I haven't signed up to follow any Twitter feed and never will. However, I regularly access both the club's official and B&WA's Twitter feeds for information, without "following" anybody. I pop in now and again, as information tends to appear there more quickly than on other places. On a Saturday, for example, the club's Twitter feed is where the team sheet appears first, which allows me to have a look at the team before I head down to the ground. So, it's entirely possible to use Twitter without engaging in "narcissistic" behaviour. Edited August 6, 2018 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintGlenburn Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Twitter is for children who have nothing better to do with their lives than gossip about utter shite. The fact that some rumours on there are true is as obvious as saying that in a mountain of shite a few flecks of water can be found. It still wouldnt be the first place you would go to get your water. It beggars belief that grown adults spend their lives glued to it. You come across as a bit of a bellend at times Oaksoft. Most of your preaching i find quite funny as well as enjoying some of your wee arguments on here with other aliases.Canny beat a funny c**t but put an imaginary fine line between those and choose the good side.

If no, why single me out. Away and worry about your own bellend-ness and leave me to have fun. If yes, my response would have to spread my legs, put my hands on my hips and indulge in a spot of raucous laughter. You want preach? I shall give you preach...... Remember the Old Testament. The book of Job, verse 4 - "Behold the denier of his own Bellendness forsooth he is not to be trusted to wipeth his ain erse" (I am not quoting verbatim here but I think I have the gistvof it).

Also, I don't have a doormat. I'd suggest a doormat for you, but I'm not sure they've got one that says, "Internet bore lives here".
