I like the image of the tent, the beers and the grave. Is that what we are now, guys camping out in the ruins ? Actually, I don't think so. Does anyone else spot an inconsistency between declaring MB dead and wondering how to manage pages of spontaneous discussion that erupt in the wrong thread? That seems like a clear sign of life to me; we are like doctors declaring, "This patient is dead. If only he'd stop breathing!"
While I'm a big fan of on-topic threads in the music sections, I think the lounge has always been an unpredictable ragbag of posting - that's part of its charm.
Here's a modding idea that I don't think I've ever seen used. If a thread is getting seriously derailed, put a link to where the conversation should be taking place, then temporarily close the thread that's off-track. Not saying it would work, and it would put yet another burden on Marie, who seems to be the only actively-participating mod these days. She would have to become a traffic cop as well, waving cars down a detour to get them back on the right road. |

Complain about what you want, just put down the gun and end the hijack of the thread pal.
I have an image of someone, say maybe Pet_Sounds, whom we haven't seen for ages waving and saying "I'm back guys" and everyone ignoring their return because they're too busy arguing about why Stalin was a dick or something.

For anyone who is not aware, I had a Pepe Brexit AVATAR after the vote in 2016. I've never posted any 'anti-immigrant Pepe memes' on the forum, Batlord is completely making that up.

At the moment Benteke can't sink goals for Palace so I don't think he's likely to have sunk any boats, refugee or otherwise...

Make sure you let him out occasionally though.

God yeah I remember that. Now it's like "SyFy" with martial ****ing arts movies. You're looking at saying, what has that to do with history???

Everyone pointing the finger about it's not entertaining enough... Stop thinking like a consumer and start producing content. I work 72 hrs a week what's your excuse????

Take a look around and be the change you want to see, instead of moaning about everything

I love the way soccer commentators don't understand that word. "And the goalkeeper fists the ball out of danger!" Um....
