Walkman vs MP3 Player

But I managed to create an impromptu shuffle feature simply by holding down “rewind” and releasing it randomly
We didn’t need shuffle fucko, we painstakingly chose the order of each song on the tape. This shits all over shuffle.

A child, not long out of primary school, suggests a shuffle method on an obsolete piece of technology which no-one in their right mind will ever use again and mormanski brands him a “f*cko”!
Shame on you.
He is a fucko though. Look at his photo.
Walkman also used a precursor to the ‘playlist’ feature of Ipods. They were called ‘tapes.’
Mid-30s grown men slaggin a wee 13 year auld laddie (behind his back) for having the tenacity to compare an archaic gadget of more than twice his age with its modern day equivalent.
Disgracefools.
To be fair, I haven’t yet had the opportunity to meet this wee fucknut. But if I did, rest assured I would give him a Chinese burn and a good kick in the balls to scold him for his idiocity.
Plus, if he actually did ‘walk, man’ while listening to it, it might help him lose a few pounds. He’ll never get his end away if he’s a porker. Also seems to have a hint of the monobrow.
If a relative or the kid himself (13 remember) searches the article address would you be happy for them to find this?
I’m happy for both he and his family to read my initial comment calling him a ‘fucko’ as it was clearly meant in jest.
Not so sure maverickmcp could say the same though, although I suspect his over the top comments were squarely aimed at roochero’s faux moral indignation rather than at the kid himself.
Spot on Mormanski. That said, I suspect this wee cockajob has seen and read worse on the WWW.
Roochero, remind me again – how auld is the wee boy?
There was faux indignation initially. Now the postings are unnecessarily cruel and utterly cheerless.
I’ve made my point and don’t want any further part in this.
Roochero!!! Roocherooooo!!!! Come down from your lofty perch of pomposity! Your tea is ready!
Why should i gie a shit about wee boy who I have never met, will never meet, who chooses to put himself in the public eye and will never, under any circumstances, read this forum? Lighten up.
I think this thread and Roochero has exposed a valid point and perhaps a contradiction in this whole endeavor.
I have seen the stats and in reality this site is read by less people than have won the lottery in the last six months. Pretty much nobody.
Having said that though, this site can potentially be read by any one on earth who has access to the interweb.
So how should we conduct ourselves?
There is probably no correct answer to this. There is merit in the fact that we can say whatever we please and suffer zero consequences. It encourages free expression and often this free expression is a prerequisite for certain types of humour.
However, we do not live in a vacuum and ultimately we are accountable for everything we write and it’s possible effect in the wider universe, no matter how unlikely it is to be disseminated.
So how should we conduct ourselves?
I don’t know, but I can answer Maverick’s question…
“Why should i gie a shit about wee boy who I have never met, will never meet, who chooses to put himself in the public eye and will never, under any circumstances, read this forum?”
This describes all the members of Blur, of who, you do “gie a shit about”.
Sorry. You guys are right. I am wrong. Comedians like Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle and Jerry Sadowitz are unfunny and offensive. We should only have palatable material which causes no offense to anyone at any time ever. I am terrible person. I even laughed at a Michael Jackson joke the other day. Shame on me. You guys are clearly more moral than I am. I promise all posts from now on will more anodyne.
BTW anyone who watched Blur on Glastonbury on Sunday will understand why they are the best British band since the Beatles, without question. Sorry, is that offending anyone? Apologies to any 13-year olds who prefer Kaiser Chiefs. And everyone else in the world who shares a different opinion.
The comedians you mention have all been unfunny and offensive on many occassions. Post whatever you like, I make no request otherwise. Allow me to reserve my right to:
- express my opinion
- question anyone at any time I see fit
- not laugh heartily at any comment without thinking
- be concerned when someone might get hurt
That an imagined group of people prefer Kaiser Chiefs to Blur is different from targeting a specific 13 year old for abuse.
By the phrase “targeting a specific 13 year old for abuse” are you referring to the article or to Maverickmcp’s weekend?
This is my last post on this subject. Two examples of your hypocrisy:
Rocchero – famed for the Catchphrase ‘die, die, die’ when anyone attempts something dangerous on telly (particularly someone old)
Mormanski – teller of some of the sickiest jokes I’ve heard in my life
Wait a minute there…
1. I haven’t came out in favour of anybody in this debate.
2. I think Roochero can defend his statements of “die, die, die” by either claiming to be speaking german or by the fact the person would not be able to hear him. It would be different if he sent them a letter saying “die, die, die”.
3. The sickest jokes you’ve heard? No mean feat, an honour indeed.
No qualms about saying “die, die, die” when a telly show tries to pass off someone’s controlled suicide survival as an achievement.
The elephant in the room is that at school MaverickMcP would have given his left nutsack to be published by the beeb… and I’ll bet he still would.
I have – on both counts
