Ostrich is definitely new troll of the year 2017 and near the top of the Tokyo love list. ---

I’m interested in if TMO is actually a double account for Bearsy, or is it just that the Bear’s hand is so far up TMO’s arse that they’ve become ‘one’. TMO be your own ostrich, not a puppet. ---

I think you are confusing the forum with Tramp Fight Club. And that thread was nowhere near as interesting as a homeless street scrap. ---

omg ur such a chapel kate. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but watching two retards fight over a paedo is v.much in my field of interest, and exactly what I had in mind when I signed up to this frm. Besides, if they can’t fight it out on Designated Thread, it’s only gonna overspill to ur brexit threads, and then u won’t be So Happy! ---

As much as it kills me to admit it, Bear has a point. We need a thread where two posters can take lumps out of each other over a BEEF without polluting the _sensible_ threads. ---

I don’t think it works like that. These aren’t professional fighters, you can’t put them on the card at an official, state sponsored event, and expect them to Turn Up. It has to be more organic. You have to tempt them to some other event, and then slyly raise the temperature with passive aggressive digs, and pint-spilling, until they finally lose it and start rutting in the uncleaned lavatories.
