Perhaps whites should also be offended, seeing that the white character dolls are offensive to present day white people?

/// Najee Ali, director of the Los Angeles civil rights group Project Islamic Hope, said he and other figures in the black community were 'outraged' to hear of the action figures and said they were 'a slap in the face of our ancestors'. ///

See, they didn't break the mould when they made you, Ludwig. ;o)

However sp, reading his 15.56 post, I cannot see that he has digged at you, criticised what you said maybe, but not any real personal insults.

But;

/// Creepy as hell. ///

/// I think he may have been dropped on his head as a child. ///

/// Probably deliberately. ///

Now that is really below the belt, surely you are better than that?.

You don't know what you're talking about here. He's a troll.

You'd have to see his other posts.

Creepy.

"I don't like bazwillrun and as I have already said, my opinion of him couldn't be lower.

like i'm bothered.

why you seem to think that whatever you say should go unopposed is beyond me, you might not like the medicine but hey thats life, and dont forget youre just another joe who uses this board, and i will reply to any person or posts on here whether you like it or not.

[sp1814]

A bazwillrun.

You don't seem to be able to debate without making personal digs. Why you focus on me is beyond me.

I welcome any argument, but I've noticed that when I contribute to a thread, all you do is make snide comments about me.

It's odd.

If they had made dolls of characters from 'Roots' would Kunta Kinte have a full foot or 1/2 ?





I can only repeat that I think making dolls aimed at adults is bizarre.

1: I dont focus on you, dont flatter yourself
2: Being on the same board, then it stands to reason that some of my posts will be on the same threads, there plenty of posts that youve written your usual lengthy diatribes that I really couldnt be bothered to finish reading, let alone bother to waste my time replying to
3: For someone who stated they were going to ignore me, youre not doing a very good job of it

Theres only one possible conclusion, you obviously have a massive chip on your shoulder and or some sort of complex that seems to make you think I single you out according to some of the guff youve posted.

I couldnt care less what names you fire at me, troll or otherwise (you have limited knowledge of what the word means on boards), but dont throw insults at me or anybody else for that matter then start crying when you get replies back that you cant deal with.

As you seem to have lots of spare time, I suggest you look back at say one months posts on here and see how many I've replied to that you are also involved with and compare that to the number youve chirped up in that I havent (mainly for reasons stated above in 2.)

Totally agree.

[Kromovaracun]

Well, I think dolls are cool.

You are troll.

End of.

Did you actually stay up to 02:07 to put that?

Relax and get a good sleep, or you will make yourself ill, this is only a leisure activity, which should be enjoyed, and before you feel 'hard done by' imagine what I have to contend with at times?

Nope - more of a rather drunken post on my iPhone after a dinner party where my brain conspired to leave my coat at a friends house.

Although how anyone can forget a coat in this weather is quite beyond me.

[anotheoldgit]

sp1814

I then notice that your mood changes for the worst even after an enjoyable drunken dinner party?

Hope he won't catch cold going around without a top coat in this weather, get a couple or more hot Brandies down you, oh no forget that, I don't want you attacking me. :0)

[ummmm]

lol :-)

[sp1814]

Don't worry AOG - I've spent part of this morning being pelted with snowballs by my 11 year old nephew and the Sunday roast is in the oven, so I'm feeling more than genial today.

What is it then, sledging after lunch?

Yes been there in the past, they are truly moments to treasure forever, enjoy them to the full while you are young enough, and your body will allow you to.

[Svejk]

Get a room, you two. o>
That's my first ever wink,it don't look right to me.

[Svejk]

:->. That doesn't look any better.
I want to learn cos though I'm not a touchy-feely type even when I'm trying to be nice people think I'm a t**t.

Leave us alone :-)

AOG and i spend so much time at each other's throats, that its nice to take time out occasionally.

No AOG, unfortunately, my sister lives in a part of London where there are no decent hills, so sledging opportunities are limited.

We did however, manage to build the largest snowman on the estate (which is what happens when you have three men and one 11 year old who all share an 'over-competitive' gene.

You're safe to engage in your touchy-feely side on AB. No-one will tell.
