Simply look it up or phone for the information. And please don't ask for the phone number on a forum, it is lazy.
I once asked Hibbyradge why he sometimes does this. He replied that he trusts the good posters of Hibs.net more than the Internet itself (or something like that) :greengrinQuote:

It is an acronym, but produced ah-ek. Like you say, probably a colloquialism. But the "A..E..K" is no more used in common speech or the media AFAIA than WBA or ICT.

Folk who can't leave football at the door at an event that has nothing to do with football.
I've had tickets to see James 3 times and missed them each time so yesterday I went to Party at the Palace to see them. The place was crawling with folk in Hearts tops. Who wears a football top to a music event? Even allowing for them having a game yesterday and people maybe travelling straight from there is taking a change of top or not wearing a strip for one game that hard?
The tops are bad enough but I got stuck behind a guy; late 50s, cheap fake leather jacket, maroon jumper with Hearts crest on it and ill fitting jeans. He screamed Hearts. Anyway Level by Avicii came on, which I think they kind of adopted in 2012, and he was like a bairn at Christmas. 'Stevie, Stevie **** the Hibs eh', 5-1 fingers in the air and flicking his head towards them as though anyone could miss him 'Stevie, look Stevie. Stevie, Stevie 5-1'. Tbf 'Stevie' looked quite embarrassed by the cretin and gave him the kind of smile you would give a younger sibling who was sent out with you by your parents when you are a teenager.
It wasn't just Hearts fans either. Small groups trying to start Hibs, Rangers and Celtic songs too, that tended to be at the station or walking up the road afterwards though. I love football banter but there's a time and place. Is it really so hard to enjoy a day of music, a few beer and have a laugh without announcing to the world you support a football team.
I was there too but never noticed all the football tops apart from one guy in a Liverpool top, I was maybe standing at a better bit!Quote:

I didn't mind it too much as I really like the new album and some of their more 'obscure' stuff but I know what you are saying. A festival crowd expects the hits, you saw the reaction when they played Laid, and it never really came.Quote:

Agree with that, Cast were really good, they were probably the band I was looking forward to the most. Shocked you didn’t mention mel c’s ‘dj’ set though 😂Quote:

Not just pastilles - find this with jelly babies, jelly beans etc etc. Always a preponderance of yellow ones and a lack of orange ones.Quote:

We don't really use any other 'like meat' products, but veggie mince and sausages lend themselves to a number of dishes, especially the kind of comfort food that kids like.
On a different note, I made lasagne for a friend who is coeliac. Used gram flour for the bechamel, to make the cheese sauce and it worked better then plain flour and the taste was fine.
James rarely play a set of hits, festival or not. Tim Booth is quite open about it on Twitter.Quote:

Of the 21 posts there was my OP, 6 jokes about Zitelli/the telly, 8 posts about periods, a couple of decent suggestions and 4 posts abou a clique. That was about it.
I'd be happy to debate if there is or isn't a clique on here (I don't believe there's a clique as such but we have been running so long there are undoubtedly groups who know each other abd little in jokes amongst such groups). As I said there was a long running thread about that very topic a couple of months ago.
That thread wasn't closed as an act of censorship and it's something I'll admit to getting nippy about. It's been an accusation thrown at us for years, with little foundation, that we are puppets of the Hibs board who manipulate the forum to present a prescribed picture.
One of them? Any one of them you mean?Quote:

Searching for a hotel on Booking.com and you have to manually select the option to not see hotels that are fully booked and therefore not available.
Not knowing when to show empathy or compassion due to the massive amount of con artists in our midst. It really has got that bad that I am beginning to doubt every plea for help or donation.
People whose default setting, without any concrete evidence to prove it is merited, towards any other member of the human race is one of cynicism and mistrust :greengrin

Take a look at the other boards and you'll see most of the posters have normal usernames relating to their name, location, job or another non hibs related characteristic. Why is it all the negative posters have uberhibs handles?
Surely not as bad as continual negative posts re Hibs? Sorry G :-)Quote:
