The Sponsor a visit for KRONAS poll...

[preacher]

I feel that the reason why KRONAS is always such a pain in this forum is that he really needs to get some lady action (with no inflatable girls involved!)

Therefore, I feel it might be a good idea to see if anyone would like to create a petition to get Bovril....ahem....I mean Avril to pay him a visit??

[kronas]

great thread yeah could do with a ladies touch :p

and its avril lavigne :p

[Shaun]

You deserve a visit from that skank:D :D :D :p :)

[Stuart]

Send him away.... He could do with some fun..:D

[Russ]

Yeah it would be cool but even more fun to ask her to speak to him without using the words "wow", "totally", "like" and "cool" :D

Complete silence ;) ;)

I'd congratulate her for writing such a bluddy good tune as "I'm with you"....

Just so she could understand it, I'd say it like this, "Wow....like.....cool....totally.....like...awesome tune, it was...like totally....like...cool"

[Sarah]

Aaah go on, why not :D

[Nemesis]

Well, if that's what he wants, what he really really wants.

You got my vote Kronie.

Kate's still better, and I've met her ....

being a metallica fan i cant say metallica sung it bad.. but her version was god-awful like strangling a baby with a cat :eek:. it was at the MTV Icon thing. good job the old krone isnt around or we would be getting flamed (possibly with fuel? ;)) now :p

i dont mind skater boy either, but i think she looks like a complete eejit spelling it in text message language. that should solely be for texts. but then again even i dont spell like that in my messages. i use proper english ;)

arent i sad...

You can't buy humour like that, someone please take him up on the offer and if possible break all of his fingers, we'd no longer have to listen to him or anything about that silly bint he's in love with.

[Dave Stones]

Jeez, I thought you were a yorkshire man.
You've not seen rough till you have seen some parts of Middlesbrough. Actually the women on a night out in Boro scare me too.

Lets get this little popstrel bint to come and play a gig in boro. It'll probably be the last we hear of her.
She'll retire and go live on benefits in Grangetown, become a professional twocer and vandal, have seven kids all within 7 years and will think of ludicrous names such as Avril for them.
She'll live on a diet of cheese n chips (£1.50 from most pizza shops) and vimto. With the occasional expenditure of a bottle of White lightning cider.
Oh yeah and lets not forget, she'll be dripping with jewelery from Elizabeth Duke :p

[Chimaera]

But will Kronas still fancy her in this guise?? :D

[anarion]

yes he will but i'm sorry kronas but you've got it all wrong...

avril = no
amy lee = yes!!!!

Just a small point about Miss Lavigne... you say she can't sing live.... brings back memories of Mili Vanili where they had someone else do the singing and put better faces to a voice...

you CERTAIN this isn't the case here?

[Bifta]

Can't sing live in "crappy arena's"? How come plenty of other bands manage it? Singing out of key is not an ailment peculiar to the venue, I'd say it's attributed to her complete lack of talent and let's face it, she could take a crap in your bed and you'd tell us all it smelt of roses.

kronas - you are/were the topic.

IT wise you will pass your course - Credit? Distinction?

It is the project work you must try harder with, reputation is one thing, evidence is another - for one thing use punctuation, fgs!

- and, sorry, evidence - again!

- you can't "just" have an opinion!

You must have a reasoned, balanced argument?

[TigaSefi]

lol, kronas have reasoned balanced arguments in his papers ? I have more chance of winning the lottery than him do that.
