To "Fixtures" or not to "Fixtures", that is the question

If I had my way, anyone who uses the word should be banned. It's juvenile and frankly pathetic.

To be honest Notters old chap you are probably guilty of this the most!
It appears that almost every new thread has you going "fixtures". Eg the second best attendance thread. Which I would gather the first thread was on page 2 or 3, read or looked at by about 5 people?
Every now and then you just gotta let it go...unless its something like the 5th or 6th thread on the subject all on the first page. Eg if Gus wasnt to sign a new contract or something.

I quite like it. Even found myself saying "Fixtures" at an appropiate moment in conversation much to the puzzlement of others.

I totally agree with the above, not because Hiney is a Mod, I have always felt it is stupid, why should someone have to search for something before posting.......Stupid if you ask me ..........

I think it makes the 'fixturer' look like a bit of a twat. I don't think 'fixtures' should be stopped, but if you do it you will be regarded as a twat by me at least.

Sorry but in "Mod Towers" where all the decision making takes place, we have just now ruled this as a life ban
This.

Long may FIXTURES continue. Its the LAW.
As is the strategic CAPITLISATION of certain words in a sentence for emphasis. There was a TEXTBOOK one from Simster on the 'missing World Cup games' thread today, where he capitalised the word TIT. Newbies and youngsters could do worse than follow such shining examples (not overdoing it is the key).

This...
Could we also extend that to people who capitalise every word in a sentence or write everything in block capitals.

For the uninitiated, can someone please explain how 'fixtures' originated?

It is a bit naff. Why not just direct the person 'fixtured' to the appropriate thread.
The one thing that does annoy me is 'This' or 'Likes this'. Not enough to send me into a dribbling rage though, it has to be said.

Agreed. That is rather irritating.

I think that moaning about people doing it is even more retarded than the people doing it in the first place
