Free Speech on the forum

[grahamw48]

What was the business you worked at Graham?
Remember Busby's,nicholsons music centre (bought hard days night there) Betty's still booming people queing up to pay way over odds for a tea and scone

I worked at 'Tilcon' Construction offices.

There were about 10 blokes and 100 girls.

I paid the wages. Happy days.

To me, Bettys Tea Room was where pensioners went. I'm still too young for the place.

Funny how music comes into your head when you're casting your mind back.

'My Brother Jake' by Free is going round my head at the moment.

Les, about your pop quizzes. Dont you think the search engine will destroy it?
The twenty something keyboard warriors will be having a field day, leaving the people who's been there and done it in there wake
Another member was asking about the ' brass in pocket lyrics' again, a quick search would of found it.

There's a timer on that quiz software which can be used to eliminate cheating

[les_taxi]

I trust the members on here they would not cheat

[KeithD]

[subseastu]

And so another troll account bites the dust

[les_taxi]

So was that Apo in disguise keith?

[KeithD]

So was that Apo in disguise keith?

Based on forum experience over the years, and without even doing a trace, yes

[Terpe]

Isn't forum life fascinating
I've learnt a lot anyway

[stevewool]

[KeithD]

Strange how the tone suddenlt changes after an 'oldie' gets excuted init?

[stevewool]

well lets hope it gets back to the good times happy times. i for one am happy today and talking to many many friends , seems like i have been away ages

[gWaPito]

This is cyberspace, you can be anything or anyone you want.

How about a Doctor or maybe a teacher even a retired space astronaut.......its a fantasy land for the fantasist.

I hope Apo gets help soon.....to set up another account in order to provoke more animosity is so desperately sad.

T here was me feeling sorry for him last night after getting the order of the boot.

M y sorrow was wasted

[stevewool]

once someone has to be someone else and then swears , well they have lost it

[steve monty]

well lets hope it gets back to the good times happy times. i for one am happy today and talking to many many friends , seems like i have been away ages

[les_taxi]

From his posts i think he was more koran fan than bible
Anyway If he really did post such offensive words then .... him no loss at all.
We know he can read this as a guest so imagine his anger at not being to reply

[Arthur Little]

Wasn't luv2allah banned weeks ago or am I confused, again?

... he was being monitored, though.

[Doc Alan]

You could be right, Les ... anyway let's look forward to happier threads ... like the quiz

[les_taxi]

Yes lets move on and forget hammerhead

[Arthur Little]

From his posts i think he was more koran fan than bible

Actually, Les ... he's neither. Sadly, there's no getting away from the fact that the majority of Brits are (shall we say?) "indifferent" towards Christianity - rather than professed agnostics or atheists. But Apo's a different breed altogether. He is vehemently opposed to ANY form of religion ... but particularly the Catholic faith into which he'd apparently been born. I can only speculate that his outright hostility stems from some [unspoken] trauma (possibly involving the Church) dating back to his dim and distant past. There again, I could be wrong ... but I've never "encountered" another person who got so worked up as he appeared to, over the very mention of the "R" word. And, of course, as most of us who are regulars here are only too well aware, as far as ANYONE "having the last word" is concerned, it always had to be HIM!

[les_taxi]

I think he hid behind an islamic leaning,he already mentioned his time spent in many muslim countries and he clearly was not for any british values remaining.
Anyway we can debate this forever he was not as clever as he thought and having a go at keith was really a dumb-ass thing to do

[gWaPito]

I know its easy now to cast stones at a guy with no arms but, if he'd had spent as much time and effort making money for his family instead of focusing all his attention on rubbing members up the wrong way, he'd be a rich man now.

RIP Apo

... such as something he mentioned [at least once] about remembering the sight of his mother chasing her priest down the garden path! Ah, dearie me ... the mind boggles!
