Why hasn't he done more to make himself more memorable to me?

It's simple - head for the economics forum and repeatedly post that the euro is heading for breakup and was a disaster in the first place. Alsacien will then leap to its defence and tell you he's ARRSE's subject matter expert and privy to inside information mere mortals can only dream at.

You get bonus marks from Alsacien by:

-- Posting lots of links to articles from the Daily Telegraph saying the euro is going to break up.
-- Accusing him of being a eurocrat with a vested interest in the survival of the euro.
-- Not believing his posts.

You get special bonus marks for calling him a cnut in a serious forum...

You will need stamina - the current argument has been going on for over a year (although we recently had a change of venue from the 'Financial Apocalypse' thread to the 'Economic Crisis' one).

If you don't like arguments about economics, you will find the thread (and my posts) an excellent cure for insomnia...

Been through all the posts, can't deny there were a few chuckles... but FFS. Next time some of you boring twats stick your running noses into the religious threads and weep "Is this still going on?" and "Mods can we close this shit down?" or "Help, I am being forced to read the same pointless drive!"....I will probably report you to a Mod. Mods are fantastic people and do a brilliant job...they deserve a medal and cash donations. One day I want to be a Mod then I can ban the lot of you... "Can we now lock this thread?"

Since you offer no proof that mods are real or even exist I'm afraid this can't be locked. Expecting some internet all-powerful, all-seeing arbiter of what's fair and what's not to come and intervene when life gets tedious is naive in the extreme.

I assume, we can meet on some sort of neutral ground, would the Cavalry & Guards Club be OK, we can then have a half decent lunch and a passable club claret after the introductions?

I shall be wearing my nappy, I assume Mr. Seagull will have his red nose on.

I shall book Balaclava room, a suitable backdrop for such festivities, please can those who are not members let me know your names and addresses so I can book you in. If you come from a lesser Regiment or Corps, do not wear your tie, it could be a bit embarrassing and some of the older members may have apoplexy.

I look forward to what should be a most entertaning and educational day.

You still here? I thought you'd be chasing a mod about screaming about it all being sooo unfair and demanding your right to post on the internet.

No PM received yet you fibbing twat weasel.

Allright - so why the fuck was the Religion at RMAS thread closed. FFS, time to start a different website.

Well I don't mod it so can't say for sure but possibly a thread in the officer recruitment forum maybe wasn't the best place for the same old entrenched arguments for and against religion.

Just a guess.

If God exists, he will surely moderate the religious thread. And you won't get a more powerful and all seeing moderator than that. Not so much ROP's as thunderbolts...

I don't think he's ever removed any post of mine that's been on topic - not matter how annoying the content.

But (after this outbreak of reasonableness), can I say that Alsacien is in love with his own opinions. Were he in charge in Brussels, the situation would be under control inside a fortnight...

You saying he's got no balls?
