Boostin' Kev Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Because he picked a winning 10 fold on the football one week but didn't get a penny because he'd burnt his coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Why does Big Gus have a picture of Simon Weston for his avatar? I don't think it is Big Si. I think it is Big Gus right after Craig announcing the real vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Why does Big Gus have a picture of Simon Weston for his avatar? He chose it whilst defending the ladies on the Mumsnet thread but mistook 'White Knighting' for Sir Galahad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Why does Big Gus have a picture of Simon Weston for his avatar? I think after one of his pie reviews, somebody said he looked like Simon Weston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Does anyone have a link to this pie thread of his? I remember him taking some flak on another thread for being a creep about 15 year old girls selling the pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Does anyone have a link to this pie thread of his? I remember him taking some flak on another thread for being a creep about 15 year old girls selling the pies. Oh yes. That was his very own mumsnet minter. He accused all the posters involved in that particularly hilarious trolling session of being misogynistic. I don't have a link to the pie reviews. Like everything, they started out ok, but he started to try a bit too hard with them after they were initially well received. In one of his pie reviews, he wrote that he had enjoyed having a wee keek down one of the pie sellers tops when she was bending down to pick up his food of choice. I'm sure he talked about how young she was as well - general creep behaviour really. I'm sure he defended his own mumsnet related hypocrisy by saying that his comments were not misogynistic, but an appreciation of the female form. Big Gus completely jumped the shark by the end of his time on here. He told everyone that he had been commissioned to do more pie reviews and he apparently believed that he had really won the most influential poster ever award, despite being a bit of a nil pointer. I think he was bitter about Dundee Barry's success with his Jocky stories tbh, and just lost it. Before all that, he was actually a pretty decent poster.

KnightswoodBear Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 DundeeBarry has a lot to answer for. Every Dundee poster now seems to be trying (and failing) to copy his uniquely hilarious posting style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 to be fair to Gus, Craigkillie had to pick someone that was remotely believable, yet hadn't already been on the list. Big Gus was probably about the only one who could fill that slot, although most people still knew it was a wind-up. It's a real cringe, and it's pretty brutal, but it was pretty funny too.

Oh, totally. I don't think anyone would've batted an eyelid if he'd landed somewhere around 20th or so, but he definitely believed he won. Craig's post was pretty funny, but Gus' acceptance speech was 100% minter material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The pie thread was absolutely brilliant and I'm not having any of your revisionism. I thought it was good as well. Don't know about the "second season", don't think I ever saw that one, but the original was funny and pretty well written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
