Good ol' family traits
In my family there are a few things that we do that I never realised weren't the norm until boyfriends or friends came to stay.

For example, after anyone says "Stop", my mum will inevitably shout "Hammertime!" from wherever she is in the house.

Also, if you ring the house phone, whoever picks up will give the normal, "Hello". This HAS to be replied with "Is it me you're looking for?".


And finally, my dad's obsession with trying to crowbar the word "scrote" into as many sentences as possible.
In my dad's world;
Porridge oats = porridge scrotes
Strictly Come Dancing = Scrotely Come Dancing.
Vodafone = Scrotafone.

Seriously? Or is this another family tradition when you respond to a family member on an internet forum?
Did you both know each other were on B3ta? How great if you didn't.

The phone one is great. I have a few like that but they're not really family traditions, but for everyone.

Wow! I just checked your profiles and Lucy had 170 QOTW answers and I thought 'that's a LOT'. Then I see BGB has over 900!

Prof...

Those numbers denote how many times they have clicked 'I like This'- not how many posts they have submitted

Makes me think though...Is there a way we can check how many posts we have actually done over the years?

Hmm...off to the suggestions board I go....

Ahh yes. I knew something was amiss somewhere. Turns out it was in my attention to the small print.
I think you can select QOTW from the search old posts link dropdown menu. Then count back.
