As much as I enjoyed the fight I agree it's done, time to move on.

Sense of humour monitor - zero

The art of humour is knowing when you've flogged a joke to death. 

There are only a few threads on here that are universally funny forever. 

This for example:

I'm a little bit nervous about bumping this thread, but someone on these forums is going to be taking a bit of time off very soon.

I also noticed a lovely message on twitter yesterday "That cider was provided by our NEW sponsors" I think someone is going bye bye...

Cider in the Mezz bar 100%. Not sure if anywhere else.

End of an era.  Vinnie - It's over.

If anyone cares for my inane babbling follow @iluvnix17 on the Twitter.

Only a fool would think it was going to be in place forever, it was however in place when the idiot claimed his victory.

No it wasn't. It expired at the conclusion of season 2013/14.

Gotta feel for Adelaide then, they had to drop their Coopers sponsorship because of it.

Based on evidence, there is only one idiot here....

Perhaps you can go to Weka Park and tell everyone you are still right.

So I just read this thread from early June up until now...

Can I just say the most annoying thing in the thread was everyone telling them to stop it, and that they were bored of the fighting blah blah blah

NO ONE WAS BORED OF THE FIGHTING! 

It was immensely entertaining, so much laughs, I wish everyone had just shut the hell up and let them carry on going hammer and tongs!

Best thread ever.

Well to be fair Paul, I got the warning from the mods. 

(By the way mods, the previous post will be my only comment on this thread until Nightz' ban is enforced so you have no need to warn me)

Annoyed the fuck out of me, I kept seeing 30+ new messages and thought the nix had signed a new sponsor only for the same old shit to be bandied about.

I dont need to be right now do I, I was right when you claimed victory (when the bet expired).

bull.

He said Carlsberg were going to be a sponsor of the phoenix. 

Reasonable time frame on that is for the upcoming season.

It is like a streaker or a fight on a sportsfield, where the commentators say "no one wants to see that" when everyone wants to see it.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite

Tegal, what sort of turkey thinking is that?

Firstly there was no mention at all about Carlsberg at all when the bet was made so try getting your facts right before butting your beak in.

Secondly an announcement of a sponsorship deal in time for the upcomming season could have been expected as reasonable but the fool claimed victory before any such announcement had been made so bets over.

how does prematurely claiming victory cancel a bet? 

Might have to be careful not to say aloud that I've won before cashing in my winning TAB slips in future in that case.

Its like a having a discussion with a brick wall chatting with you so I don't think I'll waste my time anymore.

I think the bit where you said: "so bets [sic] over" was what Tegal was referring to.

It won't be three months, because at the time we propsoed the rule, the sponsor of the rule was left handed, which means that the third line of every third post in this thread has to be ignored due to solar flares. And that means that in fact the person banning Knightz has to first ban themsleves, otherwise they will be violating their hypocritical oath.

See, it's clear. You shouldn't have bet at the TAB in the first place. Now you just have to accept that everyone else is wrong. Otherwise the Conservative party wins.
