish puns have been terrible so far, when someone comes up with a good one let minnow.

It may take a few dace.

Eel be a cold day in hell when we give up on our fish based pollocks in this plaice.
