Peggy's Mundane Thread

The sun is up, the sky is blue(ish).

Got this bug going around. Trying desperately not to pass it on to the little boy but it could be inevitable after Mum and Dad both had it

Some days I'm hard pushed to find anything mundane to say. (Note: this doesn't mean they're full of excitement. More that pretty much every minute's been covered on here already.)

Loving the new avatar, Jock. Now there's a little boy who's going to be demanding his first cravat before too long

Just been up the bar to find tubby bloke to buy firewood. €35 a cubic metre. Olive, oak, chestnut, pine and mimosa mix.

Since when have guests been able to post on this thread?

'Tis all the folk who've deleted their accounts. You've obviously missed all the nights fun.

Can we rename this Guest's Mundane? And perhaps put aka with the old username instead of guest?

This thread should be retired as a mark of respect for one of the best posters on ATD leaving.

Maybe rename it the big gay bears boring thread.

How the feck has one sticky beak caused so much shite?

Peggy has gone?

A erudite voice of reason and clear and concise thinking in a sea of insanity. I for one will miss her posting muchly.

I agree, Dougie. I haven't spoken with her but, to me, it was clear that she didn't leave because of the new guy.

Peggy had enough of Tring's little digs. For some reason he wanted to stir the shit again and seeing as she's been fecked over by Webb and Peter Jones over the programme notes and doesn't want anything to do with Argyle anymore, why should she keep posting on here just to get sniped at by Tring?

I can understand people wanting to let off steam at obvious trolls but Peggy?

With her being an ex Pasoti mod there are going to be things she has been aware of that doesn't sit comfortablly with everyone, just like being a former ATD mod is also going to lead to bad blood if it means knowing certain things that have happened.

I hope this place isn't going to implode all of a sudden. Losing Andy, Peggy and penz in quick succession is not good, well for most ATD posters anyway.

Son-in-Law's band has a gig in Polzeath tonight so we are childminding at Ivybridge be back around tea time new years day.

I don't think it will implode Jock, much as that would bring great pleasure to some.

If people were all leaving for one particular reason, it'd be worrying. But the three you mention, left for three different reasons. Penz has a quite regular siesta now and again anyway.

People who live in glass houses.............................

..... shouldn't hammer nails into the wall?

Now that would be a shattering blow..............

I'm just relaying the reason Peggy left. Tring was in the middle of a row with Nosey Parker which Peggy actually took Tring's side in, but then Tring made a snide comment not for the first time.

I know full well that I am not universally liked on here, but I couldn't give a flying feck if I upset people who aren't friends of mine, a bit like Tring himself, and I'm also aware that I don't know the full facts about certain things that have happened in the mod room or back when Peggy was a Pasoti mod, and I don't really want to know, but I find it strange that Tring had to have a dig at Peggy out of nowhere, and then a few others pipe up about this Cherry Tree cabal bollocks.

Some people will be happy that Andy, Peggy and Penz have all left recently, I'm not one of them. I would much rather all 3 were still active on here.

They're not so I guess it's time for people to decide if this is still the site for them. Nosey Parker, who knows Newell and Webb really well, from a distance of course, has decided that this is his kind of site so hopefully he will still be around in a few months time. I do doubt that he will be around as long as Andy, Peggy or Penz had been though, and maybe the whole ethos of the site needs to be looked at if posters like this have had enough?

I don't like every poster on ATD, but would hate it if I did. There has to be some opposing views and some characters who rub you up the wrong way otherwise you lose your cutting edge. I also know that I go overboard in my abuse of certain people which isn't to everyone's taste, but again ATD wouldn't be quite the same if I left or toned down my posts.

I'll just trundle along for a while and see how it goes I suppose.

That's what we all do Jock. It isn't that important and we do really need to get a life rather than chopsing every day about a fecked up football club.
IMO Peggy is far too precious and always with her, it is 'Me ,me ,me'.
There has been an edge ever since nool's flickr account was discovered and it revealed various comments from when she was a Pasoti mod, that Nool had stored to use against her. One of them being her claiming to the other mods that Tringreen has been posting racist comments about the Luton muslim community and the protecting of extremists.
Peggy is more than capable of holding her own and is not backward in coming forward when it suits her agenda. However, if rattled or feeling vulnerable, she always cries 'bully' ..........or 'racist'.
As for Penz, he gets the vapours about something from time to time anyway and disappears. Symons,good mate of Peggy, tried to help Cerbs gain control of ATD and is now concentrating on his Trust career.

Why is it that I get the feeling that the 'Get rid of Tringy n Rickler and you'd have a nice little forum' campaign , is resurfacing, yet again. ? You personally, are as outspoken and determined as me[ probably more so] to expose devious people and their activities but have not had first hand experience of how others have operated behind the scenes on ATD.
The publishing of the 'deleted' modroom thread, at the time of Nool's flickr account would explain a lot, as to why there are frictions between some of us.................. but certain people won't allow it.
Draw your own conclusions.

This forum would not be the same without tring or greenjock or any of the other regular posters, but nothing stays the same we are not friends we are just a fellowship of sad bastards who for some unknown reason support a really crap football club, one leaves another takes their place thats the way it will always be, and anyway they can always return when the tears have dried

I'm sure that Peggy isn't proud of everything she's ever said or done, only Chris Webb could possibly claim to be, but we could bat this back and forth for another few pages or so and each of us score the odd point here and there but neither of us knows the full story about everything.

Why do you think Newell would have a few snippets of things said by Peggy in the Pasoti mod room? Without seeing the rest of the conversations around her comments it's impossible to know in what context they were said. Just like the trouble that went on in our mod room. I'm sure it was a bit of a case of 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.

I can't honestly believe that Andy Symons, Peggy and Cerbs are these evil power crazy people that a few of you portray them, and you could add GOB to that list as well as he was the co-founder of Cerbs site, but I'm sure there has been plenty said about me behind the scenes as well, and other stuff that I would be surprised at. I still see myself as more closely allied to "The Cherry Tree cabal" than the far right view expressed by some on here. If that makes me part of the cabal even though I haven't been in The Cherry Tree ever that I can recall, and certainly not for 15 years if I ever have.

I did meet Cerbs at Tiverton, when I went to see Messers Newell and Webb, and we also bumped into each other on Holiday in Cornwall, and Peggy came to visit me recently when she delivered the painting she did for me. If that makes me leader of the Wiltshire cabal then I want my hat and badge please

So there are certainly things that all of us have said or done on here that we are not proud of, I know I have said far too much at times but we're all adults and should be able to move on from petty arguments. If not and you still believe that you have never done or said anything wrong, rather like Mr Newell, then I bow down to your magnificence and promise never to say another word on the subject.

If on the other hand there has been the odd occasion where you have also said or done something that you're not proud of, I would like to think that you are magnanamous enough to realise that holding a grudge to the detriment of the site is silly, rather like Rickler with Andy. I'm sure Rickler has also done or said something that is less than saintly, but who wants to keep beating him with a big stick over it?

This place is a mish mash of characters and demographics. There are quite a few exiles for instance and I don't know if you have met up with any of the other ATD posters before, or if Rickler has, I wouldn't know because I wasn't a Pasoti poster back a long and stumbled across ATD through Newell being a prick.

I would like to think that I've made a few friends through ATD though, even if only virtually as it were, but I know for certain that there will be more than a few ATD posters who consider me a bigger prick than Newell himself and there will be plenty that think the same about you. If that means you can't stand to share a forum with them without having a pop constantly then I think you're being a fool to be honest, Rickler too with his harranguing of Andy.

Penz had a pop at me once for posting a joke which I thought was being ironic, but I can see why he thought it was racist. Anyone who knows me will know that I am totally anti racism and it did piss me off a bit I must admit, but then after a day or two it just passed between us and never had to be brought up again. You might say that's rich of me as I've banged on about Greenman, Newell, Hooper etc but these people I don't consider to be ATD members.

Same as dickwads like Postey and other Pasoti mods who want to have a pop as they remain loyal to Newell, they are insignificant to me really where Andy, Peggy, Cerbs and GOB are not. I consider these people to be my friends actually.

I hope that the missing posters will come back again one day as I think this site is much better with these people. Not everyone will but that's life. How village would it be if we all skipped hand in hand through fields of lavender?

How feckin mundane is all that

Fwiw I was in the Cherry Tree the first time the infamous cabal first met, I had a chat with a couple of them, Cerbs and another I am not sure who, I didn't introduce myself as I don't like to mix Internet and real life, it's not for me but fine for those that do. Anyway I am sure that I don't know the half of it but to suggest it is some kind of underground cell attacking ATD from within is frankly laughable, it was a group of people with a few common bonds meeting for a drink. ATD is set up so that it can't become pasoti, it is certainly not a gateway to power within the club, as any copper would say, "where is the motive?" In fact where the fuc is the crime? I am baffled by half the shit spouted here.

There is usually 'history' with personal differences and as you quite rightly point out, there are two sides to every story. Some stand and fight their corner, others run off yelling 'foul!' That's all.

I haven't met any other ATD ers' in person but have chatted to Rickler on skype and tried to do the same with GOB.
Maybe you and I should chat on skype sometime, or better still, I'll meet you at Taunton one sunny day, for booze and cricket ?

If we make the date public, we might even get some unexpected guests. Now wouldn't that be fun ?

The little bit emblazoned in Bold is exactly the way I take things too, Iggy.

For me, Forums and ATD are my little bit of escapism from Real Life. I've got enough going on 'for real', to wanna get personally involved in forum spats. I look at the shit and hassles people have had on here and other Boards, and just think to myself, "do I want to expose myself to all that kinda shit?"

The short answer is no.

You can still build relationships on forums simply by interacting with the 'screenname', which is what most of us do anyway. I almost made an exception once, but when I was in Wiltshire, Jock decided to migrate to Cornwall.

Que Sera...

I did try to get a cricket freak meet set up in the summer but it just kind of came to nothing. I'm always willing to meet up with people in person. It does usually shatter people's illusion of me when they see me in person, but I would love to meet up Tring. It'll be good to be the one with the flattest stomach and most hair for a change
