The phrase "
Dr Quincy MkII said:
I remember the first album I stole and it was my mum's tape of Super Trooper by ABBA. I used to let my mates get an album and then go over and make a copy. Anyone I found out had an album I liked really. That's why I loved tapes so much. I'm trying to think because I used to buy a lot of singles and was given records and tapes as presents. I think the first albums I parted with my own cash with and went into town to buy from Woolworths and our local Boots had a music section too, the first ones I remember were Savage from Eurythmics and Kylie Minogue's first album

The phrase "home taping is killing music" has just popped in to my head! I remember hearing that. But we probably all did it.

I enjoy being here, yes. These people are my online friends.
Not one of them has ever tried to sell me a cheap Chinese watch for 10x is actual worth.
None of them has ever posted something and then typed ‘I’m going to hell for this’ without realising they were still typing.
Not one of them has attempted to take advantage of me in anyway.
They don’t lie, and they do try to have a bit of a laugh in a dull, grey, cold world.

Meantime, there comes a relatively new poster called ‘Saintslad’. I’ve looked at your posting history. Almost every single post - on this thread and the few others you have joined in with - is
A. criticism of a previous poster, or
B. is attempting to disrupt, call out, or disrespect other forum members.

You offer negativity, nothing more, and I have enough of that. I have a small watch repairing business, and I also have MS. Sometimes I wake and my fingers won’t move at all, my eye is shadowy and I wonder where it will end. And I log on here, and see my friends, my online friends, chuckling about the insanity on Ideal World - perfumes called ‘Gammon’; watches named after defunct department stores that never sold watches when they existed; cooking products used to produce raw looking food that the presenters won’t even eat, and I know that this world is silly, and random, more than it is cruel. And I get through another day.
And just maybe we also help someone just like us, not to waste, truly waste their money.

So, ‘Saintslad’. that’s why I’m here. And if you aren’t ashamed of what you write, you should be.

Professor, as you say people like that just offer negativity. They never actually defend the show or their products, just criticise us. We speak out against IWs selling techniques, I assume that they approve of people being ripped off. They never tell us of the amazing products they've bought cheaply. So I conclude that they're either a troll or connected to the channel. Unlikely to be a YTS trainee from behind the scenes as they probably spend their free time on TikTok (whatever that is...).

That just leaves someone connected to a presenter. Could be The Goddess, or Peter Simon's chiropodist.

Prof, sorry to hear of your health problems but glad that you enjoy the fun on here. I enjoy it too, particularly when we go off-topic and talk about something else. They don't want to join in with the fun, fair enough. A few ways of dealing with them are ignoring them. Or bring 'nice' to them asking how they are etc, you can't argue with someone being friendly. Or be silly - ask them if they know the way to San Jose, or is this the way to Amarillo? I'm sure we can come up with a few good ones if we put our minds to it. If they try the same with us just ignore it. They want to argue with us not the other way round.
