Hey, thanks fellow Albion fan! You seem to actually think I might be upset without seeing the irony, oh well, not my problem. But thanks for the compassion and understanding, that you have demonstrated on more politically correct threads in the past, for someone just trying to keep in contact with his roots and chatter from both his home town football club and his country of birth. You do yourself proud

You support York City?
Yeah, I'm glad you said that because as a straight man I don't feel I can comment - except to condemn prejudice and hatred. What IS the difference between Lesbian or Gay (the 'L' and the 'G') and someone who is 'Queer'? Also if you're a lesbian aren't you by definition also gay?
Please note I'm not saying this in an offensive or sneering manner, but as we're not part of the 'scene' some of us are having difficulty in keeping up - even though we want to.
Sorry my mistake there's me thinking this was one of many many threads you've started 'poking fun' at certain aspects of England since you left.Hey, thanks fellow Albion fan!

as a gay man of middling age, I don't know what the difference between gay and queer is-so god help the rest of you. Gay tends to be used for homosexual men- Lesbian for women, though not exclusively. Your post didn't come across as offensive or sneering- just inquisitive-which should be welcomed

I do not poke fun at England per se at all. It is my country of birth, I am patriotic too, probably far too deeply for some. I will forever be a Brightonian and will always regard it as my true home. That does not mean that I agree with every individual on all topics, it does not mean that I am unable to see shortcomings in English traits, nor does it mean I blindly follow the English flag and its many bearers.
It does mean that I keep in touch (the BBC is the best news service in the world), it does mean that I follow results of the club I have followed since boyhood, it also means that I will still rip the pixx out of what I regard as ridiculous. If that offends a few people, then as Steven Fry said, 'so fxxking what'?.
Any super sleuths out there want to link this current thread with the 4 below?

You seem to have an issue with me, I actually am at a loss to know why. If I recall correctly, about a year or so ago you reported a 'mild' comment that I posted as a reposte to one of your earlier comments on a thread (I think I called you an axxe) resulting in me being banned from said thread. Do I know you from an earlier life? Did I hit on your girlfriend years ago? Or something else? Right now I am interested, as of tomorrow I couldn't care less.
To be honest, your suggestion that woody has started posting snide digs at mundane aspects of news stories, generally of the 'PC gone mad', Daily mail variety, only since he emigrated, is without foundation.
You don’t need to travel 12000 miles. I manage all of this from moving a mere 600
Sorry you have been mistaken, I have never reported anyone.
I suggest if you were removed from a thread, it was due to what you had written not me.
The only issue I have with your posting style is the snide digs at blighty from the moment you went to great lengths to say how happy your were to leave.
