I have a stereotypical view of them as lads in their teens and early twenties with no other commitments than meeting their mates on a weekend and watching their football. No wives, families or mortgages to consider. It's those things, after all, that allow people as they get older to put football and all that goes with it into perspective.

And, in the light of that, you shouldn't have to devalue or downplay your own commitment to football just to appease the super-supporters round here. You are a real fan, pure and simple; please don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. You care enough to spend time on here debating the game and the team you love, after all. Enough said.

This was in response to a post 1MickCollins, itself a valid attack on the "I'm a real fan , you're not" attitude wrongly taken by some on this forum.

Never mind the continual wealth- and empire-building the Church engages in at the expense of feeding the poor and fighting for social justice. I could go on.

On a human level, I too wish him all the best for a speedy recovery. But don't go talking of "brilliant service". He's managed to keep the Catholic Church in the Dark Ages and in doing so deny God's compassion to millions. "The greatest priest of all". Indeed.

PP made his point very well, without being offensive. Great post

In desperation I used my sisters mascara in order to get the moustache the same colour as the beard, and set off down the pub. I was halfway through the first pint when the words "Waterproof" entered my head, just as I realised that everyone was laughing at my moustache, which was now melting. I went home an shaved the b*stard thing off there and then, returning later in the evening with plasters all over my face.

My vote for honesty and humour!

My vote goes to this epic from TroyMcClure also in Liams love life thread.

(Before this I had scored a friend of ours, who had a thing for me although I wasnt really up for anything serious she was still interested in me after that, but this is just a side issue). 2 weekends ago was it was her (the girl I had a thing for) birthday and she introduced me to one of her friends who was pretty damn cute and also mentioned that this friend thought that I was very nice

Anyway we got on really well and swapped numbers and what have you. 3 days after I was talking to my friend and she tells me that now she likes me and wishes that she had told me this when I origionally said it to her! We had already arranged that the same group would go out the next Saturday, so in the same place would be the girl I now like, the girl that now likes me and the girl that might liked me all along, and they're all fecking friends of eachother. Bloody brilliant!

I did the only thing that I could do and got very very drunk and told the girl that I was with before that I wasnt interested in her, so thats one down and one to choose from

As far as I can see, the morel of the story is that Im a stud

Ruairi, It has confused many, since the parents are known sex addicts

Greg was gay.Peter's love of Marcia was unrequited, she being far out of his league, all the time leaving Peter unaware of jan's true feelings for him (resulting in an ugly jealously of her older and much prettier sister.
Bobby and Cindy got as close as any possible couple, playiong 'doctor' a few times, the guilt of those episodes resulted in the pairs' later drug related problems.

Anyway, the sight of Alice would put anybody off!

....by the way, I might be just the slightest bit tipsy after a day of sport in the pub
