Tales of P&B Past

Funny how whenever the good times of old get brought up it's always the box office posters that have made the laughs, without them it would just be a load of old men wanking over Judith Ralston and Liz Hurley, creepy fuckers

Honestly what's the point in people like Rugster at least some people on the sidelines will make you laugh the p***ks on the sides who do nothing are the worst part of this place, they'll have been here for 10 years and never made a post worth reading

. It's probably something that will regularly still be cast up, but because you're continually honest about it and don't try to deny it or say you meant it as a joke means it's now cast up more in jest than as a means to hit you over the head with. 

You could give a few folk on here lessons on how to recover from an embarrassing misjudgement

This is an excellent post.  For all the nonsense that he has pulled, @philpy clearly a decent guy.

Now go home and have a game of pool with your paedo, while wearing shite trainers, doing the slug on the floor and arguing about ambulences.

Was there not also some story of someone Facebook messaging Adam about how bad he and LM were as parents and how they should lose their kids?

This came out during the Skidmarks scandal. This is when the poster in question described them as a pair of "alki junkies," after which @Alan Stubbs searched P&B for that term and found the only person to have ever used it with that spelling was... well, you guessed it.

An early precursor for the "definetely" moment in Line of Duty. Maybe Jed Mercurio is a member here.

There was also Magee who had a meltdown after somebody called him a bad parent because he took his kid(s) to Celtic Park.

This is an interesting post.  When the forum took off almost immediately there was the accusation that a clique had formed that basically decided what was and wasn't acceptable.  Almost all the posters who were alleged to be members of the clique and those who bemoaned the influence of the clique have now stopped posting but it was a dominant part of the conversation, especially in General Nonsense for many years.  The clique was alleged to be a group who met up IRL, for drinks and at games.  The injokes from these events came onto the forum and some felt excluded and began to complain of the 'clique'.  A little later, groups of more aggressive anti-clique posters began posting, including groups of Falkirk supporters who often seemed quite threatening towards clique members who shared their support of the Bairns.  Eventually, people drifted away on both sides and it became part of P&B history.

However, as we can see from 8Mile's post the psychological process behind this is something that lives on.  Some people often feel excluded from the conversation, even if they aren't and seek to justify or explain this by blaming a clique, a group, an elite.  This impulse is something we've seen throughout human history and is one that we see having a big impact in society and politics.  The Right in Britain seem to have fallen behind the idea of the "metropolitan elite" of limp wristed, unpatriotic, Guardian reading, latte drinking Remainers.  The primary party of the Left in Britain has been captured by a group whose viewpoint is conspiratorial and bordering on the very dark conclusion of most conspiracy theories.  Even in Scotland, many of our citizens embrace the idea that conspiracies among civil servants, council workers, geologists and the media abound.

Once again, P&B foreshadowed a troubling development in our society.  So while it's easy to dismiss the likes of xbl and 8Mile as tubby incels or BS merchants (respecitively) their behaviour is more representative than perhaps we'd like to admit.  Perhaps the increasing belief in conspiracies is a reaction against our strange, somewhat meaningless world.  We all have far more than any previous generation but we don't have meaning, we dont' have a purpose and in looking for something to rage against, something to campaign against, something to warn against we are searching for meaning.  Consumerism has made all our lives materially better maybe we are diminished as human beings by it.

 

All this needs is an "and then something strange happened" and some Burial tune playing over the background and you have your next Adam Curtis doc.

I don't know if @throbber has ever recovered from that entire episode. 

Well.... I have often speculated about the relationship between Skidmarks and throbber....

I think 'GLOVES' means nothing to most of the new posters without this:

... when he came back he was quite different, he was obviously on medication to control his urges towards drinking and it turned him into a walking comedy sketch. He would jive across the office, call everyone man and constantly, I mean constantly, hum to himself. I used to sit next to him and it was like sitting next to a radio constantly tuned to Jazz FM. "Dooo bee doo doo doo bap doo wop doo waaaah" for every second of the 8 hour shift.
He would also talk/sing to himself about what he was doing, as Swampy remembers. So if it was his week doing the morning reports you'd get "doo bee doo be dobeee, ahh'mmm doooooin the morning report, doop doo dee waaah".
Eventually he'd take things that were said or mentioned and work them into his routine. So if someone said "Who's coming fro lunch? I fancy a sandwich" you'd get about 30 seconds later "Lunchy lunchy woo beee doooo". This was noticed and we'd deliberately mentioning things completely out of context to get them into his songs.  One notable occasion was when a mate of mine stood up apropos of nothing and said very loudly "GLOVES" and sat down. Thirty seconds later "gloves, wooo hoo dop yeah, gloves yeahh"

I still regularly use Cuntoo as an insult.

I've rewatched Century of the Self and The Trap in the last fortnight so this is a fair point.

However, what it would really need would be

At the same time, the Inner Mongolian Communist Party politburo was meeting in Ulan Bator.  The decisions made there had nothing to do with Pie and Bovril and there were no links in any way between these two events.  However, they were actually the two most important and most linked events in the history of the human race.

Yeah, all those accounts are controlled by Div to bring more traffic to the site. Magee too.
