offlineMemberIn the spirit of recent postings about your 'work', I have to say that this stinks - just this very morning I dubbined my boots prior to taking a walk with Mrs MrChigleysAunt and the Chiglets three. The presence of a tin of dubbin in my house disproves your posting entirely. If this site begins to get a reputation for factual inaccuracy, then it's doomed. What's more, it's nowhere near as hilarious as any of my work or that of my very dear friends on this site. Just try and keep it real ok?

offlineMemberI am new to this site, having recently discovered it, and it provides good entertainment even though various postings are uneven and some I don't understand. I had to Google 'Dubbin', for example.
I don't understand personal attacks such as the one above. I am glad Doylem decided to continue to contribute and I hope (s)he ignores this latest comment.
This should be a site in which people feel free to try out their humour. Every standup comic has jokes that fall flat. At least here you aren't paying for things that you don't find funny and you can just move on to the next posting or the next day's postings where you are likely to find something to make you smile.
And there is a rewards system for the best postings, so we have an incentive to try to hit the mark. We don't need vitriolic personal attacks.Posted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberMr Wwwiz - or may I call you G? Don't worry. Doylem has recently received some unfair attacks on this site which resulted in him thinking of leaving. The "personal attack" to which you refer is, in fact, a brilliantly satirical piece aimed, not at Doylem, but at his detractors.

offlineMemberWow, a lecture, from a banker. You've got a nerve admitting something like that. It was very obvious that Chigleybums comments were tongue in cheek but you getting the wrong idea goes some way to explain the recent financial crisis. How many millions of other people's money did you lose then? Though I suspect you still got your bonus.

offlineMemberI remember trying to get dubbin under that stupid strap across the toes on my football boot when I was at school, and putting pieces of cardboard inside because the nails of the studs were coming through the sole. Thanks for bringing back memories, Doylem, and keep going

offlineMemberMy posts are shite already.
Selah, it is written: the Doylem sayeth "Clegg; remind me again what the war in Afghanistan is all about?"
And they were much afraid, and rent their clothes and bided in the tabernacles.
"The gourd! the gourd!"
Come on Doylem, I can see you're online, stop lurking and post something.Posted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberApologies to MrChigleysAunt for misinterpreting his post. I see (s)he also urged Doylem to stay in a posting about "area man's planned departure".
"Area man", by the way, is a satirical term used on The Onion, reflecting journalists' overuse of the term, originally to avoid libel but often unnecessary. "Area man arrested for driving while intoxicated," etc.Posted 2 years ago #
