Re: I think this is one of those occasions A great read Whitey,can't beat a good match report with a bit of bromance thrown in.
It's my fault. I can remember a couple of years ago when I used to post lengthy essays and you advised me to put it into a blog. You might remember that? Well, I took that advice and created the blog, and in turn tried to cut down the weight of my posts on here. I never took that as criticism. I took it as advice. I have said to you on here in the past that I see you as one of the best contributors, and I seriously could read your thoughts on any subject. Not trying to kiss arse or owt like, but I feel a bit sad when your post ends. Such a great way with words, great at putting things across in a manner that I can then imagine in my wee brain. So when you gave that advice, I took it. However, since we moved houses last month, we've had no broadband. Sky can't fit it until January 10th. So much for their 'home move' promises of swift reconnection etc, but that's another (dull) story. Anyway, it's left me having to use this dongle thing which is slower than Andy Gray. Not just slow, but doesn't allow me to watch videos or get onto my blog. So I thought I'd use the BBS last night to give my report. I really appreciate getting supporters perspectives on any game I can't attend. Which I've found very useful of late when watching Boro or working etc. And because I knew so many of us weren't there yesterday I did give it hammer. And I think I'm always honest and fair in my reports. No agendas or owt. But when I posted it, then read it back I thought "Jay or Mr C will mention how long it is.." So as I say, it's my fault for thinking you were being arsey, when in hindsight now, it's obvious to me you were pulling my leg. So I apologise for that. And perhaps my reading of certain things which I deem arsey are in fact not at all, but I suppose that's the internet for you. Were we talking face to face if you like, I'd have no doubt realised you were speaking in jest. No animosity on my side. None at all with anyone who frequents this forum. In fact, much the opposite. For example, some people I'm guessing would think I'd have an issue with Hemsworth. But as soon as I knew it was him yesterday, I hugged the lad. I'm probably - if anything - a bit too nice. I don't remember falling out with anybody in my adult life, other than my last girlfriend who introduced herself to a mate of mines ****. Oh, I tell a lie, I fell out with him, too. After I'd punched him a few times. The lovely person. The BBS without Jay, would be ****. I say that with nothing but honesty. Not after a hug or owt, or a 'like'. But then, I could say the exact same thing about the majority of posters on here. I love this place. So again, please accept my apologies. *I also apologise to the masses for this incredibly gay post. I apologise also to dustani for that last comment. You Reds, etc.
Funny you should say that. When I originally clicked 'post' it told me I was 466 characters over the 10,000 limit. So I deleted the bit where I discussed the size of your trunk, pal.
Thanks for that Whitey, it is a bit gay, well, a lot gay, but I appreciate it. Reight, I'll try and explain my stupid 'joke'. I have absolutely no problem with long posts. That wasn't the point of the joke. It's just you put 'summary' and then gave a detailed match report. A bloody good one too, as many people have commented on. I just thought it would be funny to say "That's not a summary, it's longer than the actual game." You know, to emphasise that summary really isn't giving what you have written any credit. It's a joke on the word summary, not on you or your report or anything like that. I like long reports (when they're good, which yours are) and I don't want anyone to be put off writing them. My motivation wasn't to have a dig, or to piss you off, or to belittle you in any way, it was to make you laugh. I failed, clearly, but that's my fault not yours. Reight, enough of this ********, I think it's fair to say we're both alreight, so let's not embarrass anyone any more than we already have.
Sums up the BBS when a thread about a football match is infinitely more homosexual than a thread that's subject matter is homosexuality. We'll end this ******** on that note. Long live the good ship BBS.
I second your sentiments about Jay's posts, Whitey. And I say the same about yours (ie for the avoidance of any doubt - that the BBS would be a poorer place without them). If I'm allowed to say that without giving a hug!
Never mind a room, we need a boudoir. Dustani asked earlier if there are any homosexuals on this forum. I think it's obvious from my conversation with Whitey that there are at least two. What a pair of bumbadeers.
