velo army Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I know there could be a historical in-joke here, but I'm always pretty uneasy at any of the "gin-cardine" type posts.

Apparently using these techniques on the GN section of a Scottish football forum is a claim to world-leading expertise that requires slapping down your CV and publications to back it up at every opportunity. Which seems strange given that the volume of semi-serious discussion has in fact massively declined on here in the past 15 years. Perhaps the solution to this deeply held grievance is to set up a Da'snet sub-forum - a cosy safe space where you can just post puns, Kenneth Williams jpegs and scorching anecdotal/mainstream media regurgitated takes to your heart's content. The insistence that everyone else must follow these norms is getting rather tedious though. I turned 50 not too long ago so ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 There was a discussion on a thread a while back about urethral sounding.
