When you're not drinking but someone insists on buying you an alcoholic drink anyway (after you've tried to tell him six times that you're not drinking) because they're too embarrassed to ask for a soft drink. I end up having to go to the bar myself and then they sit there in disbelief while the beer sits there right in front of me untouched.

Eamonn you are surrounded by some very strange people. Your boss and now people who are too embarrassed to ask for a soft drink? I'd take that sentence alone and put it in the WTF thread.

Mention of Godwin's law on this board, as if it even means anything.

In every thread on internet forums, the word 'the' will be used at least once.
                                                                                    -hardstation's law-

Who gives a flying fcuk if someone mentions Nazis? Why does the clown who posts the reply about Godwin's law feel that there is some neccessity to do so, or that it completely invalidates the original point?

People from the 6 counties problem with authority grinds my gears.

Agreed. Though even worse is when people post about Godwins Law when someone mentions nazis/fascism, for example:

Godwin's Law is a pathetic escape mechanism for cowards and Fascists (usually trolls) getting their arses handed to them in debate. It's nothing more than a white flag to give them time to think of an inane diversion.

To be honest, it doesn't actually grind my gears at all. I just enjoy exposing your hypocricy and then seeing you attempt to deflect attention from it.  ;D

And though I am disappointed about Sunday, I do take solace in the knowledge that we would have quite easily beaten London had we met them. Without extra time or anything.

My local chippie. Instead of saying "Good evening sir, what may I offer you today?" you are more likely to hear "WATTS YOURSE!"

By the time someone mentions nazis the debate has pretty much run its course and sunk to childlike name calling. Godwins law is just code for close this thread down.

If the debate is about murders, genocide, ethnic cleansing etc then it is probably reasonable to mention comparisons such as Stalin and Hitler.

However if a thread is about the local flower show, comparisons with Nazis are probably a sign that all logic has disappeared, hence Godwin's Law.
