Same old,same old

cheers bush, glad you enjoyed it mate.....the old game has been going for sixty eight years now and the brand is still as strong as ever....long may that continue!

I was in the toy dept at Bentalls centre in Kingston on Sunday and my wife pointed out the Subbuteo stand. Wandered over while my daughter was looking up sylvanian family toys. The price of teams was amazing, something like £25 for Liverpool or Arsenal but must say they looked impressive even including sponsorship on the front, the detail now is something else. The teams that weren't branded and could interchange such as a team that could be the hammers or similar were half the price. Accessories now include penalty shoot outs.
I'm still mourning the day 7 years ago when toddler child "massacred" my prized QPR team, returning from work Mrs T said I let her play with your little football figures the remnants round the house was like something out of platoon even jan stejskal wasn't spared

Nick and TW are both the same on here.. Surround themselves with big words to try and bail them out on more than one occasion.

Come across like right Gimps IMO.. Far too High street Kensington for my liking

...glad you mentioned all that...was wondering what your liking was as it goes. Now I know, thanks.

For a so called 'posh' middle aged man, you don't half come across like a chav at times.

Norths is a decent bloke who is respected on here and nothing more needs to be said apart from I am off to stamp on my subbuteo set.

...you should see the state of mine then weare.......it's a right mess. loads of it but still a pile of mess!

[Brian Wilson]

HAHAHAHA This stuff still goes on here?

Yes

Does facto still talk about the imaginary bakery

eh, dont think so

[Rieger]

Yup pretty much....

How you hanging rieger?

High and slightly to the right buddy. HOW WE FEELING THIS TRANSFER WINDOW LADS?!

[Rangers77]

Like us all TW has his obsessions, but he's a good egg. He apologizes when he over steps the mark- as when he told me I was a fool for going to Burnley or Wigan- which is the sign of a gent.

HAHAHAHA This stuff still goes on here? Awful. Does facto still talk about the imaginary bakery and QPR somefirst name change every thread into a political issue blaming the BBC and liberals? Great stuff.

I will try to be more aware of how I post my opinions in future, but at the end of the day how I post is how I post. It would not be me otherwise, like it or loath it.

Thanks TW, pleased to hear it.

There are some posters here whose "style" of posting offends me beyond belief....the ones who can hardly string a coherent sentence together and use the disguised f word all the time, is one of them for example

I think I know who you mean here. There is a lack of consistency to that account that cant be put down to using spell check on occasion. The mask is slipping.

Hear, hear!!

Now do one!

Such a shame really that things have got to this stage.

I've been known to defend old TW on the odd occasion when others have aimed totally unacceptable abuse at him. There is absolutely no way he should get grief for where he lives, what type of school he went to, or a privileged upbringing. In fact, I personally was delighted to find out a few years ago now, that the bloke who invented Subbuteo was a Rangers fan and that his son posts on our site.

However, on this matter I can't seem to get at all sympathetic. It must take quite some lack of self awareness, to not see that certain behaviour and posting style, has been getting on peoples nerves now for some time. We can't all agree all of the time and occasionally we may inadvertently upset somebody for whatever reason. But surely, when so many people have hinted about a change of attitude or style, it should be clear where the problem lies.

TW, calling other posters the W word, is against the rules that you seem keen on pointing out are in place. Not going to hold it against you on this occasion as that would be petty, but would like to think that you would at least give some serious thought and consideration as to how better you can interact with your fellow posters, as nobody has any desire to see any poster leave, let alone appear to be pushed out. I'm pretty sure that this would be a better place for all concerned, if you were to turn over a new leaf and start afresh. And I'm just as certain that the majority of others would hold you in much higher esteem for making the effort.

No doubt this sort of spat can be very amusing to some. But we should all be aware that it can be extremely tiresome for most of us. Would be nice for it to stop now, please.

Brighton, excellent post mate and you make some good points. Unfortunately you are trying to get a leopard to change it's spots! We all have, without exception, our own posting styles. Each one is different, as we all are as individuals. There are some posters here whose "style" of posting offends me beyond belief....the ones who can hardly string a coherent sentence together and use the disguised f word all the time, is one of them for example. Contrary to belief, I am aware that I can rub people up the wrong way with my posting style at times, and believe it or not I do try to kerb it at times as well. I think we all need to be a lot more tolerant of everyone else on here, and that includes me of course. I will try to be more aware of how I post my opinions in future, but at the end of the day how I post is how I post. It would not be me otherwise, like it or loath it.
Hope that makes sense.
Have a good day folks...love you all!!! xx
