Trouble is 'Observer' today..

who knows what GUEST name tomorrow...???

Who cares..

I'll just have a go back at any guest who comes here acting superior like they run the place...

that's the working class council estate boy reflex still in me...

Those who speak as "we" and "us" and orchestrate punishment for someone who amounts to a lonely, embattled and embittered old man are smaller than they think they are and specialize in dividing a community.
And in the scheme of things, for what?

I have often thought the new policy of excluding GUEST posts in BS was a surrender to kill diversity. It is rare to find a diamond in a goats ass anyway. Authorities only turned a possibility into an impossibility.

Helen, you will best appreciate TP's "Jingo"
from having read many of the other TP Discworld books beforehand.

"Jingo" has these central factors, with which it is
best to have some background familiarity and history.

The Patrician ... ah, shoot, what IS his name again?
The Night Watch. All of them out in force.
And, regarding the Night Watch,
Commander Vimes and his "Bingly-Bingly BEEP!"
Leonardo da Quirm plays a starring role, but you have to know who he is (introduced in that book about The Gonne).
Klatsch. Or is it Klatsh? can't remember.
The meddlesome aristocrats of Ankh.

This is one of TP's more involved plots.
But then, I am what Mudcatter Will Fly calls
A Bear of Little Brain,
and sometimes TP's plotting confuses the expletive deleted out of me.
Enjoy.

Observer is an ex-member who has had his membership revoked. He can no longer post below the line so he now uses the same tactics as he used to use, above it. Not that clever really as it gives the game away as to who he is and, yes, the best idea is to just ignore him.

Aaaahh, it's not who I thought it was then, posting as a guest to disguise his identity - he's still posting down here.

I could be wrong BWM. Maybe it was just a terible guess :-)

My thread with no further posts has been added to! It did go 45 hours with no one posting though :-)

If that really was such a "Terible" guess it "woodcock" up this whole thread - bugger it, even...

Oh, it's him is it? He always was a pain in the arse. Mind you, at least he actually had some facts at his command most of the time, even if they were always a bit one-eyed...

Shall we now change the subject or shall we risk adding to Dave's buggered thread count...

How about if we reach beyond mere thread-buggering here and see if we can determine who holds the buggered *life* record?

I'm pretty sure that many would claim a buttered life record but it they can waste time on here, they can't be doing too bad :-)

I'm having to check with meself here that I'm entirely comfortable with buggered and buttered in the same thread... :-)

I used to think any contribution from me was the kiss of death for a thread which would then die. I understand DtG's concerns. I now look at the people posting to a thread before I read the contributions.If I see certain names appearing repeatedly I know it will be a "'Tis" "'Tisn't" childish spat and read no further.

I see The Gobby ex-Squaddie and The Village-Idiot of Hertford have finally buggered the 'Brexit #2' thread.

It's perfectly possible to ignore that pair of fuckwits and their hangers-on. Just. Ignore. The. Trolls.

Apologies, it's the 'Reclaim the CentreGround' thread.

Buggered, buttered, battered. What's it matter?

Mind you, I suspect If I asked for a buggered balm cake or buggered sausage at the chippy I may be shown the door :-)

P.S. Don't mention the K word on here BWM. You know what they say about speaking of the devil!
