    Don't ever discuss ongoing court cases in any capacity, especially not if they're getting pages upon pages of coverage every day in every media outlet in the country.

    Make sure you give a clear opinion in your OP. Otherwise there is a certain joyless old poster who will call you on it.

    If you want to push everyone out of a thread just fill it up with long winded multi-quoted posts. Even if you have to quote yourself do so.

    159) Measure your intelligence by the television programmes you watch. If you watch Breaking Bad, The Wire or even South Park you're a genius of Stephen Hawking proportions. Anyone that likes The Big Bang Theory needs to know how big a failure they are and it's your duty as a responsible citizen to tell them.

    42. Timing; when you're particular happy with a comment you're about to make, ie. when you've really nailed it and got your point across efficiently or when you've laughed out loud as you wrote it, ALWAYS post it at the moment when it will be the last post on the page to ensure it never gets the attention it deserves.

    43. If you can make a Douglas Adams reference, do so.

    EDIT :

    44. Always notice a typo immediately after posting.

    174. Get advice on how much you should spend on your wedding. If you are spending more than €5 you are basically hitler.

    175. The same goes for asking about wedding gifts. If you are giving a gift you are basically hitler.

    176. Try to be first to RIP a celebrity. It will show how compassionate a person you are.

    180. Make sure you do not take yourself more seriously than you do in real life, so you can justify the quality time you spend here

    181. Contradict the last poster in any thread even if you agree with what they have said

    Then agree with that poster when they disagree with your reply

    Wash rinse repeat for endless hours of fun and frolics

    Always write weary when you meant wary.

    As in "I'd be very weary buying a car that has no NCT"

    I thought we could make a list of tips for newbie's to After Hours on how to conduct themselves and navigate the waves of sensible discussion that we are all accustomed to.

    *Warning, may does contain gross generalisations*

    Which, coincidentally, is tip no. 1

    1. Make gross generalisations, about everything and everyone.
    2. You must like dogs. If you don't you are a cold-hearted sociopath. Cats are only acceptable while appearing in amusing videos or gifs.
    3. Anyone who has a different view than yours is completely delusional, and has no idea how to function in modern society.
    4. If you hold a popular and widely held belief in something, be prepared to be called out for the fool that you are.
    5. If fussyonion has posted in the Dumb Facebook posts thread, do yourself a favour and read it for the LOL's.
    6. If you are a vegan, be prepared to be assaulted at every level for even mentioning it.
    7. If you are not a vegan, be sure to make fun of vegans.
    8. Announce you atheism. because how will everyone know how enlightened you are?
    9. Stay out of the Trump thread.
    10. At every opportunity, remind everyone how you go against convention. e.g. Call Facebook "Bookface", or "I don't own a TV, I watch everything online"
    11. Do you know everything? No ya don't. Have a read of "I bet you didn't know that",

    Anything else?? :)

    Don't hesitate to amend any post that doesn't fit your view. FYP

    421. Claim some form of disability, dyslexia, autism, no legitis, in order to excuse grammatical errors and bad speeeling.
    and post it in the wrong thread.


    :D
