im not sure what fallicies you mean. i am genuinely interested in what you would consider to be illogical about my posts i mean i did simplify things for comic effect... e.g "there was a disabled person on catchphrase once and i wasnt thinking " i hope roy walker doesn't start cracking tastless jokes about disabled people or just start beating her round the head with a brick...etc." as i had no reason to believe he would and therefore awarded him the benefit of the doubt. i suggest you do the same." other than that sort of thing i thought i was ok As to the ban: all i can assume is that communications have happened off the boards, with admin, which have resulted in an impasse (resulting in some sanction). |

So what are Victor's future prospects?
Is he in line to follow the Celebrity this and that route others such as Jade and Nick Bateman have? I bet Emma is desperate for any kind of notice from the producers of these shows. |

Do you seriously believe that she does not know the diference between IMPOTENT and IMPORTANT as applied to Victor? And do you think she does not know the difference when applying it to me - by implying that I am impotent as well in her post when challenged to define it for the record. Quote:

His skits with Junior Simpson in BBLB were hilarious and wetted my appetite for more send-ups like these. What about Emma? What hope is there for her to earn some serious moolah? Jeff "Cheshire Cat" Jade is drinking all the reality TV milk money, and the envy and desperation should set off a plea to these producers for some of the action. Maybe her part in Fight Night is more injurious to her prospects than her fans realise at the time. |

He sat there so innocently in his vicar costume as Victor rattled up the phone bills via turning his abuse from Emma onto big Shell instead ![]() But she did cry - at least in the bedsit - cry with rage and inconsolable grief (as Michelle tried in vain to calm her down and stop her hyperventilating and choking on her own words) at been called out for what she later showed on Fight Night. Big Shell? Shell "striped beaver" is big? How? |

on the other hand she does start arguments and her pedantry is legendary ![]() having said that, anyone who gets invovled in a long term issue with her is wasting time IMHO (except the people who tried to point out to her that Shell and Marco were genuine and also any Victor fans when she was on a Victor rant I suppose) |

![]() Dany uses a voice machine and sometimes it picks up words wrong. I reckon "impotent" was a mistake and then Dany tried to make a joke of it but you were pedantic about it. I would have guessed it was a mistake, as Im guessing most people here would. Anyhow, apart from the Shell/Marco thread, I reckon its best to steer clear when Dany is looking for a fight (as misspancras was able to not take the bait in this thread when Dany started about the "wannabee gangsta" thing. Having said that, Dany was correct. I said "sad gangsta act" )

The point is that pedantry(sp?) is everywhere and after a while the sensible thing to do is to avoid it. I dont have anything against you, but I have you down as a pedant too and can be capable of starting off things out of nothing ? Its no big deal. I usually just avoid it after a while (I hope). On the other hand, possibly the board wouldnt survive the year round without pedantry. Its all about picking and choosing I suppose. |

And never needs to apologise either when caught out. Like when my keyboard makes mistakes and decides - on its own - to call a FM impotent. Or worse. As I am not dyslexic, what can I blame it on? Pedantry? |

Pedantry? Anyway, back to topic. Did Victor accept his award? , did he make a speech?, do we know who he is now?. |

And what did Francis Rossi ever do to you?
![]() Token Victor comment to stay on topic. Is he still acting the gangsta?, or has he accepted the malted milk of human kindness? |
