Ok. That settles it. Cheers.
That said the frantic shaking if the sarsons bottle to get the chip juice out is a pleasing image.

Like I said ' It's a view'. No need for the abuse just because it may differ from yours.

It's a view but its ridiculous. Ian Hart is always controversial and its in his nature to not give in. It's just lazy to dismiss him as yesterday's man when our today is due, in no small part, to him. Short memories.

All feedback, negative or positive, is good, but a caveat to that is that there is a clear line between criticism and abuse from an anonymous individual sitting behind a keyboard. For the wonderful platform the internet is, that will always be one of its biggest drawbacks.
Seeing this in the article reminded me of my thread last week, appealing to the good folk on here to avoid finishing off their posts with mindless insults, which are unpleasant and unnecessary. Besides the mickey taking about me an oldie, I had some very insightful replies, which was reassuring, others that contributed next to nothing, and some who saw no wrong with insults. It is a forum and you expect a range of opinions -that is fine. A couple of days later, there was a thread about employment/benefits etc etc and two of my critics, who claimed what the hell, and that insults are part and parcel of NSC, responded. They described their jobs and it was clear that they have huge responsibility in their workplace, where, it is reasonable to assume, that they would at the very least frown on insults aimed at colleagues. Yet, it is Ok here.

The subtle difference being that no one on here is in a position of responsibility over their peers except the mods who try and stop us from getting sued for libel or done for Internet abuse.
Sometimes posters put up comments that are so ludicrous that the only proper response is a good old Anglo Saxon riposte.
Some of the insults I've seen on here have been adopted by me into my own lexicon of put downs and abuse. In fact if it wasn't for the colourful and imaginative slagging off it wouldn't be worth reading half of the threads.
Amen to that you cockwombling brain donor.

With the 'hiding behind the keyboard' issue. The upside, though some may find it a tad cowardly is that sometimes ( being rude excepted) you can say what you honestly feel rather than worrying about hurting the feelings of members whose views you generally respect. Not any issue for me really, I think the anonymity is a good thing, in fact I almost revel in the secrecy of it. A bit like being Lord Lucan without the need to kill the Nanny!
With regard to this thread, I never criticise TB or PB because I personally believe they do their best. But in this case and in defence of the OP, I would have to agree, with finding Tony's complacency with our procurements this season rather odd. Frankly my Mrs gets better deals in Laura Ashley....and that's saying something!
