Re gossip poll

Do you lot really have so little gossip? Hopeless.

Naath denies leering at wombats, she says she leers at mongeese.

All the gossip I know is private.

Does it count as gossip if it's private?

Mmm, I tend to think of gossip as something that is by definition passed on rather than information "at rest" (and some online dictionary seems to support this view). Of course it could have been passed on within a very small group including sphyg and not possible to pass on further without a serious breach of confidence.

What ewx said. Or I could tell you gossip about people you don't know... ;)
