Cabin Boy??? Really!!!

Unread post by Onelife »

I’m sat here in total disbelief that two once respected administrators could be so vindictive in demoting poor old Onelife to the rank of ‘Cabin Boy’ :shock:

With this in mind I’ve just started a campaign to bring back Foxy, the only decent administrator this forum has ever had :clap:

P.s can you both clear a space off your front driveways…the sh*t arrives tomorrow afternoon. :clap: :clap:

I thought you said that you wanted a promotion - is that not what you asked for?

Hey Keith, stop complaining and start hoovering out my personal space ... if you could do the washing as well that would be handy.

David mate, :thumbup: you know my literacy skills leave a lot to be desired…I wasn’t asking for 'promotion', I was asking for a ‘donation’…as I’m campaigning for better working conditions for Cabin staff. :angel:

You haven't reached a rank yet that pays enough for you to own clothes ... your next promotion though will allow you to afford a cap so that you can look out the window.

Do not worry OL, David was playing a joke on you. I have heard he is sending your promotion to you via the company that deliver your chocolates.

I’m sensing a problem here Ray :lol: this is one of those times when I wish I’d delivered the chocolates myself and not relied on unreliable couriers. :lol:

Thanks for the heads up about this and just make sure your front drive is clear for the chicken poo drop? :D

Hi Keith, I know you like your chickens. A farmer friend contacted me over the weekend saying that one of his coops had been raided and he lost several dozen birds (myself and a few friends do a new year shoot on his farm to clear out the vermin). He has now asked us to clear out the foxes for him. We are currently checking the legality of it but I guess we could be culling another kind of 'vermin' in the next few weeks.

Killing foxes seems to be ok in Darzet unless you're on a horse at the time of the shoot :angel:

Hi Ken, there’s no such thing as a good fox, less of course it’s our resident foxy :thumbup:

The local farmers wife had 29 of her flock chewed up by our local fox about 6 months ago and they weren’t your bog-standard chickens either.
I’m not sure you can have a fox hunting party but I know farmers shoot to kill.

I know what you mean about vermin :) ;) …get rid of one only to find another has taken it’s place. :thumbdown:

Hi Frank, there certainly are some “queer” folk on this forum but rest assured I’ll never let any of them get one over me…or in me to be more precise :shock: :lol:

I knew guilt would catch up with you in the end…perhaps the question you should be asking is whether or not you and Mob should be punished for misuse of power… : :D :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think Keefie would be eminently suited to the job of sunbed supervisor, chasing down the towel hogs.
