  1. what date was the last wrestling shown on itv, i know wos stopped in 85 but saturdat afternoon went on for a bit after that.

    Check my sig. World Of Sport ended in '85. The wrestling show continued in a different time slot until the end of '88. After that, there was a break, then WCW appeared on some ITV regions (not STV :angry: ) around 1992 and carried on for almost 2 years, I think.
    It varied by regions.In the Central area, we didn't have a break after British wrestling stopped airing in 1988. That was followed up by late weeknight airings of Wrestling Challenge through most of 1989 followed by WCW Power Hour which started around October/November of that year. That and then WCW Pro and/or Worldwide continued into late 1990/early 1991 when Central then started showing different independent groups for successive several month runs, and they included: the Global Wrestling Alliance (Florida indy show from 1987 that featured Norman Smiley, Jumbo Baretta, Rusty Brookes, Steve 'Party Animal' Collins and Cpl. Kirchner, amongst others);some British promotion (I think it was called WAW, and it may have even been TV tapings from the same Norwich-based WAW promotion of today); ICW (New York mid-eighties indy that featured Eric Sbracchia, Kevin Sullivan, Mark Lewin, Woman, Austin Idol and Joe Savoldi);and, Florida Championship Wrestling (from 1989, featuring Scotty The Body, Dusty Rhodes, Terry Funk, Hangman Bobby Jaggers, a young Dustin Rhodes and US Steel, amongst others). Then when WCW began airing on Saturday afternoons in horribly edited form, the late weeknight shows stopped airing.It's concerning that I vividly recall this yet can't remember a single match from last month's TNA pay-per-view, whatever it was called.
  2. What do people think about the WTC 7 collapse (the third tower which wasn't hit by a plane)? Investigators claimed it collapsed due to fires caused by falling debris from the main two towers but conspiracy theorists believe it's the clearest evidence of an inside job because they argue that debris couldn't have caused fires of such great intensity to weaken a steel structure to the extent the whole building would collapse.

  3. Also, I asked Morty to take this to PM

    No you haven't.
    From half way down page 35:

    Heck, this thing bugged you so much, you once PM'd me asking me to confirm at Smarkschoice, or somewhere else, that I was only kidding. Jeez, get over yourself. Or alternatively, just PM me so we can continue this discussion between just the two of us, rather than hijack this thread.

    Yes I did. So let's take it there, rather than soil this otherwise awesome thread with your trollery. So I ask you again: PM ME.
  4. Did I miss the point when a really funny thread descended into a tiresome argument about percieved racism?Seriously Mo if this 'racism' bothers you so much then use the report button, otherwise take it to PMs instead of ruining the board with all the moaning and bitching.

    I did report it.Also, I asked Morty to take this to PM, but he doesn't want to because he's a dirty troll who prefers stirring shit on the board. Kenny also has no interest in discussing these things one to one. He also loves trolling and flaming me on the board. I've got better things to do with my time than take the bait, and often I won't, but these two just never give up.The sensible thing would be for the mods to tell those two to quit trying to cause trouble all the time. I hope they do.
  5. Oh I know it's xenophobic, but Kenny loves to twist things and misrepresent them just to troll. Through being IRONIC~!, Kenny can get away with being as racist as he likes here. It's just like the old days when you and Ross would use racial slurs about me, except there was no intention of being funny or amusing then.But hey, you're bringing the LOLZ, Kenny, so you obviously feel that calling me 'Paki' is perfectly fine. I bet Roy Chubby Brown's your favourite comedian too.

    I'm just glad you've never used any racist terms to describe a country, Mo. Means you can really argue from a position of strength.
    I wondered which of the trolls would reply first- you or Kenny. It was you! Well done~!Anyway, you're implying I have. Which racist term have I used to describe a country?On the subject of racial discrimination (using your definition of the term to justify supposed xenophobia as racism)- The UN:

    the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, religion,descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.

    It's a good thing you've never made any derogatory remarks about religion or religions, Morty. Means you can really argue from a position of strength. ;)
  6. That depends on your definition of race, really. Besides, it's more funny to call Momoe racist, what with him being one of them.

    True but the reality is is that the "English" and "Scottish" are all from different ethnic backgrounds, hence why you cannot be "racist", only xenophobic.Ha yea well, eat your heart out David Brent!

  7. No, Lucas is our first. Just had a week off and it was the most time I have spent with him aside from the two weeks off I had when he was born. I usually see him for 10 mins before I go to work and by the time I get back he's usually asleep so it was nice to seem him properly for 9 straight days.

    They're an absolute delight at that age. So cute, gentle and adorable. You get all warm inside after a long day at work knowing you'll be going home to that small bundle of joy. It's a good time, man. :)
  8. Thanks Zeusy.He's doing great. Walking, talking and raising hell. Starting school next year too. It seems like only yesterday I came on here and posted about his birth.Anyway, we're getting a break from him this week as he's with my family in Birmingham this week. As you say, though, you become so attached that you miss them loads when they're not around.Is Lucas your second?

  9. Anyway, do anti-Scottish comments offend you? Likewise, do anti-English comments upset you as well? If so, you're best advised to avoid Kenny's Bawbag thread. :)

    Neither upsets or offends me, just pointing out how odd this sounds coming from someone who cries racism when someone dares to criticise them.
    :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Oh, and :laugh: Jeez, nearly three years later and he still hasn't gotten over that (and nice to see him pull out a thread from years back showing that even then, he was obsessive about trolling me).I didn't accuse you of racism, I suggested that your incessant trolling of me could've been for that reason (several people years back were banned from this place by Moo for doing the same thing). And considering the part of the country you live in, where racial tensions are very high, it's not the most ridiculous thing to think that as a possible motive.Also, whenever I've offered you the opportunity to talk with me (we've never met or spoken), so we can discuss whatever problems you have with me, you've ignored them and instead continued to troll.Heck, this thing bugged you so much, you once PM'd me asking me to confirm at Smarkschoice, or somewhere else, that I was only kidding. Jeez, get over yourself. Or alternatively, just PM me so we can continue this discussion between just the two of us, rather than hijack this thread.Hieg Siel.
  10. So you took half a comment from Moj and one from another poster and made another anti-Scottish post out of it? What was your excuse for previous anti-Scottish comments before UKFF v.2 and BBHG's post?

    I posted this earlier:

    Well, seeing as the Scots decided not to nominate their own in a national Shitarse vote, maybe there should be a Scottish Shitarse 20 or 30. Surely everyone up there can't be non-shitarse.

    What's anti-Scottish about pointing that out (and Hat Guy's post wasn't anti-Scottish, as you're implying)?My excuse for previous anti-Scottish comments? Not an excuse, a reason: I think Leon Jackson is the drizzling shits. Anyway, do anti-Scottish comments offend you? Likewise, do anti-English comments upset you as well? If so, you're best advised to avoid Kenny's Bawbag thread. :)
  11. Number two on the way for me and the good wife. She's due in January and we're off to get our second scan at the end of the month (at which point we'll find out the sex of the baby).The countdown to sleepless nights has begun~!

  12. Well, seeing as the Scots decided not to nominate their own in a national Shitarse vote, maybe there should be a Scottish Shitarse 20 or 30. Surely everyone up there can't be non-shitarse.

    Naturally. It's because we're racist. It has nothing to do with a surprisingly high overall level of talent up here, nor because of a far lower number of regular Scottish posters on the board than English, nor because some don't get to a lot of shows, nor because some just couldn't be arsed to vote, nor even because a hell of a lot of the Scottish posters on here are, y'know, actually wrestlers. It's also not like I suggested some of those reasons earlier. But whatever. I'm assuming you just hate Scots for the same reason I hate Pakis, eh? Oh no, wait. I'm not racist. IRONY~. So anyway.
    Mo, can you prove the Scots voters didn't vote for Scottish wrestlers? Given that you've no idea who voted or who they voted for? Well, obviously not, given you're just using any old piss-poor excuse to troll Kenny, but I thought the question ought to be asked.
    Given you're using any piss-poor excuse to troll me, I'm not surprised that you didn't notice I wasn't trolling Kenny. Unless Kenny has become the sole Scottish member of the UKFF.No, I do have some basis for my comments. Moj made the following comment at UKFF v.2 about Scottish posters:

    I'm getting annoyed with the Scotch coming in after every batch going 'I'm so glad no Scotch are nominated, we're so great'.I wondered about this during the voting, and came to the conclusion that the Scotch won't vote for their own guys due to insularity.I feel vindicated now.

    To which Hat Guy/Big Benny HG replied:

    Actually, on this argument, I was expecting hardly any Scottish wrestlers to make the SHITARSE list, mainly because of the reasons you hint at here.Scottish people are traditionally proud of anything Scottish, and will push them as being credible and comparable (or even superior to) to anything English as much as they can (see Scottish football, X-Factor contestants etc). It boils down to the age-old tradition of the Scots trying as hard as they can for the rest of the world to take them seriously. A proud nation, who will always get behind their own and fully support them since they represent them.I wasn't expecting Scottish people to come on here and start slagging off their own in the form of SHITARSE votes. In the same way, every year when I run the UKFF UK50 (i.e. the "good" end of the spectrum) the Scots have usually bombarded the voting process. When you compare the number of people (i.e. population), wrestling shows and wrestlers in Scotland to those in England, the number of votes from the Scots is always disproportionately higher than you would expect it to normally be.In addition, while you could argue that Scottish people only see Scottish shows and can only vote for what they see, I also see plenty of people giving high numbers of nominations and votes for Scotish wrestlers that, were they to appear on shows in England, would be instantly outed as inferior.I should also point out that anyone who thinks I'm being anti-Scottish here that I am, pretty much, Scottish myself....

    It was those comments that prompted me to post my comments earlier today. Kenny, bridge dweller that he is, then turned my comments about Scots being too patriotic to vote for their own wrestlers into 'The Scots are racist towards the English'. Which I wasn't, obviously, and you probably realise that too, but hey, it's a chance to troll me, which you love to do too.Still, at least something interesting in the Bawbag 15 has come out of it, so it should keep up us amused until Moj decides to do his Britwres Periphery Shitarse 50 in a few weeks time.
