    "Oh damn you're right. I completely forgot to give you your medal, Here you are, how silly of me." And when I show it to you, your response is that of an 8 year old. Done here. I'm way past worrying about embarrassing myself, that ship sailed long ago. Can you say the same?

    Exactly the kind of response that gets everyone totally pissed off with you. No possible admission of error in any form. I stand by what i said in the first place. I have no idea what makes some North Americans behave this way, but you just prove that for some reason some of them do.

    If you think Uli and Quim are idiots, I'd suggest you need a good long think about that. There may well be idiots around here - but they aren't them. Fire it about all you like, but justify it, and you are nowhere near. (nor in my opinion will you be, the targets you are choosing make far more sense than you do so far). carry on.

    No? Not much of a fan of FTFY generally, well, not for spelling or general grammatical errors where the meaning is clear and it's just a typo, (largely because sooner or later I'll have egg on my face when I inevitably do it) but I can't get my head around exactly what you mean if you did mean to use prior.

    And you're yet another North American self-satisfied twat. You call out the things you think are wrong, and go deadly quiet when your own mistakes are pointed out to you. Ask me for an example, I double dare you.

    To be fair - as well they should be. And in any case it makes fuck all difference how much padding you wear if the damage is caused by the brain hitting the inside of the skull there's simply no way to pad that. Same shit has been argued for cycle helmets and don't fucking start me on that one. I'm not disagreeing Uli, all I'm trying to point out is there's a lot of arguments that surround this topic and one needs to be careful.

    The ones that complete the hurdles and steeplechase by headbutting the barriers out of the way, who else?

    Operation hope so

    Trump aside, because he's got the mark now, this is too far in the future for me, another one that could last at least a decade to get 3, possibly more.

    Impressed. What happened to Steve the rude troll? Actually strike that, I don't care. Cool. Not that my approval means a fucking thing. but anyway, good job.

    Prince Philip Duke Of Edinburgh

    Doubtless one or other will point out that we all live in it since it's a region of space that includes the milky way, which of course is technically quite correct. But the point is they are the only 2 that feel the need to actually include it under their avatar. True, I don't think I ever understood more than about 10% of his posts, max. Takes some dedication to be that unintelligible.

    Prince Philip Duke Of Edinburgh

    I think it's living in the Virgo Supercluster that does it .. There are now 2 people (or possibly greys? Whatever) within the last few hours that you've considered (and you're not alone), have an 'interesting' (or drunk) viewpoint or two, and both claim to be from there or at least partly from there. I knew I'd seen it as the habitat for more than one of our members, and now they're both within a few posts of each other just above. Neither of them is Bladan either.

    The Deathlist Christmas Special!

    Close, told some guys who were doing some work outside today about whamaggedon. They had smooth fm playing on one of those DeWalt radios (why won't an ordinary radio do?) but no so loud I could hear it inside. So of course one of them shouted at me for something and then as I get there says 'Oh I didn't need anything but George Michael just came on'. I'm halfway through calling him every name under the sun for dragging me out there to get whamageddoned, but it was Careless Whisper...the git. No more tea for that bastard.
  14. You didn't start a new thread with a poll for this? Every newbie and his dog is showing you how to do it, and you have a worthwhile reason and don't? Pity.

    Ideas for position no. 1 on 2021 DL

    Excellent idea. Completely on board with that, it'll piss creepy off even more than he has been so far with some no account English sport at the top of the list. But where are you considering sending it? c/o The Mandela Bar, Warwick University definitely isn't going to cut it, not least since it hasn't been called that for something like 25 years. NB. And probably of no particular interest to anyone: But a true story nonetheless. I once threw up in that exact bar in the late 80's (hell it may even have been with the fabled committee there). A friend was in their Rugby team and I was visiting when they had one of those post match 'drinking circle' things. Some will know the idea, a bunch of daft rules such as only drinking with your left hand, asking permission from the chairman to make a comment etc etc. Make any error at all and you have to drink about half a pint as a penalty or possibly even the whole thing for a serious infraction. Do I know the rules? Do I fuck. So I start with some minor miss-step and instantly get called on it then drink that penalty with my right hand incurring a further fault and a whole pint.... you can doubtless see where this is headed...... Long story short I had drunk 3 pints of fizzy lager in the space of as many minutes and hadn't even sat down yet. Not being a fast drinker in the first place and lager not my thing even if I were, the fizz got to me and I chucked the lot straight back up in a corner, what a wuss - not even remotely drunk...meh. At least I was out of the game before they got to the part where they made you drop your trousers and then shove a length of bog-roll up your arse crack and set light to the bottom of it - you have to drink a full pint before you can remove it.....Happy days.

    Because you are uniquely positioned to spot that? As opposed to all us dullards? Cunt.

    Cunt. That's more swearing per inch than I just posted.

    Please don't swear on my thread? Da fuq? (not really swearing) You started a conversation, you don't fucking own it (yeah, ok, definitely swearing). Fucks sakes, why do arseholes always fucking think because they start a thread they have some power to dictate some set of arbitrary self appointed fucking rules for what's subsequently said in it? Fuck off. (unnecessarily excessive swearing, sue me)

    Your knight in shining (if web digited :P) armour read* (or deciphered, whatever) them though. Boiled his piss it seems. Fair play. *I didn't bother at all, which it turns out I should have done, since that's what made him so ornery about it when I kind of defended the guys right to have an opinion.

    Actually I don't do many, too much work. I do however think that if one does but doesn't post much it does give you the right to an opinion. And hahahahaha can't win em all. Ok. As above. Don't actually do that many myself, and am also apparently tedious, so only the 7 years gives me any right to an opinion at all. I said we probably agree more than disagree.

    Hell no. But you said JK had only made "a whole 195 posts" in 3 years. Did I misread the implication that this was not enough of a contribution to have an opinion on a feature? And that if he had posted 10,000 times but said nothing much that was enough? In practice I probably largely agree with you, perhaps unsurprisingly. Only on what a worthy contribution is do we differ. I don't personally conflate quantity with quality in that I'd sooner read 200 interesting posts than 10,000 tedious ones (though I'm not saying what JK posts necessarily are or aren't here, but he does take part in the pools that are the reason for this place).. And if they are all tedious I'd sooner only have to wade through the 200. At least two of the posters you regularly take pot-shots at post an awful lot. I don't find their contributions particularly stimulating either, but that's by the by if what is being asked is whether they contribute sufficiently to have their opinion considered. Are you saying that the author of 10k tedious posts is more worthy to have their opinion considered than 200 (tedious or otherwise but mostly related to actual dead pools) over a long period?

    Ah well now that's a bit of a double edged sword though isn't it? I'd rather have a couple of hundred posts over that 3 years, mostly relating to actual pool entries, than several thousand all consisting of utter drivel. Mind, it is a way to trim stuff in a hurry. Oh it's you.....next thread.

    Not enough, he never ceased to amuse me. Yes yes I know he had to go, he went too far. But personally I'd rather be amused with some slight chance of actually being offended than bored out of my mind by one FFBI beating some other FFBI in a comp.

    Sadly I discover I wasn't even the first person to think of fixing that. Not by quite a way. ETA, Oh and if you find logging on and off something of a pain, you can always use a different browser.
