Then why did you react to El Diablos pefrectly reasonable and rational post in the manner you did?

His response hit the nail on the head btw.

There's no debate to be had. If parking is restricted, its' restricted. If its' a public road, its'a public road and nearby residents have no rights whatsoever.

Why dont you park across his drive, get out and wave at him while pointing at your car then go sit in it and watch his face when he comes to the window. He'll more than likely come out and you can then move it to the other side of the road as per usual.

Actually I might go down there now and just park in his empty street right opposite his window, see if it works on a non-matchday too.

I could publish his address too and we could take it in turns to park there for several hours every day.

We could hire massive trucks and park them outside.

I've got a fridge I need to get rid of. I might go leave that on his verge.

Get the bus next time

Seriously though, Community Coppers put these sort of notices out if you park where it could be dangerious, maybe thats what happened.

I see the remnants of the Old Clique are out and about today.

Thank you for the clarification McF, however if you had read the relevant post which mentioned your own particular actions, I'm sure you would have seen that it was acknowledged you were parking perfectly legally.

May I draw your own attention to the small matter of needlessly upseting an elderly guy? One wonders if you would be quite so bold if it was his son you were winding up. I have my doubts, as I have my doubts that you would actually act in such a manner.

And lookee here.... its G1 and Danny..... bang on cue! Who would have thought that?......what a coincedence.



I thank you for the pro bono advice my pinstripped chum, but we are discussing attitude, rather than the absolutes of parking infringements.

Nothing for you to see here.

..and there it is.

Whenever a poster says something stupid that they cannot justify and rationalise they go to the age old "clique" comments if anybody calls them on it.

I've never met El Diablo. No idea who he is. Not in any cliques together. Only thing we do is both post on here.

Your response to his original post was silly and infantile. Just fess up to that.

You called him crass when his post was reasoned and articulate. You advocated wanton vandalism. He called you on it.

That I would agree with him has nothing to do with cliques or your deluded paranoia that we're all out to get you. Maybe, just maybe, its' that we're all right and you were being a little bit silly?

Why don't you pause, go back and re-read the first couple of posts?

I don't upset the old guy, he chooses to wind himself up over something that someone else is doing that is totally innocuous and legal, I can hardly be held responsible for someone who is clearly unable to control his own mind - so I laugh at him.

Yes it makes the matter worse, but I am amused by such things.

Which part of nothing for you to see are you having problems with Gareth? If I wanted to listen to a self opinionated legal chappy I'd call one of our lawyers in and get it first hand. Second hand is well.....not so good, wouldn't you agree.

Perhaps you would care to justify your ridiculous accusation that I advocated wanton damage? There is a world of difference between advocating...get your secretary to look it up....and understanding a response.

You will also note that when I was mentioning cliques, only Mcf, yourself and Danny were mentioned? The paranoia is all yours my friend, and you were a hell of a lot funnier when attempting to convince us that Scotty had a great first season.

Once again Gareth, you have jumped in with both feet....made unsubstantiated comments.........ignored what was actually written in reply to points raised and end up displaying your polka dotted undies.



I still like you though

If you don't want to listen to my words of wisdom don't read them. I shall continue to post them whether you like it or not.

So there.

I would but she rarely does what I tell her. I am still awaiting a coffee I asked her to make this morning and a blow job I requested last week.

I am appalled that you think I would socialise in any way with an old fuddy duddy like Mclaren Field. Not cool enough.

Your abject failure to understand the qualities of a top class RL winger like Donald is your failing but one which I will continue to try and help you address.

So? Better than work isn't it?

People do. I am quite charming.

I'd just like to add that I would under no circumstances socialise with the likes of G1, he is far too handsome to be seen in my company and I should look ugly by comparison, I try and avoid such associations if at all possible.

I am however often seen in the company of Danny.

Tis true.

i have a photo of them from a recent night out at the working mens' club.

BTW, Mclaren is not that tall, just regular size.

As I've done nothing all day, I may as well send myself home.

It s been fun, and I promise to try and see Scottys good points..... Danny though, is beyond the pale!

Well, I see we've moved the conversation forward considerably this afternoon.



To summarise my position, before I get on with some of what I'm paid to do (people are waiting for their fries as I type):

1) I will never park in a fashion which I consider to be inconsiderate to others, meaning I will not obstruct roads or driveways, park in disabled spaces, close to junctions or on top of people's pets.

2) I will happily park legally and responsibly on a public road. I do not consider this in any way grounds for a rational person to become offended. I consider this action to be not only legally defensible but perfectly fair and ethical. To park inconsiderately in one of the above ways (or other I haven't mentioned) may well cause offence.

3) People who live near sporting stadia and other attractions might reasonably expect that public parking around the venue may become extremely busy at peak times. This is in fact the sort of thing one would consider when buying or renting said property, unless the use of the area should change in the period since they have owned or rented it. This does not mean they should expect people to park like idiots, but it does mean they should expect the road to be busy.

4) If people do become offended, justifiably or otherwise, it is never in my view acceptable, appropriate, understandable or amusing for them to engage in vigilante activity of a criminal nature. We have laws for that sort of thing, and condoning vigilante action in any way is a step on a pretty slippery slope in my opinion. It is not for the general public to decide what behaviour they find offensive enough to require punitive action, and you certainly can't start damaging people's property every time you find their behaviour inconvenient. To find that kind of thing entertaining and understandable is a far more crass attitude, in my opinion, than disputing people's right to take offence at legal activities in public places.

5) I have never met or socialised with any other posters involved in this discussion. If I did I might not even like them, especially if they smell a bit funny or dress better than me.

That should cover it. I have no further comment at this time.

So no one else got one then?

Went by public transport didn't I?

I'd sooner walk to HQ than get on the wagon!
