Is this born out of the Paul Tomkins thread?

[Falconhoof]

It takes until the 4th but last paragraph before it stops banging on about Newcastle and Owen's move to Madrid.

 

Well there's finger on the pulse writing about Liverpool football club for you.

[Gunga Din]

good reading that Neil, agree with every word as well

[Guest AdamS]

I think Neil refers to this, a more common usage of homunculus:

 

A diagramitic illustration of the body showing brain usage via the enlarged areas that require more neurons and synapse control to operate, consciously in the main, subconsciously in the minority as that only requires stem commands.

Oh just your standard football reference then?

[Gilps]

Good read that. Cheers Neil.

[Rich Gobey]

when, oh when, oh when, oh when, oh when are the designers of this site going to sort out the layout of the main site.

 

f*** it, i'll do it for you for free if you like.

 

You know my email address.

[DanielS]

At last we now know who the funny one was when they did Alternative LFC.

 

Thanks Knox. Excellent.

[Scally the Wag]

Regular column Knox?

 

You'll have to work hard to maintain the quality.

 

Good read. Looking forward to Part 2...

hehe. it wasn't the other one either. two straight men.

[Cobs]

Strange in the extreme. Right through I just kept asking myself, why?

dictionary toilet paper, at a guess.

[wacko]

What is the problem you are having? (Email me at dave@ynwa.tv with your comments)

I think he means the general breaking of most design rules for making a site pleasant to read rather than anything that's "broken" per se.

[DanielS]

hehe. it wasn't the other one either. two straight men.

 

You obviously haven't seen him in a pink shirt.

[Guest AdamS]

I don't get why it''s funny; why it's "shoulder shudderingly funny" if you don't hate him?

 

Why would you find it funny if he misses the world cup if you don't hate him? I think you failed to address this point.

[Nathan Explosion]

I think he means the general breaking of most design rules for making a site pleasant to read rather than anything that's "broken" per se.

 

And that's why I've asked for his comments on it - I don't get enough feedback about the site, so it would be refreshing to hear what others think. Especially as a re-design is currently in the works.

 

feel free to mail me at the above address with any suggestions.

Thanks for the kind offer.

You don't have to hate someone to still find their misfortunes funny do you?

 

example - anny road is a lovely bloke but his gout sufferance was f***ing funny.

[DanielS]

You don't have to hate someone to still find their misfortunes funny do you?

 

Its clearly stated in The Rules, Section 4, Paragraph 2, Subsection 2.1.1: "Laughing at people". KYHRS.

[RP]

You don't have to hate someone to still find their misfortunes funny do you?

 

Exactly the question I was going to ask.

 

But apparently there is no middle ground.

[Gilps]

example - anny road is a lovely bloke but his gout sufferance was f***ing funny.

 

Poor example. Only one of those points is true.

Some basic errors in punctuation there...

 

Not a bad article otherwise.

[Knox_Harrington]

Some basic errors in punctuation there...

Yeah. Noticed that on the re-read. Oops.

[Guest AdamS]

You don't have to hate someone to still find their misfortunes funny do you?

I don't think it's just misfortune. It's not like he fell over a deck chair he didn't see and landed in a paddling pool. That would be funny. I think this is a bit more serious. Is it funny if someone gets divorced or gets made redundant?

 

Yeah. Noticed that on the re-read. Oops.

Tomkins does have an editor in fairness.

[Guest AdamS]

Depends. Tom Cruise gets divorced? Funny. Duncan Ferguson gets made redundant? Funny. I don't hate either of them.

Fair enough I suppose... it just came across as though you almost had a hunger to see it happen.
