I WONDER ....

.... where everyone is tonight. I'm sat sitting here, aaaall alone with nobody with me and nobody to moider er .... I mean talk to.

'Tis like the Mary Celeste. Maybe I'm just a pigment of my own menageration and I'm just dreaming I'm here. Or, mayhap I'm in a parallel world where Wigan World doesn't actually exist?

Sat'day neets were always the best night of the week with fun and merry banter, so where are ya'll? Come out of yer hiding places.

mollie, I have lost great interest in the site and certainly do not post much these days.
Some of the posters I knew well have left and some no longer post.
I hope that your evenings are filled with interesting things and this site is only one of many interesting additions to your evenings being enjoyable.
My very best wishes.

How very true, Ian, but I also enjoy chatting to folk, especially on a weekend.

It's very sad that so many smashing posters no longer come on here, mainly because of the aggravation caused by some who don't know how to conduct themselves with dignity and respect, but there are some that do and it's the fun topics I post in, not the negative ones.

I have been watching Netflix for most of the evening

I find the nobheads on here to be quite 'entertaining'

Entertaining? Well, I suppose that's one way of putting it.

What were you watching on Netflix? I don't have owt like that.

I watched the very last episode of 'Sweet Tooth' with Gus and Big Man, and that poisonous tree, which leaked out the blood of the earth, because that oriental looking bitch had pulled out that axe which was embedded in that tree, and the young woman who had given birth to four hybrid human/wolves, she turned into a goody, it was just like real life, and I hope they make a season three of it, but I don't think that they will

Oh! Wish I hadn't asked now. Sounds frikk'nin'.

I'd taken to the drink again last night Mollie, This weekend is like a ' holiday for me 'catchin' up with some ole pals and, I'm having one more afternoon today on the lash before the warden comes back on duty on Monday, So Monday is tiding up, fitting a new sink unit because this one is full and bung all my washing in the washing machine Then go pick her from the station,
Then its my turn, I'm off a camping in Wales, Here's hoping the nice weather holds out but, Its not lookin good

mollie m

You are missing nothing by not having and paying for Netflix!

I spent most of the day gardening cutting the lawns and generally tidying up the borders and pruning. In the evening I watched catch up tv mainly gardening programmes and wishing my gardens were like those on the Tv Some of the gardens shown would cost thousands of pounds to get like that or many years to establish the growth.I did have a look on line but mainly the rugby results

Me and her indoors are in Derby for a long weekend visiting relatives...after my last little episode with surgery I Vowed to get out and away whenever I can...like Rob Burrows said "Don't waste a moment of your life"...wishing you well Mollie ...get out and about Luv ...

I was watching some of the Paralympics last night and then the rugby.. good win for Wigan! Molliem I'm sure there are lots of other groups out there that focus on friendship and friendly chat. I've never been a big contributor on here and tend to just check in on the mornings. Like a lot of others have said people are put off by the sniping and bickering which is sad. I don't know why admin don't clamp down on it Other groups are much stricter.

I'm sorry to hear of your surgery BB. I do hope it cured your ailment and you can go on enjoying your retirement and time on the bike, I suppose you had the ' cut down on the ale' lecture as well from the medical enjoyment poopers

I'm off again this afternoon/evening for a final slurp of beer in piece, My parole ends tonight so will have to limit the amount to the alcohol awareness system, no more than 2.5 barrels per day , Hic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Its gone a lot quieter since Stardelta left.

He talked a lot of sense and didn't suffer fools. A lot of people couldn't get the better of him so they ( allegedly ) put him on ignore and at every given opportunity reminded anyone that cared to listen that they were "ignoring" him! Laughable
A lot of comments were aimed at him in a derogatory manner, but he stood his ground and gave as good as he got! Some members could not hack that, so they jumped on the " lets gang up on Stardelta" (adopting the childrens playground mentality) bandwagon. Now it's gone quiet, until next time.
Who will be the next target? It could be you, or me
That is my opinion why I think its very quiet on here.

There wasn't any friction nor antagonism between Stardelta and me. Also, I never had him on ignore as, for me, there was no need to take such an action.

Stardelta was active on this site and his words often motivated some members to respond. Therefore, it is possible that it is a little quieter without him.

I don't feel this site has gone quiet due to the absence of Stardelta, but due to a percentage of members feeling that much of the content and character of the site no longer interests them. Although some of these members possibly take a look occasionally, they clearly choose not to contribute much, if at all, and this leaves the site absent of contributions from many different people.

Sadly, some members are no longer with us and some of those members contributed to this site on a regular basis.

Warrever,, Ian, I have now lost the continuity twixt this thread, I had sledge and his alter ego , chesh, on ignore and it seems, they still yearn my attentions, Sad bugger,

anyrode, I'm home now from my pub adventures, a little wiser and a little poorer from the experience, Its back to normal tomorrow as the warden is home and the skool kids are back to skool and , I'm happy this site is more pleasant that when the troll was here,
God bless Admin,,,

Mr Biker:

I wish you well too. Wish I could get out and about like I used to, but as I still work, I’m limited as to where I can go alone these days. I only post on here at night when I get bored, but I’m quite happy during the day.

Kath:

You say other groups are much stricter about the sniping and bickering. So did this at one time when Brian was running the place. He’d regularly lock threads, or remove them altogether, if they went against the rules. You’ve been a member here for almost as long as me, so you’ll remember that.

Cheshire Cat & Ian:

I 100% agree with both of you. I know Stardelta could at times be a bit confrontational and disagreeable, mainly regarding racist comments, maybe because he had good reason to be, but I never had a problem with him either. In fact, quite the opposite. If I asked a question on here, he was one of the people who would help or give good advice. However, I think he was also aware that he wound some people up and that was wrong, but he didn’t deserve to be banned (perhaps a warning), considering what certain others on here blatantly flaunt with their disagreements and sniping which are much worse, and they are the ones keeping folk away, and yet they're still here bitching and bickering like a pair of ageing school children.

Mollie, although i love you like you was my sister, Sometimes you talk a load o 80licks,,,,,,,,

I over the years had run ins with Stardelta or his altered personae's but like other members I would not put him on Ignore. I would read most of his comments but ignore replying to them and that is what the little schoolchildren on sport should do ignore each others postings or put them on ignore

The proof of the pie is in the eating and, in my opinion , this site has improved with sledge Gone,
I cannot for the life of me remember a single thread of his of helping others only negative threads,
I'm not going to comment any further because some of you are making him to be a decent chap and he was nothing of the sort, good riddance is my closing verdict

tomplum

As another who was subjected to his nastiness and sarcasm, I have only one thing to say.

Spot on!

Back Won now...nice in Derby town centre short of nowt. .on the mend TP...next consultant appointment in December so that's good news...Soon be Christmas...

"The proof of the pie is in the eating and, in my opinion , this site has improved with sledge Gone,"

How would you know?
You had him on ignore! In your dreams you did

Mollie told it as it is @ 21.05 and you couldn't even accept that and typed to her "Sometimes you talk a load o 80licks"

Very grown up reply, not

I'll second that chesh

Sorry to disagree with some but I found SD very arrogant,he didn’t need all that arrogance to put his view across..Just imagaine if we all took his attitude to general topics,like Mollie I’ve been here quite a long time ..and have never known arrogance like his…I pity his family if that’s his general attitude to them…mind you I think he just wanted to impress Wigan Worlders..well he didn’t impress me..I haven’t missed him one bit,he probably hasn’t missed me neither but am I bothered…nahhh.

I find a lot of of members on here whom are offensive, arrogant, boring attention seekers, big headed and bigots. All about me, me me
I also find there are a lot of respectable, well mannered, polite, courteous members on here

There are a lot worse members than Stardelta, whom are still active, in, my opinion.
As far as I'm aware going off what I have read on here. The 2 members on here who couldn't get the better of Stardelta had him on ignore ( allegedly! ) So, how can they pass comment on him and judge him when they don't even know what he is posting

Each to their own, Momac, each to their own

True Cheshire Cat.

Oh dear, it seems I opened up a can of worms here, and that wasn't my intention.

Tom, I don't know what I said for you to be rude to me as I always try my best to be respectful to other members, even if I don't agree with them. If Stardelta had made that remark to me, folk would have come down on him like a ton of bricks and I was quite shocked.

I wasn't defending Stardelta, or his comments, because I've read what he's written to certain members and it's not been nice but, in all fairness, he's no longer here to defend himself.

Still pals though, eh Tom?

"I've read what he's written to certain members, and it's not been very nice"

OK I'll do a start delta. "it's not what is said but who said it"

Why was Stardelta banned?

He had a difference of opinion with admin so he got the boot Read below

Posted by Ozy on photo a day.

In my opinion he's typed a lot of truth in this

"I’d like to make it clear that I don’t necessarily always agree with Stardelta’s views … in fact , I find many of his posts , particularly on the topic of immigration for example , to be tediously inflexible at times , but the bloke ,
( at least I assume it’s a bloke ) , comes across to me as being both intelligent and articulate. Both virtues combined being a relatively rare combination on this site.

But where’s the benefit from banning him from the site ? … it’s censorship … nothing less .
We constantly bleat on about censorship in North Korea and various other left wing or communist countries , yet choose to bar a bloke from speaking his mind on a bloody tinpot Wiggin social media site for Christ's sake .

… Jesus wept ….can you see the irony here Ron ?

It’s blatant censorship ,
nothing more nor less .

I suppose this post may also be subject to censorship … time will tell ".


Regards . Ozy .

I always respect you Mollie because you see good in everyone so yea, we;re still pals,

Thanks First Mate.Sometimes he was controversial but stood his corner and was quite witty.

rule of thumb,,,posters who give nothing away about, where they live, what they do/did and use the ole, ' data protection' as a reason for doing so,, have something to hide,,,Even Brian our host , does not hide his identity,

If anyone has any sense they wont post personal details, I don't and I have no intention of doing so. Stay safe out there people

Mollie I know you as a real person and you know me in the same way, These others who we've never met are keyboard warriors and not worth a pennies worth of sawdust, All pretending to be up market, high end professionals with fur coats but no knickers, ask them for the time and, they'll want to charge for it,

But don't you see, Tom. That's exactly what I mean. Most of us have never met, so we don't know them and they don't know us, so why waste time and energy on those who only find enjoyment belittling others when there are far more interesting and important things to think about. Just leave 'em to it because it shouldn't affect any of us in our real lives away from the forum. I learned that the hard way a long time ago. They're not real.

I would never intentionally put any personnel details like email,telephone numbers,address etc this site and neither would most people.

Retep1949 I know one or two members both past and present and would never divulge any personal information about them or I hope they would reciprocate like wise I once posted a members age and he posted why did I not tell every one where he lived and his real name. I posted back I did not need to has he himself had posted a photo with his name and street on the photo.Some time later he posted about all his neighbours at the time with house numbers for them so you did not have to be brain of britain to figure out his door number

Another member did much the same peterp/retep49 then falsely accused another member of divulging his name and address . He never told his best mate off for publishing his name, and telling everyone who his dad was.
It's like star delta says, "it's not what's said but who said it"

It's foolhardy for anyone to post their real name, email address, phone number, home address, or any personal details on any website, but here in particular as we are the ones discussing it.

Firstly, it isn't only us reading these posts. People from all over the world can read every word we say and, for example, if an email address is given, any unscrupulous person can use that and cause chaos to its owner. There are some strange people out there not to be trusted.

For myself, not one solitary soul on the internet knows my married name because, when my husband and I split, I reverted to my maiden name, only using my married name on legal documents that the law requires. Outside of that, only my brother and my boss know my full name and personal details, and that's how it will stay.

.I'm in full agreement with you Mollie But If another person blabbed your name over the internet, what would you think of that person...He would be a , not very nice person wouldn't he,,,

Well that Sledge who, many are defending oh here, Blabbed my Full name and was never slow to tell folks where I live on more than one occasion,
But it did't worry me because, I have nothing to hide but that doesn't excuse his actions, So everyone who is defending him, thats the sort of person you are defending, he is laughing at you

Hi everyone, I used to contribute back in the early days, mainly to hear and share the stories of people and places from days gone by. I see there are a few still around from the WW 'roots', mollie, Kath, tomplum, PeterP to name a few. I don't post hardly anymore, I didn't like all the sniping and petty bickering that went on, but I do pop in occasionally to see who's still about, many great contributors have come and gone over the years, a few of which are sadly no longer with us. My best wishes to you all, old and new. Wiganworld is a great site, long may it continue to be...

Edit

Tom:

As a matter of fact, back when the original Wigan World Forum was in action somebody posted what they "believed" to be my full name and was done specifically to target and upset me. It was close, but not correct. In any event, I hit the report button and Brian removed the comment immediately.

So the answer to your question is no, I wouldn't like it and I would think of that person as a very nasty piece of work.

Brocklanders:

Nice to hear from you again after all this time.

Tomplum,I hope you are not referring to me about defending Stardelta,he seemed capable of doing that himself.I have not the slightest idea who that person is and nor do I care one jot.I only know who two people are on the entire WW site but I like to read comments whether I agree with them or not.

retep no, I'm my comments are not aimed at you, Although no one knows you, you have actually proved yourself as a real person, You was/ are a are a disco/karaoke host from the Ince/hindley area and done gigs in the King Billy at some stage,
My comments are mostly to his cheshire cat friend who is championing him as a saint, I believe she may be his alter ego and thats why she is now on ignore, So let me explain how ignore works,
If you are in a place were kids are playing and their screaming voices and tantrums are getting you down, Would't it be nice to have that nuisance silenced, Well thats what ignore does for me, The ignored posters are now not displayed so you can still enjoy the sensible comments like an adult reading a book in a library situation and this is proved over and over by the ignored people by keep banging on my door begging for their attentions but the tranquility is too great on this forum for me to ever let them out of the ignore cell, I hope that clears things up retep

Tomplum.You have got the wrong person never done a disco or been a DJ in my life.

ok point noted,

Typical. tomplum way off the mark again with his stupid assumptions.

How much do you charge for a gig, retep?

Sherlock homes he isn't.

The bottom line is that tomplum is doing 100% of the antagonising of members he has ( allegedly ) on ignore. He never fails to have a dig at them at every given, and ungiven opportunity. So much for ignore

Other members are starting to realise this, hence, their lack of support for him.
He has to learn ( its not too late for him! ) to realise that if he cast's false aspersions on other people, then he must be prepared to accept retaliation in return.

The answer is simple for me, ( maybe not for him!) leave me out of your petty, childish, infantile, cheap comments, and I will reciprocate. After all, you are ignoring me, allegedly!
Deal?
Alternatively if the above is beyond you, may I politely suggest that you seek professional medical advice as attention seeking behaviour can be a problem. It could make you unpopular in society if not treated, especially on worldwide public message forums.

You see my point,, the children stamping and tantruming because they seek my attentions but, I'm not listening,,Ha Ha , it ealy winds them up...
