Oh God Almighty...

[BoyBrumby]

Hey, I've always pointlessly bickered, so everyone else is just following my lead

Anywhoo, I think I got served (literally not figuratively) by the erstwhile Dicko today.

Does he work in Tesco?

I've never spoken to a member of cricketweb before, if so.

Ah, mate. It'd so be worth the assault charge; I'd even stand your bail. Live the dream.

Seriously tho, I've blamed Dicko for a lot of the site's woes (because IMHO a lot were down to him), but we're effing things up royally in his absence.

There's a photo of him on the Ask the Spider page

Did you tip him?

Yeah, I've seen his pic around, and I thought I recognised him. Then I saw his name tag was "Richard" (not "rich" oddly). I didn't tip him though, or even acknowledge I knew him, not sure how he'd respond TBH.

To Brumbers, I'm not a violent man, and yeah the site does seem to have got a bit fractious. I think we all need to repeat the mantra "it's only the internets" a thousand times.

Pretty sure he does work in Tesco. Small world, etc etc

Well, it's not a massive City, TBH.

Well, it's not a massive City, TBH.

Tell me about it. Last weekend involved meeting someone I played cricket with in Tony Pryce, someone I did my PGCE with at the services, and someone whose kid's football team I coached at (and a fellow exewebber) at Tesco...

 

[GIMH]

Should have told him who you were!

 

[GotSpin]

Just been reading the "Venting" thread. Yeesh. After that there's no way I'm touching 2nd Greatest Batsman... cos I reckon I'd need a shower afterwards.

Oh God Almighty was pretty close to my reaction. Seriously, what's gone wrong over the last few weeks and months? Guys who've been on here for years are now bickering pointlessly with each other.

This is what happens when there's no cricket on - other than IPL. Just descends into chaos with opinions running wild

 

[grecian]

Should have told him who you were!

Didn't think we'd have much to chat about TBH.

Anyway, was only 95% certain, and quite frankly going up to random blokes and saying "do I know you from the internet?" is not something I really want to do.

 

[GotSpin]

You should have let it slip. Coughed 'Cricket Web' or something. see if he had a reactiion

Ah yeah, much better option to do that in a crowded supermarket, I'll be sure to do that next time

 

[GotSpin]

its better than saying 'excuse me, are you from the interwebs, i think you're banned atm though?'

Better still, to do what I did, and say nothing. Remember I'm typically English, and anally averse to any kind of social gaffe.

 

[GotSpin]

He'll be deeply hurt when reading this!

Well I go to the place about three times a week, so maybe next time. Just imagine the witty banter, it'll be like when Oscar Wilde, met some other clever cove, or summat.

 

[GotSpin]

Hopefully it wouldn't end up like some of the scenes in the movie about Oscar Wilde

Happen he'll be able to help you out with his staff discount?

We live in hope.

Only works if Richard already had him by the balls.

Pratters owed an apology imo He was telling the truth, after all.

AWTA. Especially considering the PM was apparently "the last straw" in his banning, to quote from official correspondence.
