Most cringeworthy thread you have ever read?

In what possible way is posting on a thread mocking absurd posts akin to crying to your mother?

You either have a very obscure method of posting or an unusual relationship with your mother...

I'd say this thread was more like laughing with a friend about 'what that awful chap at work said today...' than anything else. It feels vaguely right-minded in a sea of frothing, right-wing angriness and cringe.

You want to know what is turning people away from PH. Not good natured ribbing. But ongoing threads like this.

I knew it would be that thread.

I would be happy to see most of the nutters in there banned but they haven't broken any posting rules. Time for a new rule I think.

We could call it the don't be a massive rule.

Oh the irony of your view on reality

So let me get this right.. This thread is a place where people come to cry about other threads? How would it compare to real life? Is it like going crying to your Mummy's?

It is where we laugh at divs, like real life I guess when everyone shuts up as you walk into a room.

No, it's where the people who don't count E and F as GSCE passes hang out.

You should stick to O levels if you can't spell GCSE .

Has this one been done?

Seems to have split two ways; those capable of navigating life with a degree of fluidity and grace and a sense of perspective, and some militant nerds whom I'd never want to encounter in real life.

Suffice to say, I side with the former (and done st in GCSE English)

Haha! I assume after my post?

If so, why?

(I may have had too much caffeine before posting... )

Tell you what makes me vanishing into shrivelled mess - reading emails I sent five or ten years ago.

I know you read them back out of context, but there's nothing like a good long passage of time to make you realise how far up your own arse you used to be as a kid (and where I say 'you', I really mean 'me')

Don't really see that. Most are just saying how things are legally, and that most employers would not care so much about the missing qualifications as much as the lying. Obviously anyone can lie, but if someone is proven to do so then they're providing evidence of being a worse candidate, so helping narrow the list of people down. You have very little information about them so any little extra info would help.

The Aston forum is an odd one.

There has been loads of bickering about after market modifiers. Some people have their favourites. It becomes almost football-like sometimes.

I thought Aston owners all got on together and it was just a big club? Clearly not, I wonder if V8V drivers are looked down upon by the rest! This is a cracker of a post:

an Aston owner said:

Knob eh? This is a public forum....if BR cared to ANSWER my phone calls or reply to my emails I wouldn't have gone else where......you tosser

[limpsfield]

I read the Aston and Porsche forums just for the spats. I don't think it is as bad on any other marque specific ones. And we all just ignore each other on the Lotus one.

The "arguments" on the AM forum are always about one specific topic.

And one specific company.

This,because now we ,the PH masses have to choose the OPs hire car for a c120 mile journey.

Can no one make a decision for themselves anymore ?
