Fair play; my bladder wouldn't hold a quarter of that much piss. How do you know it's all his? Does he play drums for Spinal Tap?

Marionsboard is going woke; you heard it here first. I do hope you're going to change your tag line on there from smart arse pedant to smart arse pedant & ruler of all marionsboard Personally would've let the place go under, the format is embarrassingly archaic with just a handful of posters clinging on. I miss Dosser's eternal optimism & Phil Robbie's comedy & the occasional bout of Nik vs. Bungle/TLOBS but other than that it's practically dead. Edit:- Good luck I like the format. It has several advantages over here. Much quicker to pick up news than on here as it goes in a new thread. So team news, scorers, new signings etc all quicker to see on that format. As for the posters, well like all MBs there are a mix. Many from there are also on here.

Can be a bit cosy on here if you keep from the politics thread and new blood whatever you feel about them could improve this place even further.

It's not closing down. It has a new owner Is it Marion? Who definitely didn’t set up that gammon fest board? A Moderator using the word Gammon- and you have the nerve to criticise Marionsboard

The irony of that article, the people often referred to as gammon are always going on about what they can't say because snowflakes get offended yet the very first derogative word used to describe people of that ilk and it's suddenly okay to be offended.

The posts on that board over the last 12 months on that board have been shameful. If the word gammon offends you then crack on and use Marions, see what kind of stuff gets posted on there.

If the word gammon offends you then crack on and use Marions, see what kind of stuff gets posted on there. I use both - Marions since its creation, long before this effort! Sure there is vile crap on the Yellowboard but the politics thread on here is offensive to some. It is a melting pot of over the top socialism IMHO. I am sure some people with alternative views are afraid to post for fear being savaged and called 'psychopaths'. I watch UK politics from afar, have never voted Conservative or Labor. I have only spent 6 years in the UK since 1983 -if that makes me a 'Gammon' I am offended by its definition- it is anti white and anti working/middle class.

Is it offensive? Or do you just disagree with it? If you find anything offensive please report it and we’ll look into it. Socialist posts aren’t inherently offensive. I don’t agree that gammon is anti-working class at all. I’d say the majority on here come from working class backgrounds. Vicar was spot on earlier. Plenty like to bray about their beliefs and how everyone is offended these days, but the second somebody retaliates with a view they find offensive, toys are thrown out of the pram. That’s a general observation.

I’m sure we can lure Doss over here if we repeatedly spread the word that DOSSER JACKET SUPPORTS MANCHESTER UNITED, FC UNITED OF MANCHESTER, AND SALFORD CITY EDIT: and that STOCKPORT IS IN MANCHESTER We could start a thread discussing the names for colours like Pantone 032 C, hex #ff0000 and AMS Standard 595A? I Feel I'm missing out on some fun , anyone got a link to this ""Otherr Place" .

Virtually none of the politics thread is socialist. Some of it is pointing towards social democratic ideas and policies such as exist in much of Finno-Scandinavia, but that's a long way from being socialist. There are quite a few centrist voices such as HTC, and even on occasions right-wing opinions turn up. Right wing folk are free to post there and should definitely do so - but be prepared to be challenged like you might challenge someone else, and be prepared that you might be in a minority up against a lot of people. Don't come back with the "they're all against me", "right-wing views aren't allowed" nonsense stay, join in, post, fight your corner.

I don’t think we’ve ever deleted a single post on the Politics Thread, there’s getting on for 1000 pages. All views are allowed but, Imposter says, be prepared to be challenged. It’s good debate. I don’t contribute too much to the thread but enjoy reading it.

God defend New Zealand God save the Queen (King now) Thank Christ for Australia The best way of dealing with the 'Politics' thread on here, if it might upset you, is not to read it at all. I don't bother with it, even though I'm somewhere to the left of the current incarnation of the Labour Party. As far as I'm concerned this forum is for County stuff and I ignore pretty much everything else, there's no rule that says you have to read every post.
