apologies if fixtures

[smeariestbat]

what does this actually mean?

 

[Muzzy]

That

 

[DTES]

Before all the sarcastic replies come in... long, long ago in the earlier days of NSC there was one particular summer where approximately 5,000 different people all started threads asking when the fixtures were due to come out.

"Fixtures" became the slang word for starting a thread when someone else had already done so, hence it being shouted at anyone guilty of that nowadays. Some people preempt it if they're not sure someone else has already started a thread on whatever they're talking about...

 

[smeariestbat]

okay, as in 'sorry if this has appeared somewhere else'?

 

[Muzzy]

I thought that the op was asking what 'this' means?

Prior to that I am sure it was 'Does anyone have GOSBTS ringtone for a Nokia?' but fixtures is more to the point...and quicker to type.

Now someone needs to explain what Kanchelskis means ... goes back to the same summer, from memory!

Any new member of NSC should be forced to watch an introduction lecture on the peculiarities of the board, followed by a short test.

That would definitely confuse the new kids; they won't have a clue what a "ringtone" is, other than whatever MP3 you select.

It's basically a get out of jail freecard that you can present to the repost police.

 

[SK1NT]

We could make up a song for him!

Now, does anyone remember M C Hammer?.................
