From time to time (rarely) I've had a look at the forum over the past few months, only to find how much it's been taken over by keyboard fascists.
In so many threads a massive moan about some 'foreigner' or 'immigrant' doing something awful - in some cases they have, to be fair.
However.... Even when they haven't, they have.
And..... Just about every thread has one of the regular twunts berating the "lefties" for arguing or setting up opposition to whatever terrible deed has been done, when no-one has ever argued or berated, such is the desperation to cause grief on here.
Why it is supposed "lefties" support some of the world's horrors when they actually don't and never have, I'm not certain. Perhaps it helps most of those who remain on here pat each other on their indignant backs whilst feeling better about themselves.
Then, there's the perpetual moaning about the BBC whenever they (the BBC) say something they (the twunts) don't want to hear.
The BBC is and always has been a right-wing organisation that leans towards the whim of any current government largely in order to protect the licence fee. It is staffed (particularly it's political department) by mostly ex Tory activists and party workers and the occasional Bullingdon boy, as well as the people at the head of the organisation being friends with some high-ranking government ministers.
In the mid 1960's a half-arsed "study" which was not properly attended (deliberately) falsely reported a left-wing bias. This proven lie has stuck and coupled with the BBC's use of the most diverse and 'Politically Correct' methods, which have ZERO to do with political leanings but are perceived as 'leftist', thus giving so many of the current users of this place something on which to hang their vitriol.
In short, you twunts have spoiled the forum. It's as if it's sponsored by the Daily Mail. Loads of people don't use it any more, a majority of your rants are unfounded supposition-riddled Bullplop and it's a big shame.
Personally, I think you could take it to the politics forum and maybe nice people, fun, games, competitions, advice, interesting and silly stuff could return to chit-chat.
Until it does, like so many others, I won't be a frequent visitor.
I feel better for that, now feel free to slate me.

Exactly, Studyform 
Welcome back, possibly?
How I miss the old chit chat. Do wah, studyform, bodil, et, his royal highness the lager khan, mr winkle etc etc.
Maybe some of them got banned. Maybe betfair might realise that they had a unique forum and then ruined it by banning so many characters.
Now I look at it whilst playing poker and there is nothing to reply to, even if I wanted to chance not having crags or similar abuse me.
Even threads remembering 'the ducks' evoke fond memories, even though when i first read the 'ducks' thread I was shocked at the outrageous sexual replies. I learnt a lot about men from that thread! And at my age I thought I knew men
Hope you will post more often, STUDYFORM

Betfair spoiled the forum, inflicting us with a faulty slow pile of cheap piss. The thing is on borrowed time anyway so we won't need to worry about what is posted.
I don't agree with people playing the abused card either, crags, but until I posted on this forum I hadn't been abused by men in my life. Then I was and I saw how upsetting it can be. It is not like in real life when if someone is nasty to you and tells lies about you you just don't speak or see them again. On here it is not possible. Anyone can post anything they want, including lies about you, I am thinking of you crags.
I think decent people on here know what I have had to put up with from you and others. A load of men on here are bitter about women and take it out on me. But since I have made it clear that I will report abuse, after several warnings, it has got better - except for you.
I still haven't phoned betfair about you, but believe me I will if you persist.

Just answer the simple questions that I've asked you many times which you keep swerving!
on second thoughts, don't bother.. I'm bored with it and you

So what are you doing lately, studyform?
It would be nice if chit chatters just told us about their lives, but maybe that is because I am a woman?

OP post was too long....haven't read it....I have saved myself 3 mins.....yeeeehaaaaa ! 
myself and terry mccann have long admired annies chest,sometimes through a telescope
other times through night sighted army binoculars in the garden of her studio apartment in brighton as she made love to tommy toes

Well said, Studyform.
Have never understood the misplaced way the term 'leftie' is thrown around on here.

I loved the bit about tommy toes, my arch enemy lol. No, I just feel sorry for him he has missed out by not having a nice woman in his life. But I understand why men get bitter about women.

Is it just my imagination or are you really actually conversing on chit chat these days?
I am so used to a short humerous quip from you late at night, maybe p1$$ed, but lately you seem to string sentences together quite intelligently, what has happened?

Again a proper sentence, albeit mentioning thai brides again.
The proper sentence with spelling and grammar seems to suggest someone taking the michael. I took the talk of thai brides with a pinch of salt, but now you seem to have become a butterfly.

you need a special kind of talent and dishonesty to come out with that sort of nonsense.
Why don't you just post what you want Studyform....and ignore all political bias
I would say I am left wing because I am poor so have no choice, in fact I would say I am communist
because I would like all the money taken off the rich and given to the poor....starting with me
I am also accused of being a Muslim.
So I would just post what you want Studyform and be damned with politics!

There is not a lot of point for the politics forum because nobody changes their politics.
It is just right wing slagging off left wing or vice versa.
Some problems are better solved if we leave politics out.

You are on their side about their attitude to women, so you might as well be.

I understand this. I was lucky being a woman when I was younger that I was attractive, but unfortunately men can't just be attractive to have any success with women. It is sad in a way because men do not realise that no matter how ugly or old they are they can still be attractive to women, unlike women.
An acquaintance of mine had a crush on her daughter in law's FATHER who was about eighty! Her previous husband had been about forty years younger.

You see our society has changed a lot since the 1960's when I left school Annie
and it was much more a male dominated society, which I liked.
You would be amazed at the difference between to TV programs we had then and now......
Although we had some butch women Honour Blackman and Diana Rigg with their Judo and Karate stuff.
I think one problem is we are trivialising sex much too much in our society now. It is not quite the jolly fun we think it is,
it is too important for that.
People get seriously hurt, their lives completely destroyed, I have known some kill themselves.
It is sad in a way because men do not realise that no matter how ugly or old they are they can still be attractive to women, unlike women.
that is what I am counting on...but no luck
Thank you for your compliment Annie and you seem a nice person yourself
In the game or love or sex, however one sees it, the most genuine always to get hurt while the biggest rats always seem to get the best
of it. That is another problem with the game

You have hit the nail on the head, ebulGery. The way to treat women is 'treat them mean, keep them keen'
Obviously there is more to it than that, but men are sexier if they are harder to get. Women get hit on all the time so someone who is just friendly can pique their curiosity. Maybe treat women like their sister or mother and then let them do the running.

Surely the 'being a woman' part is not necessary?
A woman would just post.. "I understand this. I was lucky when I was younger that I was attractive, but unfortunately men can't just be attractive to have any success with women. It is sad in a way because men do not realise that no matter how ugly or old they are they can still be attractive to women, unlike women."

No need to get nasty just because I've caught you out, yet again
a woman would have spotted the misogynistic comment
I was only 95% sure before, but now 99% sure... still giving you that 1% chance though (D)annie

I will think of that Annie. The trouble with me is the only way women can reach me is by treating me badly. Unfortunately that is too much for me
and in the end it destroyed me.
I don't understand what crags an david fishwick are saying, I suppose I have never understood women either.

I will say it again, only for the sake of decent men like ebulGery, capt F, bito, studyform, akabula, et, etc, because I am sick and tired of crags etc winding me up, again.
BETFAIR POSTED ON THE POKER FORUM THAT I WAS A FEMALE AND TOLD POSTERS TO STOP HARASSING ME, it hasn't worked has it
I suppose I had better get onto them again.

That is actually quite hard Annie. If we feel strongly for some one it can actually hurt. So in the end we either have to win them or go away from them completely. Being just a friend is hard.
I find crags is get quite boring over it Annie. Boring is the worst sin of all. g night.
in defence of crags, it seems some people are just too precious (even those which signed up using the identity of a female acquaintance/kin)

I have to say, Studyform, knowing what little I do about you, I am absolutely astonished by your original posting, to the extent that I wonder whether your account has been hacked. In all my years on here I have never been more astonished. And that includes all the abuse I have received over the years regarding the Holy Grail and my political views. I am absolutely staggered, and that really does take some doing!
You're close slicer. His account wasnt hacked though. He merely copied one of my posts.
WB Stud.
WB Stud.
Thanks for the info. It just didn't sound like him. But of course, on here one never knows!
It is I, sorry to disappoint, Slicer. I'm not sure how you only know a little about me, over the years I've told loads and my thoughts about the escapees from the politics forum aren't new either.
Sod off, Mikael, you know you only copied me in the 1st place.
ebul, This forum used to be a place were people just posted what they wanted. True, there was the occasional barney, but the community was huge and the community spirit huger!
There was always something to laugh at too. Now, whether it's just the result of a tough society or the hijacking of nearly every subject on here most of the humour is somewhat dissipated.
Annie - Following my giving up the betting shop, my new life couldn't comprise more different (or much harder) work, I'm still a bit under the cosh financially (Ces't la vie). I might divulge its nature one day, when I'm feeling better about the forum.
Fishy - Do you know what? I can't find those socks
Pumph - Evenin' to you too. Hope you're well.
Crags and Ozymandius - Approval from where I'd least expect it, I'm as stunned as Slicer!!!!
Maybe a gradual return to posting, if I can avoid getting too wound up by it, is possible. Try and instigate some jollity instead of venting, eh?
I might even run a competition or 2 again in the future. For those who like that sort of thing - I didn't bother with the Euros or the Golf which I had intended to do.

i wish we could go back to the 80's but it ain't gonna happen, so all we can
do is aim our frustration that nothings being done at places like this unfortunately!
in the early 2000's Britain was still a nice place (just), Tony Blair was just f**king
the country up at that time - how that man sleeps at night i will never know.
i've been on here since 05 too.

Yo Muntz, I hope you're well.
Witham, I popped in to your workplace again last week when meeting my son, but there was a "no-one about" sign instead of activity. I'll catch you eventually.
Capt_F. Nobody wanted it. There are hardly any left now. In fact I spoke to another indy a few weeks back, bloke been in the game 40+ years, he said he's only keeping going so he can be the last man standing.
I had a few Chinese customers as it happens, but I'm pretty sure they only bought bean sprouts from the peasant farmers.
Neither they nor I owned the building.
