Saints preserve us, Mr P.! It isn’t in my nature to use rude words like ‘****’. 
And besides…he doesn’t have eyes on his arse.

What’s an offto? And where do you go to pick them? Are they like hops or what?
Offto , is the desired response to a goto.
Not hops…more like skips…as in …skip to another topic…I think 
The word itself can be traced back to the short lived Etruscatin language, that flourished twixt the death of Etruscan and the birth of Latin.
Take care Mr B.
Merry Christmas.

Ha, nice obfuscation! Appropriately enough, it is exactly this sort of ‘humorous’ misleading of innocent posters that the government quango “Offto” was set up to combat. It stands, of course, for Office of Troll Obliteration.
It does a superb job of increasing civility and public-spiritedness on internet forums and is therefore about to be abolished by the Coalition.
brookter baby,
only one fly in the above astute bucket of unguent…well, more of a bluebottle actually. This joker, Bywater. I’m afraid there ain’t nowt innocent about him. Even, Troll, is too light a description of him…Orc, too. No, I’m afraid Mr B, is more of a primordial Balrog.
I’d just like to point out, that I made strenuous efforts a post or two back, to bring this thread back on topic. Where are we now!? The two Mr Bs, and the mousehound have got us 'offtopicking’ again! tch!tch!tch!

Provincial espresso brownies! The more you eat, the faster you can eat them.
1 box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme Premium brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
Candy-coated chocolate candies
8 pretzel nuggets
2 or 3 drops green food color
1 cup Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting (from 12 oz container)
1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 9-inch round cake pan with foil; grease bottom only of foil with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie mix as directed on package, using water, oil and egg. Spread in pan.
2 Bake 40 to 44 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Invert pan onto cutting surface; peel foil from brownie. Trim brownie edge if desired.
3 Stir food color into frosting. Spread frosting evenly over brownie. Cut into 12 wedges. Decorate wedges with candies to look like Christmas tree lights. Center pretzel nugget on bottom edge of each brownie wedge for tree trunk. Store tightly covered.
Expert Tips
Bake brownies as directed on box in square or rectangular pan. Make frosting, adding 1/2 teaspoon mint extract. Cut brownies into squares, and decorate with foil-wrapped rectangular chocolate mints, unwrapped and chopped.
Use a plastic knife to make cutting brownie trees easier.

I got kicked out of the Boy Scouts for eating a Brownie
.
Well what did you expect…a badge? 
My New Year’s resolution is going to be to avoid clicking into the third page of any thread in the And Now For That Latte forum. I have a feeling that the world will seem to make more sense that way.
Keith is going to have to change his sig to “Being bewildered and provincial since 2011” now.
That does not auger well.
I augered a brownie…
You won’t get a badge for that, either! 
tch!tch!tch! you’re disgusting! Should little Sin see that, he’ll go off the rails altogether.
