What is the current exchange rate in GB between Rolos and coin of the realm?

Just curious... ;-)

Rolos are real.
It's the PM that doesn't exist!

I now recall that there was one poster who was dumber than Farlie
(though dumb in Farlie's usual way), in that he reposted one of
Farlie's NQAS posts (several hundred words) just to add "What on earth
is this?". A sensible person would have posted a Google link and
asked "What on earth is the linked post?"; a really sensible person
would have read it himself and realised what it was.

Ooh, there's been hundreds. w_tom deserves an honorary mention for (a)
popping up whenever somebody mentioned surge protectors and (b) refusing to
accept the fact that top-posting is wrong (unless you're Brian or replying
to him), then there was that idiot who posted an oh-so-hilarious reply to
Mikey's post about his cat being put down...but to my mind the most
annoying c.s.s poster ever was Chimp, who posted a binary, got *THWAP*ped
for it, and had a huge month-long hissy-fit as a result.

I can't quite believe I remember all this, it must be six or seven years
ago!

Farlie wasn't dumb, just misunderstood and incredibly off-topic.

Lister on the other hand...
