Calling Green Willow...

what's happened Joe?

oh, he's retired. that's a shame. he introduced me to the comps forum.

Congrats to Far From Trouble. Runner up in the Premier league.

Go Green Willow!

Take no notice of the chump SDK. No one of any right mind does.

Back for the placepots comps I hope.
About time you joined in TT :D

What's wrong with this thread Tommy? Hopefully nothing serious has happened to cause gw's withdrawal.

There's nothing 'wrong' with this thread, Mitchell, other than SDK's perpetual attempts to try and show how 'clever' he is.

What a sad sack.

Ha ha, Pumpy!
My current standings of tipping a winner are about 1.5 from 20!

It's just no good if I tip something beforehand, so I don't enter the comps, for my 'available balance' sake!

Well that's just his character Tommy, harmless enough imo. Nobody more helpful if anyone has any problems with anything, and he's able to assist in the matter.

or requires advice.

That's your opinion, Mitchell.

It's also a fact Tommy.

For you, Mitchell.

Not to me.

Not *for me.

If he can help he will Tommy. Don't know what you've got against him. I've seen examples of his assistance for over 7 years.

Mitchell, you like him, I don't.

I always felt sorry fo him when I first came to the forum, and probably still do, but for a man pushing 60, he really has no 'common sense' or intelligence at all.

I, like many, just ignore him for the most part (we all know that's the best way to treat him) - but when he starts 'having a go' at a mate of mine I'll always have something to say.

*for him

It wasn't having a go fgs. It was just a gentle dig. I'd be amazed if gw took any offence at the opening post.

I think you've blown it out of all proportion Tommy.

woah woah woah!

It's Tommy Toes, forumite of the year, with his excessive use of exclamation marks still carrying on

Not me, Mitchell.
Read back.

and as for people ignoring him, 1500 posts on his FA Cup quiz thread ain't bad.

Read back on which part Tommy?

Dearie me.
Carry on the pair of you.

Had a bad day Tommy?

I'm not party to the details, but the opening post reads like someone attempting to goad someone who's felt strongly enough about something to quit.

Is that accurate?

Not really.

He might just have got fed up of the comp.

How would you interpret it then?

Not in particular, Mitchell.

Have you?

I just say it like it is, when needs must.

No, you say it like you think it is, nothing wrong with Joe, he's a good egg.

You'd never hear him making light of the recent earthquake disaster as your mate did.

How would you interpret it then?

aye precisely mitchell, get it right up ye tommy toes, some "mates" you have

I can't interpret it, as I didn't see gw's withdrawal post. But at a guess I'd say he's just got fed up. Hopefully that's correct.

Again, that's your opinion, Mitchell - and yours, pf (note the lower case).

That wasn't the question. How would you interpret the opening post. You've told me I'm wrong, please explain. If after you'd got banned Cannyman I'd posted here how sorry I was that you'd your arse kicked so badly, wuld you not have assumed I was indulging in some spectacularly childish behaviour?

sorry rephrase that, it doesn't read correctly.

I noticed the lower case............disaster!

What bit is giving you difficulty?

gw retires from the horse racing competition.

Joe makes a gentle jibe.

End of story.

No harm done, and yet people get upset.

Sometimes, Mitchell, you're as thick as SDK.

dozens of people have retired from the comps competition.

Doesn't mean to say their their family have been wiped out in an earthquake.

Good lord!

For what the fourth time?

How would you interpret the opening post?

If you've no alternative explanation, please accept the obvious one - it's a pathetic childish attempt to bait someone who's had enough.

Please explain in full Tommy, instead of just making snide remarks and comments that can't be fully understood.

If gw has had a major problem or sad event, why not just say say so instead of skirting round the edges. It would have saved a lot of ill feeling if that's the case.

sparkmaster, I don't know what the feck you're on about. Anyway I've no respect for you after your despicable comments the other week.

True, Tommy Toes does indeed make snide remarks, and comments which aren't understood

but hell! he's forumite of the year! chit-chat beggars belief sometimes

You really have no idea of the 'previous', do you, Mitchell?

It's best left now, for everyone's sake.

I'll just leave his for 'my marra':

I don't keep a notebook on everything that goes on here Tommy.

I sincerely hope nothing serious has happened to cause gw's withdrawal.

I've never understood this commotion over a tree?

what tree? lol

I guess there's no point asking a fifth time! Nasty stuff, best ignored from now on.

a willow that appears to be green?

oic. :-)

we may dance around the green willow, worship it etc

but lads, it's only a tree

goodnight and bless you all

am here all week barra way

Sorry, you've lost me completely.

Quick review of events which caused friction.

Joe made a harmless reference to gw's withdrawal.

I commented

Tommy had a go at Joe.

I said Joe was ok.

If Tommy knows something Joe and me don't why not spit it out early on?

For the last time: Dearie me.

There you go again.

Goodnight!

cos Tommy Toes talks like a girl, he thinks we can read his mind, with his girl-like comments

hell! he's forumite of the year, beggars belief if you ask me

A bit more meat on the very thin bone wouldn't go amiss.

am glad a girl has never told me that

said mrs canny :^0

just seen this ...
Tommy toes you are pathetic !!..its why I have little to do with you ....
you got the wrong end of the stick again as you usually do ..
why not wait for green willow ...and in the meantime go away ...

Dearie , dearie me.

That's pathetic Tommy. Say in plain English what your problem is.

I have no problem.

jj, you and pf obviuosly do.

Why is that please? Do you know something about gw that would upset him if he reads this thread that we don't? If so, why didn't you hint at it early in the thread, and then all this unpleasantness could have been avoided

Mitchell, sometimes, it's best if things are not mentioned from the past.
Do you understand that concept?

Not really, I'm still puzzled. It's a forum, not the HOC.

Anyway goodnight.

Goodnight.

To answer you query Mitchell D ,
as you know competitors (where possible) courteously withdraw on the last day of the month , before the new comp begins on the 1st of the month .This GW has done ,in his post below on Sunday 31st the Last day of the month :-
------------------
green willow 31 Jan 16:44
(Organisers name) , I'd like to pull out of the comps. Its enjoyable but I'm just not getting anywhere. Thanks to you and all the other settlers for your work. (then he inserted a smiley face here).
-------------------------------------------
So no probs with GW at all Mitchell ....Just we 3 will miss our usual banter ...
..as I said.... a sad day .......+ Posted on here in case he doesn't revisit the Comps ..as I know he looks in here ....
and like you GW introduced me to the comp and the banter there ...

and also i too send my congrats to Far From Trouble, our 4th Bantereer, on his success ... :-)

Fresh 1 - 0 EW

that's a relief Joe, not that I was really worried just because someone drops out. It really does make Tommy's comments difficult to uderstand.

I see you just missed out yet again. You'll get there. I had 5 months in the Premier league. May have still beeen there, but for a c0ck up on the final day of month 5, when my selection won, but had already been chosen.

who's fresh Ken? lol

I don't or didn't have a problem with you Tommy Toes. It's you that has a problem with me since I give a link to a picture of my arse, and because of that, you felt I wasn't worth talking to.

So, that means you have a pompous attitude.

Here's another example of you thinking you're better than me.

Tommy Toes 01 Feb 01:08
Again, that's your opinion, Mitchell - and yours, pf (note the lower case).

I hardly ever see you post on here, but when you do, it's usually some quarrel with somebody. I believe you tend to post on that pub thread talking about horse-racing. I think there's a forum for horse-racing is there not? This is chit-chat.

For someone that hardly posts on threads other than that pub one, and you're often rude, I think it beggars belief that you get the Forumite of the year award

I know, the "forumite of the year" award really should be regulated by OFCOM or something

agree thegame ;)

No answer from Tommy Toes, doesn't surprise me one iota, of course he is the type of person to back away

forumite of the year my arse

80% of chit chat is crap. Anybody who stays out of 99% of it but is on here for hours at night time must be in with a chance of being FOTY, and not many fall into that category.

I'm one of those who enjoy the chit chat pub thread, where, to be fair, you don't get any b0ll0cks posted. And those that wander 'in' there and post b0ll0ckas are generally ignore by all those already in there.

Tommy never swears on any thread he goes on, and gets in no arguments over trivial subjects, even when he's drunk.

In the nuthouse that is chit-chat, that's highly commendable.

"you can find him in da pub,bottle full of bub"

well he got in an argument about a trivial subject last night tbh BC.

What exactly was wrong with Joe's thread that caused Tommy to have a nobble?

The thing is, he stays away from almost all threads, probably 99% of them

so he is hardly regarded as a forumite?

Just a guy who is often in the background and likes to stay in his little corner in the pub thread

and his replies in arguments is often "Dearie, dearie me"

which frankly, is quite silly

LOL what a busy thread, even the hint of a ruck. I only pulled out of the comp because I don't get the paper any more. Picking winners without the Mirror is not easy and yes Joe I was eating too much dust.

Cheers all.

Have you still got that? A mate wants to see it.

troublemaker. lol

to gw

I agree with Green Willow

nice one GW ...
You could use the ATR site or the Racing Post site to carry on with your selections ..??
Mitch D, (FFT) + I will miss seeing you and your posts daily if you don't .. :0
ps:-I'd call you a tight rs , but dont need the Rampton flack incoming .. :^0
