I was having a go at hounslows finest yesterday until he said he'd never been dismissive of Leicester or insulted me and I apologised.
I told him i didn't know who had and who hadnt insulted me or been dismissive and said if I'd insulted him then I'm sorry because I only want to insult people who insult me.
He was surprised by that, told me I didn't need to apologise but appreciated it and now he's added to the list of Spurs fans, small list mind, who I have no issue with.
I argued with Cosmic and we had a proper battle about the Onion saying Vardy was going to leave in January but now he's one of my biggest allies.
I'm old enough, mature enough and man enough to accept when I'm wrong and I move on.

Isn't the whole point of filtering someone so you don't have to see what they say?
Surely having one page signed out so you can see what he says negates the whole point of filtering him?? Just unfilter him.
Never understood filtering someone anyway. You block someone because you don't like what they say, thats life, blocking them seems childish.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's so I can choose to talk to him and read his comments if I want and now I want to engage with him, so I am.
It takes two to tango.
Time to diffuse and enjoy the rest of the season.
The two clubs should be rejoicing not hell and high water at each other's throats, leave the personal battles out and go club to club.
You've become a big personality on here arro but there are brilliant posters on the foxes board not getting a word in edge ways and that's unfortunate as they deserve their moment in the sun.
After all they do go to games and as an excile on my own board I respect that.

Can't you do that without filtering him though? Surely you have the ability to read his comments and decide whether you want to respond to them or not.
Just seems like a lot of work to me.
If you can't do that with Ace then be pleased you weren't around when RGK was.

When I filtered him it was constant abuse and constant slagging Leicester off and i didnt want to read it anymore so I filtered him. I don't mind reading people with a different opinion but I'm not down for 24/7 abuse.

I'll do what I want thanks and actually they didn't want me to and repeatedly told me not to but I will try anything once because I know I've not got an addictive personality. Tried crack once, didn't rate it, tried heroin maybe a dozen times and didn't see the point. Coke can't even tell you but again take it or leave it!
I also have never got addicted to cigarettes, been smoking weed for 20 years and smoked at times, mainly when travelling but I have never become addicted.
I also don't get ill and my immune system is the shiitt and when I say I don't get it, I pick up no bugs, infections, flu, nothing! People can cough their sicky germs all over me and I won't catch it.
So what are your thoughts on that then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My thoughts are you've taken unnecessary risks and have been lucky.
It is indeed up to you what you do, but I am very surprised that any ex-professional footballer in this day and age when so much drugs and narcotics education and information is available would take drugs and smoke weed and cigarettes. I would say you've been very foolish and extremely lucky not to get addicted or suffer a mishap.

Or I just know my body and know what I can and can't handle, it's called knowing your limits and I know mine. What's life without risk? You were a para, which is definitely an unnecessary risk, you could have been killed but you did it anyway. What's the difference? You enjoyed what you did and I enjooyed what I did. We both knew the risks and it appears both risks were worth taking.
I was doing biccies while playing Unibond, it's hardly professional and diet doesn't come into it. Totally different to professional football.

Did you know your body well enough when you popped your first pills or took A class drugs for the first time? People have died taking just one Ecstasy tablet, and the same could have happened to you. Is unnecessary and uncontrolled risk of death from drugs worth taking? I'm not the ex-para (and Heisenberg said he used to be a squaddie, not a para) but I have jumped from 14,000 feet at Wollongong, but the risks there were quantifiable, and probability was on my side. The chances of the plane crashing? Negligible - aeroplane and pilot safety standards in Australia are among the best in the world. Parachute not opening? My instructor was both qualified and accredited and had done (or said he had done) over 5,000 jumps. I thought those were pretty good odds. Taking drugs and smoking cigarettes and weed? Too many unknown and frankly undesirable and anti-social factors for me, and I've never done drugs or smoked in my life. And if you've smoked weed for 20 years and are still doing so, don't you think you might be addicted to it? Or do you not smoke it now?
My point about being an ex-professional footballer was that I'd have thought you'd had enough education in physical fitness and well-being not to take any narcotics at all, either when you were playing professional football, Unibond league or just in life in general. But then that's me.
Nobody knows how they'll react to taking hard drugs, to say you knew how you'd react is absurd.
I hope people see the irony of this drug discussion popping up in an article entitled "arro, please stop".

Ahhh yeah sorry my mistake.
I trusted the people I did drugs with, like my best mate when I first had a pill, I had good mates and good surroundings when I did acid for the first time, I was with mates I trusted when I first took coke. It's always been with people I trusted and justifiably so. Ive never had a bad trip, never been paranoid and the only complaint I can have is, some of the stuff I had was shiittt. Drugs are fun.
I was a kid when I left Leicester, I didn't have to worry about fitness or what to eat, for the level I played at I could do what I want. I was fit enough to play Unibond and run around like Vardy and I took drugs. Never on a Friday mind, always after a game and then played Sunday's and me and two others always had a joint in the changing rooms before the game to come down. This team won everything and most of us were pkayig hungover or still off our heads.
Funnily enough, smoking weed before playing football opened my lungs up and I could breathe a lot better and had more energy. Wouldn't think it would hey but it did.
Do you realise the very small percentage of people that actually die from drugs? More people die from alcohol than drugs. Do you drink? I don't!
I smoke weed because I like to but if I don't have it then that's ok too, I don't need it like a smack head or someone addicted to cigarettes or alcohol.

I didn't know but I trusted my mates. The stuff I had was good and tested by them first and they told me what to expect and all good. It was how they told me and I liked it and I did a lot more and had a lot of fun doing it.

Ha ha yeah, I have stopped now, apart from the odd joint 😊
It probably won't come as much of a surprise to you that I'm totally anti on this matter. I agree to an extent about knowing your own body, in that people react very differently to weed. Some people are pretty much fine with it and I know others like that as well. My big problem with it is that there are also those who aren't. These people are also usually introduced through trusted friends or acquaintances, and nobody goes into it believing that they won't be able to control it. Once you find out it's too late. (And many won't admit it to themselves anyway.) It's the variance that skews the understanding.
However, while I can to a degree buy you understanding your body enough for the "light" drugs (not having an addictive personslity), I can't believe that you're anything other than incredibly lucky with the heroin.

That's fair enough and yeah I know your stance and I respect it. It's certainly not for everyone nor would I say you're missing out.
I understand what you're saying but some people are less sensible when it comes to things like that and it's half of the excitement. I knew from mates that I'd be ok to take heroin a few times and I only smoked it, but right from the first time, I never bought into it. I genuinely didn't see the point of it as a recreational drug. It served a purpose when trying to come down and because I didn't think it was anything special maybe thats why I could just say nah without getting addicted.
I would agree that ive been lucky but you only live once and I can say I experienced a lot of things that other's wouldnt and I came out of it unscathed.
How about this, I talked my way into a bikeys club in NZ, heard music, scaled a wall, got chased back over it by bikeys with weapons, found a door, rang bell, said bikeys opened it and said "we just chased you over the wall aye" and I said "yeah sorry about that, I was looking for the way in and ive found it" one replied, "found what bro, you haven't found no way in here, do you know what this place is bro?" I said "no but you have music and I bet you have piiiss (beer) so can I come in?"
They both laughed and said "this is the Lost Breed bikey club" and I said "well as you can see ive not got a bike so does that mean I can't come in? The way I see it is I'm alright with you then you'll be alright with me" they looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders and said "ok you're crazy and have balls I'll give you that but just be careful in there".
I went in and had a right laugh and went there every week after that once the bars had shut at 3am, I found somewhere else to go until whenever you were ready to go home.
Is that something that you'd attempt? Knowing you as I do, of course I know the answer 👍
I'm a risk taker, not so much now but I was back in my 20's, ive done some crazy stuff and I would definitely say I have been lucky. Lucky or just a very good judge of situations I'm not sure but ive come out of everything unscathed.

I got in some bother with the Russian army in Transdniestr, a Russian occupied area in Moldova bordering Ukraine. Scared wasn't the word but my humour didn't leave me. When approached I was told to get out and asked if I had and "arms" I waved mine around and said "ive got these two" and he wasn't amused but it made me laugh and gave me momentary relief from my situation.
Then he checked my car and asked what was in my guitar case and searched through everything but before he'd give me my passport back he kept saying "present, you present" after a a bit the penny dropped and I realised I had to bribe him to get it back but I had nothing, only €50 that I needed until I got to Kiev. So I offered to arm wrestle him and if I won he'd let me have it. Don't know why I came up with that but I needed something and it was all I had. My mate taught me a trick with twisting the wrist and ive been known to beat people stronger than me and he went for it. Luckily I beat him and Owens little trick saved me €50.
I am actually writing a book about my travels, it's called the Adolescent Adventure of Arro, it's not going very quickly I might add but it's well in progress.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant....
It's waay past the wumming stage now.

Did you know your body well enough when you popped your first pills or took A class drugs for the first time? People have died taking just one Ecstasy tablet, and the same could have happened to you. Is unnecessary and uncontrolled risk of death from drugs worth taking? I'm not the ex-para (and Heisenberg said he used to be a squaddie, not a para) but I have jumped from 14,000 feet at Wollongong, but the risks there were quantifiable, and probability was on my side. The chances of the plane crashing? Negligible - aeroplane and pilot safety standards in Australia are among the best in the world. Parachute not opening? My instructor was both qualified and accredited and had done (or said he had done) over 5,000 jumps. I thought those were pretty good odds. Taking drugs and smoking cigarettes and weed? Too many unknown and frankly undesirable and anti-social factors for me, and I've never done drugs or smoked in my life. And if you've smoked weed for 20 years and are still doing so, don't you think you might be addicted to it? Or do you not smoke it now?
My point about being an ex-professional footballer was that I'd have thought you'd had enough education in physical fitness and well-being not to take any narcotics at all, either when you were playing professional football, Unibond league or just in life in general. But then that's me.

Nobody knows how they'll react to taking hard drugs, to say you knew how you'd react is absurd.

Or I just know my body and know what I can and can't handle, it's called knowing your limits and I know mine. What's life without risk? You were a para, which is definitely an unnecessary risk, you could have been killed but you did it anyway. What's the difference? You enjoyed what you did and I enjooyed what I did. We both knew the risks and it appears both risks were worth taking.

Ahhh yeah sorry my mistake.
I trusted the people I did drugs with, like my best mate when I first had a pill, I had good mates and good surroundings when I did acid for the first time, I was with mates I trusted when I first took coke. It's always been with people I trusted and justifiably so. Ive never had a bad trip, never been paranoid and the only complaint I can have is, some of the stuff I had was shiittt. Drugs are fun.
I was a kid when I left Leicester, I didn't have to worry about fitness or what to eat, for the level I played at I could do what I want. I was fit enough to play Unibond and run around like Vardy and I took drugs. Never on a Friday mind, always after a game and then played Sunday's and me and two others always had a joint in the changing rooms before the game to come down. This team won everything and most of us were pkayig hungover or still off our heads.
Funnily enough, smoking weed before playing football opened my lungs up and I could breathe a lot better and had more energy. Wouldn't think it would hey but it did.
Do you realise the very small percentage of people that actually die from drugs? More people die from alcohol than drugs. Do you drink? I don't!
I smoke weed because I like to but if I don't have it then that's ok too, I don't need it like a smack head or someone addicted to cigarettes or alcohol.

I didn't know but I trusted my mates. The stuff I had was good and tested by them first and they told me what to expect and all good. It was how they told me and I liked it and I did a lot more and had a lot of fun doing it.

Ha ha yeah, I have stopped now, apart from the odd joint 😊

It probably won't come as much of a surprise to you that I'm totally anti on this matter. I agree to an extent about knowing your own body, in that people react very differently to weed. Some people are pretty much fine with it and I know others like that as well. My big problem with it is that there are also those who aren't. These people are also usually introduced through trusted friends or acquaintances, and nobody goes into it believing that they won't be able to control it. Once you find out it's too late. (And many won't admit it to themselves anyway.) It's the variance that skews the understanding.
However, while I can to a degree buy you understanding your body enough for the "light" drugs (not having an addictive personslity), I can't believe that you're anything other than incredibly lucky with the heroin.

That's fair enough and yeah I know your stance and I respect it. It's certainly not for everyone nor would I say you're missing out.
I understand what you're saying but some people are less sensible when it comes to things like that and it's half of the excitement. I knew from mates that I'd be ok to take heroin a few times and I only smoked it, but right from the first time, I never bought into it. I genuinely didn't see the point of it as a recreational drug. It served a purpose when trying to come down and because I didn't think it was anything special maybe thats why I could just say nah without getting addicted.
I would agree that ive been lucky but you only live once and I can say I experienced a lot of things that other's wouldnt and I came out of it unscathed.
How about this, I talked my way into a bikeys club in NZ, heard music, scaled a wall, got chased back over it by bikeys with weapons, found a door, rang bell, said bikeys opened it and said "we just chased you over the wall aye" and I said "yeah sorry about that, I was looking for the way in and ive found it" one replied, "found what bro, you haven't found no way in here, do you know what this place is bro?" I said "no but you have music and I bet you have piiiss (beer) so can I come in?"
They both laughed and said "this is the Lost Breed bikey club" and I said "well as you can see ive not got a bike so does that mean I can't come in? The way I see it is I'm alright with you then you'll be alright with me" they looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders and said "ok you're crazy and have balls I'll give you that but just be careful in there".
I went in and had a right laugh and went there every week after that once the bars had shut at 3am, I found somewhere else to go until whenever you were ready to go home.
Is that something that you'd attempt? Knowing you as I do, of course I know the answer 👍
I'm a risk taker, not so much now but I was back in my 20's, ive done some crazy stuff and I would definitely say I have been lucky. Lucky or just a very good judge of situations I'm not sure but ive come out of everything unscathed.

I got in some bother with the Russian army in Transdniestr, a Russian occupied area in Moldova bordering Ukraine. Scared wasn't the word but my humour didn't leave me. When approached I was told to get out and asked if I had and "arms" I waved mine around and said "ive got these two" and he wasn't amused but it made me laugh and gave me momentary relief from my situation.
Then he checked my car and asked what was in my guitar case and searched through everything but before he'd give me my passport back he kept saying "present, you present" after a a bit the penny dropped and I realised I had to bribe him to get it back but I had nothing, only €50 that I needed until I got to Kiev. So I offered to arm wrestle him and if I won he'd let me have it. Don't know why I came up with that but I needed something and it was all I had. My mate taught me a trick with twisting the wrist and ive been known to beat people stronger than me and he went for it. Luckily I beat him and Owens little trick saved me €50.
I am actually writing a book about my travels, it's called the Adolescent Adventure of Arro, it's not going very quickly I might add but it's well in progress.

I can safely say that my experiences in life have been more toward the mundane. Except for the time that I had to pole vault over a bear to escape it when I fell into a zoo enclosure. Which I might have made up.
Write it all, mate.
