There was a rumour flying around Lidl, at Wombwell, this afternoon, that Young Nudger is, once again, banned from the BBS. I think he had been there, earlier, as the celebrity guest to open their new cheese counter, but was a little distressed about his latest ban...if he actually has been, of course. The Nudger haters will, no doubt, jump on me, and posting alleged untruths is a clear and obvious no-no, but he is, without doubt, my favourite poster on here. I take a hell of a lot of what he posts with a pinch of salt, but a lot of what he posts makes me often ache with laughter. A bit of a Frankie Boyle. Some seem to despise him, while some think he is comedy gold. But, one thing's for certain, he isn't one of these 'beige' posters. Fact or fiction, truth or lies, I enjoy all his posts, and will miss them if he, truly has gone....for a while. The big, daft, tweed wearing, bird spotting, b0ll0cks talking, Hecky interrogating *****.
If he is banned ( I have no idea as he is on my ignore list)(a list of 1) I am sure Tykesmad site will be informed and Gally slated.
Unfortunately, I missed him. However, there were a couple of overjoyed, elderly ladies outside, who'd had the pleasure of a Selfie with him. And the young chap, on the cheese counter, claimed Nudger gave him a peck on the cheek, and even stated he will never wash his face again on the strength of it.
Admittedly I’m a bit pissed, but are you saying that Andy Lidl was spotted eating cheese in Wombwell, illegally gambling on fruit machines?
In fact, I will reveal my favourite 5 posters, in no particular order; Fitzytyke - speaks fact and common sense Shed131 - speaks sense, mixed with comedy (plus runs a boozer, I think) Redhelen - relative newby who will challenge posts in a non-confrontational manner Young Nudger - comedy genius. Just that. username - rayt goalkeeper due to fill Butland's gloves. Liberating.
In my mind he saw Hecky, unleashed 20 seconds of completely incomprehensible noise, Hecky responded "sure mate" whilst backing away slowly, and that confirmed all of Nudger's opinions
And a new entry at No.6 is Getrammellon - doesn't post often enough, but when he/she does, it is insightful, eloquently worded, factual, informative. Plus he/she introduced me to the seedy world of squirrel porn. There's no turning back.
I think he is a decent poster he gives his opinions I found the hecky thing hard to belive just because of some of the things supposedly said. I've been more disappointed with his posts when he has seemed to have condoned racism on here in the past. Can't say I agree with much of what he posts but I like to here a alternative view hope he isn't banned for that long.
No, to be fair, before posting that, I had a quick skim through looking for any hint or suggestion that he had been banned, but drew a blank. He approached a mate of mine, in Lidl yesterday, expressing his disappointment at his latest ban, so maybe it's a self imposed one. But folk like him are the lifeblood of such forums. A small few have him on ignore, a handful seem to simply dislike him, some find his wind ups unfunny while some find them hilarious and see them for what they are - lighthearted humour. A fine example of this was a home match this season where he ranted along the lines of 'Stendel got XYZ wrong... Cavare had a shocker, etc...' (I actually think we won the game) which prompted someone to question if he had actually been to the game, to which he replied 'No, I was going to but decided to stop in Chennells'. Priceless.
I have to say I've never liked the "wind up" style of humour. It basically boils down to taking the piss out of people while either laughing at them to their face or sniggering behind your hand. Horses for courses I guess. You always seem to make your posts amusing without having to resort to it.
Thanks, Mr Churts, and for what it's worth, I really do think you're a smashing BBS contributor too. But I just have a lighthearted outlook on life in general. I would never put anyone on ignore, but there are a small few I choose not to engage with due to their confrontational manner. We have a broad spectrum of folk on here. Some love a good old political discussion, some swerve them (me), some look for help and advice, some come to laugh at others' expense while some come to make others laugh. But we all, still, have that one common interest, that being our football club.
