that quite funny Argus blog that some idiots took seriously

[alan partridge]

was also taken seriously by another Argus blogger

unless I am REALLY missing the irony in this response

Does the Albion and Brighton in general need these trendy, wannabe Brightonians? From The Argus)

Are you HB&B?

 

[alan partridge]

Are you HB&B?

haha

NO.

It was a blog filled with vaguely humorous irony, but was certainly 'tugging the chain' of those of us still sensitive to the nimby attitude that caused so much pain for the club, I responded just to get a bit off my chest.

Jesus - he did take it seriously, didn't he?

Hook, line, sinker, rod AND copy of Angling Times.

Not really guys sorry to disappoint . Meeting my old mate 'Quentin' for coffee in a hour or so. Soya milk of course!

The author behind 'Quentin' works for the Argus. He has agreed to meet me for a coffee in a hour or so to explain that his blog is a parody of Brighton types. Was it just me who was too thick to realise this in the first instance?

Fixed your post, and in answer to your question, no there were plenty of other people as retarded as you who fell for it.

Not your finest moment, is it?

Just read your comment and I see you are claiming to be in on the joke now. Sorry but that isn't going to wash with anyone. It's pretty obvious you've been stitched up like a kipper.

Enjoyed both contributions. I liked HBB's reference to being born in the Royal Sussex, even though I first saw daylight in Buckingham Road, far closer to the beating heart of this great etc etc.

Whichever way you paint it you come out looking bad. If you were in on it all along (I don't believe that for one moment) then your response is piss-poor I'm afraid. The original was funny, yours has way too much bile. You should have had a listen to Jeff Stelling's Middlesborough rant if you wanted inspiration on inverted-snobbery based humour.

There is NO WAY you are in on the joke. Stop lying you cretin.

Quentin even mentions Timmy in one of his older blogs.

Two out of three (constituencies) is bad (From The Argus)

Thing is, IF he failed to spot it was a spoof, then he is STUPID. Really, really, 'can't breathe without instructions' stupid.

But if he DID realise, and then sat down and wrote that riposte, thinking it was witty in some way, then he is equally STUPID.

Amazing.

Cheers mate!

Not a good day at the office

Unfortunately Tim, your piece is so poorly written that if you are in on the joke, your piece does nothing to even hint at it.

A talented writer would have been able to write a response that, with good humour, would have played along with the original piece in an entertaining and intelligent way.

The fact that you've had to come on here, and use the comments of the blog to say "I'm in on the joke!" should tell you all you need to know about the success, or otherwise, of your piece.

Is there no-one who can read your stuff prior to submission?
