What miniscule bit that I've highlighted? The bit where you were “acting like a twat” (not being called a twat which is what you appear to be alluding to) which I would clearly not have liked. It’s a bit “clutching at straws” to try and prove a point which is clearly what you’re trying to do. The comment is like 2 percent of the actual post. Seems like you’re just arguing for arguments sake now. It’s clear that I get up you and the other “lads” noses that’s cool no issue with that but I just don’t have the time or patience to drag out these pointless arguments as I’ve had a long night and am going to bed. I’ve got a long drive in the morning so you might have to wait a long time for my next post.

I literally said that it was a post 'littered' with insults, gawa even listed them all for you. You've lost all credibility as the apparent 'nice guy' on here, who is the advocate for decency and good manners, if you can so easily give a thumbs up to such a post. I kind of hoped that you might actually call it out but you didn't, you even had the opportunity to simply pass on it altogether but at the end of the day, you just couldn't resist giving it your seal of approval, could you? You're a bona fide hypocrite.

I do hope Gawa is taking copious notes for the 2024 Oatcake Awards titles.
Most pious poster.
Biggest pedant.
Best conspiracy theory.
Biggest twat (actual).
Biggest twat (acting like).
Just some suggestions for your consideration Judith.

Ideed, I often 'like' posts for their shock or humour factor, not because of what they're actually about. Mick already highlighted that you haven't got the balls to take Wannabe to task as he's one of your comrades. Even after multiple opportunities to do so you still don't criticise him for some reason. You just pick on Cobs as the easy target, like certain other cowardly posters always do and are obsessed with. (Pressers and wannabe). Trying to smear Cobs now with what you yourself have just been accused and shown up as is nothing other than a deflection tactic.

Mick already showed that you haven't got the balls to take Wannabe to task as he's one of your comrades. Trying to smear Cobs now with what you've been shown up as is pathetic and shameful. I wouldn't ever like a post, if there were elements of it I disagreed with, especially if they completely went against one of the main tenets that I seemingly prided myself on. Mick was talking nonsense, I can't be expected to read every post on the board in order to not have my own posts devalued, it was an utterly ludicrous assertion to make and anybody in their right mind would understand that. What is pathetic and shameful, is suggesting that I somehow have 'comrades' on here, after all the years that you've seen me post on here, you genuinely believe that I would allow myself to be compromised in such an undignified way?
EDIT: I see that you've now edited your post, speaks volumes that does mate ... In YOUR opinion Paul, not for the rest of us.

You said that me editing a post 'speaks volumes'. What in reality happened is that I typed a reply on my phone, then accidently posted it before reviewing it and making some final edits that I felt were appropriate. I think checking and editing your posts is normal practice. What do you think 'speaks volumes' about that? Note: If i really wanted to say that a post of yours is full of shit then I'd say it no problem.

You started off by telling me I was talking a load of shit, I politely addressed that claim, no mither.
But you've now moved on to a different tact and you are now telling me that I lack integrity ... please, go to bed Fozzy, have a decent kip and if you want to stand by this claim tomorrow, then we'll deal with it then.

You're a bona fide hypocrite. I can live with being called a “hypocrite” edit (I probably am but do it better than most from the responses I get I’ve been called worse, in the end it’s one persons opinion and not the whole worlds so I’ll leave it at that as I don’t want to carry this argument on. It strikes me that this argument means more to you than to me. Ultimately if you want to read the “like” in the way you’ve interpreted it fair do’s but I probably know myself better than most and know how it was meant. If me liking the post has upset you as much as it appears to have done then I can only apologise. Failing that I’ll ban myself and do 100 lines “I must not be a hypocrite” Time to move on. edit. I don’t generally read Fel’s posts before liking them. I don’t need to. As the wisest poster on the Oatie it’s a given that he’s always right and has the final say

Please can you explain yourself without swearing? Anyway I'm just going to take the dog for a walk. It's a bitch actually. Can I still say that? What if it is really non- binary? How far should I walk it? Does it depend on size and breed?

Post by Billy the kid on Mar 24, 2024 9:05:14 GMT
So here we have just page one of 20 of one of the many threads made about Meghan Markle. Can anyone show me similar comments made about Kate here? I can't stand her. I think she's very manipulative and has been intent on splitting Harry away from "the Royals", and it looks like he makes sure she gets what she wants. I don't think he dare say no. I can't see it ending well. she comes across as a bit of a control freak to be honest She seems the type of woman that is every man's living nightmare. This is what happens when you get drawn in by appearances only. A woman who will never be happy with anything, meaning you are never able to relax and be yourself. I bet he yearns for his lost singledom... Harry’s been shafted. That woman is a fame hungry hound If they want their private quiet life that should be totally fine and their multi billion pound contract with netflix, docs on the royal family and Diana - $$$ that has nothing to do with their former titles - reflects that clear desire for privacy 😂 They are a pair of woke bozos. As I said this is only page one of one thread. Alot of these comments were made while both Harry and Meghan were senior royals. So can those who are telling us all that this thread was made because we are anti royals. Can you explain how the people making and liking these comments about royals aren't anti royals? And can you show me where comments made about Kate in this thread are much more worse? Maybe for a fair comparison we can just compare posts on page 1 to begin with as I have about 50+ pages of comments like this about an active royal across multiple threads. What is wrong with being anti royals? They don't represent me, my family or my culture.

I guess when you have the most popular guy in school most people are going to defend him from the big bad bullies Not that I give a monkeys but I think I’m targeted because i’m such a nice bloke it’s a problem that I’ve always had to cope with in life. It’s funny that me liking a post has caused more negative feedback than the post itself (probably because i never actually post anything offensive). I’ll take that as a complinent I think the biggest problem is self awareness in relation to at least how I know I’m 1 - a knobber 2 - a bit of a hypocrite but at least I can acknowledge my limitations. There’s some on here that have zero self awareness around themselves who refuse to ever acknowledge that they may be wrong occasionally. There is an answer of course you could block me and save yourself the stress of putting up with my inate ramblings and hypocrisy
