I agree. Wish I could do that!

I really am enjoying the 50/50 usmcruz being an ass and he terrible British tv thread.

I'm sorry all of the BBC it is crap (since Monty Python).

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

catfish, you sure are up late. are you on a twist-off tonight/today? :~)

 

[God Emporer BillyBrew]

I DVR Benny Hill every night. It's cool, because I used to see it over the air, now I see it on cable. I get to see the nudity now!!

What was the name of the show with the priests in a remote location (I can't remember if it was an island, or just out in the country)?

Father Ted?

 

[BlightyBrewer]

Classic show! Especially liked Dougal, and as for Father Jack...Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls! Drink!

 

[Darth Konvel]

Father Ted?

Yes! That's the one. Is that show still on?

 

[BlightyBrewer]

Not any more (just repeats). The bloke who played Ted (Dermot Morgan) died.

 

[Darth Konvel]

Ah, that's a bummer. The few episodes I've been able to catch were great.

don't forget red dwarf...

Smoke me a kipper....I'll be back for breakfast.....

Sorry I'm late. I saw the entire thing go down with usmcruz. I actually defended the guy in the sanitizing thread, before I had read the whole thing, and he jumped down my throat for it. It was hilarious. Kudos to the fact that this behavior isn't tolerated in this forum.
The attempt at re-joining as usmcruz77 was weak, but then he logged on as orrelseisgay, and posted on like fifteen different threads, all of them with idiotic threats toward orrelse, before he was re-banned, and his name changed to orrelseiscool. All of his posts are gone now too.

I thought you were defending him...but it made him so mad that I had to reread your post just to make sure. I think he was more PO'd at you than any of us arguing with him...I guess it was because of all the help he'd given you in the past.

 

[TxBrew]

I ended up having to IP ban him he was so persistent.

Thanks for reporting the posts guys that really helps me out. If someone is spamming, posting offensive material, etc. please, please use the "Report Post" function. It is the little red sign on the bottom right of each post.

Both my homebrew and Makers Mark were hit pretty hard last night. Musta been a burglar.

Not all the BBC is bad, but Most of the things (Ab Fab, Neighbours, Mr. Bean) just turn me off... then again American TV is pretty bad too.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

He psoted various references to Orrelse and admin that were rather childish. Must of posted to every recent thread he could beofre getting ip banned again. Was bragging about how many IP he can use, then said to go to morebeer.com where the people aren't a punch of screaming girls, or something like that.

If he's actually a Marine, he gives them all a bad name. Must of licked to many psychdelic frogs... Like Homer!

I wonder what nick he uses on morebeer? USMCRUSISANASS?

 

[Brewiz]

Makers has got to cost a fortune over there, but great stuff, it's about the only hard stuff I drink..

I'm glad we have this option and that most everyone here is really very respectful of one another. My model railroad forum is monitored, but there are so many participants that things still get heated. Several persons have been banned over the years. It can get kinda sad to see some of the childish fighting that goes on there from time to time. I don't see that sort of thing here!

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I didn't bother arguing with him. It's hard to have a battle of the wits with an unarmed man.

BTW, I've always found "Yes, Minister" to be a hoot, in a dry way.

 

[Radarbrew]

I saw the marine fight. Was pretty cool, but a bore to read it all. Anyhow, to the Brit Television. Do you guys still have that T.V. tax? I was there '83-'86. I remember the patrol vans to catch the guys who don't pay the tax. I always thought it was kinda strange. But not to be the "ugly American" I paid mine.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I've heard about that tax. How the heck did that work???

 

[Dude]

Seeing I'm not a mod on any of those other forums if I see him around I'm gonna rile him up. Really, I'm not vindictive like that, but I AM a member of Morebeer, Northern Brewer and the greenboard forums. Those are generally good places too so I'd hate to see some ******* know-it-all proclaiming he is the next Fred Miller, start crap over there too.

You guys have no idea how hard it was for me to not lay into him a couple of times. When he first got to the site I had to PM him to settle down the condascending posts, then those 2 threads really got out of hand. It was so funny to see some of you guys make him look like a moron.

Anyway...glad he's gone.....

[uglygoat]

these beer board flame fests are really tame compared to the online games i've played and the flames i've seen there... and usmcruz was a poor troll, if you could even call him that. not clever, not witty, not wry, just i'll pound you....

the totalwar series, shogun, medieval and now rome has had some of the best flame wars i've ever seen, as has World of Warcraft and other MMORPG's... it's mostly due to the clans of players and the hyper-competative attitude of most of the players... and the average age of like 12, especially for w0w and the latestest totalwar game, rome.

hop on a politics forum for some other really good flames

but i'm glad that **** is tolerated here. this is a place to share knowledge and experience and help us all enjoy better brew, so cheers

 

[Darth Konvel]

No joke, t1. The WoW boards are brutal, but as you point out, it's common for most any game that's made it big

 

[BlightyBrewer]

Yep, we still have to pay the TV license fee over here in the UK.

It's over £100 per year for a colour TV license, and it all started with the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), here's a little history...

TV licence - a brief history

• 1922 - start of a national radio service as a state monopoly. Rather than to be funded by advertising, the government decides to finance the British Broadcasting Company Ltd by a General Post Office licence fee of 10/- (10 shillings or 50p), on and from 1 November.

• 1936 - first regular BBC television broadcasts begin but with no requirement for a TV licence. These ceased in 1939, owing to a war.

• 1946 - Radio licence sees its first increase, doubling to £1. Combined radio & black & white TV licence introduced for the first time, at £2. The BBC's television service resumes on 7 June, on 405 lines (405 lines closes nearly 40 years later, in 1985).

• 1952 - first TV detector van introduced, with some fairly exaggerated claims. Evaders at the time were estimated at between 100,000 and 150,000 people watching television without a licence.

• 1954 - over 3 million licences issues, with an audience of over 20 million, with most watching outside their own homes.

• 1955 - first ITV broadcast, funded not by the licence fee but advertising, thereby ending the BBC monopoly in television....

In conclusion...it sucks!
