Hopping frog hop here and be seen
I'll not pelt you with stick or stone
Your cap is laced and your coat is green
Goodbye , we'll let each other alonePlodding toad , plod here and be looked at
You the finger of scorn is crooked at
But though you're lumpish , you're harmless too
You won't hurt me and I won't hurt youCristina Rossetti

offlineMemberAfternoonslow, old chap, I hope you don't mind awfully if I say this but it seems that what you call toadying is what some might call being supportive. Just a thought.
Moreover, it's not just sucking up to strangers in the hope of achieving vicarious friendships in cyberspace. I've actually met jp1885, Sauce and Mr Blacker and I can assure you they're a right bunch of twunts.
It's a medically proven fact that unresolved anger like yours can be bad for health, almost as bad as living in Edinburgh. So be a good chap and fuck off and see if you can get your shrivelled ginger testes wet by dipping them in the depths of your home culture you deep fried pie-eating transvestite.

offlineMemberand another thing. You aren't going to win the Tonypandy Cup with work like that. After you heat it, draw it out, upset it, twist it and drift it you are supposed to consider blends, symmetry, asymmetry, flow and consistency. Oh and your welding isn't supposed to look like pigeon shit.

onlineMemberOI!!!!! Please remember that there are some non-ginger, non-miserable, non-passive-aggressive, and non-deep-fried-food-eating Scots around here.
For fuck sake Afternoon, get yourself a wee life, eh?
Don't like it? Get tae fuck elsewhere then.
Don't think people on a web site should be nice and supportive to each other? Fuck off to one of those sad bastard battle sites like World of Warcraft or whatever.Jeezo pal, after all the hard work I've put in to prove that not all Scots are miserbale, greetin' faced, torn scone puses, and in one fell swoop you ruin it.
Away and do something constructive with your ironmongery, like manufacture yourself a smile.
(Apologies for spelling, grammer etc being appalling, I'm too pissed off to care...)

offlineMemberFascinating to see what happens when the mask slips.
Paranoid much?
For the most part, those who are prolific writers of great subs took having the tables turned in good part.
No, everyone called you a twat in various ways. All of them.
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.
Oh God, make it stop! Sauce a venomous bully, eh? Oh, my aching sides! Fair comment about Mary Evans, from what I can tell.
I despise you and all your kind, it has been a pleasure to flush you out.
This is a quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, isn't it? Do you fart in our general direction? Are you sixteen?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.
And the "Comments" box, Sherlock, what did you think that was 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?
Bugger me, let's work it out, shall we? Hmmm... comments box... stars for scoring... no, I'm stumped.
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
Cabbage crates coming over the briny! Bally fourpenny ones in the custard! No, I'm just not getting your banter.
Afternoony, me old cock sparrah - you've posted about 30 subs, and no-one has ever commented on a single one of them. Apart from one good one, "Married physicist discovers 'doesn't matter'." That got some really good supportive comments. Since then, nothing. Not one.
If you can't write something worth calling funny, try to hide your bitterness that other people can, eh? Makes you look a bit dim.
FWIW, I liked the fish. But I'm no blacksmith.

onlineMemberThanks Mary, there are actually a few more Scots around here, but they keep more quiet about it than I am capable of.
Oh, and I got the "Latin" tag. Indeed it should.

offlineMemberOh, even though it's obviously a troll, it's brilliant. Time for a quick toad - you're a fecking hilarious bunch, all of you, and I'm proud to call you fellow biscuits.
Afternoonslot, if you are real, we've all done it - posted something when pissed and regretted it, and there's no 'delete' button these days. Best to just keep shtum, and we'll all be laughing at something else next week.

afternoonslow
offlineMemberI am the only one here whose identity is known, so it's hardly likely to be me who is paranoid
I only know members by the way they speak to me.
That there is a fawning cabal of self-congratulatory chums is manifest in the Front Page more often than not.
Comments of congratulation to the writer (of same) are so routine they have little value or meaning
or at least I find t6hem so.
I put on my web site because the form asked for one, it's the only one I have.
(The fish is nothing to do with me.)I am not in the least apologetic for being Scots, the notion that you have to seek approval from anyone is very odd..
I am not jealous of others, it is a painful process, learning what might work by trial and error.
That is the whole point of the site, I thought.
I am often embarrassed by what I have posted but assume that most go through a similar experience.......I actually thought that I was groping towards a style that allowed me to say what I was thinking, however seem to have suddenly bellowed The Emperor has No Clothes.....dreadfully sorry one and allPosted 2 years ago # -

offlineMember(The fish is nothing to do with me.)
This is honestly the saddest, most poetic thing I've read in a long time - all the fight's gone out of me.
Good luck to you, afternoonslow - in future if you don't agree with what can seem like a procession of congratulation, just say "actually, I thought it was a bit dull, rick", and I'll welcome the advice. And try not to call us all bastards, eh?

offlineMemberAl, the "married physicist" was one of Sooty's less good one liners.
I am reminded of the likening of Scotsmen to haemorrhoids.
If they come down and go back up you can put up with them.
If they come down and stay down they are a pain in the ass (or as some would put it "the year of the singing man").Slow, do go back up, there's a good chap.

Ah yes. Bugger. Sorry Sooty (just plucking my Old Norse out of my arse and realising that 'Sooty' is the poster above). Well, then, "Greece to be Returned to the British Museum" is pretty good - I'd have toaded over that if I'd seen it at the time.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've just plucked an Old Norse out of my arse...

offlineMemberSo it's just me then?
No other toadies on Newsbiscuit at all, just me?
I have spent the last 35 years toadying to get where I am today and it has worked out really well.
I guess you will all go in tomorrow and tell the boss exactly what it is you think of him/her?
No toadying.
No sucking up.
I could do your job better than you shithead. Yeah right.
Just the honest truth.
Of course you are all toads - we are all toads.
Or do you simply rely on your charm, intelligence, wit and unfaltering ability to get through the day while all those around you have to toady there ass off.
There's nothing wrong with toadying. It's what makes the world go round.
You going to miss out on that big contract by telling that twat what a twat he/she really is?
It's how we get where we want to be. It's human nature
Yes it's humiliating, yes it is beneath us, yes it hurts...but let's face it - toadying works.
But don't be so fucking pious....you fucking toads.
Get real.
I've never seen such a bunch of fragile egos.
I think you are all wonderful
I really do.Posted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberYou're so right of course, Ed.
Praise here can be a tacit contract. Of course, if you praise a shitty sub you'll look dumb, but if you praise one that's been posted, then you can't go wrong. Of course we will honestly consider it worthy of praise, but we are conscious of our social obligations too.

offlineMemberThis is busy. Am I too late to be called a toadying sycophantic bastard?
Have you all lost weight? I heard writing humorous news stories is both good exercise and makes you look younger. That's why you all must be looking so fabulous of late.
How's that? Usually I have to visit the family be called a cnut, but doing it online would save me the cost of 4 bus tickets a year - which could go on gin.Is the chat-room too full of endless praise which groups people together in a glob of cool-kid status? It's not impenetrable but flouncy got very publicly bitten (no ones fault but...) - I'm sure some silicon valley arsehole has a formula for the make-up of any internet forum whereby you reach a certain size and end up with a core and a bunch of satellite users. (Silicon valley is the computer one right? not the porn one?
Meh.
And now it's Fucking Monday. Pint anyone?
