QUOTE (user23 @ Jul 21 2013, 07:53 PM) This section is for Newbury News. "Much loved comedian, who's programme was on TV across the country (including Newbury) dies" isn't really Newbury News. Oh, I think it is Newbury News; didn't the news come into Newbury? Newburians are not as thick as you wish them to be; a lot of them - not all granted - can think outside the Newbury box. Besides; I think you are being pedantic. Who gives a toss? It isn't going to be the end of the world. I am sure that if there were others like you then the best bet is ignore it. What you are doing is adding to it and keeping this "non-Newbury section" alive. So thanks to you it has created interest; from Newbury people, no less. QUOTE This probably explains why your own Newbury forum didn't do so well. I can imagine you might have had news threads like "Galactic Empire defeated by Rebel Alliance on Newbury televisions"? It wasn't my Newbury forum; I was co admin on there. Secondly I didn't close it down and no we didn't have "Galactic Empire news"; but if we knew you were going to join we would have had a special section just for you. Probably called "Pedantic Galactic Empire Newbury forum members who work at WBC."

QUOTE (GMR @ Jul 21 2013, 06:34 PM) This section is for Newbury; that includes watching a TV in Newbury and discussing things in Newbury. His death then is part of Newbury. Say what? A forum entitled "NEWBURY news" is for discussing things we may or may not have seen on T.V. at some time or events that may have happened anywhere else on the planet? Get a grip.

QUOTE (GMR @ Jul 22 2013, 05:42 PM) I'll get a grip, but you must get a life if it is that important to you. Jesus! There is certainly some sad people on here. Their life revolves around this forum. Does it matter in the great scheme of things or will it tip you over the edge because somebody posted where it offended you and a few escaped others. No, not at all, silly billy. It was YOU who first came on here pontificating and shouting the odds about things on TV or being discussed in Pubs locally are automatically Newbury News. Now, I'm sure you've had time to calm down and reflect. Hence you're now trying to deflect. Your statement was daft. Don't take the Lord's name in vain, and yes, there are a few sad people on here. Some so sad they get removed from other forums and end up having to run their own. Napoleon Complex or something isn't it?

I said many things when I came on here; like everybody else did/ has. But I didn't know that was against the rules. Forums are made up of different people, different interests and ways. Who is saying one way - say yours - is more superior than another's? Are you now a thought forum police officer deciding what is right or wrong?

Napoleon Complex or something isn't it? First of all I am an atheist so taking a non existent person that was created by man's imagination wasn't in vain. I never was excited, just replying to your silly domineering post so I don't have to calm down. Going by your post it seems it is you that needs to calm down. My statement wasn't daft because there are no rules to say what you can or can't do in a forum section marked "Newbury". I stand by what I said. So are you saying that you are suffering from "Napoleon complex" then? I suppose that isn't surprising considering you posts on here. I have never been removed from any forum so I presume you are talking about yourself. You need to get a grip old chum.

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Jul 24 2013, 04:32 PM) Here's a link. Now you can all stop squabbling! Who is squabbling? I am just enjoying myself. As I am sure Weavers Walk is enjoying himself (even though he is taking this thread outside Newbury's comfort zone boundaries; which he is against. But hypocrisy, eh, it is allowed )
