My idea of hell Declan is an eternal st Paddy's day where everyone is drinking except me.

Oh and just in case anyone want's to slag the Jocks (Ted), be my guest.

"Fact is BBW (and thank you for giving us the platform) we actually like the English mostly. You of course are an exception but you'd expect that anyway.Apart from football yobs, tattoos, expecting foreigners to understand you speaking English in their country, and having very little interest in anything beyond your own shores, you (not YOU) are decent folk. Good sense of humour, if not quite as developed as ours, fair minded,and prepared to put up with eejets like us, as you percieve us! So I won't say a bad thing about you lot." I value your contribution more than you can imagine Declan. I'm treating this as Penance. Keep it coming.

Damn you Brendan I was just about to write that!!!

"No - its only the people who are on it that mind you being on it." I guess when you are on the forum, you are not annoying your site manager...so he's happy." Oh well that's just charming isn't it. My site manager/agent is a northener whose much more powerfully built than me and is rock hard. I don't annoy him. If I've got nothing to do and he can't find anything for me to do or if he's generally in a good mood he doesn't mind me pottering about on the forum. The clerk of works got caught on Facebook last week and she got bellowed at by him and she cried. I think Facebook is gash anyway.

Jah Lush is aware of this from a while back but I thought I'd just rub it in the face of the gooners on the forum. I was on the demolition of Highbury (Keltbray Demolition & civil engineering contractors) and I brought my Spurs mad little brother some of the bricks from the site to smash up for his birthday. Hope no one's too sour about that.

I saw that as well SF. The lengths some people/inmates will go to eh. Sounds disgusting. A bit like if Quid's and Mick Mac were doing stir and gambled on who could toss themselves off the fastest.

"Speak for yerself, BBW. I'm here slaving away all day, with a deadline." Same here Lou. I come on the forum when I'm not carrying out engineering reports, enforcing safety, site and contractor meeting etc... I come on the forum for a bit of entertainment as the forum is miles better than Facebook and my site manager doesn't mind me going on it either.

"I work with people who are quite happy to waste the day away while the workers get on with it." What do you think we're all doing on here?

I'm guilty of still being on the anniversary copy but I thought I'd share this grammatical error (it may not be) from Rotton Boroughs. City chief's first day in the office The new chief executive of Derby city council began work yesterday. Adam Wilkinson, 45, replaces Roy Cowlishaw, who retired in June. His salary will be ?160,000 a year. Mr Wilkinson said: "I'm looking forward to earning more about Derby." Derby Telegraph.

"Back on topic. I used to be a regular reader of Private Eye but it seems to have slipped off my radar of late." Why's that then Jah? I'd have thought that in your line of work you'd keep an interest.

Oh behave yourself Sean. I couldn't care less if Mockney hijacks my thread. I've done it to him and countless others in the past.

For christ sake!!

Thank you.

Oi you lot. This thread isn't a place to help out Mockney with his bloody crossword.

You should walk in my shoes for a day B. They always pick on me for bad punctuation.

"Not long before "Admin's new friend" BBW will be telling us to keep on topic." Don't be soft! "A changed man." Stay on f_cking topic.

Never been a great fan. Dad supports Notts Forest and my youngest brother is a die hard Spurs fan. I'd have to wait until dad had finished watching Grandstand until I could watch Tom and Jerry and I got sick of him screaming at the T.V and being moody if Forest lost. The worst was when they got knocked out of the F.A cup final by Spurs in 91 and dad tore the kitchen apart whilst me and my brothers cried at the bottom of the garden with mum cuddling us. He got told off by my Grandfather which was an epic tongue lashing which we listened in on from upstairs.

Yes alright Quid's, well spotted. I know I've still got a tiny bit to learn but so have you. You'd never catch me using an emoticon though and I'm sure the boys and girls of The Eye frown on them as well.

My uncles told me it was at it's peak for them during the height of Spitting Image. I can see where they're coming from. As Mockney once stated, The Eye should be required reading by all education authorities. It would eradicate text-speak and encourage literary prowess across the nation. Classroom pisstaking would also be far more inspiring and erudite.

Seeing as I've been causing just a tiny bit of discontent in the Irish quarter by branding them as: Bogmen. Tinkers. Micks. Thicko. Spudmuncher. Itinerants Cowboys. Etc... I just thought it would be fair if any of the tin...er, Irish would like to share some of their slurs that they use to describe their former colonial masters. All contributions will be treated as light hearted and me and the administrators will be working in a joint effort to curb any unpleasantness or if we think that the thread is getting out of hand or bringing down the tone of the forum. If you're from the commonwealth then please feel free to add your contribution. U.K passport holders of English extraction are not allowed to contribute unless I say so. Please begin.

I know that Mockney and Brendan peruse this magnificent tome of venomous and funny reporting but who else does? I've been hooked on Private Eye since the invasion of Iraq and I've loved every minute of it. My favorite sections are: Hackwatch. Eye TV. HP source. Street of shame. Wikipedia whispers. Every single part of the Newspaper parodies. I'm being honest when I say that I've also learned a great deal about politics and government as well as lot of other serious issues and I genuinely believe that with all it's faults and libel cases, it's very cleverly written and gives many of the regular broadsheets a run for their money concerning The Eye's journalistic quality. It's my Saturday treat. Big spliff after breakfast and I giggle and laugh well into the afternoon. So come on fellow rubbishers, who else picks up The Eye?

"Indeed and I doff my hat to BigBadWolf for his intuitive detective work." Well well well...what's this then eh. Me being thanked, surely not. However... I can't take credit for sniffing out Nigee as ol' Mike did a good job of slipping under my radar, hat's off to him I say. I sniffed him out when he came on here as HonaloochieA. I personally don't see what the big deal is. I think it's great sport for Micky the thicky to see if he can pass himself off as a genuine poster, a bit like playing 'Where's Wally', but with a genuine wally. "However I believe my response is more appropriate than BBW's "F_ck off Mikecg. You doss c_nt." Come now admin, I bet you've been tempted to call me far worse in the past. Since I did such a thankless and sterling task of chasing Mike off in the "shirtlifter in a lift" thread, I think I should have my ban lifted on posting threads in the lounge.

"BBW - I can assue you that I have never had any domestic staff." You disappoint me Sean, you disappoint me deeply. I thought that as a moderator you'd be relying on the enforced services of an enslaved typist to convey your authoritarian addresses in your capacity as a helper elf to the administrator.
