It’s been going for a little while now, but I think more people need to know about the wonderfulness that is… **[NADS.](http://pub75.ezboard.com/bnads)** 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. ---

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. That URL again [http://pub75.ezboard.com/bnads](http://pub75.ezboard.com/bnads) ---

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. ---

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 … ---

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?
