Look.
Listen.
Take note.
Burn the note.
Ignore everything.

Are you trying to insinuate something?

 

[Mojo]

I don't get it.

The title of this thread is 'How to behave on a t'interweb forum', which when translated into English reads 'How to behave on a the internet forum'. Clearly this makes no sense and should be modified to 'How to behave on an internet forum'. So HA to you, Oreo!

But yes - the video. It says "Respect the admins". Errm, as if

*changes thread title*

And why, when we're not respected in return, should we respect the admins?

It was a box actually - not a bucket. That's why it wasn't at all obvious that the depot's roof was leaking

A box, plastic, on the floor, full of water, under a leaky roof... of course it's not there to catch the leak, it's there as a handy coat holder!

A box (1), plastic (2), on the floor (3), full of water (4), under a leaky roof (5)... of course it's not there to catch the leak, it's there as a handy coat holder! (6 & 7)

1. It was indeed a box and not a bucket - glad that's finally cleared up!
2. How is the material from which it was made relevant to anything?
3. Yes, it was on the floor, but was alongside boxes full of equipment too.
4. It was definately NOT full at the time. Just had a little bit in the bottom.
5. It was not clear that the roof was leaky as there was no water really visible.
6. It was actually a black fleece - not a coat as you stated in your post.
7. It was not an accident - it was acually a planned comedy incident from the outset.

....and in my defence I was what, 15 at the time? Just a little boy







*hopes somebody will believe him*

It's Camon Dox, no sorry, Damon Cox we're talking about here, right?

So basically small boy puts slightly bigger boys coat into a bucket of water?

and this was two years ago....

 

[Tom B]

2 - well, you'd be a bit stupid to use a cardboard box to catch a leak .

 

[Coxster]

So basically small boy puts slightly bigger boys coat into a bucket of water?

No - 'Small boy puts own fleece into a box of very shallow water'.

and this was two years ago....

Yes - but Tom isn't prepared to let 'small boy' forget it

 

[djw1981]

If it was your own fleece whats his problem?

Clearly he still thinks the whole event was hysterically funny. Well, it was, actually. Not hysterically - but maybe a little amusing.

Well looks like Sir Spam-a-lot's back from the dead
