He went to give his monkeys a banana each.

You don`t understand, Ohio. The "Three Wise Monkeys" is the thing with the inner circle now. Don`t quite know why, but hey......

Just seen the Coen Brothers latest "Inside Llewyn Davis". I thought that it was a superb film. It concerns the struggle of a folk singer in 1960's New York struggling to make a life for himself. A typical Coen Brothers film and one of their best IMHO Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

@ BBC Folk Awards last night.

Very interesting trying to recognise all of the places.

At no point have I suggested that I love Saints more than you. As I have said any number of times, praise when due, criticise when due. I am always pleased to debate anything with anybody. I am quite happy to have my view changed by a persuasive argument. I just find your continual know it all negative persona incredibly tiresome Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

For me it's not about taking it seriously. I have always come on here for a bit of light relief, to discuss all things Saints and just occasionally to get news. I am just sad that my enjoyment has been spoilt by a few egotists who seem to think that people here are hanging on their every word. Would my life change if I never came on here again? Probably not, but I would much rather come on here, listen to and exchange genuine opinions with like minded people rather than buff up the egos of the few that are taking it seriously for the wrong reasons.

To great degree I agree with you. My problem is that virtually every thread gets hijacked by these characters and their egos. I can put up with and often enjoy characters like Bearsy , Dalek and even Alpine, who is also a "miserableoldgit" but, I think, pretty genuine. It's the posters with their know-it-all negativity that do my head in. They all keep on about "opinions" but are so unbending with theirs. At least when 19C was here it was basically just him!

I try to avoid your posts wherever possible, but if you did actually post something positive, then well done you! See you CAN do it! Incidentally, you started the dialogue with me. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Are you really that precious? ? If you are, I am really sorry that I upset you. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Three Wise Monkeys. How ironic! Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4

I really don't want to argue. I just want to get back to enjoying coming onto this forum again without seeing the usual suspects spreading their negativity as fact and derailing every thread. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4

Your problem is that virtually every post that you make on the subject of Saints comes across as being aggressively negative, although I suspect that you are aware of this. Virtually every thread that you contribute to ends up being derailed because of this negativity. This becomes incredibly tiresome, just like Dalek and his Hoddle fetish did. By all means criticise when deserved but praise when deserved also. Its not really difficult. Try it. You never know, you might like it. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

So you are a realist, Marvin, while the rest of us are happy clappers living in cloud cuckoo land. Is that it? Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

That may well be true. I may be being a bit unfair to him, but my original point still stands as far as I am concerned. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Well strangely enough I think that asking somebody to do something about the malaise that has overtaken this forum in recent years is quite positive. The alternative is to let it carry on its rapid down hill descent without saying anything. Also, if you think that I find out you so important that I am going to waste my time researching your post history, "life is too short". Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

I started a thread because I am fed up with this forum being taken over by posters wanting to be forum "characters" who tend start threads full of negativity or derail most other thread in a similar manner. I am a novice when it comes to negativity on here. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

This quite ironic. Your post encapsulates everything that annoys me about the "characters" on here. Moan, whinge. Moan about others but contribute nothing positive yourself Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

No, no! They are just posting opinions. You are obviously unable to justify yourself. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Firstly, who decides if an opinion has substance? You? The fact of the matter is that I, and I think a lot of others do not frequent, or post on this forum like we used to a few years ago. Ask yourself why this is. No doubt you will come up with some derogatory reasoning concerning happy clapping, wrist slitting, bed wetting or the Cult of Cortese or the inability to back up an opinion. As I said, life is too short. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

We all have opinions. All opinions are of value and should be respected. Sadly you are one of a handful on here who seem to think that your opinions are more valuable/important than anyone else's. Part of being a "character" I suppose. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Really? Happy Clappers? You can't help yourself. I rest my case. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Perhaps I find it difficult to accept/ understand/enjoy those who get their.kicks from consistently winding others up. Life really is far too short! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
