    I just got a pm from someone asking me to thank two posts in a thread because they were about getting rid of all Unionists in Northern Ireland. Apparently because of the avatar I've chosen this sort of thing is clearly up my street. Has anyone else been canvassed in this way before?? Anyone else think its a little odd?

    It's nice getting thanked and all but canvassing is a little much

    Strange and to be honest a bit intrusive.

    Ah no that's bit much. Maybe they thought it was like Youtube rankings or something?

    What interest would the biker from the village people have in Unionists?

    Huh? No, I don't canvass bibles, I just repair the bindings. For canvassing, you'll have to take your bible down to ole Job 27:7.

    He does good sh*t.
