er....to follow....stuff about ownership of modes of production...the French (of course) and how the price point of Methode Champenoise at Waitrose means that anyone could be such a socialist but only the rich can be true Champage Socialists in the true sense...

offlineMemberAnd such precise use of the English language. Well done. A bizarre way to speak to someone who enjoys the satire of the site and wishes to amuse others with their rapier wit.
Why would someone call another person such based on a suggested heaadline?
The mystery continues, but probably only in your head.
Kind Regards,
Maurice

offlineMemberMy powers of comprehension must be waning fast. I didn't understand the headline or why it might be funny, but at least I didn't criticise it, because someone somewhere was probably amused and I would have looked less than bright.
But when I was left at a total loss to understand why this provoked such a reaction, I thought I should own up to being mystified. Salty, I used to think you were a funnyman, not a nastyman - so I'm going to boycott you (that's a technical, cricketing, term); I shan't read any of your contributions for the next 24 hours.
That'll show you!

offlineMemberAh, the wonders of the interweb, allowing people to call someone a cunt, for no obvious reason, and without any unpleasant repercussions... such as a fist in the face. Cunt, cunt, cunt. Here I am, sitting in my underpants, in front of my computer, on a Saturday morning, calling someone I'll never meet a cunt. Well done me...

offlineMember@ Umpire,I'm not particularly funny nor particularly nasty.It's simply a question of too many 'new' people registering under multiple names and supporting 'each others' subs under the guise of humour.Why don't people register under one name ? Get to know others first before flooding the board with the first thing that enters their heads.
Cleverer people than I have tried to point this out in a more subtle way,to no avail.Some just don't post anymore,which is a shame.
Should I tell them what I think in such a way ? Probably not,but..it's the only language these people understand...mea culpa.I'll postpone posting my Dignitas epic for 24 hours..or weeks...maybe months.
Yours,at deep fine leg,whatever that means..

offlineMemberThanks. Some civilised comment. I can assure Saltire that I am none of the things he suggested. I am a single new user at awe of the wit generated from this website. I am not interested in voting or whatever you do so slap yourselves on the back round here. Just thought I would put a toe in the water. Perhaps my headline is a little high brow and complex to be either understood or indeed funny. I will try harder next time. Perhaps something about football or beer perhaps? Maybe a little racism?
I will take your advice and try to get into the old boys network before I dare to suggest anything in the near future.

offlineMemberThanks Golgo - I did notice straight away that I posted in the wrong room. Half wit new user that I am. Still, if comments generated was the game then, for a first post, I have not done too badly I guess. I will think harder and post in the right place when I can come up with a Daily Mail style headline incorporating a drunken, gay, immigrant, black man in a wheelchair, with AIDS.

offlineMemberMaurice,Daily Mail readers are ***** gags have been done to death.Drunken,gay,immigrants who are black and in wheelchairs and who may or may not have aids can be fair game,especially if they former members of despotic african regimes.
If you've got a political axe to grind or you are up to your neck in political correctness,you may be offended here by the opinions of others.
As far as racism is concerned,I don't believe we've ever had a genuine racist post here,my opinion of course.We have had a few 'you're a fascist' 'you're a racist'posts,responses,which don't seem to attract any support,thank god.
Best to stick to the white,under-educated EDL supporters or the inbreds of Norfolk.They always go down well at The Guardian Xmas,sorry,Winterval cheese and wine party.
Carry on Maurice...Posted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberThanks. On the right track then after a somewhat difficult start. PC is not for me, in fact the wheelchair user referred to is a line from a song that I wrote...I am starting to like it round here though. Unfortunately, having tried to post a headline in the right place I seem to have trodden on toes by not reading fully the previous headlines. AArrrgg. Can you delete????

offlineMemberMaurice - there are some odd people on here. But the trick is to ignore them when they get abusive. Having been on the receiving end of some flak myself, I've found this is the best way.
As for the header, I'm guessing it could be about Champagne Socialists having to drink Methode Champ in these straitened times, possibly. Still ok even if I may have misinterpreted it.
So do keep at it, and ignore the nutters.

offlineAdministratorAhem - just to say chaps that nobody should be calling anyone else a Jeremy Hunt on this site. Post your stories, be quick to praise and slow to criticize, helpfully suggest how other people's stories might be improved, and if something really does offend, then please only say why if you can do so in reasonable and well-argued terms. And save the venom for the really deserving targets... like the TV controller who decided we should have local weather after the national weather (we don't care who we attack on NewsBiscuit...)
