  Just a few minutes ago, I opened up AmFone, using my usual bookmark in Firefox, and the Technical forum was filled—pages and pages—with old threads, starting with 2010 and working back in time; each one flagged as "New". I reloaded the page, and they were all gone—back to the expected recent posts. Did anyone else see this? Was it just me? An undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of undercooked potato? (Apologies to Charles Dickens.)

It must have been the mustard. I had the beef and didn't have the same experience as you.

Colman's English Mustard, appropriately. Potent stuff. Didn't hear any rattling chains, fortunately.

Oh, you'd lose that bet; I'm certified mushroom free. I've never eaten one of those slimy, vomitous, pustulent bits of fungal putrescence in my life. Yuck!

I didn't have this dreadful apparition on the board, but I have been watching every 'scrooge' / 'A Christmas Carol' video I have been able to find. That title/productions themselves are ghostly as in they always appear about this time of year. I do believe, I must!

1910 A ChristmasCarol_silent
1935 Scrooge_seymour Hicks
1938 a-christmas-carol-Reginald Owen
1949 The Christmas Carol as told by Vincent Price
1951 A Christmas Carol (HD) Alastair Sim as Scrooge
1970 scrooge-Albert Finney better qual
1971 A ChristmasCarol_animated
1977-bbc-christmas-carol-Michael Hordern
1979 an-american-christmas-carol-Henry Winkler
1984 A Christmas Carol George C Scott
1988 Scrooged -Bill Murray-
2010 A Christmas Carol animated Jim Carey dvdbak
2018 The Man Who Invented Christmas - Charles Dickens
2019 a christmas carol-season1 Guy Pearce 3hrs

May you be haunted too!

Patrick Stewart did a pretty decent Scrooge, too, back in 1999 as I remember.
