Interesting phrase that "chip on the shoulder". Wikipedia (hmmm) says that it is related to carpenters at Royal Navy dockyards being allowed to take home chips of left over wood. Also some silly American thing about flicking a chip of wood from someone's shoulder to challenge them to a fight. I'd always thought it was tied closely in to the "Top dog/under dog" issue.

The top and under dogs were carpenters cutting timber - mainly planks (often in ship yards). They used one long saw which was pulled from the top by a man standing on the tree trunk (the top dog) and another pulling down from underneath (the under dog). Clearly the under dog was in a more uncomfortable position and so it was a job given to the more junior man. A by product of being under dog was that you got showered in wood shavings and wood chips - which often led to resentment of the older/more senior carpenter by the younger/less skilled worker. Take your pick - but that seems far more likely than the other suggestions.

People who address each other by their first names on here, it's just naff.

Any post over a few lines long - I don't come on here to read a frickin' essay, I want short succinct commentary.

People who know nothing about football but continue to spout rubbish and write players off even when they have been proved wrong time and time again

People who can't distinguish between facts and opinions.

I believe FACTS are usually written in UPPER CASE. Hope that helps.

I could write a book about whom and what annoys me most about NSC.

I'll get stuck into the cider tonight and begin.

When there are 20 threads on one subject (Elliot Bennett) and someone decides it would be a good idea to post another one from a "slightly different angle".

Crodo always putting exclamation marks next to threads that are in no way important

Oh and Redneb

All my opinions are facts.

To be fair, you're already covered by Cheeky Monkey as most of your posts are rambling incoherent drivel that I can't actually be arsed to read.

 

[Mellotron]

Post who say pwopa nawty and shit like that. So boring

Agreed, anyone who discusses "meet ups" and who ran who out of town, total dickheads.

'tediocre' Excellent use of the English langauge

I'm not taking the credit. "tediocre" is Cheeky Monkey's (tremendous) home made word.

 

[Mellotron]

People who don't understand the difference between a big animal and a hard animal.

Agreed. The ridiculous number of posters still too stupid to understand what the word hard means truly baffles me.
