Ah... piddling contests!
I got a detention once for competing in one!
There were two types of contest at my primary school... the first involved how high you could wee up the wall, the other was how far back you could go
and still land in the pan!
PS - The detention was for the second one. It was fair enough though as the floor was a bit wet due to there being a few competitors (one of whom was
the headmasters son!).
Ah, fond days!
It's Evolution Baby!

But I don't know that I don't like them until I read them. Usually they start off with a fairly unassuming question by the OP which then
disappears off on a tangent and degenerates from there. I think that the earlier "melting pot" solution is actually pretty good as,
irrespective of the intial question, the current trend is for it to end up in a bit of a "discussion" based on one of only a couple of
themes.

I guess this must be a national thing then, I too was detained after school for competing in the same way - I was winning too!

So what's wrong with that. There's loads of threads here that I don't like, some I can tell just from the title, and don't
even open them. Those I do open, and don't like, or start of all right and then take a turn I don't like, I stop reading. Can't see
the problem myself.
I hate football, but don't complain if other people want to talk about it or argue about it.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list

And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

Not really, because its bollox.
You didnt like mine regarding the modified sierra, yet you felt compelled to reply.
Hypocrite! 
I agree with your second post on this thread though (second one this week i might add). Just because one person doesnt like one thread, it doesnt
mean that they expect everyone else to.

It wasn't the thread I didn't like, I made that clear at the time, it was the TITLE, which had nothing whatsoever to do with the
thread.
Hope that clears that up for you.

Not really, so I still don't see why you posted. Most of the titles don't reflect the content.
Best we leave that there, otherwise it'll turn into a pissing contest again, and you'll accuse me of attention seeking.

Richard.

Happy to leave it there, as long as before that I can say that actually nearly all the titles DO reflect the content of the threads.
I can well understand why people are tempted to put something interesting in the title of their thread, to try to make it sound exciting or
interesting, or mysterious even, it seems entirely reasonable to them at the time that they are doing it. But the problem is that if the title
doesn't reflect the content (and I am sure you will admit that the one that I complained about didn't  ) then we could end up in a
situation where the threads didn't have any title at all, or one chosen at random, or even alphabetically, like they name hurricances etc, or
where everybody competes with each other to post more and more obscure titles.

But that's threads I don't like. I ignore them. Usually I do that with 'teaser titles'. There's quite a few on
this forum, and usually I ignore them. In a way you should be pleased that I decided open your "have we been barking up etc" thread
because I guess that's what you wanted people to do. But the reason I opened it was that I thought it might be something serious or important,
and when I found it wasn't I was annoyed at myself for breaking my own rule, and you for wasting my time. Maybe I could have been nicer about
it... but then maybe you could have put something like V8 Sierra in the title, so I guess we are even on that.

The series of videos showed more than just a V8 sierra.
There were lots of people that commented on the videos within the thread, so i still don't see why you had to reply if you didnt like it. If
you were annoyed at the waste of time, then you really need to find another pastime.
Anyway, i think its hilariously ironic that you say "Im happy to leave it there" then go on to leave five or six lines of pointless text,
and also that you still choose to be argumentative in a thread named "Pi**ing Matches / Arguments".
You shall be known from here on in (By me anyway) as "Yeah But...".
Have a nice Evening.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

right enough!
strangely can't find any reference to the 'customer service' thread, which had nothing much to do with anything but slagging. think
its been deleted completely, which was the best thing for it

Quite honestly, i dont really care. Everyone can see who the trouble maker is.
Take a look at your list of contributions when you search your name, and nearly every single post is a negative, inflammatory or offensive.
Anyway, youre boring me now.
