I was talking to a woman the other day and her fella had gone to get some bread from the shop and not been back for 7 months, not picked his clothes up or anything - just shacked up with someone else, without a word.

Ha! Yeah Danny is coming across abit demented!!

He has no banter he classes it as trolling & then becomes abusive.
To be fair, banter is for cunts with no sense of humour.
Yep! Banter is for tiny bullies, like the ones who used to pick on my at school then say 'it's only banter'. Was amazing after a few years of taking up boxing their attitude completely changed, no more banter. Big man doing it in a forum but if he would never in a million years do it to a mans face

There's two types of people that use the word 'banter'. Essex boys and football fan twats

There's nothing wrong with banter as long as it goes back and forth, not just one way.

You do seem to have something against football fans though, exactly why is that? Am I a twat?

Travellers . shouting " STICK IT TOO HIM TYSON " PRICILLAS SHOUTING " OOOH , PLEASE " :OhYes:

Alls i can say is i want to be at the top , in the middle looking down on it , with a beer, and some popcorn . :yay:

If you live in Iran and you come out you're not brave, you're stupid.

If you live in the US or UK and you come out you're not brave, you're an attention seeker.

Edit: I don't mean if you come out to your friends and family, I mean if you make a big song and dance about it and shout it from the roof tops.
People always try and argue that if an athlete is gay then they should keep it to themselves. That it has nothing to do with sports. That their personal life should be private. It's a bullshit double standard. We don't expect straight athletes to keep their personal life private. I don't see people getting all indignant when Miguel Cotto's family or Floyd Mayweather's girlfriend are featured on 24/7, and there is no outcry when people read stories about Tom Brady and the supermodel, and I know that no one goes apoplectic with rage when David Beckham mentions his wife and kids.

I've probably seen hundreds of different people make slurs about Cruz's sexuality on various websites since he came out. Someone suggested that being gay is in style, or something similar to that, but I doubt any straight person would be the target of such vitriol due to their sexual orientation.
