It's true

Under dave Jones we had that black fella up front , ex England player , Micheal something

He wasn't very good but that wasn't the point

We were in the ninian park car park waiting for a burger pre game

On the Tuesday night he had missed a penalty given when Cameron Jerome was pulled down

A feeble effort

Anyway someone remarked that our fella must not be allowed to take any more penalties ......which we all agreed with

My then mates old man said , which was a lovely contribution ........

That fecking ***** has been eating too much jungle food the black etc etc

So I pissed off to the ground

That's what happened stan me old chum

Ricketts wasn't bad at all, a bit overweight, but you could see that he could play, his movement was very good and i think that he scored 5 or 6 goals, and he brought jerome on a treat.

yeah, not sure if he was tailing off by the time he came to us or whether that was his demeanor.

Indeed, and there's no doubt that the forum is simply a reflection of society and it's rapid descent....

A writer looking a couple of millenia ahead of his time wrote this:-

"....people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals.."

Who wrote that?

Not that I'm ageist or anything but this place has skewed more "old and angry" in recent years. All the young'uns took their posting talents to twitter.

This is still the best City forum though and it's not even close.

It comes from the same compendium that includes a reference to a deity that instructed for children to be killed.

Nothing wrong with animals: they're often better than humans

Most of the self absorbed, rude, hypocritical people I’ve met believed in their imaginary friends so that quote is rubbish

There are just not enough people on here now. So it frequently breaks down into arguments between just two posters.

The 'Banter' board? Yeah, there would be bother. Haven't seen Nugent on here, pissed up and banned from El banterio for a while.

Stewart Lee is brilliant - and very funny.

I value good comedic timing and great build ups like the next person but this is just like listening to somebody with dementia, it's unbearable, according to the logic of this messageboard that somehow makes me right wing!?

People with Dementia can be very funny sometimes.

Still, each to their own. I also like Ricky Gervais, although his latest show wasn’t a patch on Lee’s.

---

his shows last in excess of two hours because he repeats the build up lines to the punch over and over, I can't imagine his shows are chock full of laughter from start to finish

Very few comedians, if any, have sets that are chock full of laughter from start to finish. It's all subjective, though. I love Lee's stuff. Meanwhile, some of the most popular comedians in the country leave me cold.

absolutely, it'd be a boring old existence if we only had one or two options to choose from
