The Swamp I

[Dave Q]

Dave, I don't know where your preferences lie, but that dead set sounds like dialogue from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", and before you say anything, I've only seen the "trailers". :crazy:

I have a long term female partner and a baby daughter, so If I am queer, somebody forgot to tell me about it.

Having said that, you shouldnt be vilifying people who watch the show through any kind of association with me!

And people's sexual choices (provided they are legal) are not my concern.

All I said was (although in another way) that I hope the J.A members embrace the myriad of views now available on our 10,000 strong LU.

I hope they learn to share the joy and glory of the NRL through other fan's eyes.

Then it becomes far more enriching for them.

But if they walk around with a dragons flag stuck up their backsides, then they wont get as much from the move.

And didnt you pm me about that bathrobe episode last week preach?

That sounds better Dave, much better way of putting it. :lol:

I'll have to check my PM's re this bathrobe episode, you can ask me about things from the sixties and seventies but last week is a bit hard on the old grey matter these days !!

No Dave, I think you're taking the piss with this bathrobe business#-o

Jubilee Avenue are very welcome, but they have to scrape their plates after dinner like everyone else.

NOT your call to make.

You know nothing about the effort that goes into these things. All you've been asked to do is to back off and allow people their space on this topic....a week at the most. But you can't do it.

I gave you the option of whinging in the Swamp. Same audience, same opportunity to air your grievances. Was this beneath you?

You still don't get it. This is NOT about you. And I'm not going to allow you to derail the topic.

I wasnt intentionally de-railing anything, it was only a friendly chat with the guys.

I dont know anyone who exclusively posts on JA.

And I have kept away from J.A L.U since you politley requested. As I said in that JA post, I dont quite know how I got there anyway.

And the fresh topic here was called "JA here " and my interpretation was an invitation to discuss JA freely and offer opinions etc and nothing I said was designed to upset or cheapen the JA mangement, members or the relocation effort into our well-connected LU.

And if you want an example of criticism I am prepared to dish out, you can visit Souths and read how I defend my club from evil-worshipping rogue moderators and career trolls whoose hearts are full of darkness and hate.

And as a question of substance or quality, I dont have an opinion on J.A. one way or the other. I am not especially familiar with the ways of J.A other than the occasional visit.

Then Preach invited me to set the record straight on a somewhat sensitive topic which was not strictly speaking, JA-related, but which did arise during the course of JA-related discussion.

So I felt obliged to respond to him anyway notwithstanding it was not "JA here" although I didnt shy away from a few encouraging comments for the J.A ship.

And bringing JA here fits snugly into my philosophy of friendly welcomes and league comradeship.

But if I am guilty, others stand similarly condemned.

I know what "JA here" means now.

 

[Willow]

You make some very decent points there Dave.

Like you, I seek the common ground.

Preach and Father both had some things to say about JA and apart from a one way trip to the swamp, the other cheek is turned a full 180 degrees.

But poor old Dave, he gets some harsh words and some hurt into the bargain...a nasty facial as he hits the deck, fingers in his facial culverts. Oucch.

Poor Dave.

 

[Willow]

Poor Dave.

lol. Don't push it.

What a "Give-up"I'll remember not to take you on my next bank robbery !!

"Preach and Father did it too Willow"

 

[Dave Q]

If it was a 3 man tackle, I'm around the legs, Preach is up around the face (as usual) and Father has put his knees into the ensuing flop. As we clambour off him, I twist the leg a bit to settle our LU defence, JA slips and the ball rolls loose.

Phweeep.

The ref pulls us all out.

Some fingers are pointed at Preach and the Father and off they go for ten, shaking their heads in phoney bewilderment.

But then there's Poor Dave.

He's made to stand there and cops a good dressing down from the ref. He's placed on report and sent off for the rest of match.

You should have taken it upstairs Willow.

A. I'm trying to "gouge out" a career with LU !!! :evil:

B. The "sin bin" is not to be used to punish foul play

C. Will "Dobber Dave" be available for the LU v JA Origin match ???

 

[Dave Q]

I'm no dobber lads.

I didnt "grass" anyone, if so, then only in that tackle.

Youse were busted fairly and squarely in the commision of your henious crimes!

I'm just comparing penalties. I got extra stick.

(cough)

I was thinking that Willow might say to us LU Loyalists words to the effect of:

"You guys are carrying on like pork chops. Stop being pains in the neck."

and

"Theres some quality posters on JA whoose contributions will undoubtedly enrich your own LU experience and that of others"

and

"Dont feel threatened, Saints LU is solid, we are just offering a more focused Saints forum.

That means more choices, more options for you.

and

Its a two-way street, its not all about JA moving in and you guys having to sleep on the couch."


Sure is wet here in the swamp. What I'd give for a dry couch and foxtel.

Dont move father! Theres a poisonous sea-snake slithering up your leg!"

Put the spear away preach!

You're "Dobber" Dave :-#, you snitched on Rev.Ted and The Preach, and now you're in the LU Bighouse.
It's rough justice in here Dave !!!:x

That ain't no spear !!! :shock:

 

[Father Ted]

Bend over rabbittoh boy it's shower time in the big house.

 

[Willow]

Don't do it Dave...

 

[The Preacher]

Don't wait to be told, it's Dobber Dave getting Palmolive Gold :lol:

 

[Father Ted]

Don't wait to be told, it's Dobber Dave getting Palmolive Gold :lol:

It's dish washing liquid Madge ! Your soaking in it .

 

[The Preacher]

Mrs. Marsh say's "Look, it does get in" !!!

 

[Father Ted]

Mrs. Marsh say's "Look, it does get in" !!!

Mrs Marsh and Madge had something a little kinky going on don't ya reckon Preacher .

I know times are tough here at the moment, but I dont want to be called a dobber or I'll get a nasty surprise like father is threatened with.

J.A?

Ok, if anybody has anything to say about it, we have to wait until next week and then post our comments here.

If anybody finds a JA forumer really offensive, its best to deal with that by pm to "Warden Willow" so as not to cause any undue offenses.

We gotta understand, life around here has changed.

I even heard some whispers about a merger of the tipping comp. The honour roll of "clean sweepers" may be wiped clean itself. Thats been very worrying for the LeagueLords (Clean Sweepers High Council).

Unless youre JA-savvy, you just aint going nowhere on this fans forum.

Our days in the sun are over. Our time lads, it has come to an end.
