Video transcript
When I was about 19 years old, I'd been to have a few drinks at the Pallion
Inn with a few of my mates. After closing time, they went their way and I
went mine.
On my way home, I was caught short so decided to go into the graveyard
of the local church.
I was standing behind a tree and took a step backwards. Unfortunately,
right behind me was an open grave ready for the next morning.
The next thing I knew, I ended up lying on my back at the bottom of the
grave staring up at the night sky.
Most people think graveyards are scary or "spooky", but I found it very
relaxing and so the next thing I remembered, it was the morning and the
sun was shining!
What had woken me up was a ball flying into the grave. Next thing I saw
was the face of a young bairn looking down to find his ball.
He shouted for his mam, she grabbed him and they both shot off.
It was really hard getting out of the grave and I made sure I never made
that mistake again.
This man's a poet! Anyone else fallen asleep in a freshly dug grave? Can't say I have...Posted on 19/10/2009 at 04:55:13

Works well! It is not obvious, thuogh. Will new users know to click on the yellow bubble or time stamp?Within the thread itself, perhaps you can put the same yellow bubble next to the title of the thread to keep things consistent? Maybe a yellow bubble with a down arrow?Posted on 04/10/2012 at 09:20:20

I agree that no-reply is tacky and makes it sound like you don't want people to reply to your email, wtheher it was automatically sent or not. For those who think it's cool or makes you look professional, I use info@ your-domain.com for everything related to my website, even automatic emails like if someone registers and their password is sent. If they have any problems, have questions or comments, all they need to do is reply back.Posted on 07/10/2012 at 04:19:09
Good point, but I disagree with the fontoote suggestion, having an autoresponse to reply to the auto-responders is playing with fire, you can easily create an infinite loop, and it's sometimes very hard to detect it before it's too late.To save myself from the headache I usually open a specialized contact address just for this, and then redirect it to the main contact e-mail, which allows me to easily filter those emails from the direct contact messages.Posted on 07/10/2012 at 05:04:06
