You know how with some bands there's rather more to them than initially meets the eye (or ear)?
Well, The Manic Street Preachers are the antithesis of this. There really is nothing there. And titles like Interiors (Song For Willem DeKooning)simply say "Look at me, I know about art an that" when the song itself has nothing to say.

Are you this boring in real life?
I know that a different side of peoples personality often comes out in forums like this, but it's usually more extroverted than their real life persona.

Yes, yes I am. Which makes it all the more puzzling why, every time I post you're right there behind me.

This is curious though isn't it
I'm here a lot, as you all know, and I reply to a lot of peoples posts, but they never accuse me of following them around the board. But because I'm pointing out what an incredibly boring person he appears to be, that makes me a stalker.

unless he is saying you are actually behind him
in which case he should probably be worried that someone impersonating you is in his house or office.

Heh. If only Barry had thought of that. He could've been spared a lot of hassle.

It just seems odd that you would bother to reply to someone you find so dull, using the same joke each time.

Do you actually read the posts here?
This entire board is about using the same old jokes, that and ranting about people you hate, the occasional political debate and saying how much we like Tayyabs.

The other big thing done on these boards is insulting people, either for things they clearly haven't done, like being a smug cunt a la Vipros, or in your case, for being almost offensively dull. Most people take this in good humour, even the really horrifically offensive stuff, since this is a comedy website, where people generally want to read funny things, but you don't seem to get this.

And quite honestly, knowing that it winds you up is the reason I keep pointing out that you are actually less interesting than piston broke, because at least he goes along with it.

But you're the one getting wound up. Anytime I respond to your joke, you then go into serious mode, as seen above..
Also you're mixing up "not getting" with "finding a bit dull".

I'm not sure I've ever seen him wound-up

It was not my finest hour and since then I've made a point of not taking the internet too seriously. Except when discussing the Tories.

Your responses are always along the lines of
same old boring reply etc.

Now if that's your idea of a witty comeback, or playing along with the joke, then you're simply proving my point about how dull you are.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 14 May 2010, 11:59, Reply)

So you making the same joke constantly is an ace laugh. Me responing to the same joke with the same sort of line each time is dull.
I just find you boring. Sorry.
(Cave Duck, Fri 14 May 2010, 12:09, Reply)

stop reacting in the same way
and more than likely he'll stop making the same joke.

either that or ignore the joke and carry on a conversation.

He can't let it go now
he's too enraged, crouched over his keyboard, fists shaking in impotent anger. Any minute now he'll go and beat up a woman to prove he's still got what it takes.
