Well done Ricky boy! Super FP, crack a few more off and let's see you in the pantheon of WoM where you belong, man.

Very nice work chaps - lovely to see the spirit of coalition pervading our Biscuit, without feeling the need to cut everything by 20%.
And as for Tiger Tiger - an old stomping ground from my uni days. My word, one word, could I tell some tales about that joint... and certainly me and my girls back in the day were never turned away for being under-dressed.

To be honest, the headline didn't grab me when I saw it on the subs board earlier, but the more I read the article on the FP, the more I like it - good stuff. Have 5 belated stars after the event.

In the words of Gordon Brown, I agree with Rick.
Liked the headline. But the article was even better. A subtle disembowelling of Mandelson.
'Prince of Darkness'? Ha! Tell that to all the casualties of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Many thanks one and all.
And, dare I say, another great image from red...No I don't dare say; he's getting far too much praise already.
(Sorry JP - really missed a trick there.)

Yes, I do
(the system makes you write something in the Post section. You can't leave it blank. So you have to think of something to say, even if you just want to write a title. Probably something to do with search engine optimisation. That's the thing about the Internet, you're encouraged to keep gibbering on.
I call it the Dis-Information age.

Same here.
I mean I love the FP. Zadok's story and Red's brilliant illustration, not Stoopy's other ramblings.
Although he does have a point. There is an oppressive obligation to add something, maybe an amusing story that may be loosely associated with your snappy subject line; or not as the case may be.
I, too, could go on ....

FP and illustration are great. Stoopy used to be funnier; Mary more verbose. My ass hurts.

Ooops, sorry, I missed this. Thanks all - apart from Salty, obviously. And all I can say is: Shucks. Another cracking story from Ludo, too! And yet another one today. Blimey, the man's got talent. Well done sir.

Another cracking sub from afternoonsowl! Loving your work- keep it up, you've really got talent!

All this and a Gilbert and Sullivan reference too - really, how do you find the time?

10 stars, and should you ever need it, I'd be only too happy to donate any of my major organs to keep you writing.

afternoonslow: You're absolutely right, there is far too much toadying on this site.

So let me be the first to say I think you're an utter prick. Oh, and your subs stink too.

Golly gosh, you're right. That feels so much better.

And Salty darlilng... Do fuck off.

Does voting and/or commenting positively on Writers' Room subs count as toadying?

It's a bloody good job that I usually don't bother with that tiresome chore, I'd certainly not want to be seen to react positively to anyone's writing again now!

QorbeQ,I think it where ,one, is jealous of others getting positive feedback and the typical scot wants everyone to be in the same miserable boat or is it a coracle.

see Alex Salmon, the big fish up there, right miserable bastard ,the only problem is he spawned hundreds of thousands like him .

I really shouldn't bother to respond, but I can't help myself...
Rule of thumb on Newsbiscuit - if you like something that someone else has written, you can, if you so wish, tell them so.
Happily, a lot of people write stuff that other people like - ergo, lot's of positive comments.
Is that toadying? Possibly, but who gives a shit?

Ah ha... now it all becomes clear.. Afternoonslow is merely undertaking some warped and misguided Guerilla Marketing tactic.. "I'm a twat and nobody wants my shite iron mongery (especially the shitty fish - wtf!)"

This is merely a tactic to increase the hit rates on his pretty shite and dysfunctional webpage - oh look, another interesting picture of some iron fencing.. and its in red!!!

Wanker! Go and put ya head in ya furnace, and take Alex Salmond with you!

I can't decide if playing the (now defunct) 'identity card' whilst pointing the 'finger of anonymity' (left hand, middle finger) at Mary Evans (aka Mary Evans) or the most-cunningly disguised rickwestwell (aka Richard Westwell) instead of some twat calling himself QorbeQ (aka Mr Beq (c) 2010 PluckyMunky) is a stab at taking this in a more comedic direction or just particularly bad aim?

Either way, it beats my subs hands down. 5*.

Fascinating to see what happens when the mask slips.
For the most part, those who are prolific writers of great subs took having the tables turned in good part.
The venomous spite and bile from Evans, Sauce and others is no surprise, this site is very largely run by and for natural born bullies.
I despise you and all your kind, it has been a pleasure to flush you out.
It is indeed a fine thing to praise others work and say thank you for making the effort, I thought that was what the stars were for.
.
What are you supposed to do if you think the front page is not up to much, and it still is heaped with praise?

I don't know any Latin, google translates the tag as Year of the Singing Man, I intend to keep on singing as quite frankly, my dears, I would rather die than give in to bullying

"Potty-mouthed baby-factory" - QorbeQ you are a genius - there was me deciding what job description to put on my passport renewal and along you come... bless you my good man.

As for the honourable gentleman who enjoys leisurely post-meridians, it's a little rich to accuse anyone of bullying when you have come out of nowhere, completely unprovoked, and attacked anyone who has something positive to say. You ask what to do if you don't like an FP that other people do - er, why not just say you don't like it? Or point and laugh in the privacy of your little cave and say 'what a pile of utter crap' and get on with your life? The camaraderie and banter is what keeps me coming back here and it's a shame of late that there has been a spate of unpleasantness.

But my outburst last night was unladylike and beneath me. I apologise unreservedly. From henceforth I shall keep my conjectures about just how small your penis must be entirely to myself.

I am currently imagining you somewhat akin to a queen ant, burgeoning in the abdominal department whilst directing the other Evans brood to your bidding.

I might be slightly over-engineering the image somewhat, however, plus it's a little rich to dub you (in jest, might I add, in case any meandering site browser happens by) as a prolific populaton-enhancer when I have three of my own plus two step-kids.

Vauxhall Zafiras and their ilk were invented for global resource-hogs like me.

I'm afraid the image isn't entirely correct, QorbeQ - I am only possessed of five legs (Dorset inbreeding, what can you do?). You trump me on the breeding - apres-birth I will have three homemade children and one that came as a BOGOF upon marriage - I salute you sir. And as someone who recently purchased a Ford Galaxy to transport her brood, I will keep very quiet about environmentally irresponsible large cars. Although in our defence, at least you and I fill them with people, unlike many here in the Surrey environs, who merely ferry their organic pomegranates within...

True fact - I used to work at a blacksmiths (well, a farriers to be precise) as a Saturday job when I was a kid. What I don't know about cleaning wrought iron with a wire brush, sweeping up soot and going home with black snot isn't worth publishing.
