Pathetic.
Oh and BTW don't go around picking others up in future for not being able to admit to mistakes as we wouldn't want you being accused of hypocrisy now would we.

What the are you talking about now?

What are you talking about?

You were bemoaning the fact that your lad tackles "everything that moves" and then went on to describe a scenario where kids were running around on the dancefloor at a party and your boy was demonstrating his tackling ability once more.

I answered that I find the sort of behaviour where kids run around unchecked in public places more than onerous - I do. (At the time I was in a pub in Wakefield before the Wakey/Hull match and similar shenanigans were occurring even as I posted. Irritating to say the least.)

You pointed out that you had, in fact, remonstrated with your son (despite the fact that your brother appeared not to share your parental values and encouraged you to stop). You then - bizarrely, I thought - asserted that you'd never been in any "bother" (I took that to mean you hadn't been in any trouble with the police, but wasn't quite sure what that had to do with the discussion) and told me to butt out with my advice.

Fair enough - I probably had been a tad rude, reading it back without the context of the unpalatable behaviour going on around me, so I left it there.

A few days later I saw your strange quote of yourself and commented. Then you started demanding an "answer". Sorry, I hadn't realised you wanted one as you'd expressly told me you didn't need my advice.

Now you believe me to be pathetic and are rambling on about my accusing others of not admitting to mistakes. I'm really not sure what you mean by this so would appreciate your links to the relevant quotes. Ta muchly.

My kids do as they're told. They're utterly ace and really clever. Pretty much as you'd expect.

So they're pedantic obsessed people too then?

Supersede.

When did this thread turn from silly posts and rambling slightly amusing tales into a full on arguement thread?

Previous incarnations of "Chat Thread" were where a lot of previously slighty antagonistic Hull and Rovers fans shared a bit of a joke and learned to like each other a bit more, which in turn made some of the rest of the board a little less bitchy.

Shut up.

~Shakes fist~

You cheeky young scamp.

Rolf Harris, wasn't that obvious?

Shut it and stop your constant preaching. Do not start commenting on things that don't concern you. Or Else.

Do you see what you did there?

This my origional postNotice the highlighted words here.
Now notice YOUR highlighted words.

If you want to pretend you were not telling me to 'teach them boundaries' when I had already pointed out that I had by telling him off feel free.
Or you could admit I had and you had just jumped in feet first it's up to you.

Give up, resort back to taking photos. I drove past today and the half towers are red...

Friend of mine's dad got a call from company trying to sell him a conservatory. He explained that he wasn't interested and there was really no point them sending a rep round to see him. But they were insistent, saying he had nothing to lose by letting them measure up and show him their brochure, so in the end he gave in. Then' when they turned up, they had the nerve to complain that he hadn't mentioned he lived in a first floor flat!

Anyone watching City's crunch promotion game?

The players are doing their best to create an atmosphere.

No, just watched Modern Family though. It's very good.

Quiet weren't it? Tension and boredom in turns, it seemed like. Reasonable point in the circumstances, given watford's better goal difference. They really should get up, but the result that gets them there might well be Blackburn's or Leicester's.
Both those games before city go to Barnsley - if Watford win them both, it'll be nervy.

Been listening to a lot of Ian Dury lately, The Blockheads really were a very good, tight band.

"See my tailor,
He's called Simon,

Ebenezer Cobb Morley.

The 'father' of the Football Association and modern football. Drafted the laws of a game that now bestrides the sporting world.

He was born and grew up in Hull. Is there anything commemorating him in the city? I'd never even heard of him until a few minutes ago.

Iron Man 3, in 3D of course. Downey Jr, and Guy Pearce for goodness' sake, plus lots of explosions. Can't wait.

Ben Kingsley will be good in too and we get to see the trailer for Thor 2

. im having to wait untill the 6th to watch it ,the wait is killing me

I love Chris Hemsworth, he's like Jamie Thackray in a superhero cape.

When is Captain America 2 coming out?

I've read about him before. A quick check shows that there were plans at one point for a memorial in the city centre where his childhood home once stood on Worship Street. Not sure if it ever happened though.
