    Morning folks from Papendrecht.

    The vast majority of folks who post threads on this site, go to a lot of trouble to do so,
    and I enjoy reading them all, I always respond to each and every one, because that person has put his or her self out for my enjoyment, what I have noticed, is some posts can get say sixty viewers, yet no responses, shame realy, BUT it takes nothing to say "agree" or "dissagree" and every time you respond your status if you like increases, but the threads would come more alive, with the interaction of these silent folks, I know a lot of articles a watched at work, and responses monitored, but not all, hell if you realy enjoyed the article, give a star or a biscuit or something, If you are shy dont be jesus we are all dickheads sometimes. well rant over, time for a refill.

    I agree bill. I am guilty of reading but not always having a say; hold my had up for that one, and it does make things more interesting when others have an opinion. Will try and post more future. Star from me (not sure how to do them, but have one anyway)

    Nice one Mel, lived in St Kilda , and Fishermans bend for two and a half years, saw some great bands there, alas never saw any good football, was 91-93 though, I
    know things, football wise have improved massively.

    Guilty as charged, responded to pretty much everything during the first few days of us moving here, just doing my bit to get the board off the ground. Now, not so much. Although it doesn't help when the OP doesn't respond on their own thread... Sometimes I really can't comment, didn't watch the Spurs game so couldn't say anything about it.

    Love St Kilda, still has a great buzz and good bars. You're right about the football Bill, two teams in Melbourne now so have a choice, sill can't get as involved about it as I do with the lads though. Still something to watch rather than AFL!

    ??? The Sunderland board has Sunderland threads :) Unless you've been a permanent resident of the After Hours forum so far, won't find many Sunderland threads there... ;)

    Well said, and the stars are at the top of the page, rate this thread. I tend to say a lot and the danger is it can look like the same old faces spouting the same old stuff, its not what we want. The more that comment the more alive the forum becomes and the more enjoyment everyone gets.

    Like the OP says, we are all dick heads at times so dont worry about it, I cant spell and occassionaly that is pointed out, do I care, no.

    Indeed. I get slightly embarrassed when I see I've made the last comment on 80% of the threads on the first page, 30 min after I posted my replies!

    Hi Bill, I plead guilty as charged, and I do agree with you. However, I don't often have time to post replies so, unless it's a controversial topic, I tend to keep my nose out. In future I shall post if I disagree with the opinion stated.

    Good point well made! Also guilty as charged. I try to get on when I can to see some of the banter, but have to admit getting bored with all the Big Chris crap!

    Well done Syd by the way! Long over-due!!

    I hold my hands up!

    I'm one of those who would rather only comment when I have something constructive to say. I'm not intentionally being ignorant in doing that, it's just my own personal preference. ;)

    Welcome on board, i assume your a Ghanaian, a few more signings and we could well become an all African team, hope you enjoy the board, and are looking forward to the Everton game, are there any more supporters where you are the more the merrier, if you want link to the Sunderland shirt shop the guys here will oblige and if you need a donated top just ask there are guys on here with plenty.
