Welcome back, [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION]. The witch hunt which followed the comment on the other thread was ridiculous.

I'll second that, no apology was going to satisfy people with a personal vendetta.

There were a lot of people with personal vendettas on that thread then, he must of pissed a lot of people off in the past !

Did you really just start a thread to tell us that an ex-Albion player's bar in Fuengirola is closed today? REALLY?
[/QUOTE
Am in Fuengirola so thought I would look up an old BHA legend is that a crime? Thought others might do the same and have wasted journey sorry.
Babs Windsor ex was Ronnie Knight who I did some work for in the 80s.
As regards the full english and John Smith brigade we avoid those bars in fact staying between Los Bolliches and Torreblanca, it a good quiet break.
If this upsets or bores you its simple dont read it and put me on ignore.

Oh FFS.
How the hell did I miss a good old fashioned witch hunt.
What other thread?
It also included that other essential ingredient - lots of people getting offended on behalf of others and then saying just how offended they were. Then there was the demanding and re-demanding of apologies. It was like NSCs very own version of the Andrew Sachs affair. Can't believe BG got a ban for it or that were people even demanding that he should. Pathetic.

This was the post in question:
It works, so dont knock the Daily Mail if that is your attitude I hope you become a victim of either a burglar or even a paedo for a child.
Yep, nothing at all to be offended with there, nothing at all.
I know exactly what the post was. I read it at the time. I can honestly say I wasn't offended then and I'm not now. Was it ill-judged? Yes. Was I offended? Did it cause me offence? Of course not.
But you are happy to bring it up again even though it was put to bed, oh and the mods then locked the thread.
I opened that thread expecting to read something about an iPhone, not to read comments like that.
That's all.

I wasn't offended and most on here would be banned for their stupidity, but it was a ridiculous thing to say and then get a relative masquerading as a 'friend' to issue no sort of apology was a bit daft.

Maybe not a place to take the missus - unless she is VERY open-minded!
But may be worth a visit on your own - especially with that handy cash machine outside the front door (so I am told!)!

Utter bollocks to call it a witch hunt. That implies that BG's comment was not remotely offensive to anyone, which is clearly not true.

Do you mean Cabopino between Calahonda & Marbella? Been there several times in last few years. Lovely beach and great for kids.
He didn't get a ban for it. He got an infraction, which together with existing points, took him over a threshold.
Fair comment. My error for making assertions without the facts.
