    I see no need to not slap a ban on you for acting like a dick. Now pipe down with that sort of sh*te, or take it elsewhere please.

    ADMISSION???! Finally, it only took you 18 f*cking months! I remember you nearly using a solicitor to defend that haircut. :D

    Mind you, my goatee wearing phase wasn't much better.

    Can I just ask exactly what counts as Off Topic Banter these days? I'm not trying to cause trouble but I'm not too sure anymore. What I've posted earlier is what I would construe as light hearted banter, which is actively encouraged in the new rules? How is it any more or less acceptable than, say, pages of banter between drunken posters as have been posted earlier in the thread? If this is the wrong place to ask I can start a thread in Helpdesk as I'm genuinely confused, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd appreciate some guidance here.:confused:

    I'm no fan of emo myself, but i respect and appreciate the fact that others are. I don't know anyone elses music taste. So i won't go ahead and impose my opinion passing it off as what i think is right. Something you clearly did a few posts back. Light hearted banter is one thing, being intolerant and prejudicial is another story altogether.

    If you can't see what was wrong with your post, then something is clearly not right.

    Mind you... I would, so i take back all i said before. :D

    It's a Saturday Night! There's a reason there's nothing decent on TV, just like daytime television is put on to encourage kids to go to school, Weekend is there to drive the punters to drink, and hit the nearest pub. In fact, i'm convinced certain stations are funded by publicans.

    I was merely expressing an opinion however and you yourself are no stranger to forcefully expressed opinions. (And the smilie I placed after my quote would surely place it in the category of light hearted banter in any event, no?) You own opinions and dismissal of the GAA would be one example, which you have expressed on several occasions in OTB. The point being that if we are to take this to the nth degree then opinions would have to be banned in this thread altogether as every opinion could be construed as being offensive by someone in some way shape or form. I note the uncensored use of inflammatory terms like "scumbag" in this thread already for example.

    Again I'm not trying to cause trouble or wind you up, I'm simply seeking consistency and balance and will happily take this to Helpdesk if deemed more appropriate.

    Then maybe get your facts straight before insinuating someone is a kiddy fiddler. :P
    Consider yourself on your final warning, your last ban was one month, you next one is three months

    Oddly enough, you only highlight my opinions of anti GAA, when there were others too. People asked me why I didn't like, i told them. Plain and simple. Plus it was the spoken subject at the time. You on the other hand, started a subject, and immediately blasted a genre of music fans that you didn't even know existed until that very moment. My comments slated a sport, yours slated a bunch of music fans, some of which post here.

    Feel free to either take this via PM to me, or to helpdesk if you feel the need to do so.

    No, you're not trying to wind me up at all.
    PM or Helpdesk from this point on please. Because at the rate this is snowballing, we're looking in the general direction of another OTB thread lock.

    Jeans aren't too bad, 42 fits me most anywhere I've tried, though I had assumed size=inches, but not the case apparently.
    Shorts and tracksuit bottoms are impossible to get, though not because of my belly.
