When did he depart? One would expect the departure of such a popular and well-loved member to be noticed by the rest of us.
Now now... I know Greg Scott is mostly associated with his work on said gaming channel, but that was not the reason for my starting the thread.Spencer For Hire wrote:Is anyone else rather nauseated by the 'Happy Birthday Greg Scott' thread?
I've nothing against the man, but that kind of sycophancy really should be reserved for someone who offers free money to all forum members, rather than just for someone who cons thick people out of their giro's on a shitty gaming channel.
Surely he must be embarrassed by all that fawning over him.
well the fact the mods did not close it means we all have free reign when it comes to birthday threads. i'm going to save a few quid on postage this year by creating a thread for each of my telly idols, and i have a few of them.James Vertigan wrote:Now now...

Aside from his presenting on the quiz channel, there are a few who see him as a respected television personality for his entertaining presenting ways and also a respected member of the TV Forum family, we do not all see him as a patronising presenter being egged on by his employer to force people into racking up monstrous amounts on their phone bills to part with their cash when they have no hope of winning the prizes on offer.
End of rant. Thank you, Good night.
Either way, with the greatest respect James, starting a Happy Birthday thread for any forum member a week before the event itself does make you appear rather undignified, sycophantic, and dare I say it, slightly stalker-ish.James Vertigan wrote:Now now...

Not that I'm hinting, but the annual Snu-Hyma birthday celebration occurs in just over a month. Perhaps the thread should start now?
is it interesting? if so type awayonetrickpony wrote:Sorry if this is going off topic, but i see someone mentioned Meic Young here. Is he still around, ie read these comments.
