    It'll be interesting to see what the Boers and those who speak Afrikaans think of him.

    What an odd comment.... No, not particularly as I'm not Italian. I was actually thinking of most western countries.

    There are similarities to him and Adams, more so McGuiness, ex terrorists turned politicians.

    Entirely predictable BBC lead liberal blubfest, if they get that fiddling c*** Peter Hain on my foots going through the TV. Personally I prefer to remember great Southern Africans of the calibre of Jan Smuts and Ian Smith.

    That's precisely my point. When will you ever hear bleeding heart journos or indeed your average Joe in the workplace say that? Yet its all we'll hear all day about Nelson.

    You know you are reading too much not606 when: "Steve Bruce sacked", "Nelson Mandela dead", "Hull City name change" and "No EEC".

    What is the world coming to?

    I don't have any strong opinion on Mandela, and it doesn't affect my stance on this at all. I'm not into politics at the best of times, never mind on a football board. I'm well aware he did some great work in South Africa but that's more than enough said on his contribution as far as I'm concerned.

    I just don't like seeing people's forced sadness whenever someone dies that the media tell us we have to be sad about.

    The apology was because inevitably there will be some genuine sadness out there from people who actually cared before the media told them to, so I should have used the word acknowledgement rather than apology I guess.

    Point scoring? You really are petty, Did you as a "MOD" show ANY respect to Lee Rigby's memory? You put a tribute post into a polilcal/religion hate-filled rant? Why? Why would you as a "MOD" do that, why not do as you done with the mandela threads and give it two threads? This to me shows you as a total ****er who wants it his way or no way!

    And you want people to add more to the forum!

    You're not showing a lot for Nelson Mandela's.

    So, given we are where we are, what exactly do you want to happen now?

    Maybe you could move his original post back out into its own tribute thread.

    Useless fact of the day - The BBC received 500 complaints in 1990, for "interrupting" Antiques Roadshow to show live Mandela's walk to freedom.

    I bet Agron made at least half of those but just kept putting on a different voice, a cunning subterfuge if ever there was one.

    Apparently he does a mean Hyacinth Bouquet.

    Suited and Booted will have made the other calls, having been ordered to by his master.
