So i'm struggling to understand the rules of this new game ...

[tattybogle]

if i get 4 Alerts all at once , can i get a Hotel ?

or can i only get a hotel after i've managed to get 4 Alerts to disappear.

if i get 200 Alerts that i can't get rid of even by refreshing the page , does that men i can pass GO ?

[helvella Administrator]

I haven't the slightest idea. It doesn't make any sense to me. About as much as a smoothing iron being the size of a liner.

And I have never understood why the alerts don't have a timestamp on them.

[tattybogle in reply to helvella]

in that case i'm putting 4 on mayfair and the other 4 on park lane , and you're all stuffed till they disappear.

[FoggyThinker in reply to tattybogle]

Surely that's then worth a cheese segment?

[pennyannie]

No - you need a Get Out of Jail card - or you can try Community Service for 24 years ?

😆 here’s to 2025 tats 🥂

[radd in reply to radd]

✋ Stop ‘liking’ me tats, as the notification won’t disappear and risks clogging up my 2024 into 2025 equilibrium 😁

[tattybogle in reply to radd]

ok radd , i don't like you anymore . (and you owe me whatever the rent is for mayfair with 3 hotels)

[radd in reply to tattybogle]

💷 💷 💷 💷 🥳

I am still getting alerts that don’t disappear it’s the new normal for this site

[Stills in reply to Lora7again]

Thought it was all the wine I was drinking actually

HealthUnlocked have clearly taken on another kid on work experience.

It wasn’t broken but by ‘eck, they’ve had a good crack at creating something that now definitely needs fixing. I guess that’s the way to secure a long term job these days.

[nightingale-56 in reply to Jazzw]

They obviously 'can't get the staff' these days!

[Stills in reply to Jazzw]

It’s the Christmas elfers 🧝

[humanbean]

My alerts aren't disappearing in the normal way, but if I go to wherever the alert is pointing at then refresh the page then the alert will vanish.

[radd in reply to humanbean]

Hey hb, this works! 👏

[Lora7again]

Hey tattybogle i miss your pictures of Morecambe Bay it must be looking stormy today 😀

[tattybogle in reply to Lora7again]

BTW, this was a good listen - bbc r4 woman's hour special on games & women games developers (monopoly was discussed) bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00268j3

[JAmanda]

I seem to get an alert maybe once a month..? But maybe that’s what I signed up for - but seems v irregular

[pennyannie in reply to JAmanda]

My Alert isn't lighting up though there are new ' messages there - and then the ' Alert ' stays on as not actioned -

Safest way today is probably for forum members to check their emails :

[Ukie]

I don’t know what you’ve all been drinking at the New Year party, but I think I want some 😂😂

[Stills in reply to Ukie]

[Ellie-Louise]

Go straight to jail, the food is better and they pay your heating bills. 😂

[Stills in reply to Ellie-Louise]

And free education

[jgelliss]

Just have fun. After all laughter and fun is the Best Medicine.

[serenfach]

I feel left out, as my lerts are normal. I will go and sit in a corner and play kerplunk by myself.

[humanbean in reply to serenfach]

Reminds me of that T-Shirt text I remember from my childhood :

"Stay alert! Britain needs lerts!"

[Stills in reply to humanbean]

My childhood t-shirts had Marc Bolan on them and then The Bay City Rollers

[tattybogle in reply to serenfach]

must be 'cos you live beyond the pail , new innovations take longer to get there .... your iffy lert's will no doubt be along in March .

[Stills in reply to tattybogle]

Like my next GP appointment

[serenfach]

Northern telecome workers found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone the Southern telecom workers in the weeks that followed, the team dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in theTimes bulletin: "Southern telecom workers finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the North".

One week later, the Western Telegraph newspaper reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in Swansea, Welsh telecom workers reported that they found absolutely nothing. It was therefore concluded that more than 250 years ago, Wales had already gone wireless."

[tattybogle in reply to serenfach]

you have 5 likes . which means i get to pick you a card from Community Chest... oh dear, it says you need to pay the electricity board 5x however many sheep you have, unless you have dial up, in which case it's 10x . you can pay in groats. ...( or goats, if have no groats)

[Stills in reply to tattybogle]

🐐

[Stills in reply to serenfach]

Love it, I was born in Wales

[Lora7again]

I was playing Yatzee with my family today it’s a game of chance a bit like this site at the moment I just threw 4 in a row. 🎲🎲🎲🎲

[tattybogle in reply to Lora7again]

congratulations , you've won a 'lert'

[Jingley]

[Jingley in reply to tattybogle]

Oh dear. Feel better soon.Try a hot toddy - just don't mix it up with diluted Vicks 🤢

Kids are so thoughtful. I got chicken pox for Christmas when my youngest was about 3.
