  1. It's just a slew of complaints. The vast majority of those forwarding them won't do anything other than moan about it on Facebook, or realise that it isn't actually the immigrants that are fúcking them over, at least, not directly.
  2. I'll take that.
  3. For the record, mate - I'm not really that arsed either way. I think the ignore plan is generally workable, but I am having fun sitting on the fence and watching others who have different ideas
  4. Ms pap's old man is linking some of their stuff on Facebook. Secretly, I reckon he's torn about my involvement with his daughter. On the one hand, I've got a Pakistani grandad. In the credit column, neither of his grandkids from me turned out to be ginger, something he utterly failed on when producing his own offspring.
  5. Something like this? I think it's too flattering, personally.

    the McCanns

    We should probably get the two McCann threads merged. However, I came across this information this morning. It's been out there for years; just never knew about it. Apparently, Gerry McCann was registered in the CATS system. http://goodqualitywristbands.blogspot.com/2012/01/did-jim-gamble-sanitize-gerry-mccanns.html Incidentally, this is a very good forum for seeing wide discussion on the subject. http://jillhavern.forumotion.net/
  7. Hardly fair to label those who don't pay and don't moan that way. I have since refined my suggestion to include "Vassal". Which would you sponsor?
  8. I favour a different approach. Introduce a new account status, with exactly the same privileges as Full Member. Call it "Vassal". Then, other forum members can buy someone out of their indentured Registered User account. I have mocked one up for lols.
  9. Brave words, but you'd change your mind if it the tag adorned your every post.
  10. I've suggested alternate user classes before. Mack Rill is "fish fish fish", apparently. Ultimately, this creaking forum framework doesn't seem to have the chops to do that properly, and without some form of inherent labelling into the process, begging the obvious question - who gets to assign the labels. Archaic as it is, there's a level of effort and personal interpretation required to determine who is what on this site, something that's probably a good thing. My suggestion slices things much more neatly. Can you afford a fiver? No? Then take the "Peasant" tag and all that implies, such as living in a bin outside Starbucks leeching free wi-fi.
  11. Mods, as an experiment, can you change the text associated with "Registered User" to "Peasant"? I am trying to gauge the effects of mockery and shame in the market.
  12. Osvaldo's goal for City is arguably a contender for goal of the season. Jose Fonte to present the award? Gertcha! (or nearest Portuguese equivalent)
  13. Tonight, according to this link on the OS:- http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/06052014-201314-player-awards-tonight-1537477.aspx Six gongs up for grabs. 1) Player of the season 2) Scholar of the season 3) Away Player of the Season 4) President's choice 5) Goal of the season 6) Fans player of the season Predictions? Going to be live on YouTube.
  14. As you've spoken so authoritatively on the subject, I am keen to learn more. I've often done more than 8 posts in a day, and while I thought I was happy enough in life; steady work, the quiet nobility of parenthood and all that, I'm naturally dismayed to find out that I have no life, and wish to rectify this. As such, I was wondering what it is that you get up to each day which we should all aspire to. There are a number of posters that obviously need the help. You can lead the way.
  15. I would sooner have an actual Premier League B, with a lot of money behind it, pitched in a similar way to US College Football. Sure, it's a little different - most college teams are usually supported by those that went there, but a separate and new league would solve the problem of youngsters playing competitive games with their teammates, without the ripple-effect of weird exceptions and Premier League reserve outfits taking up a spot a real club could be filling. This plan is full of holes. Unlikely I know, but what happens if one of these teams with a B team does a double relegation like us or City?
  16. As someone who has quietly passed the 10K hump, it's something I wonder about myself. Ultimately, the insult is "hur hur, you're on a football forum loads so you must have no life". This message is somewhat diluted by the fact that the messenger is also on a football forum, presumably jipping off doing Something Less Boring Instead in favour of making that point. It'd be like me finding out one of our male posters pranced around the house in come-fúck-me boots and donning a pair of stilettos to take the píss.
  17. RonManager officially on rampage. Use tranquiliser gun only. Snooker ball in a sock is not sanctioned.

    Star Wars VII

    Two thirds of the prequels are terrible films. One is decent, but entirely undermined by the foundations of intergalactic turd that preceded it. None of the plots make any sort of sense. The second part has perhaps the most ridiculous love story ever committed to cinema. Lucas knows his tropes, but no longer knows how to fill them with any personality. Even the third film, which I really do like in and of itself, has got Hayden Christiansen chewing his way through most scenes, only really ever good when he's shouty or silent. Mostly, the third movie needs to be applauded for its sheer ruthlessness. Palpatine does not muck about, his arc and Ian McDiarmid's performance is the best thing in those films. There's also nowt structurally wrong with the way that Lucas tried to get Anakin and Padme together. Put them on a trip together, get them into a bit of peril, have them depend on each other - like I say, Lucas knows his tropes, but he really doesn't know how to create compelling characters. The prequels have no-one of the stature of Han Solo or Luke Skywalker. I've linked this before, but this is an excellent review of TPM. Bit rude, but totally on the money.
  19. We've discussed this before, and we all agree that we don't hear it at games, and that you hear it more on TV. What is the point of sounding locally awesome if we sound globally tinpot?
  20. Even better. You don't know how you're being dissed. Learn some tech, ya muggle - like perhaps plunging your fat finger on the image that says GIF. FFS, my dog could even manage that by mistake. +1 for extra dissing opportunity.
  21. Hugs.
  22. Precisely. They weaseled their way out of a referendum when the EU Constitution became the Lisbon Treaty, policy by stealth that the LDs were only too keen to highlight at the time. The Tories were Eurosceptic when electioneering, but despite the efforts of their backbenchers, bottled it on giving the public a choice. Labour have their head in the sand on this. It'd be a very interesting election if one of them broke ranks on a referendum, but don't count on it. None of them will give you a say. It's why UKIP exists.
  23. Alright sweetheart. I'd consider taking this bromance further, but I've heard that if it's printed in a newspaper, you're anybody's.
  24. I've bunged a question on the #saintsfc hashtag, cc'ing the club.
  25. And yet oddly enough, these self-same people will probably not take you at face value just because you say something happened. What is it, exactly, that leads you to believe that you can post stuff without qualification and have folk believe it? Links would be good.
