Jeri... "Seriously, has anyone here NEVER been an asshole?"

I have been an asshole but it was possibly inadvertent and I apologized for my misunderstanding.

My problem is with real assholes who do it for fun. They suck up to mods, post warm and fuzzy posts on threads... massage... and then troll and get nasty. It's THOSE assholes that concern me. I can be an asshole, by mistake, but I don't make that my agenda to get my rocks off. Big difference.

I suppose if the original poster gets upset by "British" trolling or whatever you call airing a view that is different to others. he / she / it could always keep in the top section where we have healthy debates on the 1954 folk music definition and always see the view of others...

I must admit, I'll always have posts where I can question the relevance of religion, anything about football (real football not the padded helmeted nonsense between advert breaks you get in the USA,) and don't get me started on healthcare...

If you want sanitised discussions, may I suggest joining a church hall debating society? if you want the breadth of opinions, I suggest Mudcat, especially when we don't get people wanting to shut the thread because that bugger over the pond has been saying things that make me upset.... There are some people on here I seriously disagree with, some I would have a beer with later and some I would pour a beer over their head (well lager anyway, beer is too good for them,) but Mudcat bullshit section is to air views. if it were any other way, there'd be no point in having it in the first place. Keep talking like that and Max will have a paddy again and spoil the fun for us all......

What a wonderful word, racist.

Don't have a paddy, otherwise the sandal wearing ethnic skirt wearing thought police will send you for group therapy to calm your karma or whatever such nonsense they are perceived as doing.

Funny how colloquialisms have ancient origins that sneer at sections of a society, but calling someone racist for upholding local traditions, keeping heritage alive, blah blah is an opportunity to point and laugh at you. (I was delighted to see the term used not only in my native Derbyshire, but also used all the time when I was working in Dublin.)

I use the term paddy, always have, always will, up yours,

We could have messages colour coded. If a thread has been initiated bysomeone who is bit of a turd - it could be in brown.

Someone who has been proved consistently to be Irish - it could in green.

Some one who is a bit of a prick - we could have their messages marked out with pictogram of a small penis.

For someone who is a total prick we could have a symbol of big penis.

For someone who's a bit of a twat.....and so on.

In this way we could steer clear of the turds, the pricks, the twats and of course the Irish. Unless that's the sort of company that one habitually seeks out. And why else would you be a musician?

I have never saw so much name calling and bickering on threads as there is here at the moment. Exchange of views is one thing, being downright rude is another.

It used to be a very sociable atmosphere here, a few would do better taking ten steps back and giving just a little more understanding to other people's feelings.

'Erbert I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you.....

I'm really sorry mate - but you have been using your Izal the WRONG WAY ROUND.

The smooth side is made for a smooth comfortable intercourse with the anal cavity. The rough abrasive side is so that your fingers can get effective purchase and swish and poke around effectively.

I have this from the horses mouth - so to speak.

I conclude by wishing you more happy and stress free wiping experience than life has hitherto granted you.

GfS.... everyone can read your posts and draw their own conclusions. You wrote them. You OWN them. Seems you just can't accept that ownership or even read your own posts and understand what you posted in the manner that you posted them. Added to that, you continue to post on threads (Bobert's) when it is clearly in poor taste and unwarranted.

This thread is actually about people like you. And everyone who reads your posts knows it. Have you NO shame? or brain?

Deny 'em their yearly quota of mangos!!!

If that don't smarten them up, defenestrate the bozos! Meanin'...throw 'em out of high windows.

And if that don't do it, restrict 'em to buyin' only 10 rounds of ammo a year, small caliber, .22 or less! That should do it. They will soon come around and have the sense to act decently.

A Museum is probably the only place youngest & future generations will ever get to see a roll of Izal.

Let alone thrill to the first hand interactive experience of using a sheet or two in action.

New old stock rolls and memorabilia are fetching increasingly extravagant auction prices,
pushed up ever higher beyond £30 or more by greedy speculators and gullible private collectors.

Used rolls may be more affordable, but you take your chances on condition & quality...???

Days of Forty Nine

I'm old Ben Bloggs
From the town square bogs
And mine is a mighty chore
My mission is to make every bum
Awfully red and sore
I'm an awful chap
When you sit for a crap
I'll afflict you beyond reprisal
I'm afraid old chum
Your poor old bum
Will soon be wiped raw by Izal

Chorus
So what care I
If in pain people cry
For I am a character shady
Round the bogs I lurk
Doing my dirty work
In the Gents and in the Ladies
