King Pitcos predicts the aftermath of the upcoming Dynamite Kid shoot interview from the shoot interview thread in on-topic:-

 

"Why ent me fuckin' dole gone in?"

"Sorry Mr Billington, but we had a report that you were working last week. Your claim is under investigation."

"A report off who?"

"He didn't give a name, but he did laugh and say he always gets his man."

Stunning, simply stunning.

This was fabulous one liner, but then he ruined it and apologised. So does this deserve a nomination or not?? I'll let the rest of you decide, I just thought it warranted a mention.

 

What the hell is the Brockbuster?

 

That was Buff Bagwell's finish in Japan.

 

 

Sorry...

Woyzeck responding to Flash's Radbourne rant in the 2sheds vs WAW thread:

 

who will never do better then blowin his and his brothers trumpet.

 

Huh?!

 

-ie cock

 

Oh!

 

What's annoying about that is that I thought of exactly the same joke when I read Flash's post, but didn't click Reply. Damn you Woy!

Another one dealing with Flash, this time from Gladders:

 

no but if i was the iron sheik id make him humble

 

You'd probably make more sense as well.

 

It probably shouldn't win post of the year as it's heavily reliant on familiarity with what a mong Flash is (and thus would have to have a big footnote if it was being preserved for posterity to entertain future UKFFers), but it tickled me no end so I'm nominating it.

Ronnie in the Gadaffi thread, replying to big mickey. The context is on the same page.

So, the ordinary people could have cast off their yoke at any time but were simply biding their time, awaiting a sufficiently high drop in the FTSE? And once the stock market sent the signal they dispatched the regimes of their dictators on cue, in preparation for forming an Islamic Superstate with the annihilation of the West as its object? And this ignoring the fact that economic troubles at home don't mean that the West suddenly has no military or weaponry, and that occupying a belligerent Middle East and gaining its assets would be a very welcome turn of the events for a Western world that is dependent on oil?

Nominating this from ButchReedMark in the Fantasy Booking thread as it made me laugh for several minutes. It is, and I quote,

 

Road Dogg, Sean Waltman, and Kevin Nash throwing it up Steph on a pool table.

 

So it might be NSFW. Are Paint images NSFW? Anyway...

The guy has admitted that he suffers/has suffered from mental health issues.

 

That's true.

While some quite frankly couldn't understand the reasons for my condition, others rallied around me, and showed me the meaning of true friendship. They would take the time out of their busy lives to talk to me, just to make sure I was all right. At times, I would literally throw a ton of shit at them.

 

People who didn't understand what I was going through would have turned their backs on me after these little temper tantrums, panic attacks, whatever they are. But these friends, these true friends, after having the proverbial ton thrown at them, would come back to me moments later, telling me they understood why I said those things, and that they would be there for me, to help me through my difficult times.

 

Plus, all you people knocking his writing ability probably won't be able to knock his confidence. Here are his blogs about going for a job with his local paper:

The Biggest Day of my Life

at 22:55 Category: Blog

 

Friday, the 20th of September, 2002, could be termed the biggest day of my life, because it was on that day I took my first steps towards doing something I love for a living.

 

At 2pm, I walked into Prospect House, in Norwich, headquarters of the Archant media group, owners of the Eastern Daily Press and Eastern Evening News. My reason for being there was to take their aptitude test, to see if I was good enough to become a print journalist.

 

Two hours later, I sat on the steps outside Prospect House slightly dejected, and somewhat confused about what had happened. You see, the reason for my confusion came about because of some of the aspects of the test.

 

Whenever I had approached wrestling fanzines, e-zines or websites in the past, about writing for them, I had always been judged on my writing ability. Now, in an attempt to enter the world of print journalism, I was being asked some very odd questions indeed; what is the square root of 27? What is the connection between Buffy and Dracula? And so forth.

 

I could understand why I was being tested on things like vocabulary and sentence structure, but why maths, and my knowledge of so-called cult television? This really confused me, and if truth be told, knocked me for six a little.

 

I'm going to be completely honest with you - if I was being tested on my writing ability alone, I would have walked through this test. Instead, having faced several maths questions, and some on ancient Roman history, something which I've never been an expert at, I now have doubts. I have a feeling that despite all of my efforts, I've failed this test, and won't be making it to stage two of the process - the interview.

 

But then again, I could be wrong. I hope I am, because nothing would please me more than to prove a certain troglodyte from Diss wrong, and to prove dozens of other people right.

The Biggest Disappointment of my Life

at 22:57 Category: Blog

 

Well, it's over. Today, I finally got the news I had been waiting over a week for.

 

So let's cut to the chase - I didn't get the job. Archant, in their infinite wisdom, decreed that my writing ability alone just isn't enough for them.

 

When I first opened the letter and saw that I had got the interview, I was gutted. I had such high hopes, because I thought that finally, after all these years, I would be able to make a living doing what I love, what's in my blood. It felt like I had most of the country behind me when I did this test.

 

But I guess it wasn't to be. I guess that writing ability alone isn't good enough to get onto the EDP/EEN team. Looks like my lack of knowledge with regards to the Roman Empire was my downfall.

 

So what's left for me now? I will always have a home with WAW, that much is obvious. A local publication, "The Crab Line", has rejected my work, claiming it is "too personal". There is the possibility of freelance work with a wrestling magazine, but that could be a long way off.

 

So with this disappointment behind me, I'm left with the thought that perhaps, this time next year, I should try the test again. Treat this year's exercise as a sort of dry run. Who knows, perhaps this time next year I'll be announcing myself as "Julian Radbourne - trainee journalist."

 

I hope he did get it the following year, poor guy.

 

Pity deserves real credit for this post. Some will probably just say it's mainly material that's dead easy to rip the piss out of, but he presents this like a great written stand up act or something. He's picked some glorious bits out with his emboldening, fired a couple of neat one-liners and I can actually hear him deadpanning. There's a shitload of brilliant posters on here, but he's still my favourite all rounder with stuff as good as this. I giggled my tits off reading the whole thing.

Pitcos is a pretty funny chap, but with Radbourne it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Even tommyboi would stand a good chance.

 

Perhaps true but Pitcos has turned a tap-in into an overhead bicycle kick. I'll second it.
