No problem

(Hmmm, no one's suggested at this point that actually the table should be a different colour/shape/style. How strange. )

Prepare yourself for a barrage of nontable speak!

What you need, what this country needs, what the whole world and indeed the universe needs is a table that has no prejudice, a table that does not need to be labelled as a "diagram"table, or a "coffee"table. Tables are not used for soley one purpose, they are used for many purposes and in these purposes that they fulfill, they should be known as the one and only nontable

A table without prejudice, a table with no ryhme or reason, a table...without legs

Otherwise known as a shelf?

or it could be a tray! but not a tea tray, because that falls under the prejudice clause again, it'd have to be a nontray...

Ok, and I thought that I rambled...............

I ramble quite a bit, usually up those tall wavy things...hills!

I lie quite a bit too

It could be a table. It could be a desk, actually. My desk in my room is used for all sorts of things. Not specifically anything, just whatever it's convenient for at the moment.

Which classes your table as a nontable!

Well, it's still a table. Just with no specific purpose other than to have stuff on it. It is not a hyphenated- table (like coffee- table). It is a non- hyphenated- table. I rather like it being called that, it's ironic (the name not the table. The table's wood).

My desk is a Heap. A tray without a purpose would just be a plank.

Perhaps it would be good to get some more threads on this page for discussions like this?

You don't want a desk, you want a nontable







You will get me a turkey sandwich

You could just have a table.

Tuuuuurkeeeey Saaaaaaaaaanddddwich....

but that would mean throwing my extremely long letter to the editor of the Mail away

So much effort gone to waste!

Are you going to rant at the editor of the Mail? Please don't let me stop you!

Rant all you like. I did accidently end up with a campaign for tartalone once (tart with custard, tart with cream or tartalone).

Only trouble with nontable is that it implies that there isn't a table at all.

I hereby declare my bedroom a republic. Equal rights for socks! Especially striped socks, which are greatly underappreciated!
Name of republic: The One-Person Republic of Something Or Other
Capital: Not yet declared, see next clause
Government: Anarchy
Population: Me, a drawer-full of socks (one of them missing), and many many piles of various books, notebooks, papers and such things which I fully intend to sort one day, but not right now.

Alright, am I in? Do I get my name in the silly dark-red thing on the main page?
