velo army Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 "Thank You" at the end of posts is superb and done entirely by the Dee lads and, I think, my fellow Harry Jagfox. The reason for it warms my wee heart too. Anything @DrewDon posts in the Barclays thread irritates me tbh. It's popular though so it's just my own taste. Minter, or the continuous "calling out" of OF fans as bigots. Rubbish. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 None of the patter is that bad, I just wish some of the people who post the M74 stuff and think they are still the first person to do it, and therefore really really funny, would realise it's been on the go since about 2005 as has most of the funny patter on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on topic, '^^^ Big team found' posts are getting a bit tedious when less than half of such posts are even remotely amusing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading that a former Dundee poster on here was a lovely and scrupulously polite individual who ended all posts with "thank you" so it's a kind of homage to him. Apologies to @DrewDonfor calling you out in my last post. I initially tagged you then changed my mind, but my phone wouldn't let me delete it so I just decided to commit to it. Not a nice thing to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll always take the greatest care. I know what pride Mr Alfred has in Lissip and the cart. He says it reflects the business when people see it being driven about.” “I know you will, Tom. But look who’s coming.” Tom turned to see another vehicle rattling down the cobbles towards them. “Oh, it’s Mr Biggins from Cross Roads House, looking more miserable than usual,” Mariah muttered under her breath. “Who’s the girl with him?” The cart had barely stopped when Molly jumped down. “Good morning, ma’am,” she said, steadying herself. “I’m looking for Mr Alfred Hapstall.” “He isn’t here at present,” Mariah answered. “I’m Mrs Hapstall, Alfred’s mother. Can I help you?” “I’m a friend of Rose and I have a letter I must give to Mr Hapstall or it will be too late, and Rose will be gone.” “Wait,” Mariah said. “Tell us slowly.” “I have to find Mr Hapstall,” Molly insisted. “So that he can stop Rose from leaving.” “Leaving? Do you mean Rose Bryson is going to leave Cross Roads House?” “Worse than that, ma’am. She’s leaving Datcherford. The coach leaves at one o’clock” “And you said you have a letter?” “Yes. Here it is.” Molly pulled the creased envelope from her pocket and handed it to Mariah. “Rose wrote to say goodbye to Mr Hapstall, but I know she didn’t really want to go. She thought he was going to marry Miss Bassett, but he isn’t, and if Rose knew that I’m sure she would change her mind. I think Mr Hapstall won’t want Rose to leave, either.” “I know he doesn’t want her to go,” Mariah said, gripping the letter and trying to think what to do. “Tom, you know where Mr Darrowby lives, don’t you? Go there now and tell Alfred he must come home at once. Hurry.” Tom was aboard the cart and away in seconds. He’d turned the corner before Mariah remembered she still had the letter. “There isn’t much time,” Molly replied fretfully as the church clock began to strike midday. “We have to go.” Everyone had forgotten Biggins. “We has to go now,” he insisted, adding sullenly, “I must make another call.” With a darkening face, he took up the reins. “I must get on, or he’ll surely leave me here,” Molly whispered urgently. “But you will find Mr Hapstall and tell him, won’t you, ma’am?” “Don’t worry,” Mariah assured her. “I know Alfred will want to ask Rose to stay. They’ll both be very grateful for what you’ve done, as am I. Thank you.” With a blush and a nod, Molly jumped aboard the already moving cart and was away. “I hope Tom finds Alfred quickly,” Mariah said to herself. “The post house is half an hour’s drive away.” Tags: Alfred's Emporium The late, great, Jeremy Hardy once "sang" to the tune of the Red Flag: The People's Friend is hardly read, Except by those who are nearly dead... “Oh, it’s Mr Biggins from Cross Roads House, looking more miserable than usual,” Mariah muttered under her breath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
