Don Rushmore Leaves The BCG Page 3

No there were also personal insults, some about people's appearance. To be fair I think Don did apologise to all concerned about this. I don't think people mind having their work slated but personal insults are another matter.

Sorry missed this.
If you're on a forum then personal insults happen, if it's not Don then it will be somebody else, best just to ignore them, much like a sitcom character does.

I've felt insulted quite often here but it's a forum and people say things online that they would never dream of saying to people face to face, because it would be considered rude, antisocial behaviour.

By the way I don't work in McDonalds Dolly, and I got over it. :)

:) Personally I don't give a toss. In my case it's true I haven't got a girlfriend.

But I think it's best to stamp out such behaviour; after all it is a form of bullying and intimidation.

Do you work at Burger King then? :)

Coincidentally one of my daughters is working at McD now during her Uni summer holls.
Shall ask her to write a couple of sketches for me.

I bet she'll get some horror stories for you!

I always crave a Big Mac and large fries when driving down the motorway.

Strangely no.
Every summer holiday she does McD and Christmas holidays she works in a big shop 'Karstadt' gift wrapping perfume for customers.
Has been doing this for 3 years now.

She swears McD is spotless, all the food is fresh and they throw tons of stuff away daily.
I must always visit McD on a bad day because I just get crap.

I always suspected McD were proficient in the dark arts due to the fact that the human body needs up to 6 hours to transform fresh food into excrement and McD only needs about 6 minutes.

It's one of those foods you crave and then instantly regret. Like pork scratchings in my case.

I might have done? I can't really tell the difference between praise and abuse...

c**t

Don, I know we haven't really talked much and when we have it's been on the rough said and for that I'm sorry if I've ever offended you.

But you are a bit of a cock...

Sorry Aaron, but he's gone never to be seen again.....

(until tomorrow).

Ah, I do so love an indulgent, self-aggrandizing thread to start the day with. I really feel I can get on with things now!

This is just a little, informal apology to anyone that was offended by comments that I made in another thread.

I haven't hacked into any Facebook account. It was a stupid, immature comment to make - and I shouldn't have made it. I used to work as a website 'closer', and it would seem that 'old habits really do die hard'. Incidentally, that comment was probably the only time that I have ever been untruthful on this site.

So sincerest apologies for that post.

I am still a little bitter about my daughter's treatment on The BCG. And, although she longs to return, she feels slightly embarrassed and degraded at what Aaron has asked her to do in order to regain her membership.

Also, now that I have this opportunity, I would like to apologize for any offensive comments that I have made since joining this site in December.

I'm honest and open with people; simple as that.

Most of the writers on here - as far as great jokes are concerned - couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo.

I won't name names; I'm sure deep down these people know who they are.

I'm also confident that many of these people are funny looking, and don't have girlfriends. But that is beside the point.

So, I guess, in short, what I'm really trying to say is that - I have decided to step down as The BCG's unofficial Keeper of the Peace. And will be retiring from this site in the very near future.

For the one or two of you that are disappointed at the news of my imminent departure, fear not.

My younger brother - Rusty Rushmore - will hopefully be joining The BCG some time next week. And he is very much looking forward to meeting you all.

That's about it from me, I think.

So I'd just like to wish all of you the very best of luck in whatever you decide to do in the future. I genuinely hope all of you are successful.

Kindest regards,

Don Rushmore MBE

I shall miss your excellent punctuation, Don.

Why would anyone want to hit a barn door with a banjo?

And while I'm at it, why would I need more than one string on my bow?

You sir know nothing of kinky sex.

I have just put a giant ball gag in the front door of the British Museum and I am going to give it a damn good thrashing!

I wouldn't bother, that museum is a f**king prude.

Yeh you and the Science Museum, that museum is a tramp. Go back to your tramp museum and it's Jezebel tendencies.
