I was provoked

I do admit to being uncouth yet it was under provocation from yerman smb.I do not think i am an angel but if i am letting myself down then so are you with your inability to see that it takes 2 to tango.

it takes 2 to tango.

But my dear boy - how charming - you want to dance - and we were all so sure that you had come in here looking for a fight! Well it shows how deceptive appearances can be, although I must admit it did throw me somewhat when you came in and started being abusive with everyone. But standards have slipped at dances these days - so no harm done. Can you do a quickstep? - out the door? :-)

quickstep no. But my greased lightening is something to behold!

As I pointed out on another thread, You and SMB are as bad as each other.

I'm still happy to have you....a little bit of colourful language isn't as bad as some of the mary whitehouses would have you believe...

It isn't the colourful language that's the problem for me, it's the lack, very often, of other significant content - this 'nah nah na nah nah' stuff bores me shitless. Oops, sorry, s******s. :-))

Hmmm. Colourful language is fine in it's place. It's place is certainly not on here simply to abuse other contributors.

Used sparingly it has tremendous power to amuse, shock, add stress etc. Used every other sentence it is the product of a lazy mind and it becomes tedious and offensive (although Derek and Clive might be the brilliant exception which proves the rule).

All right I'll go forth and multiply.

I agree Pit Bill. I don`t have a big problem with a bit of bad language if it is used amusingly or to emphasise a point. There are a couple of words I find really offensive, but that`s just a pet hate of mine. What I really can`t stand is foul language and abuse being hurled back and forth in a tit for tat manner...it quite often kills off an otherwise interesting discussion.

Anyway superkev, I am breaking from tradition for once, and changing the subject to football. Did you know that one of your Sunderland scouts has been keeping a very close eye on a Bournemouth FC player? (:o)

..... Sunderland scouts has been keeping a very close eye on a Bournemouth FC player

Talking of which, is anybody else having to stifle sneaky feelings of something bordering on admiration at the way monkee heed has just got on with signing players with none of the fannying around that seems to dog every attempt we make ?

I know it doesn't necessarily follow that any of them will be any good, but I'd far rather have that to worry about than the uncertainty we're facing at the moment.

Sorry Galaxy, but I take offence at your use of colourful language. Tit is not an acceptable word on here.................unless used to describe Rik ;-)

Oops! Well I`ll just wash my mouth out with soapy water!!(;o)

Will Nick Raphael and anyone else who is that bothered, please see the "Still no answer to my Mackem question" thread. Actually you can think what you like Nick but to compare me with Sewpah Kev is offensive.

Fight fire with fire is what they say! Then again ,who are they?? Who am i ? Who is SMB? The plot does thicken!! The post about a Bournemouth player is obviously a smokescreen. Put your money on Zinedine Zidane signing next week.Alternatively you could put your money on SMB and myself running away together !!! Both about 3,000,000 to 1 i believe. Still Smb and me is a love that is not meant to be,ho hum.

Been at the Maui Wowie again, Kev?

Superkev - not a smokescreen! Just a snippet of information from a pretty reliable source, ie. the horse`s mouth. I believe it is Wade Elliot that they have been watching - that doesn`t mean they will think he is good enough to sign, but I just thought you might be interested. (:o)
