The (hidden) rules of FoF

Brilliant stuff Mr. Sippwell! Excellent post.  :011:

[CorkCity]

isn't this turning into a private clique?

What do you mean "turning into a private clique" It's always been like that !

[Ron Sheepskin]

Fantastic stuff Mr Sipwell. And I mean fantastic in it's 'proper' dictionary sense ie, from the realms of fantasy. Belgians are always right, indeed!! If it were the case, then all of those Poirot books would have been shorter  :dft012:

Seriously, quality post.  :clap_hands: :clap_hands:

I am a private clique of one and have some fantastic discussions with myself, and the social side is great too - you should have seen me at the last Xmas party I threw for myself.

Nice post Mr Sipwell sir, you are in danger of becoming the most famous Belgian ever, after...erm...hmmm...wotshisname  :dft011:

Absolutely brilliant, Sipwell. Love it.    082.gif

Surely a forum overview without mention of the Blingo/Lighthouse axis of good and evil must be incomplete in its mission to educate  :49:

I rest my case, your Honour.

- Never forget that American posters might have guns at home, since they are legally allowed to bear arms. It is perhaps not the best way to settle an argument but it is in any case a way to settle one. Fortunately none of the American posters are vile by nature nor are they easily inclined to reach for their gun. The best way however to avoid a stand-off is to simply let them be and treat them like you would treat your fellow countryman: a slight dose of sarcasm and/or irony in your communication, a friendly yet unemotionally executed tap on the shoulder from time to time and a continuous readiness to drink too high doses of alcohol in what is known as a pub and which commonly has to word "arms" in its name.
Americans should hence be treated with respect rather than disdain (The English lost the war of independence, get over it). The only rightful claim you can make is that they drop the use of the word "soccer". It doesn't mean anything and it doesn't sound right: if you pronounce 'soccer', the immediate image most people have is that of a drag race of high-heeled and long stockings wearing 40+ men.

Guilty. It's just that everyone thinks you're a major-type a**hole over here if you call it 'football'. I even tried 'association football' for a while, before giving up on it.  :56:

Well done Ron!! Can I borrow your defib machine?? I am in A. Fib, at not getting a Sipwell "mench"  086.gif

Dr Sippy (FOF's version of the "muscles from Brussels" ), you should consider a career change. You should either become a moderator on FOF, or become the Belgian Prime Minister. Amusing post lol.

Nice one, Sipwell. I rather like the concept of Belgians running the world. It's akin to the Hell's Angels being led by Julian Clary.

Quite brilliant Sir! So easy to picture.

Quite brilliant Sir! So easy to picture.

And closer to the truth than is comfortable!

I am now back in Blighty and looking forward to seeing Eddie Lowe and Arthur Stevens play on the 30th, along with that young Mr Haynes, oops there I said it and I did'nt need a what did you call it? a defab, I never lived in one of them. Nice one Mr S

I've just finished my bowl of lentils (ooops sausages) and never seen such drivel on here  :015:
