finest hour was the "science experiment" i did 171187[/snapback] GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK 171207[/snapback] I was four years old man! As far as I was concerned, I was just being mischevious!

We have a 'quality control' process in place on here though.....you're name's not down, you're not coming in!

Happy Birthday sir!

Aye you're right, it is threads rather than posts. Mind you it wouldn't surprise me if they extended it to posts too!

Fuck me there's a blast from the past.... I had shitloads of them, finest hour was the "science experiment" i did when I dropped on over the bannister and it landed perfectly in the lead crystal vase that my Mam had on the phone table in the hall. Consequently the vase exploded sending little chards of crystal all over the hall and giving my Mam (who was next to it, on the phone at the time) the fucking fright of her life!

pretty much ditto but it was £150 and it was for skipping the metro but to be honest I used it twice daily for months without buying a ticket, the fair, per journey was about £1.80, I figure I did over a hundred journies... therefore I saved me self £30 never skipped a metro again like 170775[/snapback] Did neither of you have the chance to pay a penalty charge - £10 or £20? 170838[/snapback] That's at the discretion of the bloke who stopped me. He decided to take it further than a simple 'spot' fine. (Actually I'd heard on the local news only a week or so earlier that they'd had a huge clamp-down on fare-dodging at Reading Station and they were making examples of people). I did write a mitigating letter with my guilty plea saying that it was a first offence and that I had never been offered an on the spot penalty charge but it didn't wash...

I've thought long and hard about commenting on all this, primarily because the board wars of old have gone and we all seem to get along OK. Nor do I want to re-kindle them. But quite frankly when I first read what changes had been implemented over there, I thought it was a wind up. Moderating every post? Words fail me! Ergo if a couple of people who've had their positions elevated don't agree with the subject, then in the bin it goes?? Jesus Wept! Tell me, who's moderating the posts started by the moderators? I take this opportunity to state that: - Toontastic will never have thread moderation (we'll just delete it if it's shit because quite frankly, it's less work for us than to moderate every post). - General Chat will always be here (whether they were kidding or not) Thank god I was talked into helping to get this place setup!

Agreed! I've wanted us to make an approach for Keane ever since his Wolves days... And his link up play with Duff is supposedly excellent, is it not?

Hope the old fella is back on his feet in no time...

I wasn't caught on the train, I got done at the station..... Brock's gonna say he'll know all the places I'm talking about here. Went to meet my brothers for a beer and a curry in Reading last summer - instead of driving into town, I drove to a tiny village outside of the town called Mortimer, left the car there and jumped on the train. The ticket office was closed and there was no automatic machine so i got on the train waiting for a ticket inspector to come round - by the time we got to Reading, none had came. Anyway I got the station and started to make my way towards the ticket hall when I bumped into one of my brothers. Told him my predicament and he told me not to worry as you could get in a disabled lift which took you up to the covered walkway over the railway line at which point you could walk down some steps into the main ticket concourse and, importantly, on the other side of the barriers. What's more he told me no one bats an eyelid. I ummed and errred but finally went along with it and yep, you guessed it, was approached and asked to show my ticket as I was leaving the ticket hall main exit. They had the whole thing on CCTV! Didn't hear anything for months so stupidly assumed they'd forgotten all about it. I got a magistrates summons on Christmas Eve and the case took place in early January. For a £3.10 ticket, I was order to pay a total of £280!! Never again!

Got done for rail fare evasion..... Court case was in January - got a £280 fine!

Uninstall it, go to www.oldversion.com, download v7.5 and install it.... It's bug free! (I learned from experience BTW )
