The Poppy Song!

[Just-Jude]

How much more rubbish are they going to inflict on us in the name of charity?

Do people actually go out and buy this sentimental slush?

Why are we happy to sing about people getting blown to bits?

I've just remembered why I don't tend to stray into News.

@AOG

"but when a person such as myself calls for action to be taken against such a person their post is removed?

I am beginning to wonder why I continue to post on this site, it gets worse."

you and some others on here are wll aware of what appear to be intentional or otherwise double standards.

personally i couldnt care less what others on here may or may not say about me, if i get posts pulled, most of the time I dont even know if they have or havent because I hardly ever bother subscribing to posts so forget whats going on and to be honest it really doesnt bother me and I certainly wouldnt let a place like this get to me.

i'm sure some on here would be more than happy if people like you or myself didnt come on here, then they could turn it into the " lets all take a pat on the back self congratulatory little place theyd like it to be"

you have to remember for some on here, judging by how much time they spend on here, its a big deal, they try to come over as some sort of pseudo-intellectuals, wannabe point scoring debaters....pffft

I've looked on a couple of debating sites this lot, apart from one or two would get ripped to shreds.
and the one or two arent liked because its obvious they know their stuff, trouble is their views dont fall into line with the right on pinkos this place attracts.

As said earlier Nil Illegitimi Carborundum , its only a web site, not worth getting stressed over

This site is beyond tame compared to most forums that I visit.

aog and bazzer

What's the point of a Coconut Shy with no coconuts?

Another great post baz. I think AOG is a very brave man, nobody ever seems to be on his side, but he battles on regardless.

\\\\\I think AOG is a very brave man, nobody ever seems to be on his side, but he battles on regardless.\\\\

I think that when "push comes to shove" you will find that AOG has more supporters than you would think.

[viv38]

Where are they then ?

[Sqad]

viv 38.....just because they are not "front-line" continual posters, it doesn't mean that they do not read the posts.
There have been many threads in the past where AOG has come under attack and then, his supporters rally.

Anyway AOG can look after himself.

Whilst i am on the subject, the really "popular" posters have their antagonists too.........life is like that.

[viv38]

I know he can look after himself sqad, but I still think he's very brave - just my opinion !

[Sqad]

viv.....I agree.

[viv38]

Oh and I am one of his supporters .....

[Sqad]

so am I...

[bazwillrun]

"Anyway AOG can look after himself. "

oh yes, and more often than not leaves a trail of fuming posters really hacked off that they cant get the better of him.

to a fair few on this site people like AOG are a constant thorn in their side not because he may or may not put up a good fight , but because he wont kow tow to their views and take on things...thats what they really hate, people that dont agree with them and those they cant force their ideology on.

and the most hilarious part of all theyre the ones that also love to call others facist etc whenever possible ! priceless.... as always

@Viv

"Another great post baz."

another one !? blimey i'm on a roll !

thanks, but dont think youlll find many if any here that would agree with you !

[viv38]

I practically always agree with your posts baz and often say so on threads. I generally go for the minority (ha ha)! But I know like AOG, you too can hold your own .....

Anyway I'm off now, been on here too long today, but OH has been home looking after baby and dog (lucky me).

[B00]

Anyhoo....

Now we've established who is and isn't in the AOG fan club, can we get back to the original topic please?

[anneasquith]

no disrespect to these young. girls, but have you noticed how pretty they are ?

[EcclesCake]

No Anne, I hadn't and having checked back I still haven't.

Yes
it's a pity there's no Top of the Pops for them to appear on

A TV show with fun parties afterwards

(Yippee, back to the OP!)

I lasted about 23 seconds before I switched it off.

On a purely musical basis, it's not for me.

I'd happily (and do) give to the Poppy appeal each year, just don't need the overdose of saccharin to make me donate.
