Gemmill

I was first like.

Not sure I follow. It's a fact you're more likely to drive on the way to the airport than on the flight itself (especially in some foreign countries), but that doesn't help people who have developed phobias much, unfortunately, no matter how much you tell yourself it. 86035[/snapback] Aye, the pilot'll very rarely let you have a go like.

Strange. I've flown direct from Corfu to Newcastle direct in a 757 before. Apart from an emergency evacuation once, my most fightening experience on a plane was when I was flying back from America, about 1 am local time, the 31st September, 1997. The pilot announced "he had some terrible news for us". Already being a nervous flyer, I nearly shit my pants, convinced he was going to say that an engine had blown and we weren't going to make it to land or something (I was well aware we were in the mid-Atlantic). Thankfully, he went on to say "there's been a terrible car crash in Paris, and Dodi Fayed is dead and Dianna is critically injured". There was an audible sigh of relief from everyone on board. By the time we landed at Manchester, Dianna was declared dead. Later on I found out the match against Liverpool was cancelled. 86025[/snapback] Another example of the gross overreaction to that bint's death tbh. 86031[/snapback] Renton is Billy Liar man. There's only 30 days in September. This is just his way of feeling like he played a part in the whole Diana story - like people who have 9/11 stories and that.

Probably the scariest flight I've ever been on was going to Florida when I was 8. The turbulence was horrendous, and there were loads of those moments where the plane just drops like a stone and you think it's never gonna right itself. Most of those moments were followed by various drunk people throughout the plane shouting "YEEEEEEHAWWW!" like the Dukes of Hazard though, which made it all seem a bit less worrying. Good old Brits abroad.

Flying into San Francisco for the first time is a bit of a "This can't be right...." moment. You fly in over the bay, and the runway starts right at the edge of it, so it looks for all the world as if you're about to ditch into the water and just as you touch down the runway appears beneath you - if you're on the right side of the plane, you can only see water all around until the very last second. I will admit to being a bit worried.

I don't mind flying at all - long hauls can be a pain if the movies are crap and you get sat next to a freak (or behind someone who thinks whacking their seat back full tilt for the entire flight is a good idea), but for the most part it's alright. On the seat reclining thing, I almost had a bout of air rage once when some German tosser on the way back from America put his seat back from the minute the seatbelt light went off. I'm canny tall so it was pretty uncomfortable. Anyway, I dozed off eventually, and must have moved my legs, only to be awoken by this tosser turning round with his neck cushion strapped round his neck, and those silly little eye things designed to block out the light on his forehead going "I vould like to know vhy you are putting your knees in ze back of my seat!" I told him that maybe it was because I was tall and he'd had his seat fully reclined for the last 8 hours. Anyway, he told me I needed to be more careful to which I responded "I suggest you turn around and shut up, dickhead". He goes "No! You are ze dickhead!", pulled his little eye things down, and turned back round. Aye, that's right, I'm nails. I couldn't get back to sleep cos I was so livid, so I spent the rest of the journey playing keepy-ups with the back of his chair, the little prick. I can't stand it when people are inconsiderate like that on planes - I know the seats are designed to go back that far, but I never recline mine more than about halfway because it just makes the journey unpleasant for the person behind. Oh and I really can't understand people who are scared of flying. It's safer than driving.

I'm sure the NME used to be good. These days it seems to be staffed by GCSE students. OMG BEST BRITISH ALBUM EVA!!111!1111

Not really "ignoring" if you still keep responding, is it?

Crap name tbh. They're not exactly destined for world domination with a stupid name like Arctic Monkeys are they? (FACT) SLP - the wrong side of 25 is the sub-25 side tbh.

This is the help forum. It's not a place for jokes, fun or frivolity. Can we just keep it to straightforward responses to the questions asked and try and avoid any naughtiness? Sometimes the immaturity of the members of this forum astounds me! If you can't help the person that's having a problem then please stay out of this forum...... [/Rob W]

Jesus wept tbh 83911[/snapback] The best candidate by a mile, as evidenced by the landslide victory in the voting. What followed was an albeit brief spell of the message board equivalent of Johan Cruyff's vision - Total Modding. Sublime. 83916[/snapback] Christ on a bike, thank god I missed that! 83920[/snapback] Rule no. 1: Strictly no misery guts manic depressive mentallists.

I was waiting for that, no one even picked up on me apologising for being a forty-something muppet from Dundalk yesterday. 83915[/snapback] 40-something? Thought you were younger than that tbh. I knew you were Irish though.

First time he'd been taken to task over it and exposed. Classic stuff. Fuck knows how long it had been going on for! 83901[/snapback] At a piss-up yonks ago JawD told me he'd been bombarded with PM's from Blaydon asking him to "Make them stop" following my accusations Tbh, my favourite posts were the ones where Blaydon would reply to his pseudonyms. Incidentally, if Toonelaide IS Blaydon he's gone full on evangelical, which wouldn't surprise one bit. For the record I don't think Wellsy is Blaydon. 83902[/snapback] Aye, for the brief time that I was "The People's Mod" on Toontastic, I had a few PMs off him demanding that I delete all posts from a thread that accused him of having multiple identities. He was not a happy chappy. Unfortunately I didn't get any PMs off Benny and Tyne backing him up.

Happy Face = Nicos Papavasilou. FACT.

Renton finally achieves misery nirvana 83793[/snapback] Clever, implying I'm happy because the team I support has been reduced to total shit. Are you happy with the situation then Wez? 83801[/snapback] Humour bypass tbh 83837[/snapback] Lack of appropriate smilie then - crucial in a comment like that - ask Gemmill. 83842[/snapback] Hey, don't be trying to shift attention away from your little hissy fit.

I reckon Emre could have you aal ower.

I prefer to think of him as Jean Claude Van Ramage.

According to Ramage.

Aye - most of the posters ot this thread post once on a subject and it dies horribly.................. 82277[/snapback] Says the king of the zero reply thread!

What's a Bio-Virgin, Willow?

HTT on day release tbh.

Gemmills a red haired gypsy too. 80707[/snapback] Strawberry blonde 80718[/snapback] fat, dull, old and not here to defend himself. 80736[/snapback] You've got a cheek, bald blobby boy.

That's what I thought, although it has to be said it is almost impossible to rationally discuss things with nutters like them. 80624[/snapback] Like trying to discuss Newcastle United with you and Leazes Mag tbh.

Exactly what was daft about my question?? I have not got the foggiest idea how to download so I rightly/wrongly asked if anyone would be willing to explain. I am bloody amazed at the way you lot have over reacted to Rob stating a decent point! This is a help section where people ask for help (wether they get it is a different thing). I was actually being serious, asking a serious question. Stands to reason (if you have half a brain cell that functions correctly) if I know fuck all about downloading I wouldn't have a bloody clue what software is! You lot (naming no names as I don't wish to be petty and single peeps out) were sarcastic and fuckin childish!! If you didn't want to help you could have just not replied. But no, you were so bored and stupid you just couldn't resist replying in a manner that quite frankly made me feel stupid for even bothering to ask. I was mistaken for thinking I actually had a few friends on here! To be honest I am also shocked by your admin as this thread has got way out of hand, nasty and insulting and not purely in a childish way. This forum was a lot of fun in the beginning, but sadly it is turning into a playground for complete idiots who do no more than poke fun of people, where there is no need. You should remember that there will come a time when you lot may need advice and require assisstance. I hope you get the same result as me maybe then you'll realise that if people take the time to ask for your help then it's only good manners to either decline or offer to help. 80499[/snapback] And when that time comes, I'll read the instructions.
