Thanks for listening. The nicknames like Florist etc are so lame, yeh we get it, Florist sounds like Forest, cant OTIB introduce an autocorrect function to remove these? FFS has to be the most annoying post ever. Why sign into OTIB and then onto the match day thread to just post FFS, what a waste of time and energy! Not so relevant now but ‘Little Lee’ used to do my head in, such a deliberately derogatory and patronising phrase to use. To add a positive spin, I do enjoy when the puns take hold for a few pages, unlike the Monty Python quotes which we all know and have heard a billion times, just in OTIB, but still get trotted out to prove we all know the script of Life of Bryan! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most valuable things my late Dad (a T&GWU shop steward) said to me was "Remember, sometimes the boss is right." A lesson I have tried to apply, replacing boss with the more general "person you disagree with."

Phileas Fogg Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 What’s quite interesting is a lot of the frequent ideas on this thread are all a bit of a hangover to the early days of OTIB. Calling teams ‘Crapdiff’ and ‘Florist’ and discussing the ‘Pray offs’ has a real early 2000s vibe to it. The internet has evolved and so has the humour - it’s also interesting that it’s a certain poster who’s been around since those early days (and is a dogmatic old relic anyway) is the main offender! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
