Election Year or Fear!

Would have thought my nickname’, as you put it, is rA…which could stand for the Egyptian God of the Sun or - rather less flatteringly - rheumatoid arthritis. Take your pick.
‘Rear Gunner’ isn’t a ‘nickname’ it’s a term which just you, TTR and, more occasionally, AF turn to when my agreement with or defence of Swale irritates you.
I make no claim to its exclusivity so when you, rather more alarmingly, are found agreeing with or defending TTR it seems only fair to make the same claim but if you prefer ‘tail-end pig’ that’s up to you.

It was I who coined that phrase, your defence of obergrupenfuhrer Swale never irritated me, merely amused, but I’m over it now it just ‘seems a bit 1980s’ as the gen z’s say

Fair enough Anführer. If you say so, I really don’t recall. Nothing more than a bit of silliness really as there are times when we all indicate disagreement or agreement with others on the/any forum.
Imagine your ‘amusement’ must be similar to my own at your relentless and record breaking (?) spat with Swale although, tbh, the whole ‘gammon’ squabble has become beyond tedious.

I agree its become tedious, but I note that you either miss, or choose to ignore, less justified and more serious jibes made in the other direction which, knowing the originator, will never stop. I'll bear you comment in mind though

Edit: the Anfuhrer thing WAS amusing, see we can have a josh in amongst all the other stuff. As regards record breaking, it doesn't even register compared to, lets say, the '37%' spat, and I wonder who ran with that one?

IMO, nowt tedious about gammon

Nothing to do with me, AF…and I can hardly be blamed for NOT commenting can I?

P.S. Often wondered about the AF initials.
The ‘37% spat’ was, and still is, of rather more consequence than a petty squabble over the acceptability or otherwise of the description of an angry, florid face.

...which betrays your loyalties/bias. Ah well...

That’s just ridiculous…don’t even go there. How can steering well clear of a daft squabble ‘betray’ any ‘loyalties/bias’?

You're missing my point rA so I'll just let it go

[ramAnag]

You're missing my point rA so I'll just let it go

I would if I were you…largely because you don’t have a point.
Not even you can criticise me for taking sides and then criticise me again for remaining silent when you two fall out for the umpte enth time.
I have an opinion but, tbh, your squabble is too childish for me to become involved.

Hardly a squabble rA, AF says something that isn't true, I corrected him and explained why he was wrong. Unfortunately AF can't accept his interpretation isn't correct, but then thats par for the course with him tbf.

I do admit to throwing gammon in just to provoke him, silly I know but sometimes can't resist making him look a little foolish again. Anyway I'll desist, rather like Thicky's *******s one has to recognise when minds are fixed and deluded.
