The future of Nuts

I would have paid good money to see Bertie dancing to anything. At the age of 89 he was jailed for committing a breach of the peace, and spent seven days in Brixton prison, so I'm pretty sure throwing a few shapes would be a doddle.

Wasn't he one of those loonies who believed that tyrants weren't really tyrants and if you were nice to them they'd be nice to you?

The road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organised diminution of work.

My old boss often accused me of taking this too much to heart.

Did your old boss ever say that 'The devil finds work for idle hands' or was that Chaucer?

No, but he did say, "You're fired" on more than one occasion. He always relented. 
Mind you, he once appeared on site, with a gaggle of his architects, wearing a white linen jacket and black pants, and I couldn't help shouting "Two tubs and a choc ice please". Even Hannibal Lecter would have offered me a warmer return look.

I'm hearing rumblings of discontent amongst the Nuterati. Could this be the end for real?

I really hope not Bonce.

I know it hasn’t helped with what has gone on with people arguing on here through the years and with how the Trotters have gone down the leagues and even Natasha going awol.

I really wish this place would go back to how it used to be with members putting in approx 50 posts per day having a laugh with each other.

Members such as Norpig etc shouldn’t feel the need to quit. It’s supposed to be a fun place away from the usual 9-5 grind away from life’s bullshit where members alike join in the conversation on BWFC and chat about anything from fish and chips to Bruce Forsyth whilst having a laugh.

Sluffy should pm Norpig and have a chat and get him back.

He also needs to calm his one man crusades down a bit as well.

Yes. I can't help thinking Brucie let us down by dying, the selfish bastard.

I could have squeezed a lot more out of him if he'd lived on.

Don't know what the future holds. We'll probably never stop the arguments, but maybe we could curtail them a little, instead of dragging them out page after page. Some of us are never going to agree on anything, so why bother.?

I've pm'd Norpig, but he hasn't replied. He's probably in his room with his headphones on, listening to that air raid siren music he likes.
I've offered to send him some Arthur Askey records, but I don't think it's helped.
Tried that with Breadman too, to no avail. He binned them, although he did have the courtesy to send the holes back.

I've reached out to him in the past but he always seems to view it that I'm always in the wrong no matter what I say or do.

I've posted again on the ST thread to say publicly that I have no idea why the thread developed as it did - he seems to read into every post I make that I'm always the bad guy on some megalomaniacal intent to destroy the site.

I'm not.

As you've said in your post above the site was intended to be simply a bit of fun, unfortunately its been toxic since Brexit, Anderson and the hatred by some of the Tory Party.

Shame really, it was very funny before all the hate started.

Kettle and pan come to mind Sluffy!!

Funnily enough, Norpig and I were in touch just yesterday, via pm. He seemed fine; his only concern was what had happened to Nat....

Thought I'd have a little look in, see how you chaps are getting on. Thought I might find something like this. Whatever happened to the days of KP doing unspeakable things behind the bins at the back of bargain booze? What happened to Bonce's unhealthy obsession with Bruce Forsyth? What happened to the days of taking the piss out of Norpig for knocking one out over a poster of Adam Le Fondre on his bedroom wall, of Johnny's quiz's, Nats behind enemy lines, Scott and AD's stupidity, Boggers piss taking, Breads dry humour etc, the list goes on. I used to love coming on here and having a laugh about mindless shite. I also used to love the debate on serious topics and the general conversation and the portal buzzing with activity on a matchday. What went wrong? Such a shame as it was easily the best forum around a few short years ago.

I feel your pain mate. I can't believe it has got to this.

Nice to see you 58 by the way!

You too mate. How's it going Karly? What's the story? Who's fallen out with who this time? One thing I can bet is that it probably isn't worth it. I guess the Internet isn't for everyone.

Nice to hear from you again 58.  Hope you're well stocked with tinned toms.
With regard to Brucie, the selfish bastard died, with not even a by your leave.
I too miss the old days. Even Nat's pissed off.
I'm still here, despite the poison laced Carrs pasties someone keeps leaving outside my thread. I fear I might be the last man standing unless something drastic happens.
I've tried to get Breaders back, but his buttock transplant didn't go to plan and he's confined to barracks for the foreseeable future.
Might have to resort to the 'what we're having for tea' thread. Maybe KP could get it going again.
It's all very serious these days. My collection of celebrity underpants doesn't even get a sniff. No one is interested.
Please keep checking in. If only to feel for a pulse.

Glad to see you're still alive and kicking Bonce, especially as I know you've probably fallen off more than a few ladders since I last checked in. 

Next time I'm here I'll leave you some new slippers by the front door with some custard creams and a complimentary tin of tomatoes.
