How offtopic can you get? (Was: Guess the currant poster.)

Postby Cheese » Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:32 pm UTC

Hmm, this thread's probably about the same pointlessness as the 'guess the [i.]previous[/i] poster' thread. But it's here anyway.

The aim is to guess which number from one to ten I'm thinking of who's posting at the time that you post. I guess Cheese, or maybe Twasbrillig.

EDIT: Woot, I was right!

Oh, you meant current poster, not currant poster.

And I was all set to make a dessert joke.

I think this thread should be renamed. The currant poster was Matthias.

Yes, that's exactly why. And to keep this off-topic...

And speaking of pizza, do you think Cici's low price justifies the rather shoddy quality of the food?
