Who said they believed that?

Don't think you can get around me by being all reasonable and mature!

Is it as lazy as immediately saying I was talking pish about the OO Paramilitary thing, when a 2-second google would have uncovered the fact that I wasn't? I agree with you that it's not strange knowing these things. It is strange mentioning them. Do any of these sentences seem normal to you: "So I went to the football the other day with Dave the Sikh ". "So I went running the other day with Bob, he's a Jew". etc. It was an odd comment.

This. "I have black friends"

A perspective from around the same time by someone that felt they had to leave the organisation:

Everything you've just mentioned was the chat in his amusing climbdown afterwards. "Oh I was misquoted"... not enough to make a complaint to the PCC or sue the journalist of course! Hmm... That's a direct quote, which he did not challenge at the time. Nothing about fringe nutters, unless of course you count the entire OO as such, which I guess I do! Who are these cranks? Are we cranks for bringing it up, please explain. And btw - folk that really aren't interested rarely go to the trouble of excitedly refuting something. No-one said they take it seriously. We said that it was threatened by the OO; by the then Grand Secretary of the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland, no less. I see forever_blue has crawled back under his rock after being proved so comprehensively wrong.

This. Try and not greet about it, forever_blue. No, it wasn't. They had an embarrassing climb-down afterwards as well. It was most amusing.

Quickly taken down again after reporting in the press. It's not so long ago that the head of the Orange Lodge suggested paramilitary action could occur should Scotland vote for independence from the UK. So no, I don't think they're that distant from their more openly thuggish brothers, sisters, and cousins. Maybe they should take a few swastikas to Sevco games? They'll look lovely next to those Star of David flags that get rolled out there.

Pretty sure we were told this sort of thing didn't happen. Those jolly Orangemen, eh? Eh? http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/nazi-and-confederate-flags-at-belfast-bonfire-site-condemned-by-robinson-and-mcguinness-31360843.html http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/08/nazi-and-confederate-flags-seen-near-loyalist-bonfire-in-northern-ireland

I excitedly explained this to the bird when that conversation took place. She wasn't as enthused as I thought the information warranted her being.

Changing directors half-way through is rarely a good sign though...

Good stuff, I'd be annoyed if it was a bust. I'm still a little gutted it wasn't Cornish / Wright though... hopefully the experience won't put them off doing something else together.

Why mask the names?

Exactly what I was thinking.

It's this guy out the Walking Dead apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Bernthal

Well fair enough, I can see I need to be more accommodating and reasoned on this. I do think there is an element of masochism in keeping on reading folk's drivel, but it's probably no worse than stuff on here etc..

That's within your rights of course. Your stance would carry more weight if you expanded on the reasons you disagree.

Nope, just anyone that has posted up a version (whether it be greater or lesser) of the shite people have posted here as examples. In basic psychological terms I see no substantive difference between someone daft bint posting "so upset just now" to whore for responses, and someone else posting up a "perfectly reasonable" photo of themselves or their wean as an update, safe in the knowledge that it will garner a half-dozen cloying responses. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with either, but doing one of them and looking down on the other is a bit rich.

I don't think you should be saved from it. Have one, have ten. Just admit you're a hypocrite every time you think you're better than the goons posted as examples on here.

Jesus. The above is grim. I couldn't be bothered trawling through the hundreds of pages here, so apologies if this has already been said a dozen times, but all of you are part of the problem. The site is a less shite friends reunited. It is specifically set up to encourage needs wankage. There may be extreme examples of this that everyone can point to as being the "worst", but everyone using it is merely a lesser version of these bellends. "oh but it's handy for keeping in touch and organising things" - Set up whatsapp groups with folk on your phone. You don't need every other c*nt to see what you're organising. Basically everyone one there will at some point have posted some shite that to some extent is designed to make them look good in some way. You don't need to. You just need to have some backbone.

If they do it anything like the Alias comic, Jessica Jones could well end up being the best of the lot, fear not! Also - The Punisher is confirmed for Daredevil season 2. Pleasing. More carnage.

I use Edinburgh and Glasgow pretty regularly, and find it takes longer on average to get through at Edinburgh. At least they're both investing money I guess... some of the airports in this country are a joke. Leeds-Bradford springs to mind. Horrible place. I've stopped flying to London as well. West-Coast mainline all the way from now on. 15 minute train to Central, then four and a half hrs and I'm in Euston. Compare that with either the grim slog out to Edinburgh Airport (shite if you're coming from the West on the M8, shite if you've got to get along Corstorphine Road in f-ing Edinburgh traffic), or having to get out to Glasgow Airport on the Motorway. No security delays, no having to get into London from Stanstead, Heathrow or Luton, a comfy seat and decent wi-fi. Cheap 1st Class deals often to be had. Free beer and nice food.

Suck guys off in the park at night.

Who can say, if it's fucking, boring, for him? Who, can, say,?
