You go into a supermarket to buy an essential item, eg bread. They also sell pot noodles, and you like them. Are you supposed to ignore them? I don't consider going in specifically to buy PNs an essential item.
There are actually some (not just on DS) who think that way. I remember one poster in the Coronavirus thread proudly proclaiming that she hadn't brought any non-essential items in the shops since early last year, which is way OTT.

Why? Pot Noodle =75p Take away Noodles £4.50...think about it. Not everybody can afford it.
I think you may have missed the satire in my post. 🙂

there was someone called Kwynne on the ED thread , who would pour over every single comment and answer them all the next day, usually after watching the episode so he could then say to people "no you are wrong" i think he thought he was being clever, but he wouldnt use multi-quotes , he would answer them all individually, so the next day you got pages of waffle :D usually acerbic with no sense of humour
carl.waring is terrible for multi-quotes. I remember having many arguments with him over the gadget show years ago and he would literally take a two or three sentence post and break it down into at least half a dozen quotes. He's one of the few people I won't ever respond to on DS.

I remember him being a nightmare when DS allowed comments on news articles (if you can call them that) on their front page. The guy was obsessive when it came to piracy issues, he was even given the opportunity to create his own article on the subject. He's a titanic bore.

SurrenderBill is quite a piece of work isn't he?
i agree, there are some people i would like to meet in real life, just to see if they can still be the same utter **** to my face, some people really do take liberties behind a keyboard.

Because ive got quite a few friends on DS i always pictured DS being a room in a pub or something and you were chatting to them minding your own business, now i would never walk past someone and butt in to make a snarky comment in that situation, as one its rude and two if you pick the wrong person you have trouble, the fact people like him has the utter ignorance of his own personality makes me wonder how many people have punched him irl, my guess is he isnt like it in real life, otherwise he would have learned by now, so i think he uses the hiding behind the keyboard as a way to make himself feel superior, which just means in real life he is an utter **** and coward.

You arent allowed to put people in their place on DS though, yet they are allowed to be utter ****s to people with no real consequence, which really annoys me, another reason i had to come away and leave DS

He was having a pop at people for travelling abroad to see sick relatives earlier. Utter bleep (I wish I could say that on DS).

And today's Digital thicko is..... 🥁 🥁 🥁
i reckon thats Boris Johnson, i bet if you search DS you will find other questions like that and then a week after we saw them implemented

March 2020 : "ive got an idea , its to put the whole country in a semi permanent state of lockdown for a whole year, and even when the numbers show its safe i wont let them out, i will however allow someone close to me visit castles and drive whilst thinking they are blind and do nothing, i will also allow a friend to hand out 30 million pounds to a pub landlord he knows to distribute important PPE, costing thousands of lives in the process , what do you think DS"

Covid Thread " yes thats the best idea ever"

thats the thing , he is allowed a vile opinion because he is self righteous, he must have spent every day of this calendar year indoors and spoke to know one to have opinions like that , if he has stepped one foot outside then going by his own twisted logic he is just as bad and just as likely to pass on the virus.

Yet tell the truth and call him a bleep and you would be banned, calling him that is not even libel as its fact :D

A real annoyance about Digital Spy is that it takes a while for a thread to get going. A new thread which sounds quite interesting will normally go like this -

What's your favourite Pot Noodle flavour?

Another pointless thread (Macca)
None! Next!
Why do we need this again? It was discussed at length in 2006
I don't eat Pot Noodles because I once slept with a guy that asked if he could cover my body in noodles but I didn't want my designer gear to be stained (Tanya)
Where is your evidence that people actually like Pot Noodles? (Jurassic Mark)

By Page 2 the discussion will eventually get going.
Excellent post. You could possibly add walterwhite wading in, with what do you mean by 'flavour'?
Whedonite would have to appear too, least said about her the better...but seeing that this thread is being watched, let's boost her ego a little with a name drop...

If I ever want to get myself banned I might come out and say that to someone like him (I know a way around DS's swear filter).

Who have been some of the more 'Disturbing and 'Unsettling' posters on DS over the years?

The biggest one I can think of is Lee morris.

Can't remember the name, but there was one user who had had a pretty solid posting history. When the story broke about the bloke knocking this girl out outside a nightclub some years back, he posted in the thread how glad he was that she'd been "put in her place" and how she deserved it for "sticking her nose in".

Really angry stuff, and this was at around 10am in the morning in midweek as well so no excuses about being pissed on a weekend or anything like that. The post was deleted soon afterwards and he was banned but I don't know if he ever got back on.

Remember when DS had blogs? There was a guy, whose name escapes me now, who wrote a blog post about how he hated women so much, that whenever he heard about a grape on the news he would think "good on the rapist".

There was also a guy in one thread years ago strongly implying that once girls started their period they were "fair game" for grown men. Also a user called Andy Carlton who thought it was okay for fortysomething year old men to sleep with teenage girls.

There have been some bleeping weirdos on DS.

How do you know the thread is being watched? Is it being discussed over there? 😆

I've seen it referenced over on the Sleeping Dogs forum. I don't know about DS, probably not as any discussion about sites like this one gets deleted.

What was Tanya1982's name before he (possibly she) switched username?
I've heard a lot of guesses. Some were convinced she was Georgina1992 (I think that was the username) and also that Lucien chap. I've mentioned StolenGoodPlaceJanet as a possible past username of hers.
