I have a respect for the guy. He spent 10 years in a place he never jelled with and had the balls to stand up and say "You know what? This place is crap! I,m off" (my apostrophe key is dead!) Weather or not people agree with his sentiments or find them boring is irrelevant cos to him, thats his opinion. Same as all those of us here that love it can say we do, as can those who THINK they,re gonna love it rant on and say to him stuff like "you deserve to back in the UK" blah blah.

PB is entertaining cos it works everytime He,s also an intelligent, witty guy who calls a spade a spade and if people took off their blinkers and read between the flying insults they could actually learn a thing or two

But thats just my opinion
I'm actually not disagreeing....what I'm saying ...and have said directly to him - is that I'd like to see whether he can talk about anything else....the whole thread was getting repetitive.
Surely if he is that intelligent and witty...he can go above the insults???

Hello petal

Hope you are OK and looking after yersens

Yeh, PB was before my time. I have read his stuff and I respect his views as I would anyones although personally, I don't relate to them.

There are some people in life who just rub others up the wrong way.

PB seems to have perfected it as an art

Some people look for a reaction Cas. And they get one.

If you want intelligence and whit...look within

Why should he

Don't get me wrong i'm not having a go but he expressed HIS opinion and was heartily slated for it. He answered most sensible questions with very succinct answers. Theres only so many ways you can say you hated Aus

There is no need for nastiness...he'll either go too far, and get banned...but more likely be kept on, as other, similar people have, due to them being a source of entertainment to the masses.
Nope there's never any need for nastiness but as far as I saw (pages 1 - 10) it wasn't him (PB) who'd been nasty. PB had merely expressed an opinion about England versus OZ but some people seem to have taken this as a personal insult and then resorted to name calling, he however had remained polite, a little sarcastic perhaps(and in the circumstances understandably so IMO) but polite all the same

*awaits backlash* :scared:

Exactly my point
It's the amount of times he expressed his opinion that made it a bit boring...shame really....

Fair comment...suppose putting 'see above' would have been far worse

Still like to see what else he can talk about

Hi Polly

Good, thanks for asking, just bopping along, word got out that PB had posted - 30 odd pages in the space of a couple of days, good going I'd say.

Hope everything is well with you and yours.

Diane
