    My dad once told me:

    "When you open a thread on Boards you are guaranteed one of two things:

    1) Xenophobia
    2) Another brain fart by mr_fagelien"

    He was right!

    Never to open one of your threads. I should have listened.

    Why?

    Because you start all manner of threads, which you don't seem particularly interested in. A few short posts with rather shallow expressions of interest but you don't show any depth in adding to any of the discussions. Honestly, I doubt I've seen anyone that starts so many threads but contributes so little to them.

    Not all people getting on the plane are going on holidays. First thing I was told working in the airport and best advice I have ever got.

    When I was young my uncle gave me this advice- “ stay away from anything with tits or wheels as they’ll only get you into trouble “. Great advice at the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,578 ✭✭✭monkeysnapper


    Why all the hate for Mr Fegelien ..... if you dont like his threads dont open them .... simples....

    No need to be cruel to the lad .

    I'm going to give a few people some advice seeing as that's the point in this thread ....

    Treat people with respect and stop being mean to make yourself feel bigger and better ( bullying) ... I got that advice from my mother.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,457 ✭✭✭✭Kylta


    Why?

    The fact that you asked why says it all

    I think I might have seen it on TV but it's very true;

    Watch how someone treats a waiter when something goes wrong to see the real person.

    Who is mr_fegelien?

    Now thats a good question! My personal opinion is its some kind of computer generated algorithm with an idiotic virus in it. I could be wrong but I believe with some of the threads thats come out of mr feg, its a programme that goes to basic sex, drugs, stalking sh¡t etc which is aimed at some some posters . Bless the thing but it hasn't got around to starting one like (do you wear your sisters g-string, or do you sniff your mammys knickers yet) but i'm sure he'll get around to something like that. One flaw the mr feg programme has it doesn't really reply or acknowledge most of his post.
    I really don't think posters hate him(its a computer programme), I think they are annoyed that he posts a lot of immature stuff. But like one poster said already its down to choice you don't have to reply or open the threads it (computer) starts. But I think posters have a morbid curiosity that when the see its posts they just want to give him(it) stick.
    Oh and here is were I fall down, I believe in AH everybody should give and get stick on any given subject. After all if posters are looking for serious discussion on a thread i'm sure there are forums that can cater for their basic anal needs.

    I do realise I posted this in the gentlemen's club. But its in the AH that It (mr fig) gets most stick

    About half a century ago now I was sent an unopened tin of " Cymag " by my mentor. For those who don't know? That was a white, flour like powder, produced by ICI. Used in rural pest control.

    Basically? Shove some of this down a hole. Cover that hole like the devil himself was in there. Get out of Dodge! Because, the moisture in the damp earth caused the reaction of this stuff spewing Hydrogen Cyanide into the air.

    Before it arrived, he told me this: " It'll be in a gallon sized paint tin. Red and white. Get a screw driver and prize the lid off. Inside is a tin foil seal. Cut that off with the tip of a knife and ye'll see the tin is full of white powder. Don't Sniff It, To See What It Smells Like!!! "

    Think about that.

    Sometime in life you have to do things you dont want to do

    and

    Mr Fegeliens threads on boards are a waste of time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,170 ✭✭✭antimatterx


    Jesus Mr F, your reddit is as bad as your boards account. Chill out with the questions

    If it's clear and yella', you've got juice there, fella.

    If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town.

    Changed my life tbh.

    An uncle of mine was on his Zimmer frame going around the outside of his house on his farm in northern Ireland.. we just stopped to chat and he said that when we as children used to go up there for our summer holidays that they were the best years of his life... He just didn't realise it at the time...
    It was just an observation for him but it struck home with me and I genuinely appreciate things so much more now... Time with family, friends, my children... This is the best years of my life and thanks to him I know it and can appreciate it...
