What is the point of having WUMs, we've asked ourselves often enough and while we generously tolerate them they do seem to serve no purpose around here? They start a perfectly transparent wind up about England's number 1 striker in the Football Forum and then cry like a baby when rather than rising to the bait the thread is derailed in a comically surreal turn. Far from 'moderating' we feel the derailers deserve a generous round of applause for finding a fantastic way of pricking the egos of the WUMs and saving us a job, long may it continue.

The irony of the thread, which has escaped the moron who started it, is that they've done to him exactly what he hoped to do to them, there is no music quite so sweet as the low keening whine of a wound up wind up merchant. But that's beside the point. Mods should not need to be called upon to resort to banning/silencing members when the general populace of the forum can see how poor and transparent the WUMs are, if they can be riled and ridiculed within their own threads then the Mods can relax and enjoy the forum they voluntarilly assist on or get on with the fun things in life like changing user titles (as amusing as it is).

If those who choose to reside on the forum solely to wind up others cannot take the taste of their own medicine then that just confirms what shallow characters they really are and may encourage them to seek a life elsewhere. And that of course is what we want.
 
Chinese with tangerines are a dangerous combination around this time of year. Local raids in HK brought in 1000s of tangerine plants and a number of lead pipes from triad gangs who had been visiting small business and generously selling them lucky Chinese New Year tangerine at a special price of 8 times market rate.

I'd watch your knee caps if I were you Plech.

:lol: Actually you've got to read it side by side with Re deus' pompous opening whine. I wouldn't say I take the Modding seriously at all, I do get pissed off when people start telling us we're not doing our jobs though as all of us have real jobs and do this at the behest of Niall on a voluntary basis.

Why was that thread deleted, anyway?

It should have remained to serve as an example of how to deal with Redeus!

My nationality changes according to my mood or the point I'm trying to make.

BTW I got that CD - thanks mate.
 
:lol: Damn, I thought calling you an Ozzie might have got more of a rise than that.

Sorry it took me so long to post the CD, what do you reckon to the new hitchikers stuff?
 
Nah Spin, get with the plot. They're finishing the radio series to the end of the books with the vast majority of the cast still intact. They're recording the final phase now for broadcast in March while the movie is still in planning I believe.

I was pretty impressed with the new stuff as a continuation to the old series with barely a blip. Plech attended the recording sessions of the third phase and was less impressed.

Still not a patch on Old Harry's Game though, have you listened to any of that yet Wibbs?
 
HHG the movie is almost done and dusted, will come out some point this year, martin freeman of the office the hero chap, mos def ford prefect, alan rickman Marvin
