Before I saw the pic Iwas going to suggest All-Terrain, but that is a road bike (if you dare ride it on the road).

Maybe it'd be OK outside Delhi? Thai tigers are all but extinct.

What is so absolutely brilliant about this post, is the irony that has just got to be lost on the author.

I even guessed who the author was, purely from you pointing out the irony.

The fact that you boys disagree with the "authors" politics, has nothing at all to do with "irony" and neither does the post. Maybe you better go study the definition of the word.

However, we can pick the post in question apart if you like and you can point out what is so "ironic" about it.

One of the things that keeps me away from World/Thai news and to a certain degree OTB is the way other wise intelligent people feel compelled to agree on all issues with someone whom they know is an absolute tosser just because they share opinions on the rights or wrongs on the Iraq War or Thaksin or Wikileaks... etc etc...

There's no specific line drawn here, one side is as bad as the other.

Who was it said... "the friend of my enemy is my enemy..."

I totally agree with you about some posters, but not the one side is as bad as the other part.

It's a forum thing, I'm sure, do you agree with everything a friend says in conversation? Of course not, so why do people feel compelled to do it on forums?

What I am don't agree with is the absolute tosser part. I can't think of any that I agree with on a regular basis.

However, if someone that fits this label says something absolutely brilliant, I usually will agree with them on that particular point, but it does not happen often enough to worry about however, and almost never in the political threads.

Perhaps this bit, - ".....rarely post anything more than one line taunts or inaccurate propaganda ...." ?

If I am guessing who the author is, then that is certainly irony.

Harcourt pointing out those two points. Now THAT is ironic!

One of the reason for the increase in flaming is the World News political threads. The anarchist type posters that dominate it rarely post anything more than one line taunts or inaccurate propaganda from loony websites that add nothing to any discussion and do nothing but provoke anger.

They sometimes get thrown off, but since they seem to have numerous nicks and post exactly the same stuff it is hard to tell them apart when the return in ten minutes with another name and start up again.

At least when they were in Outside the Box, they had to have a bunch of posts before they could return. Their posts are so similar, I am really not so sure that it is not a single poster with a bunch of sign-in names.

By commenting on UG's post as being ironic, are you suggesting that UG posts under alternate names? If so, you are effectively accusing UG of violating forum rule No. 26: "Not to create multiple accounts. Any member found to have more than one account on the ThaiVisa Forum will be suspended. Suspended or banned members found creating additional accounts will be banned immediately."

Ahhhh, so it IS UG's post. I did wonder. I suggest that the irony was as I have previously suggested..

Or are you here trying to get UG banned? Shame on you.

You are most likely the only poster on TV that would arrive at that conclusion. The answer to your question is no.

What would make you make that odd allegation against me?

You are the one quoting the rules. What WAS your point then?

[Ahhhh, so it IS UG's post. I did wonder. I suggest that the irony was as I have previously suggested..

The irony is that all the posters who have commented on the post - other than venturalaw - are as guilty as I am of the points that you mentioned and the rest of the post does not apply at all.

The posters that I was referring to originally are very guilty of all of the points and not just occasionally.

ok....mmm.... .... yeah right.

Do you know what VL's point was in quoting the rules?

Of course. It was pretty obvious.

All YOU BLOKES have hijacked the thread and turned it into another one of ur biatching sessions. Perhaps you could all sod off somewhere else & leave this particular thread for what it was designed for?

ps: all of you should issue yourselves an uppercut!

here you go

Well said ND.

This thread is regarding great posts of the day, or any other for that matter.

Leave it be!!!

I will respond to the usual suspects on a suitable thread, I think ND has sign posted it.

Just to make absolutely sure about this, and I understand it is not in the same theme as my last post above, but I have to make this clear.

I am not sugesting that Ugg has more than one account, I am at a loss at your thinking on this matter, regarding my post.

Can I respectfully suggest if you have an issue with my response please create a thread outside of this funny ongoing whimsical take on peoples thoughts and I will respond accordingly and within context, of which some of you have no idea.

If you do so and I do encorage it, I will respond to Ugg and his contemporary view on Irony.

Ahh <deleted> it, another thread, I'll do it myself.

As for the rest of it, another thread please.........

If you do so and I do encorage it, I will respond to Ugg and his contemporary view on Irony.

Stroppy!!! Stroppy??!!

I'll show you stroppy....someone hold my coat for me, please......

Whoa !! Hold on there big boy........................( where's Mooners our resident pugilist when you need him )

Stroppy!!! Stroppy??!!

I'll show you stroppy....someone hold my coat for me, please......

Ohhh god, here he goes again. Okay dad, give me ur jacket, walking frame and false teeth......remember last time when you lost the false teeth with all that huffing and puffing you do when you chase people on the footpath & they don't even realise you're tryin to keep up with them

Jeez........I guess I don't use enough smilies.

It was Sui that recently offered to hold a coat, and prompted the pugilist to "deck him"....I was alluding to that.

Guess I am just on another frequency.

Sorry.

^No old mate, i knew you were joking, but i just wanted to remind you of ur ailing condition

Did Zpete tell you I have false teeth??

B'stard...I'll get him.

It's unfair to keep hooking Harky and then throwing him back for another go................Either let him off for good or saute with some nice spring vegetables........
