Steffi Graf?

My knowledge of German women fades rapidly after that.

I've got a theory - it seems that the only people eastie liked, and the only ones who seem to stick up for him, are those who also have forum names with no capitals:

brian green
richard moore
adrenachrome
dave shelley

I've no idea what it means but it's definitely a sign!!!

I remember watching that Michael (was it Michael?) Neville interview after it emerged he wanted to buy us, and he was being interviewed in front of what looked like the sort of modest, semi detached house your gran might live in, and feeling a crushing sense of disappointment that this was not going to involve huge sums of money.

To be fair setting eyes on her wouldn't encourage you to seek out any of her female compatriots.

Almost forgot about him, Clamps.

To put a cap on the eastie stuff.... I know he is curently telling people on TBAR that he sent PMs to "three people" inviting them to another site and got banned for it.

Which is utter nonsense, he sent so many of them, he triggered the anti-flooding feature on the site, which flags an alarm if too many PMs get sent by one person inside a certain time. That's the only reason we actually knew about them at all.

One of the members he sent them to forwarded it to us and it was of the "come to this new forum, too many wankers on here, mods all hitlers" variety.

We told him this, and that we were disappointed, and flagged up the breach of rules, and he said "OMG! My account has been hacked!!!!!".
Fair do's. Can't argue with that... not that I was going to, mind.



Ultimately, if we'd wanted to ban eastie for some reason, we'd just have banned him. We wouldn't be making stuff up, and we wouldn't be frequently telling people on here why he was banned. End of the day, we don't have to justify banning anyone, if we wanted to get shot of someone, we just would.

To be fair, a lot of them are very nice, although with a propensity to be rather bossy

That's a high hurdle to clear.
Oh I am sure you have your own championship?

He is clearly wrong there as some of you are as nice as Kim Jong-Un.

She's an odd one, her. Sometimes she looks really attractive, then the next minute, horrible. See also Bjork.

Viz used to refer to them as "borderline boilers".
