Windsor 2,233 Posted July 8, 2010 After Germany's losing match he recieved and PETA wants him to be released. On the bright side, i just heard on eurosport that the "oracle of Oberhausen" sees an orange victory in the near future.(So does Mani the psychic parrot of Singapore.) Who'd send a death threat to an octopus...oh wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,069 Posted August 14, 2017 Still trying to figure out the impetus for taking the time to actually remove every post of Vaagheid's. Was that done by the Admins, or by Vaagheid. If the former, they need help. If the latter, he REALLY needed help. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not the only person who did that, Tempus Fugit also removed the vast majority of his early posts as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still....what's the purpose of deleting old posts? The personal time involved in doing so seems outrageous vs the satisfaction of the final result. I mean, if you're moving on, move on.

Vaagheid 141 Posted August 14, 2017 I did that a long time ago when i was still contemplating leaving this site (and might have had a bit to much to drink the evening when i removed my existance from this site). You are not missing a lot by not being able too read my old posts. Why are we dredging up old threads that have not been relevant for 7 years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,075 Posted August 14, 2017 Vaagheid removed his own posts, giving no indication why, afaik. He has dropped in periodically since and still visits occasionally. Oh, hi Vaagy! Cross-posted. Good to see you, don't be a stranger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,095 Posted June 13, 2018 I done a 'predict the scores' thread on the last World Cup. Is it worthwhile doing one for this year? It was only for fun, so don't think you'll amas a fortune. Edit. Sorry folks. I didn't see MSC's post. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted June 13, 2018 Hmmmm this bump and the PB thread reminds me of 4 years ago when I used an octopus to try and get the results. I can find me mentioning it but posts seem to have been culled for whatever reason. Got an octopus, put it in a smallish bin and got 3 predictions I put a score on. England v Italy - Draw. Mexico v Cameroon - Mexico Spain v Holland - Draw. Odds of 21/10, 21/20 + 9/4 so a twenty on it returns £413.08 at PaddyP's..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,399 Posted June 13, 2018 Sounds like that octopus was as accurate as Mystic Meg. *randomly googles* She's 75 now, apparently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted June 13, 2018 Was close to worse on Sunday. After DDT mentioning conger eels, I got a 12-14lb one in a creel, and honestly sat with it in the bottom of the boat going tits for about 3 minutes wondering if I could make it work. Then convinced myself I like my fingers more and hoofed it with a garden hoe out into the water. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
