Those aren't even the right lyrics, geez you can't even troll properly.

Troll is being kind

Thought you could follow for ages? What does it actually do?

You could follow people before but that button is new. Don't think it does anything, I think it's like subscribing to a thread, though why anyone would want to get an alert whenever you post is beyond me.

Nah I follow a few people and don't get an alert whenever they post, so don't even think it does that.

It was probably just one of Chief's early attempts to make BF more like Twitter/Facebook. I suppose you could use it like a contact list to quickly message posters you talk to regularly but that's it.

Yes it does - per the Follow Alerts thread in Have you seen? Board.

Strange then. Glad I don't get alerts every time Vonn posts, I must say.

Wondering if there's anyone I enjoy enough to want to know every time they post.

Feel as though i need to get this off my chest, but just found out my Granddad died. Was diagnosed with Leukemia about 6 weeks ago so it's all come about so quick and fair to say i'm absolutely gutted, was really close to him. Head is spinning a fair bit, not sure what to think or feel it hasn't really sunk in.

My condolences to you and your family mate, I know what you're going through at the moment.

That's s**t news mate. I hope things sort out for you and your family.

So, what's been happening around these parts?

 

[MickyG]

I thought jeep were your car sponsor or is that only buddy's girlfriend? Regardless I agree that as a fan you need to hit them in the hip pocket - that's how we got rid of variable pricing.

No she's been getting in some VWs and found out just how bad the Jeep was.

This is just barely relevant (promoting the Swan's sponsor over the AFL's) but I'm on VW no.6 and I love 'em.

1978 VW Golf Mk 1
1977 VW Camper T2
1990 VW Golf Cabriolet Mk 2
1988 VW Golf 8v GTi Mk 2*
2001 VW California (LHD) T4*
2007 VW California T5* (current)

* Oz missed out on these wonderful cars

Great drives. Reliable and retain their value. The only other cars I'll buy these days are BMWs. I did own a couple of Japanese cars but, while they were reliable, I couldn't help but find myself wishing they'd seize up. Japanese motorbikes are fine.

Buy a VW, demand a 10% discount and tell them Bungee sent you. "Who the hell is Bungee ?" they'll wonder as you drive away.

Talk about off topic

Anything to take our minds off the topic of the thread bedders....

That doesn't matter now we're in this thread

 

[bedford]

I know , but 3 liked my comment lol

 

[RW]

It's not really a big deal, I just thought it was distracting us from our feelings of outrage towards the AFL

I've already had one massive distraction from the outrage from the AFL, the death of my Mother. It's a shame we couldn't win for her.
