"cliquey chav b***end" alert.

Waiting for the kids and wife to finally get ready before we go to the beach and found this amusing misunderstanding on ph:

It used to be more obvious that FON is a term of endearment when it linked to Da Rulez.

Still, you've got to be a particularly sensitive lovey if you're offended by a FON.

Personally I find PH to be a pretty unpleasant place. Each to their own!

I wouldn't say this place is full of chav's . There's a few that are up their own backsides though .

"Some Gump", apt username. IIRC, I can think of zero air-lift guys EVER offering a FON to a new user. Everyone is invisible to the bagged brigade unless they post a photo of their car so low it could be mistaken for a worm rapist.
Nope. Pretty much everyone that partakes the FONage is the opposite of a scene boi and could be described as having curmudgeon for blood. If I'm honest, FON is a form of hazing as Shoppinit has eluded, if someone can't handle a FON, then they should take their kitten heels and Gucci handbag someplace else.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Maybe he's one of those that comes on the forum once every three months to ask a question about how to get a wheel bolt off or something similarly uninteresting, gets arsey when no-one immediately replies or if they dare to attempt any remark not strictly related to the question, then disappears until he's got another problem and needs help. Plenty of those around.

Those types appear to think that the forum is a public service, staffed with paid experts there to answer every question, no matter how retarded, in a timely fashion while refraining from any banter or other conversational interaction. I often honestly wonder if these people might be on the autistic spectrum.

Not talking about you bam, we know that the autistic spectrum is no longer but a dot to you.

I agree - there's more than a little irony in moaning about this place on ph - ph is after all land of the c-unit, sometimes.
