Well see Magicfeet, I make a mean Manhattan if you're into that kind of thing. And second, you are the best member, but if you won all the awards now it wouldn't be a competition now would it?  Plus, you don't want other members to get down now do you?
Magicfeet, the reason you couldn't win them all is because you're here to boost EF morale, not diminish it 
LOL about the recount, good idea. Wiseman u didn't happen to rig this against magicfeet now did u? 
LOL because i'm not complaining

Magicfeet sulks, slumped in the corner of the Dream Team dressing room, clutching a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and the remains of his pride in the other. Rocking back and forward, occasionally swigging from the half empty (he is a pessimist after all) bottle, the other members can hear him muttering to himself, over and over... "Fix, all fixed. Awards should be mine. The wise man rigged it. Funny? Ideas? I want to the Boot of Gold! The precious goldy boot... the precious...my preciousss. It should be mine!" Later that day, Expert found the bloody, dismembered corpse of the philosopher lying in the Away changing room. A message has been daubed on the walls in blood, reading: "Golden Boot Winner: Magicfeet, Most Useful Poster: Magicfeet, Most in the need of Psychiatric Help: Magicfeet". EDIT: I am so, so sorry.
Congrats, jdefoe. you most certainly deserved the awards. And sorry wiseman, I wouldn't really turn you into a bloody corpse if I met you. I'm fartoo sweet and innocent for that.

I've got an English Literature A-Level. Though not a great one - Whilst teachers have always complimented my writing style, they seem to disagree with my policy of rarely turning up to classes.
And when I DID turn up, they kicked me out for not doing the work! 'Tis a disgrace, is what it is. I mean, what in the name of Maradona do they expect!?

Nomatter, if anybody wanted to figure it out it wouldn't take very long. And don't feel you have to apologize about your decision to make a decision. It was, after all, your decision.
Thanks for the reply to my PM as well. It was most kind. Good luck in those exams of yours! Judging by the amount of revision I've done (and the rather pitiful amount of work I've done all year) I'm sure going to need some luck myself! What are you doing, out of interest? GCSE's? A-Levels? NVQ's? Degree? Hope they go well! After all, a good education is so very important.

I may well have said that. I don't see any argument being brought into the thread. Do you? I was just thanking you for the kind and heart warming PM you sent me. What is so hypocritical about that?
Good luck in your GCSE's, anywho. They're a lot easier than people make out. |

Good luck in your GCSE's, anywho. They're a lot easier than people make out. You were clearly being sarcastic in "thanking" me. pm discussions shud obviously not be brought into forum discussions as u have dun, which cud potentially provoke an argument, P.S. using ur english a-level u may b able to read that I put "contradictory" insted of "hipocritical".

Um... sure. I've been trying to extend the Olive Branch of Friendship, but if you're intent on chucking it away, so be it. If you want to interpret my posts as sarcastic, that's your perogative - It doesn't mean they are.
I could continue with some kind of biting comment about your spelling, or something like that. I mean, how long does it take to type "You" instead of "u", or "done" instead of "dun"? But I'm tired of the petty jibes. I grow weary of this sniping. I declare this thread closed! Let us all be friends and rejoice!

I would love to do this. Would be pretty cool, but how about a whole new thread? Just for organizational purposes.
