Problems with The Ram Inn

[Geoff Parkstone]

food - maybe. For thought - not really. We few, we happy few need something to fill the time before football returns and have got addicted to the OT threads which are always giving. A football thread is usually topical for a week, the non football threads are permanently topical on a rolling basis.

So a foootball thread lasts a week - for 33 posts. That would be 1716 a year if it had remained topical all year. An OT thread averages 1392 and is always topical. So football threads contribute more. See, you can prove anything with numbers.

Indeed, lots of people believe in numerology. Take a situation, a birth date, the day something happened, whatever. Think of a number. Take the numbers in the date, singularly or in pairs, trios etc. choose the arithmetic device you wish to utilise between the various numbers or groups of numbers. The ones you choose will be the ones that get you closest to your required outcome. Add, subtract etc the number you first thought of to/from/by the outcome of the previous arithmetic and, if you're lucky, you'll get 666 proving that Florence Nightingale was a witch or that Mother Theresa is the devil or whatever it was you wanted to be the outcome.

That's not exactly how numerology works but it's not far off... if you're a conspiracy theorist.

Not really, GP. You see the ‘stickies’ are, with the exception of ‘Next Season Recruitment’ - which is high scoring for obvious reasons - not really about DCFC/football. They are, this one (Ram Inn problems, 54), Cricket ‘25 (26), Marinakis (48) and Transgender footballers (54).

It’s obviously not the right time of year to judge match day threads but I think they usually average between 12-25 based on degree of contentiousness and disappointment and because there’s only so much about ten blokes can say about one match.

My point was that, without the O/T threads - particularly the political ones - the forum would, in all likelihood, already be dead so I’m agreeing with AF and thinking best to leave well alone and long may the ‘outbreak of friendliness’ continue.

private messaging is disabled for everyone at the moment, which from my POV means I can't even send a message to be ignored by admin...

On the upside it does mean Admin doesn't have to do anything...

Dutch general election, October 29, 2025. You'll have to have a rethink GP
