You just don't get it do you.


Here is an example of an acceptable apology.


(I?m sorry slipped up there I apologise for directing that at you.)

A simple one liner just 12 words.


I?m not using this forum or thread for anything other that airing my views and opinions.

Often I don?t expect many to agree with me even so just like any other member of this forum I don?t expect to be directly insulted for my views.


I attempt to add a little humour but never at the expense of other members.


Why would I lower myself to belittling another member when I can just say what I think about the subject, there?s nothing to be gained from the taunting or ridicule of members of the forum as there are far better buffoons and incompetents who like McClown have (in spite of themselves) appeared in the limelight and make such excellent fodder.

This is a forum....

Your school days are obviously still alive in you.

No shit Sherlock I don't think that you insulting me and joining the trolling crew would have left anyone in any doubt that you're a McClown groupie of the same mindset and manner.

I?m fairly certain you won?t take that as an insult but I apologise if you do.

Is this online. Lord of the flies. ?

Ironically, those you accuse of trolling are requesting civility.

So quite the opposite in fact.


PGC has been here from day 1, or about 12 at any rate, and is an honourable soul who has been a constructive influence, you would do well to follow her lead.


I'm all upstart so feel free to ignore my advice and piss in the proverbial wind, I won't be offended, but all I ask is to avoid quickness to offence yourself.

Some of the names are very familiar.

I think Sue, that when Fazer called Kevin McCloud "a mincing gay" and suggested that because he's a mincing gay he hates women (like all mincing gays, we can only assume), and we suggested that was nonsensical and homophobic, we are somehow trolling. Rather than picking someone up on an appalling and bigoted world view.


I can't work out if this is an elaborate trolling exercise in and of itself, or just the rantings of someone without the faintest trace of self-awareness.



Edited because I can't spell, innit.

There you go again! Writing rubbish.


I said

?I avoid everything he?s in because he?s a mincing @#$%& who makes the whole process appear to be even more difficult and awkward that it needs to be. ?


I didn?t say "mincing gay" it was mincing @#$%&.

Even having been married twice with lots of kids he could still be described as a mincing @#$%&.


Plenty of straight men mince, just like McClown.


So he?s a mincing straight man, who has little time for women.

There you go again! Writing rubbish.


...

Ahem...:


Even calling McCloud a mincing Gay because that?s how he comes across it's a commonly held impression of other viewers. ?See online comments?.


Gays call each other Miserable Mincing Gays.



That last bit's my favourite.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
