hurrah for a new low in admin police pettiness

[abbey craig]

Without Gen Jack's posts this forum would be dead and buried.
No offence towards Malky/Davie P. and the other admins who do a great job to keep it up and running,but without Gen Jack's unique humour on everyday happenings,I for one would be long gone.

Eh Bill, I honestly have to laugh at this....

nurse ..nurse..... Bills not taking his tablets again

[Bobbie En Tejas]

A lot of us get a lot of great laughs from the General.. Granted, he can be abrasive. I've been the target of it a few times myself. But people say americans are literal, my god, sometimes people here make americans look like literal amateurs... (hmmm, that didn't come out exactly right..) .. but you catch my drift. Or maybe you don't.

A lot of what he says is tongue in cheek, written for the punchline, a little bizarre, thoughtful, opinionated, but usually there is a laugh in there somewhere, and many times laugh-out-loud moments.

Maybe people ought to just lighten up and contribute something themselves... try to get a sense of humor.. a little self-deprecating humor goes a long way. You will notice general makes as much fun about himself as anyone.

I'd rather have one general jack, than 10 posters who do nothing but complain, are dour or have no humor whatsoever.

now, can we just move on??

And I think what I said before ought to be the forum motto, or maybe I'll make it my signature after the elections in 2008: You can't hog a conversation on the forum. Everyone has equal time and space.

Do they go private on BUPA,or does the NHS fund it?Is it one of these ops that depend on your postcode,and is exclusive to PA postcode??

Loved it! And not just because I'm related to the Gen. This has been a classic topic. I use the Kintyre Forum a lot when showing forums to clients - as an example of one that really works. If it was screwed down too tight then it would just be pish. Instead it lives and breathes - and keeps the Gen oot the jail.

....my wife must be right, this place IS for sad people with no life, no friends and no brains, her words not mine, ...

hhaha general! Just saw that. I always find it amusing when people who don't spend much time on the computer say that about people who do... I myself just spent the last month tending to a dying person, hiding when I could from my daughter and two grandkids who were living with me (just moved a couple of weeks ago) and all the friends and activity that come with that, travelling to New York for two weeks, and catching up with more people you can shake a stick at, preparing for a visit from my daughter recently returned from iraq, planning a huge bbq, volunteering at a festival, going to a half-way-to-New-Years party with 80-100 other people, most of whom I know fairly well, going to my normal Thursday night gathering with my musician friends .. etc, etc. etc.

Probably good thing I don't have a life, not sure if I have time for it....

is this :-

a) everyone blows off and gets stuff of their chest and we move on

OR

b) the beginning of the end of this forum


CIVIL WAR ... that's how it looks ... and secondly, I don't care how rated JK Rowling is, however she ended Harry fwording Potter, it could never top this !!!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

I prefer to leave my chest as it is, thankyouverymuch.

Naw, three point seven three, I don't think it is the end of the forum.. I think it was just a stirring of the proverbial pot. And you can't call this a civil war.. there is little civil about it!

[£3.73]

well, I'd like to be neutral, but I'll just mosey on in behind the good General.

(and it beats that fwording 5 word game as well)
