IamLeGod Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Haha, definitely cheered me up whilst sat here in the library! COYS!!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 A superb statement which just about sums things up.
saint_stevo Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 I'm Dan Kerins. AND I can spell his, er, my name. Seeing your mug has ruined my Monday
Turkish Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/view_from_the_chapel/8093325.Saints_transfer_rumours_are_nothing_to_fear/ The bit comparing Saints and the Blew lot down the road is priceless.. Its one of his better attempts i must say, but they always border on the ever so cheesy, happy clappy side.
benjii Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Obvioulsy I echo the sentiments but why does he insist on starting a new paragraph every sentence? It's quite an odd style and inhibits expression beyond the superficial. All it does is make everything sound like a hackneyed truism and inhibits the development of any sort of argument-flow.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Dan, know you read this site, fair play, quality article. Loving the 'Best fans in the world '.

It's quite an odd style and inhibits expression beyond the superficial. All it does is make everything sound like a hackneyed truism and inhibits the development of any sort of argument-flow. I think that's more to do with the Echo's way of life than Dan's writing style. I've noticed it quite a lot in the Echo, and newspapers in general.

Ok - well I only read the Saints stuff on the Echo so if that's the case and Dan is being edited badly then I apologise to him.
Toadhall Saint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 This quote frustrates a little.. "These rumours, as unpleasant as they may be, have basis in reality – even if they don’t come to fruition" ......... Can you please give me a quote from those in the real world to substantiate the basis?
StuRomseySaint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 (edited) I'm Dan Kerins. AND I can spell his, er, my name. Who's the brunette? She has everything right, not wearing colours, drinking pints, quite attractive... ... then she goes and f*cks it up by wearing that stupid bow in her hair. Edit: It also looks like her head has been photoshopped on. Edited 12 April, 2010 by StuRomseySaint
Scudamore Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Who's the brunette? She has everything right, not wearing colours, drinking pints, quite attractive... ... then she goes and f*cks it up by wearing that stupid bow in her hair. Edit: It also looks like her head has been photoshopped on. She's too slim for you Stu
The9 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Who's the brunette? She has everything right, not wearing colours, drinking pints, quite attractive... ... then she goes and f*cks it up by wearing that stupid bow in her hair. Edit: It also looks like her head has been photoshopped on. I'm also marrying her in 3 months' time. And she's got a home shirt on under her coat, so no need to worry yourself about it. :cool:
StuRomseySaint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 I'm also marrying her in 3 months' time. And she's got a home shirt on under her coat, so no need to worry yourself about it. :cool: Couple of questions... 1) Can you have a word with her about that bow in her hair? 2) Does she have any sisters? 3) Can I come to the wedding?
Mr X Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 I'm Dan Kerins. AND I can spell his, er, my name. who wrote the web article? it has spelling mistakes guess thats the echo for you!
The9 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Couple of questions... 1) Can you have a word with her about that bow in her hair? 2) Does she have any sisters? 3) Can I come to the wedding? 1) I like the bow once a while. 2) Twin sister. Who is also getting married, and has a baby. 3) If you haven't had an invite already you're not getting one "I'm afraid".
Toomer Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 I'm Dan Kerins. AND I can spell his, er, my name. A very entertaining read, Michelle, no drink in your right hand:)
LA77 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 The bloke at the front in the denim jacket looks like David Nugents older brother
The9 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 The bloke at the front in the denim jacket looks like David Nugents older brother Ric is better than The Nuge at football.
StuRomseySaint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Ric is better than The Nuge at football. Is that Ric as in 'The Rulebook'

It's quite an odd style and inhibits expression beyond the superficial. All it does is make everything sound like a hackneyed truism and inhibits the development of any sort of argument-flow. Precisely. This is one of my pet peeves with journalistic style. Many newspapers tell their reporters to make every sentence its own paragraph. I presume they believe it makes the article easier to read - but, as benjii points out, it actually makes it harder. Grouping sentences into paragraphs makes the writing easier to read, not harder.
miserableoldgit Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 who wrote the web article? it has spelling mistakes guess thats the echo for you! Whereas this post has correct use of capital letters and punctuation.
alpine_saint Posted 12 April, 2010 Author Posted 12 April, 2010 Congratulations in being able to spell your own name, Dna.
Danny Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Just to clear up any confusion, The9 is not Dan Kerins!
StuRomseySaint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Just to clear up any confusion, The9 is not Dan Kerins! Are you then? Can you write an article about me please? I wasnt to be as famous as Mr Illingsworth.
Noodles34 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Are you then? Can you write an article about me please? I wasnt to be as famous as Mr Illingsworth. like the Murphys eh?
RonManager Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Are you then? Can you write an article about me please? I wasnt to be as famous as Mr Illingsworth. How just one letter changes a whole sentence. "I wasn't to be as famous as Mr Illingsworth, but then, one day, fate took a hand and etc etc etc..."
Danny Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Are you then? Can you write an article about me please? I wasnt to be as famous as Mr Illingsworth. A SAINTS fan has spent ages posting on the Internet. Going by the name StuRomseySaint, the coach and beer magnate has created a cult of adoring fans. However, his love of all things made of tight, red and white nylon and led some to question his choice of attire. One - who asked to remain nameless, said: "He's like Nick Illingsworth, but with more Saints shirts." StuRomseySaint could not be contacted for comment.

Call my secretary for a few quotes and a free signed picture of me.
RonManager Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 What a stoooooooooooopid typo. :-( How embarrassing. :oops: Yeah, well you made it and now you are just going have to live with it. It's not going to be easy, I know, but you should have thought of that before you casually decided not to bother with any attempt at copy editing or proof reading. Let that be a lesson to you.
Michelle Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 A very entertaining read, Michelle, no drink in your right hand:) I think you'll find it's just behind Ric's ear.

It's not going to be easy, I know, but you should have thought of that before you casually decided not to bother with any attempt at copy editing or proof reading. Let that be a lesson to you. I am a busy busy man, I only just got back to reading it, if only someone hadn't quoted it then I might have got away with it. This is hard to take, what a balls up... a good start if I want to be like Mr Illingsworth. :-)
Crab Lungs Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Just thought I'd pop by and throw my hat into the ring. I'm Dan Kerins.
RonManager Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 I would like it put on record that I am not now, nor have I ever been, Dan Kerins.
The9 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Is that Ric as in 'The Rulebook' May be... I think this might be enough of People's Real Lives on SaintsWeb for now... I dunno who this Danny bloke is to tell me I'm not Dan Kerins though.
saint_stevo Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 May be... I think this might be enough of People's Real Lives on SaintsWeb for now... I dunno who this Danny bloke is to tell me I'm not Dan Kerins though. Golden Thread IMO
dune Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Who's the brunette? She has everything right, not wearing colours, drinking pints, quite attractive... Have a word with yourself Stu, women drinking pints is not acceptable.
SuperMikey Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Have a word with yourself Stu, women drinking pints is not acceptable. Stu likes it because it reminds him of blokes.
latter day saint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 i am not Dan Kerrins & have no wish to be Dan Kerins unless a miracle happens & he gets lucky with Scarlett Johansson.
The9 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Golden Thread IMO Anything with pics of me on it is Golden as far as I'm concerned. Also, I got to virtual-cck-block SRS after he said something almost nice about my bird which was mildly amusing too. :smt113
The9 Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 i am not Dan Kerrins & have no wish to be Dan Kerins unless a miracle happens & he gets lucky with Scarlett Johansson. Good point well made. Clever use of both spellings too.
latter day saint Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Good point well made. Clever use of both spellings too. D'oh! #-o obviously was thinking about Miss Johansson.
miserableoldgit Posted 12 April, 2010 Posted 12 April, 2010 Is there a "Spartacus" vibe going on here?? If so - "I am Dan Kerrins!"
