I'm sure you are thinking about HordenMackem. If it is I remember him posting some pictures of his bar we hitch looked immense. Not sure it was Canada though, thought it was somewhere in the USA.
Horden, that's the fella. Was it the States? I'll bow down to your memory because it was just an inkling that I had. Yes, his bar did look very good. I thought they'd be one or two of our posters that would eventually find their way over there as that wouldn't have surprised me the way this board was at the time for meeting up. I don't think that ever materialised, though. Shame.
@farnboromackem Edmonton, Canada. I recognised the name of his bar as soon as I seen it as well... https://not606.com/threads/edmonton-beer-festival.330574/#post-9313988
I think the problem's come about because unless there's a reason for it not to be the default for this board is for it to be peaceful, everyone new has come over at a particularly mellow time and been warmly welcomed, their worst trolls were banished by our mods with no dicking about and it's left the impression that it's some kind of utopia where there's never any arguments. Not the case at all it's spicy as **** on here on a regular basis we just don't tend to a) get involved in other people's arguments that have nothing to do with us b) get offended unless it's something horrendous. Been said before but just think of it like a pub, when's the last time that you heard someone complain to the landlord because they felt offended by something someone said to them.
I've seen a few people now use that exact same sentiment and it rings true. I very rarely go into pubs but if I were to walk into the Colliery on match day and start complaining to the staff that I've just heard somebody say something not very nice to somebody else. I'd be the one rightfully lobbed out the doors. The rest of it is a great post, btw. It sums it up perfectly for me. I'm going to try and get my head down now. It is Saturday isn't it? I've been awake since Thursday evening or early hours of Friday morning, I think. I can't really remember. Change over of meds again has knocked me all over the shop. Take it easy, mate. Good to chat with you, again
The pub sums it up for me. I don't agree that running to the landlord is right, nor do I think mentioning you know that landlord is right. I didn't agree with the autism comment and mentioned that I didn't, no running to the landlord, no reporting it but the comment back was "snowflake" etc.
I'd expect the people I was drinking with to acknowledge that their comment was possibly not the best and it may be taken the wrong way and not boast about knowing the landlord or how long they have been drinking in the pub. Either way, you have been here a long time, your mates with the boss of the site, so let's just leave it
I guess the thing is that fair enough you didn't like something, you've let it be known to the person directly and as far as I'm concerned that's that, there doesn't need to be any consequences to it. Chances are as time passes and we all get to know each better it'll be sound.
Still in a mood then? We've obviously been drinking in different bars. I'm not sure where the boasting about knowing the landlord comes from? If you're referring to me telling SAFCY that if he didn't stop reporting all the posts he'd be banned because I know how the site operates, then class it as boasting if you want. I think somebody might have referred to me knowing him but at that point I was quite happy to wind people up, so I think I made a comment about having friends in high places or something. It was a joke.
Trouble with words on a screen is they don't come across a a joke, as I said, your an original member of this site, you obviously have mates from here, including the owner so I will leave it now and you crack on
I've never thought of myself the way you have described, maybe that's the way I come across though, so I'll want to do something about that. For the record, this owner mate of mine you keep referring too has banned me more than most from the site, if not the most. Enjoy the rest of your night
I had a lot on work wise, and didn't have time to contribute as I would have liked. I did try to sign up at one point, but I think there was something wrong with the site which didn't allow new members to sign up. When I saw the influx of RTG members come over, I realised the problem must have been fixed, and coupled with the fact I have more time on my hands, it made sense to sign up. I've always enjoyed to read the forum. Cracking lads on here, and like you said in a previous post, it's not too mod happy, with a bit of an anything goes atmosphere, baring the obvious pornography and racism etc.
Hey, morning all.. Just want to apologise for the tone last night @Dancingstripes, I was bang out of order. Will leave you all in peace now, enjoy the forum and lets see a proper promotion run from the lads now.. All the very best..
