I haven't a clue how such things breed or why they aren't extinct. We should ship them all over to France and be done with them once and for all. The horrid little buggers.

Actually snails are fascinating creatures able to heal mind and body. I suggest you read the rather wonderful book 'The sound of a wild snail eating' by Elisabeth Tova Bailey.

This was a wonderful short book about a bedridden woman undergoing some mystery illness who had only a snail, brought in by accident by a friend bring a pot plant, for company.

If you'd have followed my advice and bought a kindle I could have emailed it you...

You read a book about snails? That is strange. Actually, I was only having a rant, so don't take it all at face value. I am quite sure snails have their little niche which they occupy with much pride and efficiency, but they are still ugly, slow and annoying little bastards. I guess I wouldn't mind them if they would just keep off the footpaths. They need little snail signs like we have warning us not to cross the railway lines. Where do they think they are going anyway? I just have a natural revulsion for slimy little creatures like that. Slugs are awful too. They are just so hideous.

But do you feel bad when you crush them? I do. I had to stamp on a frog once. Only last year. It was crippled in a door. I burst into tears as soon as I did it. I'm pretty tough you see.

Some poster once started a thread about the next boxer to die, totally inappropriate, luckily the mods took it down.

Re: Worst thread possible.

"Who would win in a fight between ....." and then its two utterly nonsensical things, like a crocodile or a camel or something idiotic.

"I am a monstor for my weight" type threads (though they do become quite legendary)

Idiots who dont know much about anything, post they half baked views and then are not open to a debate or disagreement. They just want people to reinforce their stupid perception.

I'm sure they are more, but i dont usually open any threads that don't interest me (isn't that the point of having a forum)??

I think the worst thread would be a one where some sicko just intermittently posts the vilest, most obscene things they can find, that have no relevance to a 'boxing' forum. That would be annoying and upsetting.

Re: Worst thread possible.

There are plenty of ones which would very quickly get banned, such as:

I'm not racist, but....(almost anything can go here).

A link to a youtube video with 9/11 footage over a certain R Kelly song about flying.

Any thread featuring the name Anthony Small, the man is the ultimate interest killer, both in his fighting career and afterwards.

Audley Harrison's Foxtrot.

In terms of sheer boredom, I've always wanted to table a discussion thread about my thesis on the treatment of Mussolini by the british press in the prelude to the second world war. Any takers?

I'd actually be pretty interested in that.
