"Bill1 likes this"

You're not a Police Office are you Bill? I've always had this suspicion or is your name just Bill.

and my thought on this is, im not really bothered, i doubt it would make any different at all.

Yeah yeah I'm a policeman.

Everyone on here knows that.

Are you on facebook? If so you should have got my little joke surely?

Bill1 wrote on Good Boy Racer's wall.

Okay, i'm confused haha and i did meen Police Officer but i guess you already knew that, i doubt you would be a Police Office.

Let's just hope i don't have you added on my FB I wouldn't like a Police Man seeing what i get up too

GoodBoy Racer

I was joking, I am not a police officer as most regulars on here know, I work, in some capacity, for WBC.

Ah excellent, i now know who to speak to if i have issues about Newbury

I guess you creap on here to write a few posts during working hours, hey hey?

No.

ps "creap" ???????

Secretly, so ya don't get caught when you are supposed to be working!

Again, no.

Again "creap"??????

Over his heed

CREEP

Ah creep!

Well done.

Also excellent early Radiohead single.

Creap was what was baffling me.

I bet you cant wait until you get to 1000 posts

As and when sir, as and when.

You have to go some before you beat this fellow Bill1

Mind you, have'nt heard anything from him for a while ! Are you OK Glenn !!

Not trying to beat anyone HJD.

As for you know who, yes of course we remember him, how could we forget?

Please dont tempt fate as he has still been on now and again but is no longer being a case of piles.

He sulking since everyone stopped talking to him.

Think he told us that he was bored with the general tone of the contributions on here and was only going to contribute when something really interested him, nothing to do with sulking at all.

I am fine thanks.

User23; nobody has stopped talking to me, other than you; which is a blessing.

That wasn't my actual words, however, if I've got something to say then I'll say it.

There was a time when you had nothing to say but said it anyway

That is your opinion and supported by a few. The majority just bantered with whatever i said

Right after a load of us setting him on Ignore, which severely cut down his contributions.

It doesn't really matter of course.

Why do you exaggerate user23? Is it because you want attention? Only two of you put me on ignore. And that didn't cut down my contributions at all. I think you live in a fantasy world user23. Get a life and stop making over the top statements.

Right then. Forget Alien v Predator, Ali v Frazier, Oasis v Blur, Kramer v Kramer or even Dr Who v Davros, the ultimate battle is on.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you Pedant v Pedant, erm sorry I mean GMR v User23.


Bring it on!

Will you be selling popcorn and icecream between rounds?.

Can do.

Also earplugs if required.

Having an 'Ignore' feature on a public discussion board is a bit dumb when you think about it. How on earth do people who use it manage in real life?

User23 hasn't gone that far yet. This forum is his safety wheels.

I imagine most find it easy to ignore someone for is being daft, in real life.

'Eh' !

We've tried it with you but you keep popping back. So it doesn't work.

Ah! It's nice to see that in this world of uncertainty with employment issues, problems with immigration, murders, burglaries and such that we can always rely on some things to be reassuringly reliable!

Yet another thread drops into the personal bickering that seems to accompany many of the posts that seem to come from both User23 and GMR.

If I may offer some advice to the both of you?
It's something that was passed to me from my great-great-great-great grandfather to his son, then to his son, then to his son etc etc until it reached me and has been told to me (and my sibling) many, many times by my own father.....








GROW UP THE PAIR OF YOU!!!!

Actually you should get your facts right. I wasn't on here, but came on when I saw my name being maligned. I just defended my position. Try reading back.

What was this thread about again???

About the 'Old Bill' being on Facebook and the cleaver way that they are gaining people's confidence to glean intelligence from an Internet interface.

Ah,now he's starting on me.

Last post sounded suspiciously like.."But he started it...."!

Actually you started on me without getting your facts straight. I just defended my position.

The thing is, as you can see from pretty much any thread that you and certain others do come in on (I'll freely admit that it's not just you), these threads quickly become mired in personal bickering and point scoring rather than debate over the subject in question.

This is, GMR, a fact as can be evidenced by god knows how many threads that are still extant on these pages.

This is not a personal criticism, just a note of what has been observed over a period of time.

If you , and those others who do this were to follow my advice as previously given then it may become a less personally offensive forum and subsequently stick to the topics in question.

This is my last word on this subject, although I'll welcome any replies, as it's better if the topic thread stays as what it was meant to be.
A topic thread.

I see where you are coming from; the sort of post I am replying is the sort of thing that gets up your nose. Not sticking to the thread, just wanting to show ones cleverness and hating what you've created to prove some absurd point.

And of course 'your last word' is your last word (?) because you don't like the sort of posts you created in the first place. Pot, kettle and black comes to mind, but we'll leave that and get back to normal; hopefully (which would have been achieved if you hadn't tried to be clever in the first place).

Talking of police on facebook, my mate just posted this link on his facebook page..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8458844.stm

Well brought back, the usuals had gone off on a tangent again

Reminds me of something from a couple of years ago.

Anyone else recall the drumming police dude in the Snooty Fox?!!

Yes! He was really good!

To add to the above here is a quote from the guy who actually took the video:

Knuckle rap for riot shield sledging coppers




Seems quite innocent really, certainly nice that the public can see the Police as normal humans sometimes.

Except the guy that made the complaint about them, left his sense of humour at home. Worth remembering that is what community engagement is all about. Most of the officers that were on duty in the snow did long long days. Walked miles to work, you get the picture.

Wow, that Superintendant certainly is an early contender for humbug of the year:



Um, what about improving public relations Andrew? isn't that a good use of your budget? Because this to me improves the relations. No, far better that we see the police as robots who are unlike us

Sourpuss.

Let them sled!!

In our day, old bill could get away with drink driving or going on duty p*ssed. So compared to that this is trivial. Police, however, in uniform should be beyond reproach, so this isn't a good display in my view. Especialy as if the bloke had sprained his wrist, he no doubt would have been off duty for a few weeks on full pay!
