    If you can honestly tell me it is fair that someone should get a free upgrade because they have a PhD then I will accept I was wrong to see it as objectionable.

    So tell me what I did to AB's thread, I only stood up to all the silly ideas and people who tried to wind me up.

    You diverted her congrats thread by questioning the value of her achievement.

    At best we dont give a crap about you. At worst, we let ourselves down and react to you being ignorant/stupid/downright insulting.

    Ok Phil. I've had enough of you now.
    I don't believe you are real but I do find myself amused by your posts and the reaction they get so sometimes I join in. You have gone too far this time and need to go away. You are spamming this board continuously and although it is easy enough to ignore the threads you start it is beyond a joke when you hijack threads of respected and popular users with more me, me, me.

    Real or not please stop this. Please do something else with your time. This is the last time I will ever post on one of your threads.

    I agree Ruby pudding

    So anyone watching the match this avvy? this should get this deleted

    Maybe we could change this thread (why not he does all the time) to

    "How does being a footballer or a footballers wife make you a better person than someone who isnt a footballer or a footballers wife":D

    I said over and over again that I thought she had done well.

    Right,

    I am sorry if I ever upset you AB.

    Please accept my appology for doing that.

    I think a PhD is very worthy and an outstanding achievement.

    Can we draw this to an end now?
