Planet Swans 22:10 - Mar 26 with 29619 viewsPhil_S

So then...forum aside this site has become a little bit of a walking disaster over the last year (and more) as someone pointed out the other day the site rarely gets updated with news since the last writer got fed up of the abuse of doing so..!

Anyway, the good (!) news is that I have a couple of people prepared to write and I have some time that I can devote to it again. What I dont want to happen is the site to become a regurgitation of news elsewhere although news elsewhere can of course create opinion articles.

The question though is what do you - the good readers of Planet Swans (or as seems to be the one person with endless usernames) - want to see from the site going forward?

Its a commonly used phrase however you try and wriggle. I knew what he meant, so did everybody else on here. You are not doing yourself any favours in trying to dispel the image you portray on here of being someone who is spectacularly dull.

Its just a ride.

The description of the Rocky Marciano signed print goes onto describe it as :
"GLOSSY AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO PRINT COPIED DIRECT FROM THE ORIGINAL"
So clearly saying "signed" and "autographed" in the same sentence is an act of tautology

What is a signed autograph ?
An autograph by definition is a signature (usually, but not always, on something like a jersey or a football).
An unsigned autograph is a blank piece of paper (or whatever the signature would have been on)
Oh dear ....FAIL


F*ck me, you'll be crying again when he starts calling you beastly names again.

You're not doing yourself any favours, you know that right?

You believe what you want to believe.
In this particular case, he was wrong and you were wrong, however you try to dress it up.
I wouldn't have cared if he had the wording wrong, were it not for the fact that he called me a "f****** wierdo" on this post and likened me and Brynnie to dumb and dumber on another post.
You choose to call me dull, yet you have also shown yourself to be incorrect in the use of grammar.
So if I'm dull, where does that leave you and The Res ?
More to the point why are you defending him ?
He's big enough to defend himself and no doubt will.

Let him carry on.
The Mods won't do anything about him anyway, so I may as well poke the beast with a stick, rather than leaving it in it's cage.
I appreciate your candour though

I'm not defending him, I'm responding to your post.
Just because I share a standpoint with someone else, it doesn't mean I'm posting on their behalf. In fact there has been little love lost between Res and myself over the years.
I post on my own behalf.

I am just having a bit of fun with the one who describes himself as "Box Office" and thinks he can post no wrong.
I fully accept that you are not sticking up for him, however to call me dull when I have used the correct grammar (and only pointed it out to him because he chose yet again to have a dig at me) is unfair.
