Godot 149 Posted April 13, 2006 One thing about a gravy addiction is that it does allow you to maintain your grammatical structure. Sadly, though, it wrecks the front of your jumper. But after God know's how many (she really does) days of abstinence I think I have it beaten. So there's hope for Bruno and TF. But you have to want to do it and I think they're both enjoying themselves too much for that just now. I'm proud I beat it without GA (Gravyholics Anonymous). I couldn't think of anything worse than sitting in a circle boring on about the Sunday joint and the way the meat and veg was just sitting there naked. Sorry about this but I can't live this lie any longer. I have something to confess. Mrs Godot has been away and she came back last week and cooked Sunday lunch - Yorkshire pud, the works. The beginning of this post was maintaining the pretence that I have gone gravyless throughout Lent. But on Sunday, faced with that plate of good things united in the way that Delia intended, I picked up the gravy boat and poured - drizzled at first like they do in poncy restaurants, but then I just lashed it on, draining the jug right down to the little lumps at the bottom. The Godettes were thunderstruck and just a little triumphant at my weakness. I feel a broken man and don't know where turn other than...... the gin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest R'Tron Posted May 24, 2006 Is it needed to register to make a killing in post counts or can it be done the way I am now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted May 24, 2006 Is it needed to register to make a killing in post counts or can it be done the way I am now. You need to register, dude. It's painless, though, and I've heard that Grim Reaper will give you a £50 cash prize once you reach your 1000th post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted May 25, 2006 Is there any real difference between this thread and the pinned Drunk, Bored thread? Both just contain a lot of bad tempered posts and cathartic whingeing, can't they be merged? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted May 25, 2006 Is there any real difference between this thread and the pinned Drunk, Bored thread? Both just contain a lot of bad tempered posts and cathartic whingeing, can't they be merged? Yes, there is a difference. This thread is supposed to be exclusively about post-whoring, an example of which might be someone posting to request an unnecessary merger of two different threads. However, not all drunken fights are about post-whoring. Although I'll admit I've never had any other reason to fight with my fellow DLers, that doesn't preclude me from finding one. If I do find one, I'll have a go in the drunken fight thread, not in the post-whore thread. As the initiator of this post-whore-related thread I'd like it to be unmerged with the drunken fighting thread. If necessary, I'll post again and again and again in defence of this post-whore thread's right to sovereignty over post-whority and its related issues. I think my RSI might be related to the number of times I've typed the word "whore" recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted May 25, 2006 I think my RSI might be related to the number of times I've typed the word "whore" recently.I think I also have a form of RSI related to the word "whore", but I think the similarity of our condition ends there.

This thread is supposed to be exclusively about post-whoring, an example of which might be someone posting to request an unnecessary merger of two different threads. Maybe they should all be merged into a DeathList Whinge thread, where anyone who wants to moan can post. The Most Obsessive Deathlisters thread for instance seems very similar to this one.

pulphack 6 Posted May 26, 2006 that's the difference, isn't it. this is a 'i didn't need to post but i did' thread, whereas the fight thread is this PLUS whatever you F*****g want to say you bunch of F*****g toss-pot c**ts who couldn't wank your way out of a paper bag - a paper bag full of sh*t, you arseholes. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millwall32 114 Posted May 30, 2006 I only occasionally check the "overall top posters page" because my 760 depresses me( oh how I want to be considered a post-whore). But I note with great interest that Tempus is closing in on 3000. If he hits that target could we elevate him to post-pimp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pulphack 6 Posted May 31, 2006 should have thought that was obvious - i was demonstrating the difference between mere post-whoring (like this) and the fight thread, in response to a poser a few posts above. read it in context, for gods sakes.
