    Were you at their Leadmill gig three or four years back? Enjoyed it. Saw them at V in 2000, I think, as well.

    I'm here so infrequently now, I've no idea if we're still meant to be following a theme - and can't figure it out from this page. Stuck in Japan for more than a year now. Had tickets to see the only band from back in the day who I'd never seen but was willing to get off my arse and put that right - due to play Osaka and were an early Covid cancellation; so I guess it's just not meant to be.

    Last gig I saw out here - bit of a change from the Leopard ...

    Hope you're doing well, silverbear - all the best to your good lady. :ok:

    Edit: I've evidently forgotten how to embed these things; ah well ...

    Jesus fuck.

    Its like being back at school when the class shite bags would gang up and constantly bait the class idiot until he lashes out.  Embarrassing as fuck. 

     

    Aye, spot on.

    Put me in mind of something Dalgety Bay TA posted a while back so I went to have a look. Turned out he was replying to you - and it was pretty much exactly a year ago:

    Fuck sake, I came on to comment about that last two ties that looked like crackers. Seriously lads, the last dozen or so posts are a complete minter. 🙈

    Just the usual humourless cunts with their usual wind and pish Jim. Don't think they have the foggiest how it reads for the rest of us. Still, in their own heads, they are TA "characters" so that's all that matters.

    Nowt's changed in a year. What a fucking joke this place has become ...

    Might have been a wee bit different with a cup final, play-offs plus either fallout from international play-offs or build up to Euro 2020.

    Aye, that's true, right enough.

    Still, looking at the front page, seems that no one's been allowed to register since February, which means we went into lockdown impressively early. Maybe them in charge are just waiting for us to all die off.

    Well, I'm not sure how useful this is, but I've been making rough estimates (the imperfect methodology is explained here) of posting quantity for the month of May over the past few years:

    May 2009: 21,292 posts

    May 2010: 16,895 posts (I think Reeky Sporran might have been suspended)

    May 2011: 24,602 posts

    May 2012: 19,106 posts

    May 2013: 14,696 posts

    May 2014: 17,434 posts

    May 2015: 17,943 posts

    May 2016: 9,505 posts

    May 2017: 6160 posts

    Now, we could average Fringo's daily averages (163.5) and multiply by 31 giving us 5,068 but that's hardly fair as there appears to have been a line-of-best-fit rise in posting over the three-month spread of Fringo's analysis. What we need is for someone to take the daily numbers for 31 consecutive days, and Fringo's clearly the man to do it :ok:
