May be a bit harsh, but everyones a critic especially of the chair's hard efforts (poor thing HAD to read the entire HAL v Huguenot bitch slap for instance) and can wax lyrical about what should be, but not a single offer on doing anything about it, and yes that's depressing.


And yes, earn it lackey!!!

I'm glad to have been working hard and have missed most of this debate - it seems to have become a bit heated.


Its become a debate between good and bad:


Moos = Good

Bigbadwolf = Bad (it does what it says on the tin and I generally find it funny)


But not all that's bad is bad for you and not all thats good is good for you either. Too much good is dull and too much bad is very bad.


Good and Bad forced together tend to find a balance where neither of them is happy - that's what has happened here - but it was entertaining.

Iaineasy, I have to say that I agree with you...actually I believe that BBW might in fact be a BBR (bigbadrhino) - he certainly appears to have the skin of one. Many people might have difficulty accepting the regular waves of criticism he seems to "take on the chin".


So, some respect from me too.>:D<. (Do excuse "ghastly emotion"...but I like them).

The current chair should stay, but get more involved, would be my opinion. An intersting point was made earlier, before BBW started being BBW, someone said they liked the Drawing Room, but found it a bit intimidating. I do think that a lot of the posts in there try so hard to sound all knowledgable, and spot on, even if hey state the exact opposite to the previous knowledgable and spot on post. This then can be off putting for someone who just wants to offer an opinion, without wanting the rest of the world to think "aren't they clever". This doesn't bother me personally of course, because I am fucking clever! :-S

... the chair ... poor thing ...


Is this a clue as to the Chair's identity?


Who would mockney refer to as "poor thing"?


Surely, someone he feels protective towards, superior to, even? A female, perhaps?


Or am I reading too much into this?

That's very funny Keef - and spot on. Everyone in the DR posts hoping everyone else will respond saying "you're spot on -that's the right answer - you're a genius"


But that never happens - people just disagree, because everyone else thinks they have the perfect viewpoint.


I had one go at it and gave up.

"The Chair wishes to have HAL9000's babies."


You're not allowed to post in the lounge as the chair. Whoever you are, don't ever come in here again with that mask on.


I'm being serious as well. I'm not allowed in your drawing room so who the hell do you think you are coming in here strutting about the place when no one can identify you. P_ss off out of here!!

Good point Hal. I started it because I discovered that after the forums overhall the eye in the sky had neglected to extend my ban into the drawing/yawning room. I genuinely wanted to garner a positive response but it was also admittedly an experiment to see if I could get away with it. I then started a thread about smuggling and it was moved to the lounge and I was banned from the drawing room.


I'm not playing a sympathy card but I'm not blaming admin either. I simply can't be trusted with all the high brow debaters although f_ck knows how Quids gets away with it.

I'm sure you could control yourself if you put your mind to it.

Ha! What highbrow debaters? It's just the same old crowd that hangs around in the lounge but without the one-liners.


If the Drawing Room is to survive and flourish it needs to be a place where everyone feels comfortable and welcome.


It's supposed to be a place to discuss serious subjects not an exclusive retreat for highbrow debaters. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion on serious issues - you included.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
