Like Harry Hill, TWSpy isn't as funny as it used to be.

I don’t get what the joke is, surely it would look the same if someone did it to this site? I don’t get why Bish would give so much time and effort into writing it. I dont get all the unanimous lavishing praise it gets. I don’t get how people have time & patience to read it. And I really don’t get why anyone gives a shit about the opinions of a set of saddo’s discussing the game over the internet, the local derby game with the cheap tickets btw. (Saddo’s being defined as a person who watches the match while tapping into their computer at the same time!)

Does anyone agree, or shall I just jump off the Clifton Suspension bridge now?
Is there owt you do like apart from tele and computer games?
I like Harry Hills TV Burp! :mrgreen:

I also like writing the odd controversial post to spark a reaction, otherwise I get very lonely.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

I assure you, I am no better a person than any other human being.

I read it for the same reason everyone else reads it. I just don't find it very entertaining.
This may seem something of a hypocrisy at first glance, but how can I judge it without reading it in the first place?
Which is why I said after reading a couple of Spy reports to test the waters. There is also a significant difference in giving an opinion and preparing a feature. We should be more cautious about criticizing the latter IMHO.
Fair enough, but this all started with me simply agreeing with the opinion of someone else. I didn't notice him recieving this much attention...

I've been called worse. Monty's 'twonk' still cuts deep.

Infinitely more boring than the original subject matter.

Good to see that Batty is still a strong supporter though.

I like the Spy thread, but then I enjoy puerile humour.

If you don't like it, don't read it. It's not like the title contains only subtle hints of what is in store. Yon Burnt Bails gets a 'marked as read' from me almost every day.
