I'm apologizing for being an idiot and posting $hit yesterday and part of today. It was just my first time on a forum and I went crazy. I am being sincere and I want a fresh start on my reputation. All the moderators, can you please give me another chance. This isn't a joke either, I'm dead serious. I really am serious about programming and am willing to learn if people are willing to teach. I really want to apologize to TheAbomb12, he said I was an idiot and I critisized him. He was right. Forgive me and don't ban me. Gloating Guhill.

Excuse me, I was wondering if anyone was going to forgive me. I've been waiting for a while now. Especially the moderator. You don't have to. It's your choice.

Sorry, I didn't know football was on, I live in America. Is football the sport where they kick the ball around. Here we call it Soccer, that's why I was confused.

Yeah, we tend to call the game where you mainly use your foot, football. Soccer is what really small kids call it.

Maybe over there, but here, everyone calls it Soccer. We have a different sport that is called football. You know, the sport with the touchdowns, field goals, safeties, first downs, etc.

Yeah, isn't that the one where you rarely use your foot? Also can't remember, but isn't that the one where you have a world series pretty much in your own country? Can't remember, we never watch the stuff. Bit like Rugby (the one where they *dont* wear a load of body armour), apart from once every few years (eg. a couple of months ago... swing low... tra la la).

Yeah, Americans don't make sense. Oh, and the world series is baseball, it's a whole different sport. But I despise Baseball. Even if it is the American sport. It sucks. I prefer basketball. But, back on the subject, I want to know if my reputation can be cleared for a new start.

I don't get it...you use your foot...to kick a ball...Of course it should be called soccer! Silly europeans

Oh and guhill, if you are really sorry I suggest you start by not making any new topics for a while. Reply to other people's posts, don't start your own.

Piffle. Baseball is but rounders without girls. Ummm, doesn't basketball (netball without girls) also have a world series pretty much only in America?

I know, call yourself Humble Guhill. That might work.

Thank you so much. That doesn't mean I can't joke around once in a while does. It's really fun joking with my friends (er... unless you're not my friends ). Basketball doesn't have a world series, it's called a championship. How do you change your name. I guess gloating isn't a good word in my name. I just found out what it meant yesterday.

Tiffle, Tish, Pish, hot potato, sausage...all words invented by Blackadder.

And before you ask...everybody knows that sausage wouldn't be in the dictionary if it wasn't for Blackadder's band of merry men.

being very loud, abnoxious and overall just being annoying.
and yeah i know you wanna sit there and say 'well i'm an american teen so it's alright', but until you take responsibility for your actions and decide to do something about it, i don't care if you come from pluto, the last of your species and are genetically developed to be the way you are; it still isn't an excuse.

Actually, I use the word 'piffle' and don't watch Black Adder so I must've picked it up somewhere, I generally use it as a polite word for 'bullsh*t'. Anyway, the actual meaning (apparently it does exist):

Thats nothing. Come to this country and see how the Empire swears like troopers If your mum doesn't call you a c**t every now and again, then you aren't really from Liverpool. Now matter how many hubcaps you have.

We've all seen Friends, and as we know it's a typical slice of the American lifestyle (much like Neighbours for Aussies, and Oliver! for us), the best we've seen till know is about as rude as nursery school. Or f**kinary school where we come from (ie. the harder north rather than the girlie shandy drinking south).

passed over my head, but then it clicked when you said it was an ST reference; i was thinking more newbian as in neubion (afrian tribe reknown for thier gold supplies and buff blokes)

i still think Pifflian sounds better, as it's along the lines of Plebian; most newbies would fit into both catagories lol

no offence Humble Guhill,
I think you should stop posting on the forums awhile for two reasons.

1) People are stating to get irritated by your constant creation of pointless threads (many of which were locked yy the Moderators) and some of your silly remarks.

2) by not posting for awhile, you will also get a chance to view how the forum community behaves, and what is approprite behavior and what isn't.

Dude, take Raven's example. It's a good thing to think elsewhere are all shandy drinking softies (think weak US lager with lime). The only thing is that Raven comes from the midlands. Which we all know are super soft. They even like "halves".... I dunno....

Oh, and since I've actually been hiding out in the south for the last decade (they pay well here), I'll also say "It's grim up north", and "Mmmm... gravy.... northern boys love gravy.....".

Hell, I'm half welsh so I can say what I want. Such as you are all english scum and should die horribly.

A few posts before. And for those who didn't get it :

Da newbian=Denobulans=Humanoid species. The Enterprise NX-01's Dr. Phlox is Denobulan. The Denobulans hail from the system Denobula Triaxa, and only require six days of sleep per year (though, according to Dr. Phlox, two will suffice). It is common for Denobulans to have multiple spouses — Phlox has three wives, who, in turn, each have two other husbands. Mating among this species is apparently very complex compared to human traditions, yet most Denobulans do not like to be touched
