Do I have to be excluded from the panel cause I'm vegetarian?

Mick, your sense of humour is wasted here!

Fraid not Bob. I have applied to manage Real Madrid though as they usually have a vacancy on an annual basis. I have a 100% record having for one season led my son's team to glory in the Friday night U8's 7 a side leage on the astroturf at Dulwich Hamlet. I can't act though.

I'm a 50 something 'grey headed auld hoor' (as is how it is put in my homeland). I'm also seeking worthwhile employment since being made redundant. In this age where ageism is not supposed to exist but probably does, do you think I should dye my hair to try and look younger? Whilst I'm at it I recently received a call from an agency asking if I was interested in a position in a company which supplies meat. I couldn't help laughing so the person said to me 'you're not a vegetarian are you?'. I am. Will a blonde meat-eater have more success than I'm having currently? All serious answers will be totally ignored!

MP, my comments are based on what happened at the w/end. I was not aware of there being something else going on in the background until quids made his remark after I asked him what I thought was a reasonable question.As he has chosen not to answer the question I assume he didn't read Chrystal thread, which I considered to be central to the debate. Obviously here was a different debate going on which I've no opinion on as I know nothing about it. It's a shame you felt it necessary to have thrown the towel in as that doesn't amount to a victory worthy of the name for HAL. All we are dealing with here are words which can often be miscontrued. Your defence of Chrystal was based on somthing more than that, knowledge of the person.

Moderatoritis? You better not resign Sean or the end really will be nigh!

As far as I'm concerned,yes. If there are other agenda's then I'm not aware of them though I'd have to be blind not to see an undercurrent of bad feeling in this thread. 'Eh Declan' is a bit patronising by the way, don't you think?

MP, it wasn't a snipe at quids. You are probably aware that when Chrystal started that thread I tried to engage the person in conversation to try and understand what the problem was (there was very little clarity in what was written) while some called for Admin to step in due to various things they considered offensive. My point to quids was that without having read that thread it is impossible to make a judgement due to all of the facts not being available. Your defence of Chrystal is based on knowing the person which is fair enough as everyone (well me anyway) writes garbage here on occasions which doesn't reflect who we really are or what we are really like. Chrystal came across as being completely 'out of it'. The debate which ensued was to do with Hal's comments on your role as a moderator and the fact you defended the posts by Chrystal where in the past you might not have been so forgiving. Have I got that right? So if quids has all of the information and then chooses to blame HAL for your resignation so be it.He is entitled to his view as much as anyone else. If he hadn't read the thread though he's hardly in a position to blame anyone for it.

Why was the thread removed MP? I presume you know it's content was nothing like a pun whatever way you looked at it.

Only MP can answer that in this case.

If you are talking about the quiz night thread last week-end it appeared that the 'character' in question was exceedingly pi**ed and used a lot of abusive language and suggested other things that some found offensive.If you read the thread which was removed overnight you wouldn't describe it a someone being a 'bit upset' but extremely upset to say the least.

Eh...what does?

I thought it was a very long letter that I didn't feel like reading. Thanks for the summary though!

How many personas is one allowed on here? Are any of you real or just something engineered to entertain or annoy me? Am I real? Is there anything around the next corner before I reach it? Is this ED's answer to Star Treks holodeck? Should that be hollow?

'Yeah'...............good.

I don't recall Beckham being a diver as you imply.Good with free kicks for sure. Will you ever forget that world cup winning one he got against Greece?....... Or was it a draw, and meant you didn't have to go into a two legged playoff against Antartica to qualify for the wc? Felt like you won it though given the number of times it's rolled out on the tele!

Not the veggie burgers I eat Monica!

In normal circumstances if the ball goes out of play directly from a restart it's a scrum to the other team in the centre of the pitch. From what I understand from the laws of the game this does not apply if 'time is up'. Therefore the game would have ended there and then. MInd you having looked at the laws you could only deduce this from there being no mention of it as a reason for the game to continue. Am I imaging things but was not Stephen Jones penalty converted in added time? If so the game should have ended then.

Round two scores: Declan 51 Total 125 Mick 46 124 David 58 115 Arthur 42 73

It probably thanks to Drogba that lot happened! Anyway, Lee Byrne dived.......the Scot was mid-air as Byrne passed him. It was convenient to make contact as Byrne wasn't going to get to the ball. All the tut tutting about Flannery is a bit much. It was a poor attempt to slice a Frenchman in half and doesn't compare to much of the unseen foul play that happens in the forwards such as gouging. As for the English captain..........I can't explain that one away. In a way that was the worst one as we don't want that in rugby please.
