It’s been going for a little while now, but I think more people need to know about the wonderfulness that is…
The Non-American Dopers Society, aka a message board where us Eurodopers can talk about stuff without having to explain what marmite is. Hurrah!
Of course, Americans are welcome. Just don’t expect us to explain who Terry Wogan is.
Come. Join us. NADS.
I almost forgot the disclaimer - the site is not affiliated with the Straight Dope or the Chicago Reader in any way whatsoever.
You missed off your title:
Francesca
VP of Marketing
And if you’re dumb like me and can’t remember the URL when you’re hiding (sorry, reading/researching) in the library, google ‘nads sdmb’…and hey presto.
What the hell is marmite, and who is Terry Wogan?
And why does the NADS Community Chest only accept contributions in US dollars?
[sub]Now that makes me look generous! The first thing I checked was the contributions page. I just like those things. It makes me feel so alienated, without credit cards…[/sub]
VP? VP? Director of Marketing please!
You wouldn’t ask that if you were Danish. He’s banned from that country apparently.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the Chicago Reader and its affiliates have no control over the board, which has its own set of rules and its own administrators.
NADS is run off EZBoards, which is a US site - hence the dollar thingummy.

JJimm - are you that guy who does voice overs for banks and building societies on radio ads?
You know - the poor sod who has to quietly read out:
[sub]7.2% APR quoted on example sum of £15,000 over 5 years. Average Interest Rate on Loans is 14.4% APR. Terms and Conditions Apply.[/sub]
7 out of ten owners [sub]who expressed a preference[/sub] said their cats preferred it [sub]does not constitute a guarantee. Void where prohibited.[/sub].
No. I am an Imperialist running-dog.
nah, Jjimm is actually the guy who sings “who give’s you extra” in the Halifax ads, and not the branch manager from peckham they use.
Marmite is an all-purpose goat lubricant, and Terry Wogan is part-time Bishop of Bath and Wells, and President of the Board of Trade.
Or maybe not. It all depends, really.
He’s my favourite guy on TV at the moment! He’s so funny!
I thought Terry Wogan was the all-purpose Lubricant and Marmite was the part-time bishop?!
No no no! Marmite is a tarmac substitute! and Terry Wogan owns the local chippy.
Try lubricating a goat with Terry Wogan, and see how far you get.
Actually, that sounds like an idea for a game show. I must telephone Channel Five at once …
I should remind people that it’s free to join.
Are you serious? Have you been eating aluminium foil or something? Funny?
those ads aren’t a patch on 118 118. If I have to hear one more pop song turned into a tune about an 11.9% APR on a mortgage I’m going to start taking hostages.
A marmite is a bishop’s hat and Terry Wogan is a bishop basher.
Should someone have added “No Riff Raff” to the NADS invitation?
