Where there's life, there's hope.
Carrots are lovely. Unlike the sprog that pops up from time to time spouting obnoxious and offensive rubbish. Like Coles to Newcastle, as my good friend Les Dawson used to say.
The banishing of discordant spirits, the exorcism of evil jinns, the dispersal of evil chi, the blocking of irrelevant thoughts. These are the acts of upstanding magicians and mystics, now and forever back into ancient times. Go on! Go on, in my strength, and you'll not be turning back for any trolls.

Are you joking there Michael? You actually knew Les Dawson?

No, I didn't; it was a whimsical affectation. In fact, at the time Les Dawson died, I was no more than a gleam in the milkman's eyes.

Oh, ok. I thought the badly played piano routine was one of the funniest things ever.

Leslie "Les" Dawson, Jr. (2 February 1931 – 10 June 1993) was an English comedian and writer remembered for deadpan style.
2015 - 1993 = 22.
(^) This is advanced, esoteric Qabalah.
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive” (Sir Walter Scott)
“And even in jest, invention’s daughters
May confound the wits and muddy waters” (Norma N Joy Conquest - chris, altho' requested in your other thread will this do as a poem? ;D)

With the piano, Les Dawson’s style was similar to Eric Morecambe’s – who, when rebuked by renowned orchestral conductor Andrew Privet remarked: “Look sunshine, I’m playing all the right notes, though not necessarily in the right order” (or something like that). And this was perfectly true, of course!
Although one could also go on to argue that both artistes owed a debt to Victor Borge, this would probably count as “going off topic” (or something like that)…

So it is, thank you Shiva... I briefly lost the ability to do basic maths! 😮

He did the voice-over for a series of adverts for the post-office too featuring the line "I only popped in for a stamp!" but I most fondly remember him from the quiz show "Blankety Blank"! 😀

I don’t recall the post-office ads Hamal, but he was suitably droll in Blankety-Blank (I always found Terry Wogan a bit too knowingly self-deprecating and ironic) and I most fondly remember him for the over-the-garden-wall chats he used to do in drag with his fellow comedian Roy Barraclough as Cissie and Ada (Les was “Ada”).
In later years, some have found his trademark mother-in-law jokes to be a bit hoary and non-PC (they remind me of Andy Kaufman’s stand-up routine in Man On The Moon (the bit before he did his Elvis impersonation): “Take the mother-in-law for instance. No, please, someone take away my mother-in-law. I can’t stand her!”)
With a politically correct groan to the left and a politically correct groan to the right and a politically correct groan over my shoulder ??? :-[ 😮 ;D

The title of this forum is: Troll Termination.
Like vampires, trolls are supposed to be averse to sunlight - aren’t they supposed to turn to stone or sump’n? So I suppose if we want to terminate one of them (with or without extreme prejudice) we should confuse them (trolls are meant to be rather stupid) into thinking it is earlier than it is, and trap them into staying out beyond the hours of daybreak? Then after they’ve been turned into boulders and the like, they could perhaps be tossed into a river or maybe even have a nice aesthetic rock garden feature made out of them, Japanese-style?
Just a couple of suggestions here. Others may well have different ideas on how to deal with/ “terminate” these troublesome creatures.

There are two types of troll (nouns), and one action (verb):
troll1 - noun "a mythical, cave-dwelling being depicted in folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance." [sometimes they live under bridges, and exact tolls from travelers (Note: troll = toll) 😀 ].
troll2 - noun - "a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting." >:(
troll3 - verb "make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them." 😮
Nothing here (^) about sunlight or calcification.
The type of troll indicated in this forum is troll2.
Others may well have different ideas on how to deal with/ “terminate” these troublesome creatures.
Once a troll has been identified ...

Thank you for that tasty morsel Shiva: much "food for thought", there!
