| I been registered on here for a few weeks and dip in & dip out of it. One question I do have for anyone who cares to answer
What are people's feelings/thoughts on the fanfest?
I ask cos I do see the odd sarcastic type comment on here sometimes. This is a genuine question and no I'm not pretending to be someone else! Ha |

| You are Dane Bunney. If you are indeed said Bunney then you will disappear as fast as you came and re-appear soon under a new name. If you are not Dane Bunney then you will be assumed to be him for at least another month or so. It is a tradition on ATD that anyone new has to be him for a similar period of time whether true or false. Hope that helps. |

| No idea who Dane bunny is! Genuinely. Would it be impertinent of me to suggest Bobby Williamson was correct in his appraisal of Internet users? Or am I being as cynical as you are? May I apologise for my behaviour in asking a question on this forum |

| Now that we have established that my name is neither Dane nor bunny, I wonder if there are any people sensible enough to post something that is related to the topic?
I am sure the straw poll I have conducted, based on said comments is entirely wrong and there are some eloquent "posters" out there somewhere |

| Ah! But that's the rub because he always says he isn't himself as well so it never helps to deny it. And the answer to your other question is Yes.
Just accept that you are Mr Bunney for a while and you might last even if you aren't. |

| As somebody who was a potential wabbit, the greatest testament anybody can give to not being the buck toothed one is to not give a toss what anyone else thinks. Being remotely intelligent and being able to spell, no offense TCM, would also be helpful.

| On the off-chance you are not a multi bunny, never been to a fan fest. I imagine that it would be alright. Given the entertainment on the pitch for the last few years, any thing would be a highlight when going to Argyle. |

| Each to their own. Not my scene but if you like your music Chas and Dave stylie and count Jason Manford as a comedian then they're probably brilliant.
I do think the idea is good but there's an awful lot of dodgy conversations that have cropped up at a fanfest, usually from the VIP table, and I doubt anyone from ATD would be made to feel particularly welcome.
Tony Hooper vets the content of jokes told at the fanfests. Knock knock jokes are permitted as long as they are accompanied by the relevant sign language for any patrons that are hard of hearing, and any mention of snooping on fellow fans will be met with a bout of the self same hard of hearingness, which Tony has been known to suffer when asked why paedophile jokes are allowed when Tonys in attendance?
I would say fanfests are for the REAL fans REAL friends, and also for networking within the Argyle fans community. Painting a mural here, snooping on fans there, it's amazing how much work can come your way if you're prepared to stab enough backs.
Geddon you janners! |

| Well looks like I am caught up in some sort of inter-related initiation ceremony that you would normally find in a small village in Yorkshire! I thank my lucky stars that we are in "cyber-space" as if this was real life I fear I would be covered in feathers whilst being chased by people with dentistry issues carrying torches of fire.
I urge you to carry on this ridiculous ceremony until its conclusion and perhaps after you have satisfied your need to show us "newbies" who are the "bosses" then we can post without fear of being ridiculed.
Now, are there any normal people out there? |

| Jason Manford, top comedian, sent me some very funny texts. Like you Jock, I like the idea of fan fests. I like that away fans can attend and have to respect the efforts of the taverners in organising them and raising a fair bit of cash from them. Not really the sort of thing that floats my boat, but wouldn't criticise fans that enjoy them. Steve |

| I've been to 3 or 4 and have enjoyed them all very much. In these "politically correct" days, it is a real breath of fresh air to listen to a bit of harmless and topical humour. Sadly these days life is taken far too seriously by far too many! To pay a fiver for a pint, pasty and entertainment is amazing value for money.
I'd happily just go to the fanfest alone if the footie gets any worse! |

Talking of being thick, where's hairy? Stone cold sober again I'm afraid. I'm trying lots of different coffees for my new machine though. |

| In the gang? IN THE GANG?
If my records are correct, you haven't even had the initiation ceremony yet. This, amongst other things, will require you to wear a full 'fat-suit', whilst Angry of Mayfair does all manner of unspeakable things to you.
PM Greenjock for further details. |
