blonde poker forum

Flushys facebook profile says he is barred is this true?? what has he done?

He was abusive towards one of the up and coming Mods.

He was suspended for 7 days, not barred.

Please await further info on the matter. I need my afternoon nap.

dont need no further info, he called criswan a ****

can we close the forum untill he comes back pls?

Think the joke has worn quite thin now.

Can we also not have people talking about kicking the shit out of someone on their night out also then also?

we're only human ::)

Seems a bit harsh that Flushy was banned for it when he hardly posted on the thread, there are lots of other comments that I would have thought were inappropriate, including some from the subject himself.

 If it wasn't for that thread then I don't know much about it.

Oh, I almost forgot

 ;popcorn;

It's kinda worse when someone's ONLY input into a thread is to call someone a ***** then? Not nice.

if u live by the sword, i u gotta be prepared to die by it too   i guess.

im ;) sure a funny response will be forthcoming  in a few days.

Does this mean that Flushy won't be becoming a mod ?

There is no rule about Mods in absentia, so the position is unchanged. ;)

I was thinking of asking him to be an APAT mod, seeing as he is unloved around here.    ;)

He is not unloved at all, he is in the Sin-Bin. Don't be trying to poach him, right? ;)

<enters thread>

I wonder what it would be like to be a mod?

<leaves thread having layed the foundations>

It's all wine & roses.

headaches and leg deep in manure then!

Maybe the first stage 'sin bin' should be naming and shaming on a public humiliation thread?? After the slating the perpetrator has to say 'sorry'. lol. If that dont work, move to the 7 day suspension?

I am a bit skintos at the moment, but I have hit on a fool proof way of making money .... I'm gonna put my forum password on ebay and give people a chance to bid for a 24 hour access period on the mods board :D :D :D

me and nem didn't get a 7 day ban, 14 for us, pure racialism ::)

my mind doesnt have to do press ups to figure out reasons for u getting banned bolt but what did nem do??

special treatment so flushy doeosnt get poached?? Or maybe its 7 days an insult?

Groan........

The question has been asked a 100 times, but the reason has never been revealed. It was a lomg time ago, & it's over & done with now

Leave it, please.

 ;shame;

this thread cracked me up, you can always rely on blonde.

Flushy for foulmouthed mod.

<exits left, chased by bear>

<tantrum enters stage right, weilding stick>

he said liverpool were crap so the baron banned him

Fair enough.

They are crap!! Never a truer word spoken!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Tell us in aint so????

Pure maths.

2 x 7 = 14.

Sandy

2 x 2 x 7 =28

pure correction

Sorry its true they are crap.

 ;D ;hide;

football advice from a Jock............ rotflmfao

rotflmfao

A Welshman (who supports the toffees) and a Jock with the criticism. 

Doesn't that count as praise?

They doth protest to much me thinks...

 /:-|

spelling mod

Yep,  it is a bit sad when a person who makes 3,000 posts per day gets a ban.  I am not a mod so, that is all I will say on the matter. 

Out of interest,  do you get an automatic ban or are you given an opportunity to make a public apology?    I have only been banned from one thing in my entire life. When I was 13, I was banned for intentionally directing my bike into another competitor as he tried to overtake me at my cycling club. It had the desired effect, so the ban was worth it.  Schumacher tried an identical move exactly one year later, I suspect he copied me .

How does a ban work, will Flushy not be able to access the blonde forum site or will he just be unable to make posts

pure scum!!

as low as it gets in my book ::)

Awesome a+


He will not be allowed to log into his account.

He was taller, had a faster bike and his Father was shouting at him to "Go on my Son, push it my Son, get it won my boy ".

 I was shorter, had a crap bike and was at the race on my own.  It was the correct course of action to take in my opinion.

Poach, me?  Fry him maybe......

Nonetheless...I am pleased to annouce the Flushy for APAT mod campaign......

link removed by the mods

The official restore Flushy avatar.

(http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=15647;type=avatar)

such a worthy cause

I'm in...

usual suspects with the flushy obsession :) will u be doing this for a week? lol

Love it!

Pardon?

lol,  very funny.   I am using a computer that is an antique right now as my laptop is in rehab. With this thing, all I get is an error message when I go to the pics.   It will be funny to see loads of the same pic next to everyones avatars

Was going to ask if Flushy was doing his squirrel impression in this picture by storing nuts in his cheeks...............

but then most of you on here would insert your own one line double entendres so i'll refrain  ;whistle;

Does he always look like that or has he had a stroke??

We could argue he's not been well and get him off he's ban..

who bought him that shirt?!

they have a lot to answer for!

Definitely! rotflmfao

his boyfriend obviously!!

the mods have created................FLUSHYISM

insta-cult

perhaps its his pyjamas?

Disgraceful behaviour. Calling someone a **** on what is meant to be an adult forum mainly used by degenrate gamblers, x celebrities and women who should be getting the kids packed lunches ready.

Next week a Bear gets banned for shitting in the woods and its revealed the pope is actually a catholic.

Just FYI Russ, it's a family forum, not an adult forum.

ariston you made a mistake

blonde is a family forum not an adult one

we encourage players to get there familes to support them during the live updates

wow a mod echo.

I was of course taking the mickey guys and the comments about women making pack lunches for the kids should of given that away (they should be up early in the morning to do that its now getting towards bedroom duty time if they've finished the ironing etc ;) )

It may not have occurred to you Russ, but the Mods - all voluntary - have had a bit of a tough day.

the echo just goes to show the mods are thinking on the same lines

on an adult forum which there are plenty the sort of comment flushy made would have gone unnoticed

point taken.

ok sorry guys first time ive been on today and was only taking mickey.

Thanks Russ.

How many under 18's post on here?

i may be speaking for me, kev etc but how many under 18 stones post on here?

You've just reminded me to do the lunches , thanks Ariston  ;D

can i get a ploughmans please charmaine

Course you can dear  :)

lol

My 16 year old son has posted but a while back, he has been know to browse.

Families of players wanting to know how their relations are getting, not least, one mother of a respected Canadian player, you know who I mean ariston, often comes on here to see how how daughter is doing.

It's a family forum.

I've just prepared my son's packed lunch....so many thanks to ariston for helping me to finally work out which sex of the species I am !

And whilst I'm here :  FREE FLUSHY !!!!!!!!

For one, he's the most amusing poster on this forum and for two, he makes just as much an ass of himself live....You gotta luv the guy    :  FREE FLUSHY !!!!!!!!

Ariston uses the word **** in his post...

Flushy never once used that word in his post, so why have we all jumped to conclusions about what he said? He put, quite simply, **** - leaving it open to the imagination...............................

You've just reminded me to do the lunches , thanks Ariston  ;D

MMM!! Ploughmans

A ploughman's lunch is a cold snack or meal, comprising at a minimum a thick piece of cheese (usually Cheddar, Stilton, or other local cheese), pickle (often Branston Pickle, sometimes piccalilli and/or pickled onions), crusty bap or chunk of bread, and butter.

It is often accompanied by a green salad; other common additions are half an apple, celery, pâté, sliced hard boiled egg or beetroot.

fish?:dontask: :dontask:

**** was obviously a typo on my behalf as I type as fast as I talk. I of course meant to type pnut.

Ps nice bit of stit shirring Rodney you plonker (see what Ive done there, ive managed to get in another only fools and horses quote :) )

If you read the whole thread you will find other people have used the **** abreviation (obviously typing errors from them) so dont try and drop me in it please rodney, I've already apologised for a bad timed mickey take (although at least I reminded Charmaine to do the kids dinners for tomorrow freeing up more time for looking after paul in the morning).

pmsl how can it be family when to play poker u have to be 18 ;)
ok i should have read page 6 before page 5

My 15 year-old daughter browses the forum. She doesn't play poker, she just likes to see how her dad is getting on in a tourney sometimes.

My mother is over 18, she doesn't play poker. she browses the forum sometimes for the same reason as my daughter.

My 11 year old browses the forum. The other day he said to me "Dad, how come Flushy hasn't been banned yet?"

It's called an education in life, this place

What the hell happened today??
Folks seem a little on edge, flushy gets barred all the time.

wasnt dropping you in it... i just used your post as an example.

ffs if thats dropping you in it im scared to post anything at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why are people so bloody sensitive.

What a fantastic thread - love it!

LOL FLUSHYMENTS

FYP.

For those that missed it (me), which post is it and has it been deleted?

Found it hiding in internet poker. That's 3+ hours of reading the forum  >:?

Surprised he didn't try and do a deal with the ban - and chop it 7 ways - a day each.

The words 'Ploughmans lunch'  were featured on Boulderdash presented by Victoria Coren.  It traced the origin of where the words originated from.   Very good episode. 

You didn't miss much tbh, a few people were taking the piss out of someone (nowt wrong with that if the person has got a clue and knows it's happening).

Now the ironic thing is the same people complain of whats resulted,  yet continue to make posts deliberately to drag this unnecessary drama on longer then needed :)

Don't just tell us half a story, where did it originate? My guess is Somerset and the early 1900's..

( Stolen from the bbc site )

Ploughman's Lunch The OED had no evidence for this before 1970. With help from Wordhunters, this has now been pushed back to 1960, when documents uncovered at the National Archive from the Milk Marketing Board reveal that the Ploughman's Lunch was invented as a marketing ploy to sell British cheese in pubs.




Here is the site with a few more common words/phrases and their origins

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/01_january/20/piffle.shtml

I am the official spokesman for the Brighton One in his absence. He wanted me to let you know he is well and coping despite his painful exile. His training team, including myself, are finalising his training for the WSOP 2007 main event, confident that his unique aggressive style will see him at yet another final table. Here's the footage of our last training session:

http://tinyurl.com/ysmhsa

Wow, he's coming on in leaps and bounds, smartened he's image up as well I see...

There was only one primate played last years WSOP main event - and it wasn't Mikey!!!

Can you tell him I think it's ridiculous that people are using his photo as their avatar.

Flushy get yourself to Vegas, also can you possibly bring some dollars with you as some of us are running out  ;oopsy;

Just read the thread in question and I do hope there have been many posts removed from it becuase if flushy has been banned for what he said there its a liberty. I have said far worse a million times and so have many on here. The quote from the guy about beating people up and the narcotics etc  does make him seem to be a bit of a (whatever james said). Now things have calmed down I suggest the mods go back and read the thread again while tension isn't running so high and you may realise that james wasnt being overly offensive (he says far worse on many occasions as do most of us). If there have been many posts removed then I appologise for this post but a very strange thread that isnt in the same league as the P4C thread where threats of physical violence were being banded about hourly. the kid may have problems but to discriminate against the majority on here in favour of the minority is still discrimination- we all take the piss on here and we should be wary of alianating the longest serving members.

ps please dont send me into the BB house- I would end up killing nemesis or someone inside 5 mins (If you do send me in you best send me a lady blondite to keep me amused, I'm not like james who is from brighton and is used to the company of men 24/7)

technically you have to get banned now because flushy didn't say he was a ****, he said he "comes across like a ****"

you said "does make him SEEM to be a bit of a(what James said)

same thing

consistency being the last refuge of the unimaginative, you may have dodged a bullet ::)

He wasn't banned for the post.

He was sending pictures of himself aroused to the male members of the forum. A week's ban was pretty generous i thought.

My Zoom tool in Photoshop has never seen such action before.

even worse, he used 4x zoom.

Shape up Prew - you have to be pretty quick to make an ultra-lazy crap joke before me.

LOL, beaten by 5 seconds!

sigh, there's only one Dick Tracey.

I just feel sorry for the guy who thought he was being spammed and immediately put in an order for 300 cocktail sticks for his son's upcoming  birthday party.

Once again it's the kids who are the innocent casualties of all this.

LOL Chipolataments.

Is that because they just got back from an exhausting power trip?  Maybe a climb to the top of the mountain they created from a molehill?  Ariston's original post was absolutely on the money and the guilt trip you put on him for holding a contrary opinion, which after all is what forums were created for, is a disgrace. 

Richard

ooer ;popcorn;

Wow, flowery stuff there Richard. Oh that it were merely for having a "differing opinion". I stand by my rejoinder to Russ. It was a statement of fact, on a day when the trollers were out in force. Russ is a grown-up, & he knows the score.

Hope Mum is well.

pmsl. Must remember this at the quickest way to quell (sp?) an argument.

Flushy's had it coming for a while, he called me a mug a while back.

Margaret, Richard's Mum (blondeite mrsmummy) is a big follower of the blonde Live Updates, & we've exchanged many a PM & e-Mail, particularly just after last year's WSOP Main Event, in fact going right back to Monte Carlo a few years back, she seems a charming lady, though we've yet to meet. Richard has probably queered my pitch with Mum now, pfft. But I do hope she is well, & in good heart.

Gathered that, but uts still a nice touch. You playing at Luton still grandad?

Sure am Sonny Boy, but been very busy last few weeks so not been there.

Must be tough going to so many quality events and living the high life, sigh.................

Good to see this thread has calmed down, perhaps it had something to do with the moon cycle.

;bumwiggle;

BUMP. Flushy is a gonner again, i think there may be a persecution happening as i believe a few mods have got it in for the poor lad. Lets be careful not to bury one of blondes biggest assets!

what on earth for now??

victimisationaments

flushy called someone ignorrant apparently

oh no, here come the 'Finding Nemo II' profile adjustments......

****

Seems its easy to get a ban...do I just swear, yipee kya mother fu...?

It does seem a bit unfair this time.

In today's day and age, just because someone chooses to model their wardrobe on will and grace and enjoys wearing a pink mask with feathers on most saturday nights, there's no need to single them out for harsh treatment.

So Flushy throws a ball like a girl and minces about with a limp wrist. Big deal. This shouldn't preclude him from posting on blonde poor fellow.

I don't really get why he was banned this time. Maybe I misunderstood as I was in blackpool pwning my brothers at" house of the dead 4" and pool all weekend but it seemed like he was banned for calling someone out for being a racist bigot. Which seems fair enough given the nonsense the guy was coming out with which I managed to read before the thread was deleted.

Flushy is a moron at times, I think we all know that but he is good at poker and posts interesting hand analysis comments, even if they are a bit harsh at times. Plus him being banned means I have to listen to his whinging and bs constantly.

So I never thought I'd say this but free flushy please....

OK I get to be public enemy number 1 here as the only mod on, to reply to this

I was a party to the decision made on Sunday night, to suspend Flushy for a month

First off I count myself as a friend of Flushy's as do a number of other mods. There is absolutely no vendetta or victimisation here. Frankly any suggestion that there is such is extremely disappointing. We all get on with Flushy personally and no doubt that will continue.

...However during the course of a particularly tricky thread on Sunday...now deleted.....James was felt by the mods team to have baited and inflamed the situation, and despite contact from several mods this continued.

Another poster was removed from blonde for good as a result of this thread but Flushy was felt to have provoked a situation

I totally agree that James has a huge amount to offer blonde, both in terms of his knowledge and his humour. However the mods team has to face facts. He causes us a huge amount of work by his sometimes tactless and confrontational posts and has had repeated warnings via phone, MSN and face to face as well as PM contact. Mostly informal, some formal. We get regular complaints about the style of posts that James makes, we deal with them. Sometimes these may be people being over-sensitive to Flushy's style, and we have given James a huge amount of leeway. More than many others have had.

This comes only a short time after a weeks ban and was not a decision taken lightly. However we all believe it was the correct decision

This is a vibrant, popular and interesting place for all of us. No one person can over-ride the standards that we set and be exempt from moderation if  the mods collectively decide that is appropriate

Finally in the next 24 hours the team's moderating guidelines are published. These set out to let you all know what we expect from posters and to iron out any consistencies that currently exist.

I hope that this new ban will not affect Flushy's future eligibility for modship.

I believe the mods gave him this thirty day period in which he can give his full attention to submitting an winning application to become a mod.

I think the 30 day ban may be ill-considered. The day he comes back he'll be premenstrual again, then it'll all kick off.

Pity that thread had to go, I can appreciate why, some good stuff on it though.

The lunar cycle is 28 days, so it should be okay ;)

I like flushy, i think he can be very funny, however i also think he can be plain rude and ignorant, a couple of his posts in the airport bombing thread where just that.

I'm refering to his answers and comments to Geo and his relative where she expressed her pain after a friend had died in a terrorist related incident and that she didn't appreciate his rudeness and flipantness and his responce was- 'welcome to blonde'.

It struck me at the time as ultra insensative, and it seemed to be a comment playing to his fan base and not showing any feeling at all. This is just one of a few recent comments and it's got to the stage where he will hurt the newer members of blonde and stop people posting, this in turn affects the majority.

I've enjoyed being a blonde for a couple of years and have made lots of new friends, recently i have found blonde to be less enjoyable- it would be a shame if others felt the same and stopped posting.

So possibly flying in the face of popularity i support the ban, what i would rather see tho is James taking a step back and actually re-reading some of his comments and if he feels they are still what he feels and would express again- maybe he should question himself too?

There is a certain awkwardness to posting this especially as he can't answer for himself (he'd probably reply- 'standard' lol) however it's something that affects us all and is probably best discussed.

I dont want to upset anyone, i just want to come on here, read, reply and enjoy Blonde again.

James hope to see you back on here soon, your a great asset and a great guy- Please just tone it down mate and bring back the old flushie.

Matt.

That made me smile.

Have we not been here before? again and again.

If someone's been warned numerous times and still continues to be a prick (ohh no wait he's good at cards so its ok to act like that?) he deserves whatever he gets. He's had more warnings than anyone.

Some 4-5 people continually complaining he shouldn't be banned, yadda yadda yadda. Go run your own forum where your the mods.

30 days is a big ban and im in the dark as to why it was isued but rather than seeing a rise in the rudeness of people, what i am observing is how overly sensitive people are (not referring to why flushy got banned, just a general observation).
I didnt realise so many blondes are so thin skinned. If people take every slightly less than positive comment to heart from some stranger who they dont REALLY know then it is them who needs to take a look at themselves IMO. Dunno if this is the right thing to say but if its directed at a woman then thats different but if its man to man, then grow some..... and get over it!

Good post and to be perfectly honest we did not really feel threatened by Flushy, merely thought some of his posts were indeed insensitive.

I deliberately left the thread when that idiot came on spouting so much nonsense and am not surprised in the least that Flushy lost it with him. If I had stayed on the thread I would probably be joining James in the BB house to be honest.

Over the last couple of days I went over what Fearisthekey had said about a possible misinterpretation of Flushy's "doesn't concern me" comment, meaning that what he was implying was that the fact that this looked like an amatuerish attempt it caused him no concern. However i could not revist as the post had been removed.

In hindsight I may well have asked for a better explanation and for that I apologise. I too have enjoyed so much of Flushy's input to the forum. On the say something nice about Flushy thread, my comment was something like - Honest, irritatingly at times, but honest.

It is such a pity that Flushy himself rose to the bait in the way he occaisionally tries to get others to do.

Thanks to the Mods for the lifetime ban on the other guy, I don't know him and he was not helping my cause any and as I said previously was the reason I left the thread.

I, like many on Blonde, Look forward to Flushy's return.

Geo

who was the other guy, pm if not allowed to say it on this thread.

Why do i miss everything by about an hour!!!

ban? :)

pure  deja vu.


roast me a groundhog.................

"If someone's been warned numerous times and still continues to be a prick" - Yes who is someone I called a prick? If I called Mr Bloggs a prick thats different. Now go stir up some shit somewhere else.

its easy for folk to get carried away during a heated debates and guidelines will be good. are we having a consultation with the blonde community around these guidelines as we are the ones that are going have to work within them? and it would be good to comment before they are officially launched???????

lol me ???

I think its pretty obvious who you was calling a prick considering the thread. I dont think Byron was stirring some shit, as you said, look at the smiley in his post.. How comes some can get away with flaming and others not?

ukpoker

he's hardly shit-stirring! It doesnt take a genious to work out who u were flaming.

u sure mate, i got a different name sent to me by pm???

If you read what I said, I dont call anyone directly anything. I call people who have been warned continally who still act a certain way pricks.


But thanks for your input.

like i say, this place brings out a lot of passion in people. i would like to suggest a child board where people can go and rant and abuse each other for kicks, laughs or just to vent negativity in general. you could put an '18 cert' on that child board/thread/however you would achieve this? just an idea??

(http://blog.mediacatalyst.com/images/seriousbusiness.jpg)

would love to see someone photoshop this so it has tikay saying Blonde poker forum - serious...

LOL sorry tk, should have thought to ship a florescent yellow one on.

Knew i'd missed something...

i like the tie!

Nice,  matching hair and tie :)

Well said Matt.xx

that's pretty awesome, is there any chance you could make it "Serious Business" at the bottom (I know i shoulda said that in the first place)? I think there will be many opportunities for us to display your artwork in the future :)

God dammit flushy why?

 

how's this?

I'll quit the photoshop industry about now.

gg bongo.

pretty damn good :)

pmsl, pwned!

LOL, post of the week!!

Oh, A MONTH?? FFS talk about overkill!!

Ive been posting on Blonde for a long time and its fair to say Matts hit the nail on the head with this post, I cant really add much more but i hope Flushy reads this and takes it on board.

Great post Matt.

Oh yeah that was all really about thrashing out the debate more than anything, Geo, my real gripe is with the 'permanews' channels like bbcnews24 and Sky that go on and on and on and on about this stuff blowing it up into something enormous when I thought it was just a failed attempt. Any terrorist attack is serious but these news channels just go crazzzy.
The thread was pulled so I didn't get a chance to say what I wanted, but I did want to point out that I'm sorry for your loss and hope that times like these do not bring the memories back too much for you. I lost someone close in a speeding accident so I guess that's where my analogies were coming from...
That other guy.....I just thought/hoped he was very drunk.

Appreciated mate, I know only too well the problems caused by the media, the barstewards were near enough camped in my parents garden trying to get pics and comments, all this whilst we were trying to prepare to bury my brother. Added to that the news and paper articles that were so far off the mark they were unbelieveable and only caused more grief. They really are a nasty bunch (polite comment).

Geo

unbelievable.

I hope that in the new and improved rules it includes this one:

It is ok to insult people if you dont specifically name them, even thought its blatantly obvous who you are referring to

Lol yep!

Excellent..so now we can all look forward to 'well played sir'...'ship it'...'nice one'...'take it down'..posts.


Someone suggested an alternative forum...ie 'not for the faint hearted', (James will understand the reference - aviation site).

Perhaps the 'Rub Down' or somesuch name. But banning him is wrong because (a) If it's because you find him a wind up it  just adds fuel to the egotiscal feckers fire or (b) You think he's a nasty guy with nothing of value to add to this community then I humbly suggest you would have to walk many a mile to meet someone who would dig a mate out of a hole like Flushy would.

Few things make me laugh online, this did.

It still makes me chuckle whenever I see it...

Some people agree with the ban, some people don't. Whatever decision the mods make, it's nigh on impossible to satisfy everyone's views, so they're always going to be in the line of fire from wherever they stand. In this sense, I feel that it is a shame that people can't take this into consideration before posting.

I am not currently a moderator of this forum, but I was at one point, so I can respect not only the amount of work they put in, but also the decisions they make, whether I agree with them or not. They may make incorrect decisions, of which is inevitable and supremely subjective, but they always try to act fairly and in the general interest of the forum - to suggest otherwise is highly offensive.

When I first stumbled upon this forum, I was enduring an excruciating 9 to 5 job in a place I detested, bored out of my skin and glancing at the clock every spare moment as I willed away the hours. blonde poker made my time at that hellhole a whole less painful, and for that, I am extremely grateful. Since then, I have garnered an equal, if not more so, amount of joy from the various posts from the eclectic membership of this forum and have lost track of the amount of times I have laughed, smiled or been thoroughly entertained by what I have read. On top of this, we are provided free live updates, blonde bashes, cardroom deals, exclusive blonde offers and, speaking for myself only, countless new friends that otherwise I may never have met.

What did I have to pay for my days being improved? Nothing. What has been asked in return of me? To respect the work of the moderators who work effortlessly to making this forum what it is today.

Is it really that much to ask in return?...

well said snoop.. I have stayed off these threads as James and others are members so a little distance is needed at such times, that said I think that flushy is one of the nicest people along with "that old guyof the telly" that I have had the pleasure of meeting throughout my Grosvenor career.

Great post. x

some mods do have it in for BHOF'ers

wow--- i hope everyone reads this post- pauses..... and thinks about what blonde has brought to them, and what they have given in return.

 :goodpost: iagree;

Well said snoops- especially as you must have been a tad jaded this morning after our somewhat late finnish this morning

is he banned again if so how long and why ?
sry i havent got time to read it all again im so mixed up with this.,.,thread.,.,thnx guys

I wonder what Flushy is doing?

Perhaps...

thanks for that. I'm not the only one then :cheers:

The lucky so & so is (was?) playing the Brighton £300 tonight, and I was supposed to join him, but I had to cancel due to a diary clash, poo. Kev is there, too, so maybe we'll get an Update later.

Ahhh good luck to them both  :)up

Personally, i think we should hang him at dawn.

PERMA BAN!!

James has not been happy at some of the slanderous comments concerning his sexuality so set about proving just how manly he is last saturday night....

Is Flushy still barred?  :dontask:

ban up tomorrow

or midnight tonight

Ok cheers.

i class flushy as a friend of Clive's and mine.  I would adopt him if he were homeless and I love to hug him.  although he and Clive differ on a number topics they always manage to reason it out in the end.  Always without violence.  He would be one of the first people I would ask for help because I know he wouldn't hesitate.

Still MIA?

In Cyprus I believe, Tikay did mention that he might not post anymore

He's back from Cyprus & he's hob-nobbing with the toffs at Goodwood I believe, as a Corporate Guest.

I have not discussed with him whether he'll return or not, I try to keep blonde & friendships in different pockets, so to speak, but the last I heard, he was doubtful to return. Personally, I very much hope he does, but that's entirely his decision. I think he'd get a wonderfully warm reception if he returned.

He will be back, even if i have to drag him kicking and screaming to his keyboard :)

Why was he banned???

Due to a post made.

LOL quite specific...

What we want me banned as well by repeating it?
 :D

****

Tell me damnit

****

**** ?

Is that "see you next tuesday" or "if you see kay" ?

yes

I think he said **** (******) *****.
