You can spell these words the British way or the wrong way, we don't mind. smile
To seek that sweet escape
In a huge box of caramel toffee
Nut brittles and raspberry creams
And a fresh espresso coffee

Life is like a box of chocolates
Wasn't that Forrest Gump?
This poem is really terrible
Just like a stomach pump

Leaving that as the last line
Would have been really cheap
So I decided on something else instead

In 2017 I'm going to concentrate on improving my physical health after a couple of recent scares. I'm also going to try and be a bit more stress-free as life is too short to carry so much worry on your shoulders.

What would the Fonz do?

Also, I swear I used to be able to delete peoples' comments off my stories. This was very useful if someone accidentally commented the same thing a number of times. But now there's no delete button. (My story 'Lane' has been sadly afflicted.)


Only moderators can do this. I had a look at your story to tidy it up for you but couldn't see any duplicate comments.

Isn't that comp closed now, so we can reveal the scores?


It is closed.

Maybe we could just put the word 'COMP' under the score box or something? A visual indicator that it was a competition entry as opposed to a normal story submission?

While the comment section exanple might be easier on the eye in some situations, it's essentially still black text on a white background. I'm all for user customization though. Too bad user stylesheets are not (as easily/widely?) supported by browsers anymore as they used to be. That way everyone could have the colours set to their personal preferences. But some options provided by Lush would be nice, especially if the colours would be completely free to choose.


Correct. It was just a thrown-together photoshop mock-up from three years ago, an example of what I had in mind. The whole concept needs a lot of work.

A few basic controls would be better than none, though, so I still think it would be a welcome addition.
I made a suggestion back in 2013 about creating a 'night mode' or 'reading mode' for Lush. It would work by utilizing a secondary CSS file activated by clicking a toggle button. The original concept also incorporated the idea of a reading pane which would allow you to temporarily control both the text size and background colour on the story pages. This was primarily to assist the visually impared and dyslexic.

If this is what you guys had in mind we could possibly revisit the idea if Nicola approves. Maybe we could come up with something a little more Kindle-esque in design?

Perhaps we could save Nicola and Gav a job later on and keep this thread on topic please.


US actress Carrie Fisher, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars series, has died aged 60, days after suffering a heart attack.

Fisher was taken ill on a flight from London to LA on Friday and was taken to hospital when the plane landed. But a family statement said with "deep sadness" she died on Tuesday morning.

As well as starring in other films such as The Blues Brothers and When Harry Met Sally, Fisher also wrote four novels and three memoirs.

In a statement released on behalf of Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd, spokesman Simon Halls said: "It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8.55 this morning."

"She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers."

Singer George Michael has died at the age of 53, his publicist has said.

The star, who launched his career with Wham! in the 1980s and continued his success as a solo performer, is said to have "passed away peacefully at home" in Goring, Oxfordshire.

Thames Valley Police say they are treating the death as unexplained but there were no suspicious circumstances.

His former Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley said he was "heartbroken at the loss of my beloved friend".

Again, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

I'd hate to think that someone's generosity is getting taken advantage of by a multi poster troll (which it has been).


Has it?

If Lush is making a member remove their stories, a notice should be sent at the very least to that member's followers but I would recommend to their friends as well. Today I went to read a story that time would not permit me to read yesterday and not only was that story GONE, so were ALL of the stories that member had previously posted. This was undoubtedly the very best writer I have ever read. This was very disappointing.


Why would moderators taken down an author's entire back catalogue of stories if they had previously been approved and published? If all of this author's stories were taken down then I would think the author did it themselves. You should contact them directly.

We have the Veteran badger for those who have been a member for 5 years. Perhaps we need a 10 year badge in view of the recent announcement that Lush is now 10 years old.

so, please document below any issues you encounter. please remember to include your OS (operating system) and browser to help me replicate and resolve these issues.


I've got one for you. (Running Firefox 50 on macOS Sierra 10.12.1)

If you maximise the main story field, a feature I think is fantastic, the top of the gray toolbar hides behind the Lush red header and you cannot see the top row of buttons including the one to minimise it back down.

I was reading a story recently when I was interrupted and closed the Lush page. I cannot find the story and am hoping that someone here will be able to point me in the right direction. The story was about a young man going for an interview by train, having sex in the train's toilet with the woman opposite whom he was sitting, discovering that the job entailed writing erotica. He was laid by the lady interviewer and, after the interview, on the train home, he was approached by a female who had also been at the interview. She said to him that she had been aroused by his contribution to the proceedings. It was at this point that I was interrupted. At the time I was reading this, I was unaware of the History drop down menu in my browser...

Can anyone enlighten me, please? TIA, Ed.

If you type in the word 'train' and then sort the results by 'Date Added', that will probably be your best bet.
In the UK 'gob' is a crude word for mouth, and to 'gob off' is slang for taking in a loud, opinionated manner.

Why is everyone looking for photos of cocks?
There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each.

Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house.

Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purpose of the calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles (1.3 km) per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles (125.83 million km), not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa’s sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second (1083 km/s), 3000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at poky 27.4 miles per second (45.7 km/s), and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour (25 km/h) - that is four thousands of a mile (4/1000) per second (6.9 m/s).

The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (two pounds, or 0.906 kg, that is), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons US (508,000 t metric), not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds (136 kg). Even granting that the “flying” reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can’t be done with only eight or even nine of them - Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons (54,864 t metric), or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).

600,000 tons (606,600 t metric) traveling at 650 miles per second (1083 km/s) creates enormous air resistance, and this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion Joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousands of a second (0.00426 s), or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.

Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 miles per second (1083 km/s) in 0.001 seconds, would be subjected to top acceleration forces of 17,500 g’s. A 250 pound (113 kg) Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force (195,470 kg force, or 1.9547 MN), instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo.

Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.
