well, g'day juicers.

how yer doin?

Juicing it up bigstyle eric with a smoothie

Football ...anything jump out at you yet?

would like to know more about levante game,
but it aint gonna happen,
so i'll just sit here and get pissed.

found squad details on soccerway.
will attempt to find line-ups later.
maybe.

Been out, come back, going to do precious little today. What time do you launch into your first bottle, Eric, if not already?

eric did you read the bf thread

bert,
already.

mj,
no.
where?
in soccer forum?

mj,
i just had a look.
thanks.
it's difficult.

Good on you, Eric, a man of your word

hardly my idea of a man mate.
just a weak,tired,old piss-head.

There's honest and there's stark, Eric

Even on your worst day at least you're not pretending to be a billionaire or pissing on a merry-go-round. You're all right in my book.

bert,
it seems to me that most people go online pretending to be something else,
projecting some kind of online persona.
this is the only place where i can be myself,
i can't tell you what a relief that is.
no lies,
no bullshit,
just me.
what you see is what you get.

and thanx.

Agree wholeheartedly, Eric. The only times I ever went online as a persona I was so clearly a persona that any fool could see it.

I did have a lot of fools believing me, mind (for those who remember, they were TGOSAR, the Hungarian woman, and Ronnie Gill, the Geordie who couldn't type). That's people for you. You sell them a dummy, they believe you. You behave consistently, they can't handle the honesty.

I'd point out that TGOSAR was in fact an acronym as well...

i can't be bothered with all that bert.
i'm just me.

It was "The Ghost of Sir Alf Ramsey". I created it because someone on Betfair once said along the lines of "But we're all just personas, no-one posts genuinely, you can be anyone you want"

To which I responded "great, I'm going to be the ghost of Sir Alf Ramsey" (I was still Bert at the time, which is my real name) and then posted

"WooooOOOOOOoooooo

We'll win it without wingers"

It caught on at the time, If TGM comes in, he'll ad to this I'm sure - when I went back to Betfair undercover, I had to use that name... I think he was the only one who sussed it from flagfall, but then it was an injoke for about four of us alone

Evening paper in Newcastle is the Chronicle, which the sellers make into "Ronnie Gill" when they bawl it out
