One Last Time - With Feeling

[sunny-dave]

Oh Purlease !!!!!

I am having more than a little difficulty in believing some of the comments on the Scotand England thread in Sports ... so :

Read My Lips - slowly if it helps :

"There is no problem with announcing the results of games - or giving scores during the match"

"Nope - there really isn't"

"Not at all"

"It's OK - you can do that"

"Really you can - no-one gives a monkeys"

OK - have we got that bit now?

What IS frowned upon by the gnomes is giving scores or results (or obvious indications of the result) in the TITLES OF THREADS or in THE ORIGINAL POST - which makes the information visible in Latest Posts or on the Front Page of AB or CB - and potentially spoils the fun of people who haven't seen the match yet.

Have we got that?

Are you sure?

If not then I'll get me coat - because I have better things to do than explain it again.

slightly exasperated dave xx

...and further to my post at 09.18...I am also surprised that Dave hasn't responded.

I do know that he would not have spoken to me that way, face to face.

I have been watching a recording of the overnight cricket between NZ and England - for obvious reasons I have not looked at AB today until this moment.

Tilly - I'm sorry you were offended - my comments weren't aimed at any one person, and certainly not you - I would have made them face to face with people (in fact have done so) - perhaps the humour would have been more apparent and the exasperation more muted. Sorry.

Talbot - I didn't think that the BBC had +1 channels - perhaps you could enlighten me as to their whereabouts?

If I can't watch a game live, I always pop in here to make sure nobody has posted the result before I watch it.

[sunny-dave]

Is that before or after the other Jesuitical acts of self-mortification, garaman?

[Tilly2]

Thank you for the apology, Dave.

They don't, For some reason I was under the impression it was on ITV.

lol @ Garaman

[Togo]

Garaman spot on! Pop in to moan about it ....knowing the blyydin score anyway. You have just sealed the edges.

[choux]

May we hold you to the 'one last time' bit?

[sunny-dave]

If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

[Spicerack]

I'm with Dave on this. Just ignorant giving results away in the OP. Why would any fool want to do it?

[Tilly2]

This post isn't about giving the game away, not really.

[ummmm]

Dave isn't the only one who has complained about spoilers.

I always imagine one of those Japanese soldiers emerging from the jungle to be told WW2 is over and saying "Don't tell me how it ended! I want to watch a John Wayne movie and find out for myself!"
