Best Idea of the week, months and year

Clive,

Quite an interesting site, but then again the majority of people do try to develop their capacities and improve their knowledge. I`ve frequently noted in posts by you and Philip and many others as well references to recent learning experiences.

I think that this is possibly what is meant by Uomo Universale, someone who tries to learn from every experience in their life; someone capable of exploring new vistas instead of closing their mind to any opinion but their own.

As far as the term "Renaissance Man" not applying to women. If we trace the meaning of the word "Man" back a bit further, it turns out to be not gender specific. Man, originally, just meant person, so both male and female can be "Renaissance Man".

Plethora of Planners!

To to original thread, best idea of the week, month, year, Lifespan.

Mine has to be leaving a staff job to go contracting. Its not for everyone mind you. Until I made that move, job security/stay at home was of prime importance.

Then some God damned frog Contractor kissed me and when I awoke I had been air press ganged to site.

How about having a seperate heading for posting Planning Jokes?? (Or, do you think our forum discussions have already enough of them??)

p.s. - Gwen, great LEAP from the STOVE to SITE!!

Happy Planning, anywaz!!

Hello Vishwas,

I started a thread "PLANNING PLANET ANNECDOTE"

I just dont know why they started posting impertinent and "Green Jokes".

Maybe they got lost and dont understand the english language. Too bad, some of these post comes from native english speaker.

Maybe they should consider or it is high time for them to start understanding the "AMERICAN ENGLISH".

But then they feel it an insult to even dare to start understanding the American English considering that US of America was there former colony.

How about if these native english speaking lost soul started learning HINDI. What do you think?

These could be the best idea of the week in the sense that irrelevant post will start to disappear in PP thread.

Cheers

Hi Vishwas,

Charlie is absolutely correct, he did start that thread on 27^th November 2005. To date, no-one else has participated, possibly because they didn’t think it was a good idea, didn’t find it relevant or amusing or maybe something else. So I don’t know where Charlie is finding these impertinent and "green" jokes.

I can’t see what American English has got to do with it, or any other language for that matter, unless Charlie objects to English being the working language of Planning Planet. If that is the case Charlie could always set up his own forum using whatever language he liked, mind you it would probably get the same amount of participation in that as in the thread he set up.

Hi Charlie,

I supposed to bring you flowers but you’re not sick I guess.
BTW, what’s next when you’re in love with planning?

Are you getting married Charlie?


cheers,

edgar

Charlie,

I’m guessing that post 68 was directed partially at me, but I only know 1 "Green Joke"....

What’s green, hairy, and goes up and down?....

... a gooseberry in a lift.


..I’ll get me coat....

Hi Gordon,

The "GREEN JOKES" im refering is the post by GWEN BLAIR.

Do you have a problem with that?

On behalf of PP, it is a problem.

This is not a pornographic site. Any connotation of sexuality should not be entertain or taboo.

But then this is PP, only the moderator can police.

On the other hand, on behalf of the ladies out their that feel insulted on those post, let me assure that it is not the goal of PP to expose sexuality in these forum.

If only Gwen will look at the left hand corner of Planning Planet, the initiator of PP use that mascot because the boy is so innocene. He is only interested in "NETWORKING PLANNING, PROGRAMMING & CONTROL’S PROFESSIONAL AROUND THE WORLD".

I always picture that boy to be the new generation of planner: planning mindset and computer suavy.

Cheers,

Charlie

Clive,

I completely agree with you. If Charlie wants to decide on what is acceptable or not acceptable on a forum, all he has to do is set up his own, then he can lay down whatever standards he wants, but not on Planning Planet.

Until he actually said what was troubling him, I really did have no idea what he was talking about. Gwen`s humorous off-the-cuff remark a "green joke"? What rubbish! Perhaps Charlie should remember the old saying: "To the pure all things are pure." If Charlie sees anything sexual or dirty in Gwen`s remark it says rather more about his mind than Gwen`s remark.

I really think Charlie sees himself as "Mr Planning Planet" and wants to coerce everyone into adopting his own peculiar viewpoint. You’d think as a planner he would know that in project work you don’t adopt a course of action which is never going to work.
