Oi Webbo! A word of warning!

[AFF]

Watcha Webbo.

 

Just a short note to say that I was very impressed indeed with the word of warning on the link thingy to these forums [fora?] on Rob's web-site.

 

I am so impressed that i will try to snip and glue it here:

 

"People who go on this message board vary in age, sex, religion, education and common sense. It is therefore quite possible that anyone entering the message board could find other people's opinions, both vulgar and offensive. It is therefore strongly recommended that you refrain from reading the messages if you are likely to be offended, as the message board is not part of the official St Albans City website and any subsequent complaints will unfortunately fall on deaf ears. In simple terms if you don't like other people winding you up or their often diverse opinions, then please stay off the board.

Thank you. - John Gibson Chairman - St Albans City FC"

 

[Phew. That worked.]

 

Anyway Webbo. Well done, once again. Did Herts Blue help you with the drafting of the thing? I have to say that it's a bit naughty putting the Chairman's name to it but I can understand your motives.

 

I well remember the incoherent ravings from that E-mail of complaint what you received last week. Hopefully, your words of warning will put a stop to lunatics like that wasting your very valuable time.

Hi Webbo.

 

Just thinking about it, do you think that it would benefit from a full stop after the word 'offended'? Omit the word 'as' and it would give greater weight to the subsequent sentence, in my view.

 

In addition, in the final sentence, I suspect that you didn't mean that other people [singular] have diverse opinions, but rather that there is a range of diverse opinions on here from different people.

 

You may wish to tidy the thing up a little. Always pleased to assist.

[Webbo MFI]

I just did a copy and paste AFF

 

would have done the same thing if you were chairman and had asked me...

 

though the south midlands league forum is quite quiet at the mo...

Webbo, have you ever considered discussing matters with Mr G rather than just listening to what he says? Try expressing an opinion. You never know he may listen occasionally.

 

No doubt AFF will be suggesting you are a lapdog shortly.

[Webbo MFI]

 

1. I have

2. probably

[Rob_the_Saint]

I've added two commas and a full-stop. Hope that helps!

[AFF]

Hi Rob. Yes, that's a significant improvement. Well done, old chap.

 

Hi Webbo. You aren't even a lap-dog. You are a lap-dog puppet.

Fair play to Gibson. First bit of sense I've read from the man!

[Laz]

Can a lapdog have its own lapdog?

[JKiF]

 

sadly Peter

you dont know the full story...

 

adios

[AFF]

Hi Laz.

 

Yes. As we are speaking metaphorically, a lap-dog can indeed have its own lapdog. The use of the word twice in succession in a sentence would appear rather cumbersome and could result in confusion, however. It might be better to try "..a lapdog's lackey".

 

Hi JKiF.

 

Eh?

[Laz]

Why stop at two?

 

And by the way forums is the correct plural.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

That is the best thing I've ever read!

I'm going to frame it!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Shame it's too long to become my signiture, webbo can you have a word with John and ask him to do that again but in 200 letters.

[Laz]

What happened to the old signigure?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I thought my anti bully campain was more important

[GHA EFM]

Surely reverse psychology, curiousity killing the cat and so on will make people more inclined to look at what the message is referring to, rather than tell them to steer clear?

[AFF]

Hi GHA.

 

See a thread on the General Forum entitled "This Forum".

[Rob_the_Saint]

I see the 'guestbook' has disappeared now. Good job too, right bunch of weirdos on there <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[Webbo MFI]

yup - a clean up is in operation

 

no need for a guestbook and message board really??
