 | | jessicafischerqueen: Congratulations!
Your forum is now voted BEST FORUM BY A KIBBUTZER by the tribunal. I *have* read your forum.
In fact, I've read it often enough to notice when you slip in subtle TOP SECRET revisions too. I still recall the day when you pulled "Pint of Plain" and replaced it with the ill-received, and subsequently deleted, quote by <Roger Mellie's> manager: -Does the phrase "Margaret Twatting Thatcher" ring a bell? |

Here is a documentary about the original "chessboard killer": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON3... |

| Jan-15-14 | | MarkFinan: It's the historians here amongst us that RK seems to have upset most. Anyway, if he'd done everything he's been accused of then I'm sure there would have been some kind of prosecution, be it in a criminal or civil court. I don't think he's a bad guy and the people that do have led sheltered lives.. <Domdaniel: <Ohio> As you've probably noticed, it's not just the likely winner ... at least two of those in runner-up positions aren't funny either.
There, I said it.> Once again, I have to agree with you. I've *never* seen nothing funny from those people. I wandered if it could be a British thing. Our sense of humour is a lot different to Americans. We're drier, more spontaneous and therefore funnier, because I believe the best humour is that fast, dry, sarcastic wit. It's not about telling "jokes", it's about being clever and smart with your answers and questions. I just don't see how people telling the same "joke" over and over ad nauseum is funny! |

 | | Domdaniel: <Mark> You could be right. I remember saying to one of our colonial cousins that his failure to understand you was down to the transatlantic humour/humor divide. Then again, <Ohio> agrees with us. And last I heard, Ohio was in the USA. |

 | | Annie K.: <Dom> congrats on antirank thingy! :) <Ohio> what you were told last year is what I meant. Now if that was an award for Most Cynically Manipulative Kibitzer, then he'd certainly have deserved it all along. The average train wreck is funnier, though. |
|

| | Domdaniel: <Annie> 'antirank' is great, thanx ... if I only knew what it means... |
|
Jan-15-14
| | Annie K.: Well, I heard you were best profile? Possibly you like them both, though. :) |
|
Jan-15-14
 | | OhioChessFan: @Annie......hmmmmmmmmmm. What I was told last year in email was not by you. Did you say something similar? |
|
Jan-15-14
| | Annie K.: I said it was residual Pavlovian training. Refers to the same thing. |
|
Jan-15-14
| | OhioChessFan: Oh my. I just realized......it was those book jokes that got the runner up all those votes?! Annie, got ya. Your Pavlovian Cat thing went over my head. |
|
Jan-15-14
| | Domdaniel: Pavlovian Cats? Aaaargh! |
|
Jan-15-14
| | Annie K.: <I shall try not to burst into tears and throw my shoes at Meryl Streep.> Heh, ok, what did I miss? What's the story? :) |

 | | WCC Editing Project: <OhioAudiovisualAidFan> What a concise <visual aid>, thank you. I was at sea until I saw it, and only then did I understand the preceding conversation. ON TOPIC and ON BUDGET. |
|
Jan-15-14
| | OhioChessFan: Somehow the audio visual aid reminded me of the age old question: Why do Pavlovian cats lick their bells?
Because they can. |

| Jan-16-14 | | Colonel Mortimer: Two men having a chat in their local pub..and during a brief lull in the conversation they observe the landlord's dog licking its balls. 1st Man: "I wish I could do that"
2nd Man: "Give him a stroke and I'm sure he'll let you.." |

| Jan-16-14 | | MarkFinan: <<Domdaniel: <CG> The nasty crap in the <trulips> profile doesn't seem to have gone away. The use of profiles to pursue personal vendettas is particularly offensive. Even when the 'victim' in this case was an offender in the past.>> I only just noticed this on the main forum, Dom. I thank you for the part of your post that was in defense of me, and it reminded me of something that I've wanted to speak to you about for a while now, but I don't have your email and I'm not quite sure if you want me bringing back up something I got wrong about you on a public forum... again? But the offer is there for an explanation if you want it? But you're the only person I have to give that explanation to.. Couldn't care less what anyone else thinks. I gave it to the admins here at the time, but they weren't interested in anything I had to say! So I've kept schtum until now... and ill carry on keeping quiet if you don't want me to bring up old crap, but I do think you deserve to hear an explanation and it's there if you want it? Publicly or privately, or not at all, that's your choice?? I only regret two things here, off the top of my head, that I can think of.. One, when I called Thefocus "gout ridden", which was wrong because I don't wish bad health on *anyone* especially on a website. And the other when you and I weren't getting on... to put it mildly! But I can explain how I came to think what I thought.. As far as those from the So page, well I don't really care what they say or think about me. I expect nothing less because that's all they've got! Pussies ! I shouldn't have overreacted to them in the first place, and it's not *what* they keep saying over and over, it's how they came about that information.. I feel like my privacy was invaded, to coin a phrase. It was actually a policeman who told me about my facebook settings and advised me to change them!?! Probably the nicest thing that the local constabulary have ever done for me, lol. And I was naive because I really, gods honest truth, didn't think that *anyone* would use the death of a very close loved one to provoke me! I know... how wrong I was! But that's all they've done, provoke me. I blame my naivety because I really should know better. I've met the worst of the worst when I've done a few very, very short stints in Armley, but I have to say that no matter what crime they'd done, and no matter how much I wouldn't trust them, they were all friendly, kind and helpful to me. I don't really talk about it here because it's not the place, but if I could go back (and you can ask Thefocus this because I told him the same via email a few weeks ago) I would *never* have put what I did in my <markcf> bio.. I would have called myself "Bob Smith" and said I'd never even played chess before, and left it at that! Never mentioned jail, never gave my real name, never said I'd had a drug problem, and never said I'd played chess to a decent level as a kid.. because the lovely people of chessgames dot com I.E The So lot, kkderek, AJ, and one or two others have all used that information against me at some point or another!?! Lovely, ey? And I haven't even done *that* much time, probably 6-9 months in total.. all on remand apart from one thing that I genuinely didn't do anyway! All for stupid stuff, all for what I'd call "victimless crimes". I'm really not a bad guy, and you won't find a man alive who knows me, that would tell you I was....maybe a few ex girlfriends, lol. But I'm not the person some people think I am But if they expect and want a loud mouthed "hooligan!", then I'll give them it with bells on!! It'd be bloody rude not to, 😉. End of confessions, haha. That's the only time I've thought before typing, lol. Got to lol, Dom. Got to *lol* 😄 |

| | Domdaniel: <Mark> Of course you're not a bad guy. I know that. And the people who try to use past misdemeanours against you are contemptible. They're also naïve, and don't understand the world very well. As for *our* old dispute, there's no need to rake over it. I reckon I have a good idea how it happened, and I don't much want to revisit it. But thanks for the offer. |

| | Domdaniel: <Annie> -- < <I shall try not to burst into tears and throw my shoes at Meryl Streep.>
Heh, ok, what did I miss? What's the story? :)> Um, it's a tad convoluted, but I'll try to reconstruct the thought process involved... At a recent movie awards ceremony, the very wonderful Emma Thompson arrived on stage to accept a prize, barefoot, holding her shoes in one hand and her drink in the other. She then tossed the shoes away... One commentator said "they may have hit Meryl Streep", or words to that effect. I don't know if La Streep was *actually* hit. That's the story, in a nutshell. Despite many years service as a film critic, I tend to make a point of not watching award ceremonies. But I'm told that bursting into tears is not unusual. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <Does the phrase "Margaret Twatting Thatcher" ring a bell?> Ssshhh. Do you want to get us both banned again?
We're s'posed to be responsible adults, now, yanno, responsibly committing adultery. |
|
Jan-16-14
| | Annie K.: <Dom> aha, that clarifies things. Thanks! :D <Mark> telling the truth about yourself was a great decision, actually. This is why you now don't have to be afraid of anybody finding anything out about you, you don't have to watch every word you say, lest you "let something slip"... this is real freedom. Your honesty and courage were the first things I liked about you. :) Then your sense of humor, etc. ;) |

| Jan-16-14 | | Shams: <MarkFinan> <I only regret two things here, off the top of my head, that I can think of> Good grief, that's a good *week* for me. |

| | Domdaniel: <I only regret two heads here, off the top of my thing.> Eh, did I say that? |
|
Jan-18-14
| | Annie K.: Um. *Should* you have said that? ;p |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Dom>
I knew you'd remember that one.
Am I alone in judging "Roger Mellie- the Man on the Telly" is a benchmark in Newcastle cultural history? I've never been myself, but I'd certainly like to go. |
