The cursed eath story

[King Trout]

Hooray! I don't exist. I think you'll find I do. Perhaps you should use the "hide posts" function, like lots of people have been forcced to with your ranting.

So... mods step in when someone plays a prank involving a link. I can accept that, of course.

But what happens when someone is aggressive to a boarder and calls them "a despicable small minded little person"?

I haven't been looking at his past history, but perhaps someone should.

DESTROY HIM MY ROBOTS!!!!

Mwahahahaha. 

STAY AWHILE... STAY FOREVER!

(I used to LOVE that game!)

I *still* love this game, I bought it for my nintendo DS recently, it has the original version and a new version.  I love the clanking sounds as he's running. :-)

[Mike Gloady]

Right, I'll be looking out for that.  Thanks for the info Stacey - I would never have known.

[JOE SOAP]

Trout, are you throwing a bash for your 10,000th post?

I *still* love this game, I bought it for my nintendo DS recently, it has the original version and a new version.

Wait, you can get Impossible Mission for the DS?  I think Nintendo just made a sale of one portable.  Great news, thanks stacey.  See, even the most aggravated thread is good for something.

I meant to add, to Dandontdare: you can express yourself without insults. Let's not get into a fight, though.

Well I was rather angry when I posted that, so sorry for the fruity language, but I did count to 10 and re-read it - there was no insult there. I described the PRANK as 'puerile and annoying' which it was, but I even made sure to address you as "Trouty" to convey that it wasn't as personal attack.

I almost lost my rag recently over the slaine jokes - over about 4 days I wasted god knows how long checking to see what new additions had been made to various topics only to find a pointless Slaine reference. Day 1 was quite amusing, Day 2 not so much fun, day 3 quite annoying and by day 4 I was getting seriously pissed off. In just 24 hours about 2-3 pages of new posts appear on this board, and it takes time to check them all out. And that's if you log in every day.

My advice, offered in a spirit of respect, friendship and lovely cuddly vibes, is that if a future joke or prank crosses your mind, just take a moment to think about the impact in wasted time for everybody else.

[TordelBack]

As a major participant in the recent 'gratuitous Sláine' meme, I sincerely apologise if it was pissing off anyone - that wasn't the intention.  I confess I thought it was a right old laugh, in my puerile way.  Mind you, I also though the Worst Website link was hilarious too (seeing as hitting return for 10 seconds got rid of it).  If we're not here to waste time I'm afraid I've missed the point.

And Rickrolling was the comedy event of the century.  

If we're not here to waste time I'm afraid I've missed the point.

Wasting time discussing biscuits, cheese, Leigh Gallagher's ladyboy tendencies or Spooky's hot burlesque missus is what we're here for - clicking on link after link after link, over several days to find the same joke is just a bit annoying, as there's no way to avoid it. If you don't find a rambling discussion of crisp flavours amusing, you don't revisit that thread, but when you want to find if anybody has added something to a dozen different genuine discussions, only to find they've been hijacked for some uber-joke, that can wear thin after a while. I DID find it very funny at first, it just went on too long.

I'm coming across as aa right grumpy old sod today aren't I? It's been a crappy week, but in a few hours after a few more beers, things should look lovelier.

Peace and Thrillpower

And it's asterisks.

Thanks Trout!
Rac, you gave me a link to a current thread about the Judge Dredd movie in reply to me query about the asterisked one. I don't get it. Am I missing something or is that the wrong link?Thanks!

[Dandontdare]

double posted somehow, move along nothing to see here

[M.I.K.]

Um... I know this thread's gone off on a tangent, but I think you'll find that John Rambo bloke is a real person, (no, I don't mean Stallone).

[Van Dom]

Ah!
Sorry RAC, I get it now, I didn't read the whole thread at first because I thought it was a mistake but I've just read through it now.

Bit of a mad day in the office wasnt it!

[VinceBot]

This thread isn't going anywhere nice. I'm axing it now to save further drama.
