who actually is this daft yorkshireman?

James Thomas.

Squaddy i reckon. You just know he comes from an area ridden with chronic inbreeding lol

I'd stop now before you make a fool of yourself.

Edit - too late!

He's worth 3 of you....oddly enough he's probably the SIZE of 3 of you too.

is this britishlegiononline now or something? the guy must be bored off his arse to make his daft threads

No. It's just that some of us have actually met him and I can assure you he's far from being a yob.

Dodjem wrote: No. It's just that some of us have actually met him and I can assure you he's far from being a yob.

Absolutely, a gent.

Of course my judgment is somewhat clouded by the fact that he declined to kick my arse when I met him (for endless yorkshire abuse of something).

I don't think this twit has quite got the grey matter required to graps that some people here come from famillies who gave a lot in one of the big ones, or even fighting some of my less pleasant countrymen.....so just maybe, they took his comment a teensy bit personally....imagine that!

To be honest who he is, is irrelevent. The forum is mostly in woeful condition. Its dominated by the same 5 or 6 people, including one Welshman who seems to document everything from his dietary habits to his bowel movements.

The contributions from North America are mostly much better and wide ranging. One thing that surprised me is the lack of threads on music technology and the like. Surprising for a band of that type.

Thats not the job of a forum, there is a chat facility and MSN for that. Effectively it has become too personalised and cliquey. Apart from Edel's threads and that synth nerd guy most of the contributions are awful.

That confused me too. Welsh Darren doesn't post much on here. Maybe he thinks Fradders is Welsh?

If I'm honest, I tire of those threads too. But if you read back through Behind Closed Doors, you'll see there is a always a mix of subjects. The ratio of those subjects may not be to your liking, so do something about it. A lot of the people who post on the 'up the arse threads' are actually intelligent people who are equally happy to voice their opinions on serious subjects.

Why don't you start threads instead of complaining about the lack of them? Simple.

Mansour Ali wrote: One thing that surprised me is the lack of threads on music technology and the like. Surprising for a band of that type.

There are occasional threads relating to music technology, but I'm sure most people into music technology, would go to either soundonsound.com or musictechmag.co.uk or similar. It only becomes specific to this site when it's something new order related, i.e what gauge strings does hooky use, does steve use a hard or soft beater with his acoustic kit, does barney know how to play in any key other then D, did gillian just press start at the beginning of TPK video etc.

Getting back to the original post, just because you disagree with something doesn't give you the right to offend people, it may also come as a suprise to you, but a lot of americans lost their lives in the second world war too, so you are probably annoying them too.

And for the record, I'm a northerner, but I don't eat pies, I have not been drunk for about 3 years, I'm not a lout and I'm not over weight. so you're stereotypes are as fucked up as your opinions.

never fails to be amusing this site. and any queries/problems/shit someone always helps even if they havn't got a clue

so yer, jem's point

Anyway since when was anybody here bothered about offending people? Certain people actually revel in it (*cough* user: uncleliam). It was only JT that decided to start making multiple threads on the issue on a personal level. No Holiday was actually not far off the mark - most of the threads from the British are on the snide side. I dont think I was departing drastically from that role.

Mansour Ali wrote: Instead its threads like: "Do posh bird take it up the arse"?

An important question. Someone start a poll.

Seriously, every now and then, along comes someone who doesn't fit in. They often tend to go for shock posts, as in your comments re: the war dead. Possibly attention seeking, I dunno, don't care.

I can't see a great deal of reason for you being here. You don't post on the NO Forums. You change your name every five minutes. And now you are slagging us all off, when surely, a forum is about the people who contribute, including yourself.

Time to make a choice methinks.

No the actual issue is: why isnt the site attracting a wider audience than it is? especially as it is a .com domain after all. Overall I think it is best to leave this site, having seen various newbies being derided by a clique that actually cannot see the absurdity of itself.

You seem remarkably quick to draw everything on to an emotive level.

When you examine those various conflicts critically it all seems ridiculous however. It just seems to me like excessive national pride - a sort of cultural narcissism without any sort of rational thought. It wasnt a just cause and the behaviour of the British during those conflicts especially in its colonies was indefensible.

Look at the state Britain is in now, even regardless of the recession, in its dreadful shape compared with a lot of asian countries.

So you slag off the dead? The employees? Or are you now trying to say its 'the futility of it all'?

I've got my views on the army, and the conflicts it's been led into, and they wouldn't be pretty reading either. But, I wouldn't go so low as to diss the 'pawns' in the game, that are not here anymore.

Ultimately, this day commemorates in particular, the 90th anniversary of the WW1 remembrance day, a war in which people had no choice in conscripting, or they were either shot or locked up in a sanatorium.

Glad I wasnt about then, but I would never show any disdain to them.

There are many reasons, but the biggest problem is in education. For a developed nation it is severely lacking, so much so that we have to recruit most of our engineers, doctors and IT professionals from India and China. Other issues relate to decadence such as alcohol over use and general over-consumption.

I'll leave it to others to comment on the British situation, but that same argument is made here in the U.S., and at least here in the U.S., it's nonsense. With the exception of our war for independence, not one of our many, many wars has ever been about American "freedom." Still, it's taken as gospel that that's the reason lives were sacrificed.

All that said, I agree, we shouldn't forget those whose lives were cut so tragically short.

The examination of these various conflicts critically is the luxury of the historian, and historians tend to be revisionist anyway especially if they want to match Kershaws book sales, or Beevor. Each and every conflict when examined critically,dispassionately etc can be made to seem ridiculous. ANY conflict or argument can be made to seem ridiculous including the ones on these boards. However, when examining these various conflicts with a finger on the emotive pulse it becomes less cut and dried, rather like real life. You mention national pride, two of my fathers brothers died in the colonies as you describe them. Thing is national pride doesn't come into it for them. they left De Valera's Ireland for work in 1937 and came to the UK, the army offered them food and board and ironicaly ( for them ) the Kings shilling. long story short; they died of berry-berry on the Burma railroad, their deaths weren't unique, their graves are well looked after buy the Royal British Legion. At various times over the years members of my family have made the trip to the graves, we know their history and stories. The younger of the two, William followed his brother everywhere, literally to the end. Now my point is.. I view this on an emotive level, I know the printed history, I know the various versions of the history, but at the end of the day they were uncles I never met. On this level it's my loss, not yours. but on an emotional level, you could never second guess what I think, as for the state of Britain now; well that too is an emotive subject. One that historians will look back on with an all too clinical eye

Ally, listen, I should not have brought that up where I did, hand up, my bad...even though I genuinely did feel horrible at the time I posted it. Let me be clear re: the nazi thing....when one mentions that, one gets this "we don't burn people" thing. Neither did they to start with. The horror that was Nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia didn't start with the huge historic evils we remember them for, they started with enforced carrying of ID cards, removal of the right to take photographs, refusing a search being an offence, police vetting of entertainments (seen what the met are up to lately?). This country's a whole lot better than a totalitarian state, but what scares me is how close we might let things get to that. That looney bitch Smith and her "databases fix everything, so I want all your DNA records" is gonna fuck us all up mate. What about the enhance CRB checks where all I would have to do to prevent, Liam or Nora or LJ from ever working again would be to phone the peelers and say they touched my kid up....even if they are not found guilty by a court, even if they are not charged, even if it is proved beyond all doubt that it was a false accusation, because...well for one thing I HAVE no kids.....it remains on their enhanced CRB results for ever....with no note to say "turned out to be ballix".

And to bring this back to where we started, I will tell you who I hear these same sentiments from when I'm in work....the men who stood at those memorials on Sunday morning remembering all their friends. More than once I've heard "I fought, and my friends died to prevent this sort of thing you know!".

i don't think it's really fair to lump what mr king said in with what cambo said.

also, i feel cambo makes a good point about salami tactics. besides, surely we are all qualified - as voters - to give our opinion on the way we are governed?

i have to confess i'm not entirely sure why cambo's comments were deemed so out of place on the remembrance thread. in my opinion 'lest we forget' doesn't refer only to all those brave people who fought on our behalf, but also to the lessons we learn from history in the hope of preventing it happening again. perhaps it could have been expressed a little more delicately, but i feel the sentiment of seeking to protect/not take for granted the freedoms our servicemen and women died defending is a fine way to honour their memory...

Had we not fought WWII, we would still have had our freedom. Hitler would have been quite content to make peace with the UK and the US, as long as he was left free to dominate the continent. Japan was not a threat to us either. In short, WWII was not about preserving American freedom (although with Hitler, who knows, he might have taken us on later). Regardless, I think we went to war for the right reasons, and as a result, WWII was our noblest military effort.

EdelBrock wrote: maybe even a possible WWI?

American freedom wasn't at stake in WWI.

EdelBrock wrote: How about the War of 1812?

The British weren't threatening our right to vote. They were boarding American merchant ships and pressing British citizens and deserters back into the Royal Navy. Perhaps we had a legitimate right to dispute that practice, as well as their effort to restrict our trade with France. But was our freedom to vote at stake? No.

You can't be serious.

EdelBrock wrote: Korean and Vietnam (though not essentially a war) can be called into question, but the fear of communisium taking over American freedom was real....

There wasn't a snowball's chance in hell that either the Koreans or the Vietnamese would ever have the capacity to imperil American freedom. In Korea, we can at least say that we were opposing North Korean aggression, but how is it that we were at war on Vietnamese soil, telling them what they could and could not do, and our justification is that we were stopping their aggression?

It appears you are a Yorkshireman also. One thing I have never understood about the North - Yorkshire in particular - is just how much the locals revel in boorishness. Scotland and Wales have poverty yet are reasonably desirable to most people. Yorkshire and Lancashire are ridiculous though: exaggerated accents, boorishness and inwardness are the order of the day here. A lot of this misplaced pride I am sure is a defence mechanism for not actually having anything worthwhile to say. Even when they move south (aren't they selling out their northerness in that case??) they are still utterly unbearable.

Yorkshire and Lancashire are ridiculous though: exaggerated accents, boorishness and inwardness are the order of the day here. A lot of this misplaced pride I am sure is a defence mechanism for not actually having anything worthwhile to say. Even when they move south (aren't they selling out their northerness in that case??) they are still utterly unbearable.

oooh all this AND comments about scantily clad women 'encouraging male predators'! i feel like scrappy-doo - "lemme at 'im!"

Not that you're one to stereotype? Are you suggesting EVERYBODY from Yorkshire/Lancashire are like that? Maybe you think EVERYBODY from your neck of the woods has the right ideas.

PRICK.

sometimes i really wish that whatever-they-are-called-this-week didn't have bristol listed as their location.

in fact why do you all insist on changing your user names every five minutes, gets very confusing if you don't visit here often.

no, in fact I am indifferent to Bristol. Its just that everybody on here has a pop at the home counties in particular implying somehow that behaving discreetly and politely is somehow effeminate

Everybody on here?

I can assure you I've never had a pop at anybody on here (or otherwise) for their birthplace/current home.

In fact, I think in the 4 years I've frequented this site I've never actually had a pop at anybody.

Until now.

Well done - you're my first.

I expected Uncle Liam to be in the middle of this. Where is he? He would make it more entertaining.

Is this some sort of a game - coming on here and picking on the least-offensive and thoughtful people?

Starting on JT is crazy - he's the top of the pile when it comes to integrity, unless I missed something.

And calling foul on Lancashire and Yorkshire for having funny voices and picking on Southerners? What a load of shit. At least we're not all a bunch of lavender-scented ponces like everyone who's not from a proper county is.

Stop picking on the home counties? Nae lad! Next you'll be asking us to be nice to the Americans

Oh, unless you're sat behind the safety of a keyboard mouthing snide remarks from a couple of hundred miles away. Natch.

Yeah and of course its not snide to start a thread attacking one individual user. He could just as easily carried on the debate properly in the original thread. But dont let fact get in the way of your argument. In fact to be frank almost every post from the British contingent is tainted with snide contempt.

OK, just in case anyone didn't read what was posted on the Remembrance Day thread, Special boy wrote that he couldn't be arsed with it, hated squaddies, the nostalgic old hard men and the tory women that go with it.

Now, I take exception to that in the same way as I take exception to little tossers who sit on their local memorials, drinking cider, adding their graffiti etc. If you don't give an arse Andrew, why demonstrate how immature you are? Why not just ignore it? Remembrance day is about respect, respect for people who have lost their lives or had their lives ruined because they were involved in a war. Many were conscripted so had no choice, went and died. Many went because their friends did, hence Accrington lost an entire generation. Before you start whining about having a choice, it was a different world and if it's a worse world we live in it is because we are producing self righteous little pillocks like yourself.

So rather than argue on a thread dedicated to something I have the utmost respect for I sent you an open message in the way of a thread titled 'Andrew King you are a cock', I then proceeded to state the obvious.

I already said i was apathetic about Bristol if you read subsequent posts. Why so much use of the 'c' word, you seem unable to talk anything other than expletives. If anything that post endorses what I said even more. Southerners get things done quietly, northerners cant refrain from telling everybody what they are doing. Kent, Sussex and Hants are the most civilised parts of Britain without doubt. Bear in mind that living standards nearly always decline with distance from the capital regardless of which country.

I wholeheartedly agree, I've seriously considered doing King's Cross-Edinburgh JUST for the view of Durham Cathaedral (I cannot spell that word) as you pull into the station. The fact remains that I frequesntly have the following conversation with people who are rather closer to Durham than Liverpool...... "I really need this sorting FAST, can I come in and get it done?" "Durham's your closest, and they can see you tomorrow first thing" "what about Liverpool" "well, they've nothing until next tuesday". "that'll do"

I have not a clue why. Always put it down to poor road links or something, but I'm starting to wonder.

Durham is on the A1,so we can safely eliminate poor road links Steve.I'm as baffled as you.

You wouldn't be far wrong, because we're beaten into saying things about how the offices can't do this or that.....then the buggers go and do it. Most of them are great for sorting people out, except London, who are REALLY by-the-book, but they have to be, they are snowed under all year round. We actually run the risk of getting busted and a severe talking to, for actually telling people that but, we're basically meant to say they're all jobsworths. I refuse to.

Query: Doyle?

A Doyle is a Berk,sort of.. It's by far thee most common insult on Teesside,from my generation,and can actually be a backhanded term of endearment between friends,yet also derogatory,in a different context,like a spacker or summat..

Mansou whatshisears,is a pontificating one,just reading this thread.. Though I'll be fucked if I'm reading all the other thread,to back this opinion up.I've seen enough.

Well You did ask Cambo,you doyle!

This is again another thread I cant be bothered reading.

Is someone calling JT a daft Yorkshireman? Considering the man has been known to hang around with me, I'd say there were 100% accurate in that assesement.

I've heard that(Doylem),from a mate born and bred in Melton Mowbray,Leicestershire...Home of the pork pie.

Maybe Doyle evolved from doylem,who knows? But Doyle is very much embedded in the local lingo..

Needless to say,when we used to play The Professionals in juniors,Bodie was the preferred choice of copper to be..
