New Mods ?

[Dog]

Isn't it about time the current mods on this board retired to let some fresh meat in, and hopefully liven the place up a bit.

I would like to see a mod of the following criteria:

female mod

gay mod

asian mod

old mod

lesbian mod

chav mod

master bates

deppo

We cover most of those criteria between us. I am a lesbian chav, for example.

Burn the Witch, burn the witch! :o

Boy did you miss Rosie on form last night. Place was chocka with 7's players - about 4 rows standing in front of the stage. Could swear Rosie played Sweet Child of Mine with her naughty bits at one point when she took over lead guitar...

But I haven't been very well today

I would be more than willing to step into one of these new mod roles. I'm pretty sure I tick all the boxes as most people say I'm a complete pr*ck.

Chavy? Moi? Yellow Seat Man I can understand, but I think chavy probably describes me least out of those six really. I'm more Asian, slightly lesbian mod.

[Kadeem Hardison]

When I checked my profile on the Saints Web (Wordpress) homepage, I was greeted with this message:

WordPress 2.8.6 is available! Please notify the site administrator.

This is obviously important information. I am scared that, as I can't post on the main board, and I don't have the PM system enabled, I will not be able to get this information to an administrator in time. As this has 'mods' in the title and knowing the nature of the type of person that wishes to moderate a forum, I assume that all of the mods will read this thread at least a few times each today.

WordPress 2.8.6 is available!

[Kadeem Hardison]

Not to mention that Pancak also suggests that being gay equates to enjoying BDSM. Homophobic and racist in one post. Impressive. It is ok though, at least it isn't sarcasm. That really is offensive. Eh, mods?

I assure you DSM's homosexuality and his love of bondage are entirely coincidental.

Pssst, you missed out the fact I generalised over drivers of car manufacturers too. You are lagging, 4/10 for trolling :(

Ha, but I'm not the one who loves dressing up in uniform before getting high. Or who plays around with long, cylindrical "items".

[norwaysaint]

Why is sarcasm, or more often, satire, treated as a bigger crime than just posting insults or casual racism on this board.

I'm not too fussed about either, but I see enough insulting language on, for example, the climate change thread, that if those involved were being infracted, they would've had a ban by now. Yet people who have posted reasonably clever satirical comments get banned really quickly. Do certain mods (b*j?) especially fear people who can outwit them?
I am so far infraction-free, so have no personal axe to grind on this, but I've noticed that the mods are more heavy handed with what I would call smart-arses than they are with the genuine nasty-bastards.

[the stain]

I've got a smart arse.

The actual infraction is for posting pointless and/or sarcrastic remarks. It is seldom applied in the Muppet Show, but when people are trying to have a serious conversation in another section it gets irritating.

Can't think of any instance where racism has been allowed either.

I love it when users think they know about every infraction, warning, PM, banning etc that the Mods and Admins have given out, and therefore think they are qualified to make judgement calls...

[slickmick]

I like to be a mod. Then I can give infractions to anyone that doesn't agree with me. :D

I would like to rule myself out of the running of becoming a Mod, it is just too much to take on this early in my career.

Sorry guys

[bungle]

I want to know how half these people became mods in the first place. It wasn't as if they were all long time users who then became mods. The ones that did that are the better mods. But it seems that some of them just randomly appeared as mods. They are the sh*t mods.

I'd like to be a mod. I am not in any of the cliques so I won't be biased, and I have a lot of time on my hands now I finished college so I will be able to do mod stuff. Yeahhh.

They all used to hold hands in I.T. at school, and later in internet cafes. They are all social rejects who irritate people in the real world, and being mods on here gives them some small feeling of worth. I would suggest they were all abused or bullied as children.

The initiation rites are a real eye-opener, I can tell you.

The initiation rites are a real eye-opener, I can tell you.

But which eye do you think it is? Let me give you a couple of clues:

1. It's not in your head.
2. Think of Sushi, J League and Hiroshima.

Probably by the offspring of the white golfing middle classes who acted out their little attention seeking fantasies in the absence of a father figure more interested in chasing a little white ball over 4 miles or doing silly things in 4x4's, than attending to the emotional needs of their families.

Just a hunch.

St Will and Dubai is wonderful Phil I am afraid feed the stereotype for those like yourself may enjoy the pastime minus the image. I was responding to St Will's accusations that the Mods are all geeks and bullied at school but in my experience the bully's tend to be attention seeking liitle rich kids whose Daddy's are always playing golf.

No disrespect Stevo but I couldn't support your nomination as I would be off at the merest mention of the words using an iron to guide it in the hole.

[Nineteen Canteen]

No problem with Kardeem, anyone who is a professional golfer and accepts it is not a sport in the true spirit of the Olympians is balanced and refreshingly honest.

[benjii]

Lol.

[Arizona]

19C this is a genuinely new experience. Being pleased to see you posting on a thread.

************************************************** **********

Feed the stereotype? I come from a working class background, my dad doesn't play golf. This image you have of golf is pathetic, and obviously come from a very strange up bringing (***********************************). Did you and daddy sit on a fence bordering a golf course, and as you sat there and golfers walked by, he'd tell you how that would never be you because you have to have money to do it, and it's stuck with you your whole life?

I have played golf with rich people, poor people, white people, black people, Asian and Hispanic people. I've played golf with people who have rolled up in Ferraris, and I've played golf with people who have rolled up in a bashed up Fiesta with a different coloured door to the rest of the car.

You can buy clubs in places like JJB....cheap clubs, affordable to all people. Why? Because it's not just rich people who demand golf equipment.

The number one golfer in the world is black and his dad was in the navy for god sake. Your idea of a golfing stereotype is so old fashioned and off the mark it's pathetic.

[Deppo]

Can you keep this kind of thing out of my campaign trail, please?

Can you, for once, try not to sully a reasonably thoughtful and well-constructed retort with personal insults? You'll find that not only do people get off your back a bit but that the rest of the post would not be so quickly dismissed.

I will edit the personal remarks out in this instance. Next time I won't bother.

It's TMS, there's nothing in the rules saying I can't say things like that. It's not like I didn't say anything that wasn't true either. I don't care if people get on my back, I'm just being blunt and honest. So what.

You've been asked and told, countless times, not to make personal remarks of that nature.

I, for one, won't ask again.

Your choice.

That doesn't go down too well in some quarters, Deppo.

I edited it. Was unfair to single you out Will.

[Deppo]

[St Will]

Oh, and Ponty, do you not think that 19C is being personal when he's saying **** about my career and my upbringing?

[Ponty]

Show me the rules of TMS that I have broken please....
Read the forum rules, Will. You signed them when you joined. Personal attacks and abuse are not acceptable. Yes, TMS is more relaxed, but the forum header clearly says that "a lot of the forum rules do not apply here". Being a truly nasty bastard to another user is one that does.

[Smirking_Saint]

Lol, is St silly willy getting rather angry again on another thread ?? Good job he isn't interested in being a computer nerd and has real friends.

[Ponty]

Oh, and Ponty, do you not think that 19C is being personal when he's saying **** about my career and my upbringing?

How soon we forget....

I posted about 3 times last night requesting people to lay off you but you yourself said no, it's fine.

I don't give a toss about last night, that was just a **** stirring night. But what about the constant bleating from 19C about my chosen career? Every other week on the general sports forum, and even on here now. All the time.

[Glasgow_Saint]

:smt042

[Ponty]

You claimed you didn't mind last night. In fact, you were encouraging people to "Bring it on".

Or is it a case of, "It's alright for anyone to have a go at me, except 19C."?

Cos that won't work.

Calling me a "a ****y little 18 year old" and a "chav from the Northam" like you did earlier isn't blunt and honest, mate, sorry to break the news to you.

[St Will]

He's allowed to have an opinion about golf, Will. I have one too.

Course he is, but aiming it at me and making out I'm some middle class daddy's boy is not alright.

[Ponty]

I've just said I didn't care last night. If 19C can be personal with me there's no reason why I can't be personal with him.

There is; I'm asking you not to. I will ask 19C to keep any comments about golf non-personal too. Then it's all fair.

[RedAndWhite91]

Course he is, but aiming it at me and making out I'm some middle class daddy's boy is not alright.

And making out I'm a chav is not alright either. You don't have a case to argue! Double standards with you Will, isn't it.

[St Will]

There is; I'm asking you not to. I will ask 19C to keep any comments about golf non-personal too. Then it's all fair.

[St Will]

Calling you a chav isn't criticising something you've worked your whole life towards though is it.

Which isn't strictly in the rules of this forum. Admin on a power trip....there's a shock.

Power trip? Grow up. It is in the forum rules. We try and make this place a nice environment for users to read and post in. That's pretty much all I care about. I don't want to receive PM after PM, telling me who's been nasty to whom, it's boring.

If you think that me asking you not to be a nasty bastard is infringing your rights in some way then I'd suggest you've joined the wrong forum.

[RedAndWhite91]

No, but it is calling me something which I am not, something that you have just complained about in the majority of your most recent posts.

Only the elite golfers are on tour at 25/26 years of age or younger. Most golfers don't reach or cement their position on the main tour until they're around 30.

Me being working class is not something I'm using as an excuse. I was making the point that golf is not a middle class only game. Only in your over opinionated, bizarre, out-of-date mind.

I would imagine that even in his final years and p*ssed, George could still play a round a golf. Most golfers however could not play 90 mins of football at the highest level and I don't mean compete I mean physically play.

And George couldn't compete at professional golf either. You can't compare a pro footballer playing **** level golf with a pro golfer playing pro football. A pro golfer could play drunk at the same level of football as a drunk footballer could play golf. Both ****.

a drunk golfer could show up and play sunday league football. George Best showing up drunk would only be able to play 'sunday league golf'.

[Smirking_Saint]

I don't care what anybody else thought either. Your analysis of my behaviour does not affect me one little bit. I don't know you, you don't know me....who gives a **** what kinda mood I'm in.

No I didn't. He said George Best could show up drunk and play golf, whereas a drunk golfer couldn't show up and play professional football. Well George Best couldn't show up and play professional golf....so it's not a sensible comparison at all.

[Glasgow_Saint]

You shouldnt drink and drive.

[Smirking_Saint]

No.......he said not in terms of competing, a footballer could turn up and play golf, but the state most golfers are in could not handle 90 mins on the football pitch, PHYSICALLY WILLY PHYSICALLY.

Not slagging off golf really, i enjoy golf, though i can see the point that it is not.......really...... a game that needs you to be athletic. I am still playing with a knackered right cruciate ffs

And if you want to be GOOD, you do have to be an athlete at golf these days.

All of whom break sweat to help them develop the attributes required for their particular sport. Golf is just outdoor snooker. The day we watch Usain Bolt win a 100m in some garish trousers or covered head to toe in gortex to protect him from the inclement weather conditions then you may have a point.

The IOC made a huge error of judgement by allowing golf into the Olympics and IMO someone like Tiger Woods one if not the world's richest 'sportsmen' winning a gold medal will demean the honour for those who have been through the pain barrier countless times and for a mere pittance simply for the glory of their achievement.

I don't dislike golf as a pastime but I despise it's new status in the Olympics as like a few other 'sports' it is not in the true spirit of the games.

[RedAndWhite91]

A professional golfer could compete physically at the same level of football as a footballer could compete at golf.

So, you're saying John Daly could pitch up and play 90 minutes for Saints against Walsall on Saturday?

I'm sure there's a couple of Saints players (certainly past players) who are into their golf and could easily walk around a field all day and hit a ball into a hole.

Totally different Will.

Another out dated, inaccurate, self opinionated load of codswallop.

Every top golfer is an athlete. You have to be. You don't play golf, so you don't understand. You have your petty views, and they are WRONG.

Tiger spends up to EIGHT HOURS A DAY in the gym when he's not at a tournament. He trains and practices as hard as an Olympic athlete. Just because he plays golf, doesn't mean he doesn't. Because I know for a fact he does.

Every other golfer has to try and bridge the gap to him, so they all work hard at their fitness too, because that is one of the main things he has over everyone else.

Golf is nothing like snooker. The golf swing is a very athletic, body taxing movement. That is why golfers sustain all sorts of injuries....it's a fast movement, it's an unnatural movement, and you have to be very strong and flexible to be able to hit the ball far enough to be able to compete, and also prevent getting injured.

[Dog]

Golf needs to be played whilst drunk, otherwise it is too easy and boring.

John Daly is the exception to the rule.

I'm not saying that. You're saying a golfer couldn't play against Millwall.....well could a Saints player play against Lee Westwood? No. The footballer would chop the ball around and be nowhere close to competing with the pro golfer, just as the golfer would jog around and not be able to compete with the football team.

God some of you are so ****ing THICK!

Anything else is just not agreeing with the olympic philosophy.

I beg to differ on the '****ing THICK!' remark, but that's a different debate.

A golfer could not play against Millwall, he would not have the physical capabilities to run almost constantly for 90 minutes, let alone do everything else a professional footballer needs to do during a game. I reckon a footballer could go to a golf course, and walk around with Westwood, chatting about things, whilst playing golf together. Granted, Westwood would beat him comfortably, but he would be able to keep up. Not in the sense of keeping up with the score, but he'd be able to physically keep up with Westwood. Which was the debate in the first place.

You're making the most ridiculous and pointless comparison between two sports you could ever imagine. All sports have different needs in terms of physical attributes. What does it matter that a footballer can run for longer?! Are you only an athlete if you can do endurance running?!

There's still no way I believe that someone like Lee Westwood has the physical attributes to keep up in 90 minutes of professional football, but if you say so.

I'm not saying he does, but he could manage to play 90 minutes in a sunday league game, which is about as high a standard as a pro footballer could compete in comparison to a Lee Westwood

[St Will]

Golfers have to be fit, because they have to keep their minds fresh for up to 6 hours during a tournament round of golf, sometimes they play in extreme heat, they travel all over the world - much more than a footballer does - they play 6 days a week (including the practice days) plus they have to practice in between. You have no idea what you're talking about.

[RedAndWhite91]

Ok, ok, no need to get so riled about it. I still stick by my point about the comparison between two professional games. You can raise the levels of each side as much as you like to bend the argument your way, but I won't change my view that 90 minutes of professional football and the training is more demanding than a few days walking round a golf course professionally. Can we argue about something else now please?

Firstly, footballers do half a day's work and then relax all afternoon.

Golfers are at it ALL DAY. Footballers have to run around a lot, but golfers have to travel to a different part of the world every week, going through different time zones....if you've travelled extensively you'd know that's not easy - being fit makes it easier. Footballers very rarely play in 40 degrees heat with humidity on top of that....you see some heat in the world cup sometimes, and you see how the players struggle. Then they get 2 or 3 days off. Golfers play 6 days in a row, including practice days, then they jet off and play another 6 days in a row, in extreme heat on occasion.

You're looking at it in a very simple way...golfers walk, footballers run. How intellectual.

Yes, I agree with this. Golfers play all day. I'm not a golfer myself, but I can imagine how hard it must be to walk at leisure around a reasonably flat green area, hittig a ball with a stick. They must be exhausted by the end of it. I also agree that sitting on a plane must be tough and can see why they have to be so fit. It really isn't easy flying from one place to another. As for the playing in the heat, again, very tricky, especially when you're walking about the course trying to hit that little ball. That is another relevant point.....the ball a footaller uses is much larger than the ball a golfer uses. It must be much harder on the golfers eyes to see the tiny ball they use (in comparison to the football).

very funny.

you've obviously never travelled from Hong Kong to Dubai, to California and then back to Asia again. It's not the "sitting on a plane", it's the time zones, the jet lag, the lack of sleep. It is a well known fact that if you're fitter, you can recover from jet lag quicker.

As a matter of fact I have done this. I went from the UK to Australia to Hong Kong to Dubai to Paris to California and then to Thailand. I did that in the space of 5 days.

here's you!!

http://daddygeek.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/geek.jpg

I've got a few issues with this "anatomy". It just seems a wee bit out-dated. Not like 19C's opinion of golf, but more in a "well isn't everyone like that" kinda way.

Lets start analysing the diagram in a clockwise direction. Firstly, what has poor eyesight got to do with being a geek? A lot of people of that man's age need glasses. I wear them. Does that make me a geek? My 102 year old grandmother needs them...does that make her a geek? Ozzy Osborn wears them. Does that make him a geek?

I'm not sure what a perl shirt is? I'm assuming it means polo shirt? I wear lots of polo shirts. My girlfriend wears them every now and again in bed. Real geeks can't brag about this sort of stuff.

My (and probably most other people's) image of a sterotypical geek is of a scrawny little kid with about a 28'' waist. Fat people can't be geeks. It's just kind of wrong. Ask Jill.

I have a watch. I helps me to tell the time and is particuarly useful when travelling between differnt time zones, which I do about 3 times a week as part of my profession as a professional scrabble player.

Pants? Does this mean pants? Or trousers? It is my understanding that english geeks like to use american terminology for stuff like this. If it does mean pants though, surely every has a good pair? You know (possibly) for those special occasions :smt008

My 102 year old grandmother has a cat, as do 13 million other Britons according to 2001 cencus data.


A cell phone? Is this something prisoners use? Geeks don't go to prison. And a lot of those who do have mobile phones.

Multiple computers? Hello! Welcome to the 21st century buddy. Tiger Woods has about 9 in his house (that'll be closer to about 4 and a half in a few weeks though I expect).

Toy Story! One of the most popular animated films of all time. My nephew has lots of toy story toys. Perhaps this guy is just a nice family man. There's nothing wrong, or geeky, about that!

I have a messy desk. I just can't be arsed to clean it. People think best (geeks do a lot of thinking) in a clean and tidy environment. Why would a geek be messy for?

Is it geeky to like beer? Pro golfers drink tons of the stuff on the job!

Is it now a crime to have crockery in your house? Perhaps he likes popcorn. I like popcorn, am I a geek? The tramp who lives outside the cinema in Portsmouth likes popcorn (well he eats it anyway), is he a geek? I saw a rat eating some old popcorn once. Is the rat a geek?

Cordless phone? These days we just call them phones. I have 3 of them in my house.

What is a server room? Is that like a wireless router? Surely in this day an age a lot of people have them?

I can't even see a library of computer books in the photo? And again, what is a computer book? Is it just like a book? Some people like reading books. They can help them pass the time, fill them with knowledge or even be used as bog roll in emergencies.

And finally, why is everyone using the term "geek" as a derogatory term? I'd love to be a geek.

[sotonjoe]

Oh come on, Will. That was good and you know it.
i certainly lol'd

[Robsk II]

I would be an excellent mod.

[sotonjoe]

i pulled a mod once but I swore I wouldn't kiss and tell.

[notnowcato]

I kissed a mod and I liked it

[saint_stevo]

i nailed a mod-el

[hamster]

Not taking sides here (I like being crap at golf and do consider it a healthy pastime) but dies any other sport have an equivalent of these things?

I have seen them on football pitvches at major tournaments but they are only brought out for injured players, makes you think doesn't it?


Re the travelling around the world i would argue that it's not that tough when you even get to ride on one of these beauties too...which in my experience are the domain of A list celebs and the infirm....

....and pro golfers

[hypochondriac]

how anyone can argue that golf is more demanding than football is baffling. I am increasingly of the opinion that St Will is a golfer in his own mind and on xbox live.

[Glasgow_Saint]

To sum up - guys play golf at 90 years old.

90 year olds don't play football.

I started playing golf as I couldnt keep up the pace of football anymore.......

Fishing is more demanding than golf.

[Dark Sotonic Mills]

Fishing is more demanding than golf.

Especially when trolling for bites.:D

[Hatch]

I like golf and it is very demanding.

Especially at my level. I have to carry my own clubs and I tend not to walk straight down the middle of the fairways but from side to side making each round the equivalent of about a 30 mile walk. Plus 150 odd shots plus practice swings.

I'm always knackered , then I start the second 9.

[Dog]

That's not a serious question...

Oh yes it F**king is!!!

If you are a semi pro player as you say you are then I am sure you will favour a certain ball.

[St Will]

Oh yes it F**king is!!!

If you are a semi pro player as you say you are then I am sure you will favour a certain ball.

OK apologies then.

No such thing as a semi pro by the way.

I play the Callaway Tour iX

[Master Bates]

Especially when trolling for bites.:D

That brought a smile to my face :D

[St Will]

And on that brilliant note, its goodnight from me and hopefully it's goodnight from St Will who is trying to work out how to insert practice days in 6 days of practice day and tournaments - good luck with that.

26 and still not on the European tour, don't worry about it you'll soon be old enough to take up bowls, assuming you still like your outdoor sports fully trousered.

Will are you based at Basingtoke Colf Club, The Peter Alliss designed Dummer or Test Valley club that Jody Scheckter could put to better use as buffalo grazing? Afterall it's just another fat bunch of males hacking at the grass pretending to be sporty - unlike the buffalos.

You really are a fruit loop aren't you.

[St Will]

how anyone can argue that golf is more demanding than football is baffling. I am increasingly of the opinion that St Will is a golfer in his own mind and on xbox live.

At what point did I say golf is more demanding than football? I was giving my reasons for golfers needing to be fit. I compared it to football to explain that just because golfers don't run around the course, doesn't mean there aren't other reasons why we need to be fit.

Thick ****.

[INFLUENCED.COM]

Tiger spends up to EIGHT HOURS A DAY in the gym when he's not at a tournament.

Wasn't that simply the defence used when questioned by his wife ? makes you wonder how he found the time for extramarital affair(s)

[saint_stevo]

Pro V1x all the way

[Tac-tics]

St.Will, RedandWhite91 made you look like a right arse. He answered the question at hand with his logic as to how he came to this answer.

And no good calling him a kid at 18, just to comfort the fact your getting older.

[Tac-tics]

I'm not saying he does, but he could manage to play 90 minutes in a sunday league game, which is about as high a standard as a pro footballer could compete in comparison to a Lee Westwood

What the hell is the point in this comparision?

John Westwood could stretch to 90 minutes in a Sunday league game.

Most utterly pointless comparison ever.

I'll give you one, I bet a badger couldnt spend a lifetime in the sea, yet a seal can spend a lifetime on both....:s

[St Will]

Pro V1x all the way

Pro V1 and Pro V1X have never been good since the original one. In comparison to the other new balls on the market anyway. Since the designer when to TaylorMade, it's never been as good. I've done a lot of testing with golf balls, and my Callaway goes 20 yards further than the Pro V1X....

Tact-tics, you're being as thick as Red n White was.

The original comparison was: "George Best could go and play golf drunk, while I pro golfer couldn't play professional football." Which is ridiculous. You can't compare a pro footballer playing "any standard of golf" with a pro golfer playing professional football.

Think about it.

If George Best played golf, he would be "sunday league" standard at best. He couldn't play professional standard golf, just as a pro golfer couldn't play professional standard football. The original comparison wasn't a fair comparison at all.

I don't know how many times I have to explain that to you bunch of thick ****s.

[Tac-tics]

Sorry, I didnt know you was on good terms with Best & knew his golfing abilities.
Professional sportsman tend to have a wider range in sporting abilities in these days.

Oh and Im not thick and I'm not a ****, Im just better than you

[St Will]

Oh and Im not thick and I'm not a ****, Im just better than you

And neither do you know his golfing capabilities, or any golfer's football capabilities.

Which is why it was a completely **** comparison, and completely irrelevant to the discussion of "golfers don't need to be fit".

[Tac-tics]

Well I know Victor Mosses, Jordon Mutch and Adz(Lallana) golfing abilities adn they are all footballers.

So can I just point out, your actually agreeing with me, its a pointless comparision and the post before this, was technically right?????

I love being a kid and so sharp

[Tac-tics]

Oh I know two chaps who's up and comming in world golf.

One lad I've played against and one lad I played with for 2 years ( in which way you see fit, I knew he'd become famous)

So St.Will, yes, yes I do.

[hypochondriac]

Golf is a terrible pastime. The only sports I count are the ones where you are tired after doing them. Therefore IMO golf isn't a sport. How does it feel wasting your life on a pastime Will?

[Tac-tics]

It's just the same as darts, for a better standard of people.

But christ what a utter waste of time.

[St Will]

Yeah terrible wasting my life doing something people do for fun for a living, I feel terrible travelling the world, I feel terrible not having to sit in an office all my life, I feel terrible that if and when I get on the main tour I'll be playing for millions every year.

Yeah, I'm wasting my life away.

Idiot.

[hypochondriac]

Only the elite golfers are on tour at 25/26 years of age or younger. Most golfers don't reach or cement their position on the main tour until they're around 30.

Me being working class is not something I'm using as an excuse. I was making the point that golf is not a middle class only game. Only in your over opinionated, bizarre, out-of-date mind.

Any sport where you reach your peak over 30 is not a sport.

[St Will]

It's just the same as darts, for a better standard of people.

But christ what a utter waste of time.

You're not a thick ****? I beg to differ.

[Tac-tics]

You're not a thick ****? I beg to differ.

You can beg all you like.

Not sure if you're aware that sometimes, people can make mis-types???

You bloody PGA types.

[hypochondriac]

Prove it then Will. Give us your full name so we can look you up. I might go down the bookies and place my life savings on you as the Open champion 2029. I assume that's when you turn 30?

[Tac-tics]

You're not a thick ****? I beg to differ.

PIED

(thats a new 'hip,cool,funky' saying, mirrors the word.....owned)


Roll neck, click the fingers and brief exit...Goodbye for now

[St Will]

I'd give anyone my website address if I knew they wouldn't spread it around, however I know you ****s would just spread it around on here and within 5 minutes everyone would know my name, when and where I'm playing tournaments, where my home club is, everything. Which is why I won't!

[Dog]

Crazy golf is harder than standard golf IMO.

[St Will]

Crazy golf is harder than standard golf IMO.

That's something I do agree with. Putting is the best part of my game, yet I'm terrible at crazy golf. Go figure.

That's what someone who what's their virtual "innernet" life to be cool and gain e-respect would say.

[St Will]

That's what someone who what's their virtual "innernet" life to be cool and gain e-respect would say.

Alright then, I give you my website address in a PM....are you going to keep it to yourself? Or are you going to post something on here, or PM it to other people?

[hypochondriac]

Come on St Will. Show me what you're made of.

I shall independently verify if you are what you purport to be.

Alright, no giving out my name, my website address of anything else.....

[Smirking_Saint]

LOL

st wills, putting the 'muppet' into the muppet show

[Master Bates]

*edited

[saint_stevo]

i can vouch for will, and people mocking the fact he is a golfer is a bit pathetic........

People who dont like golf, ususally dont understand it, or played once and was crap.....

The fact is, you could be 200th in the world and still be a millionaire, i'd take a bit of that i think

[hypochondriac]

Alright, no giving out my name, my website address of anything else.....

Am I allowed to post your picture? You are a handsome chap.

[saint_stevo]

[hypochondriac]

[Tac-tics]

Should be proud lado, also your comming down my neck of the woods soon I see and the two golfing types I nattered about will be playing.

Small,Small world.

[hypochondriac]

Will you have a bit of a beer belly. I am beginning to doubt what you say with regards to fitness.

When will you be on the tour? Can I come and cheer you on?

[Um Bongo]

And there lies the answer. This is an internet for for **** sake. Why take everything so seriously? So people don't like golf, big deal. The more you kick up a fuss of people taking the **** out of you, the more it's going to happen.

[St Will]

When will you be on the tour? Can I come and cheer you on?

No you can't.

[hypochondriac]

No you can't.

Yes I can...
