Got a text from him a few months ago. He seemed to go missing after he met me!

Scott man, can you take the odious little shit............and lose him? 120630[/snapback]

Give a littttttttlllllllllle respeccccccct

Can I come? Erasure are class!

It's very good actually. Starts off class, but goes off it a bit at the end.

Here ya gan peasepud: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=55961 A very good thread, although my personal favourite has to be Two Cats or Works Party Dilemma.

Fair enough, I accept there was no malice, but I still think it was a kerrrrrazy thing to do!

dont worry mate, I am, however unlike certain others Im going to take my time and document it tomorrow my version of events will be there for all to see. *oh and I thought you werent coming on here anymore? 108915[/snapback] I'm waiting for a bit, I probably will leave, but I'm staying tonight because I wanted to put my views forward on this first, but I'm still not happy!

peasepud, on a serious note, it might be a good idea to put forward your version of events on N/O so it doesn't get completely out of hand and you end up with a fatwa or something.

Peasepud doesn't even go to games either - which makes the 'joke' all the funnier I suppose! 108807[/snapback] not missed one this season tbh 108899[/snapback] Oooooooooooo. Reet lads, he's around. Start the mission

peasepud and Scottish Mag basically got in touch with HTT pretending to me a German newspaper reporter (they created a whole website for the fictional newspaper). They then sent a list of questions for HTT to answer, he did, and they made an article. However, the article was made with an exceptionally poor Babelfish translation and it was discovered. That's about it really. Still not a clue why they did it though. 108880[/snapback] No, no, you should have said that it was discovered after several days. At least you should have stumbled over the word "Ventilator" ... Marseille ... wink, wink, nudge, nudge... 108889[/snapback] Forgot about that.

Read what you've just written there and tell me there hasn't been a MASSEEEEEVE over-reaction! 108883[/snapback] There has been, but again, I'll say it's not the hoax it's the fact that someone would want to decieve their fellow supporters just for a cheap laugh.

I just can't trust what you say anymore.

Anyone for that Toontastic-N/O football game now then?

How's it been ruined like? Fucking hell, alright the joke may not have gone down well but what exactly has been ruined? Seriously I'd like someone to tell me. As far as I can see FUCK ALL has changed. For the campaign to have been "ruined" this would have had to have destroyed any chance of Hitzfeld managing Newcastle. Please tell me how that's happened. 108853[/snapback] well if the press get hold of this they are hardly gonna think the campaign is legitimate. One toon fan hoaxing another, they are gonna think we are all nutters and we will lose all crediability that we had. this site is a s***hole. I'm off, feel free to delete my account 'n all 108857[/snapback] As I suspected, nothing even approaching an explanation for how the campaign has been "ruined". It sounded dramatic but that's about it. The hoax had fuck all to do with this site, but if you fancy a flounce....... 108860[/snapback] I have a monopoly on flouncing at the moment.

Please tell me how that's happened. 108853[/snapback] I agree, which makes the 'joke' even more baffling! It's had no effect whatsoever, except for making a lot of people dislike them!

Might be a good idea mate. Then again, Ccrimson could get into a convo about N/O in an empty room.

Cath, I can see what you mean and the reactions have been a bit severe, but the lengths two people have gone to just to get cheap laughs from some people on an internet forum astounds me. I found the joke quite funny, but I always thought there was some sort of bond between our fans, so seeing some deliberately trying to do this to another set is incredible for me. 108837[/snapback] Can you seriously not see how ridiculously over-reactive it is over there too though, Dan? "Ohhhh we were mentioned on Look North! Surely that will be enough for Hitzfeld to be persuaded to come here!" You hit the nail on the head in just a few words of your post though : "An internet forum" The man is NOT going to come to our club on the back of an internet campaign where the fans are so blinkered that no-one else in the entire world is fit to grace the doors of our club. 108844[/snapback] I can see how some people are getting accried away, but they are just people trying to ensure that the club they love gets a good manager. They had good motives and this 'joke' has annoyed many people here. Surely you can understand why?

Didn't know he had received threatening phone calls.....bad crack there like people, think some of them need to get a life 108836[/snapback] Aye, sorry Peter, mob mentality and all that.

Yes, I appreciate and understand that. 108821[/snapback] Thanks It was more aimed at Dan though 108823[/snapback] Don't worry, I'm aware of that. My flounce-exit would be magnified by 1000 times if it was a forum job! Just re-reading the e-mails sent, WTF were you thinking lads? Creating an entire website, sending page long e-mails and pretending to be from another country just for cheap laughs. Still can't believe why anyone would want to do it.

He has become a hate figure of Urs Meier/ David Beckham after WC98 proportions dear. I'd get the armed guards round.

Two people man.

Fuck's sake! Dan man, if they'd done this on the SMB you'd be pissing yourself and saying how good a hoax it was. If you want to flounce off, be my guest like but one or two people are taking this FAR too fucking seriously. 108805[/snapback] Right, seeing as I haven't logged out yet, I'll put my flounce on hold for a minute. Like I said on N/O I thought the hoax in itself was OK, in fact fairly amusing and the campaign is already done so no problem there. But I've seen the e-mails that were posted from one side to the other for the 'interview' and they must have taken hours of work to do it. I have just no idea how anyone can spend that much time trying to decieve their fellow Newcastle fans. I still think peasepud is a cracking guy though, and I've got no hard feelings towards him, but I have no idea what would motivate someone to try something like this. Anyway, it wasn't the hoax which has made me leave, more the attitude over here. Too many bitter people. Anyway, where was I? Fuck, I'm gonna regret this tomorrow.
