He is also a massive danger Limmy was right when he said that Stephen Fry is, at best, a rememberer of things he's read. Nothing more. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 3 hours ago, Mr Waldo said: My last comment on this is a quote from Stephen Fry, "A grand canyon has opened up in our world and the crack grows wider every day. As it widens, the armies on each side shriek more and more incontinently at their perceived enemies across the divide, their gestures and insults growing ever huger, cruder and louder. But as the fissure widens and the distance between the two sides increases, the chances of either group hearing or interpreting the other – even if they wanted to, which they don't – decreases daily. The hatred, contempt, distrust, fear and abhorrence each feels for the other is absolute, immovable, implacable, visceral. I, and millions like me, do not have a place on either side. You can find us cowering down in the ravine below, while the armies clash, clatter and screech above." You aren't as intelligent as you think you are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't swap my tough Menzieshill High education for any of that Harris Academy nonsense, with their Latin and Greek studies. The woodwork department at my school had a maternity unit down the corridor, and it didn't do me any harm.

Szamo's_Ammo Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I wasn't going to make a scene but I've received a number of messages from people asking me to do a post, so here goes... It is the beginning of a new month and I have some very exciting news to share with the good side of the forum: A big congratulations and well done to everyone who made this moment possible. The forum is a slightly better place today. As a tribute, let's revisit JTS98's final contribution to Pie and Bovril in all of its glory: On 18/09/2020 at 00:33, Guest JTS98 said: Even when I am off the board for a couple of days, I have a quick check in to find @Szamo's_Ammo 's obsession still has him frantically running around looking for my old posts to red dot. A tragic figure. Imagine that as a use of your time? I feel for the lad. Still, VT will get angry if he doesn't. Anyway, just about time for the beach. Happy dotting, Szammo! I wonder what the oldest post you can dot is. There's a fun game. Fly high with the P&B angels. #GBNF #DrainTheSwamp #LifesABeach 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought so, considering some of the posters that are still here despite their appalling contributions and behaviour over the years. He probably just asked for his account to be deleted. He's already set up a dotting account in any case- @Getcher. Bless him.

MONKMAN Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I am sure people voted for Brexit because the NHS would get millions. What people think they are getting and what they are actually getting are two different things.That’s why the country is such a shambles in the first place, as they allow people this monumentally thick to vote.

Very disappointed that he didn't float the idea of resigning on here first to engage us on what was the right thing to do. I do hope he is enjoying his time at the beach, browsing old articles on Spiked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 With JTS98 gone, I'm reminded of a Malcolm Tucker quote: "It's the ending of a chapter of a very thin book that nobody enjoyed reading." 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
