    Hoadie - I always end up feeling guilty afterwards because I know your a good lad, so let me put it this way...

    When your out with your mates socialising, after every time someone in your group of mates speaks do you speak next. I would hope not, you are part of the discussion but it is a discussion as a group. I hope that makes sense.

    Yeah get what you mean, I don't always post all after everyone else, only mainly on the Match Day thread but that is normal, Most of the time I don't post for a while on the threads, but I do usually like to go back and conclude it.

    Hoadie - absolutely no problem with the match day thread because we are trying to keep those without Gills Player constantly up to date, so that will happen. Where I am coming from, at the time of that thread you had 12 viewers looking in, so why disappear and post that scores thread? You already had every ones attention. The idea is to attract people in which you had already done, so no more effort (extra threads) was required.

    Yeah I will keep that in mind like keep that thread as a main hub, post it all in there, I will make sure I don't open extra threads at the same time, Thanks for the advice, I did think if to open another thread or post it in the current one, but I made the mistake and went for the first option.

    Hoadie. You should hang your head in shame at 6000 posts. The purpose of these boards is to stimulate discussion, provide information, express opinions (preferably with some supporting evidence), and ideally do it in an entertaining and humourous way. I doubt if any more than 1% of your contributions meet any of these yardsticks. Furthermore it is pointless having any discussion when an author makes a series of consecutive posts to their own article. What is the point of talking to yourself????
    To remedy the tedium that everyone has to suffer because of your relentless postings it would be helpful if any more contributions from you met at least two of the yardsticks set out above. If you think I am in any sense in a minority, why not do a (hopefully final) poll to see if the majority of contributors want you to continue as you have been doing, or would prefer you to ration yourself to, say, no more than one post a day.
    Thank you for your cooperation which over time will help provide a better balance of contributions from a wider cross section of opinions.

    Disagree with you there, I do create debate in a good way, I write blogs and interesting reviews, you have your own opinion and I know I am not your favourite person but life goes on.
    A lot of people make more than one post a day, if people only done what you said the Gillingham board would not be successful, so as a fellow fan I would like to end it there with you and not discuss this any more as we want to stay as a strong unit as the gills are known as.

    There is no ill will intended Hoadie. The message is just concentrate on quality not quantity. Stop counting. We would all rather you got to 6100 with 100 worthwhile posts than 7000 with 1000 contributions of garbage. Rant over.

    The Greek Euro Crisis.

    It is a slow day in a little Greek Village.

    The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

    On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a € 100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.

    The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the € 100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

    The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.

    The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.

    The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna.

    The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.

    The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the € 100 note.

    The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.

    At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the € 100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.

    No one produced anything.

    No one earned anything.

    However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.

    And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the Greek bailout package works.


    And incase anyone wonders what this has to do with football, the village has a pub team. <laugh>

    Bloke wanders into a pet shop on Christmas eve and tells the owner he's desperate for a present for his wife. The owner says, "I've got the very thing", disappears out back and returns with a parrot on a perch. "This parrot can sing Christmas carols" he says. "Get away, prove it", says the man. The owner gets out his cigarette lighter and holds it under the parrot's left foot, whereupon the parrot starts singing, "Silent Night, Holy Night . . .". He moves the lighter to the parrot's right foot and the parrot breaks into "Away in a Manger, no Crib for his bed . . ". Amazed the man agrees to buy the bird and says, "What's his name". "Chet", says the owner. Next morning the man presents the parrot to his wife, and she's absolutely delighted as he demonstrates the bird's abilities. After seeing the repertoire, she mischievously asks, "What if you put the lighter between his legs?". "Dunno, let's try", says the man. He moves the lighter between the parrot's legs, and hears . . .


    "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire".


    sorry! I'll get my coat.
