Poll
Question:
Who is the angriest?
Option 1: Pints of Guinness
votes: 16
Option 2: Snowed Under
votes: 14
Option 3: Too scared to say
votes: 10
It's a well known fact that we all have, to a greater or lesser degree, a morbid fascination with violence and bloodletting. From the old Granny prepared to throw her false teeth at Mick McManus the wrestler, to the vast number of neutrals who queue up at turnstiles to get a glimpse off GAA matches such as Kilcoo v Castlewellan or Cullyhanna v everyone, to the kinky gent glued to the female mud fighting on the Men and Motors channel all get a kick of watching two or more warriors slugging it out.
And this GAA Board is no different. Over the past number of months we've witnessed various spats most of which fall into the handbags at 40 paces category, however more recently we've seen a war develop, and fought through various threads, involving Pints of Guinness and Snowed Under fought at an intensity that would have Ger Cavlan and the Farmers Boys running for ringside seats.
Both are angry men, and some of us who have dared to step in between them have been hit with a stray blow or two, but who is the angriest? Might it be Pints of Guinness who hails from Silverbridge and is a self confessed hater of almost everything, or perhaps Snowed Under who hails from ...... Chez Snowed Under...... an overworked protector of the young mother wishing only to display a Baby on Board sticker on the rear window of her Volvo estate and struggling to manoeuvre her kids through crowded shopping centre car parks.
Get out there and vote in this latest poll as we try to establish who is the angrier Pints or Snowed
You're the only one that shouts his own name ;)

::) :o :o You have no idea how silly that statement is, as I said I treat this board and internet warriors like yourself on it exactly for what it is, imagine how uttlerly bizarre it is to see so many people fascinated with two members posts, who like ONeill list of members could for all intentional purposes be the same person. :-* :-*
:D
I voted POG the man's be angry for longer for snowed under it could be a passing phase :)
I'd say Pints is grumpier and Snowed is angrier.
Grumpy is good.
Good post TMQ. There's too little humour around here. And Snowed Under seems to be the Joan Burton of the board - a kind of anti-matter to humour. He seems to have the ability to suck the humour out of any situation and wipe the smile off a whole community.
All Pints needs is a good ride. "Release the fury" ;) :D
Yeah, Pints isn't angry, he's grumpy - I thought that had been established in the distant past.
And Hardy, prepare yourself for an onslaught of joyful anecdotes from Shamrock Shore on the wonderfulness of Deputy Burton. Did you know that her brother was Bosco's (yes that Bosco) mate on the telly. ;)
Excellent post Mr Mighty! :D :D
Pints is the grumpiest bollocks I've ever come across! As Armagh4Sam famously said "Get yourself a girlfriend and take your anger out on her!"
Billy - you're not serious! Is there any chance we could put her in a box like Bosco? And nail down the lid.
Hardy, just out of interest like, is there anybody you actually *do* like? ;) (Apart from the lads on your signature)
Grumpy aul' Meath hoor :D
AZ - I'll have a think about it. I'm sure I'll come up with somebody.

Whilst you're the school master of the board, Jesus really did weep!
Who would qualify as an "internet warrior" in your opinion Snowed Under?
Is it a guy who is argumentative, or someone who posts a lot?

(I'd say ringmaster was more appropriate, btw - except I'm not in charge of anything, of course).

People who actually think what they post here matters; especially those hung up on spelling and grammer - ffs. :o Society is such now that you email your mates, msn those sitting next to you - surf the net, post on discussion boards etc - it passes some time granted but come on there are some serious warriors on this board, it's like their second home and in some cases their first. ;)

Why do people think Pints is angry. I agree with 99 percent of what he says and just because people don't they think he is angry?
As I said before, say his name three times into a mirror at midnight and see what happens!

Thank you Corn!!!!
I was going to ask at lunch time for someone to point out what I've ever said or complained about that's unreasonable but then I didn't bother and you asked the question for me.
It's a pity no one could answer, but it says a lot.
Yeah, I've always found Pints pretty reasonable. At least he backs his point of view up with facts.
Well it would seem that there's a late surge of support coming in for Pints. Possibly the fact that Snowed seems to want to engage in guerilla warfare with anyone who makes a comment about him on this thread might be a factor. In that regard could I suggest that potential voters post a comment before casting their vote that way they can await the response from the member and this might help them make an informed decision on their vote. If that makes sense

I never knew if Pints said - "
because I say so" - counted as facts. ???

You are the Billie Piper of the board:
Why do we have to slap our kids - cause I want to, cause I want to.
Why do I park in allocated spaces - cause I want to, cause I want to.
modified this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhh etc etc!! ::)
I think you'll find I made numerous arguments supporting my views of all of the above.

No I'm quite shy. :-[
There's been an exciting development on the F*cking Insane Thread. Pints has been able to establish the thread and make 2 postings without any reaction from Snowed!! Could some sort of truce be on the cards?

::) That was obviously lost on you!
In fairness to Pints, you may not agree with his thoughts, but he will at least explain why he has them. Whereas Snowed will start name calling immediately if he disagrees.
The child slapping thing for example, I said I approve, only of a light slap accross the legs, and was immediately called a bully.
Fair play to Snowed whose attacks on those posting messages on this thread have obviously contributed to a great increase in his vote. They're now running almost neck and neck
I have to say that I agree with a lot of what pints says on a lot of topics.
Well then stick in a vote for Snowed
Perhaps some of those exercised by Snowed's antics might want to vote here
