You've got to appreciate.. it's not easy to strike a balance between keeping old faves like Alan happy - and trying not to offend newcomers like Jon. It's a fine line.

[Alan Dale]

You are supposed to be 'piquing those that exhibit... jealousies, grandstanding, insecurities, bravado and self-importance.'

[*Bob*]

Absolutely.

And surely a very expensive sportscar would bring about any or all of the above (on one side or another)? I can personally account for at least two of them. Pique me!

[Alan Dale]

True - you started well but you ended up being the one grandstanding. 'Welcome to the world of cyber-chat let me tell you how it works...'

Not as bad the other day 'ooh I like chips... yeah I love chips too.. chips chips chips...'.

[Brendan]

Or. "'ooh I hate poo... yeah I hate poo too.. poo poo poo...'.

[*Bob*]

Hee Hee

Oh well - at least you got a new cyber-friend out of it, Alan. I'm happy for you.

All that remains is for you to turn him against you, post by post, with one of your endless ramblings about SE5, inflation, house prices etc etc

[Alan Dale]

Don't get stroppy *Bob*. As my grandad's boyfriend alway said 'Don't dish it out if you can't take it yourself.'

[*Bob*]

ok Alan.. let's do the musical number and finish the show asap. I'm sure everybody's bored to tears by now.

[citizenED]

Morcambe and Wise, Flannagan and Allen, Newman and Baddiel.....*Bob* and Alan. Yeeeek!

Any chance you two could apply for the Radio 1 Breakfast slot when Moyles moves over?

I can't speak for Alan, but I'm not fat and irritating enough. Not yet, anyway.

[Alan Dale]

I believe that you might not be fat...

[*Bob*]

Ok.. you be fat, I'll be irritating. We'll make a mint.

[Alan Dale]

I'll be Eddie Large to your Sid Little?

No thanks - I've got Jon now remember...

[mockney piers]

The phrase 'get a hotel' is mysteriously forming in my head...

[Alan Dale]

'Get a shave' in mine...

[*Bob*]

I hear a travelodge room is very competetively priced

[Alan Dale]

I heard they cost an arm and a leg.

[jonsuissy]

Oh my god, what have I got into?

Kinda wished I'd taken my ball and run yesterday when I had the chance

[Alan Dale]

Just shut up and toss in your car keys Jon...

[lozzyloz]

My God I didn't know this forum had such vicious and unthinking contributors.

Still feel the same way?

[mockney piers]

'get a shave' LOL!! You know me too well.

WOW, I hadn't seen this thread for days, and had no idea it had gone on like this.

Okay, I said "That was my first thought too. Kids might key a car a bit, but too properly damage it you need to be really pi$$ed off with the flash git who owns it."

Now in writing that, I had no idea if the car was owned by a straight man, an 80 year old pensioner, a gay woman, or what... I was merely joining in with the scorned lover scenario, and had images of expensive suits being cut up, and yes I was being stereotypical in a light hearted way. I am sorry if I upset your sensitivities, but I wouldn't call myself a "vicious and unthinking" kind of guy.

I'm not envious of anyone who owns a Porche, because I don't drive and have no wish to... I guess I might be envious of someone who could afford a Porche, but I'm sure I could find better things to spend that money on.

I do however play the guitar, and I openly admit that I love people looking at my Gibson Les Paul, big Marshall amp and stupid pedal that does everything if you know how it works (which I don't) with envy, and proudly admit to being a flash git in that sense.

[mockney piers]

The time is long past for explanations keef, things have got waaaaaaaay out of hand since then.

Where are your car keys (porsche key ring obviously) and string-back driving gloves eh keef?

[Keef]

Er, fair point, hadn't read the rest... Can I throw a plectrum in instead?
