And a special mention to all the agents who have helped make this day possible. Think I might celebrate with a nice chilled fake Fanta this evening, accompanied by an out of date packet of crisps that I've been saving for a special occasion just like this. Cheers everybody. Happy Gap Day, my red fellows. Now that the Gap is old enough to drink here in the States I’m going to take him out to a bar tonight called, “The Snake and Barrow” and treat him to some chewing tobacco and a bottle of Jack “Colin” Daniel. Might even hire him a 1920s themed stripper, Phillips the Flapper - she comes highly recommended by all accounts.

For an apology to have true meaning, it should be unconditional. Regardless, I think the story has probably run its course on this forum and we should get back to unconditionally taking the piss out of the gappers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I think the story has probably run its course on this forum and we should get back to unconditionally taking the piss out of the gappers. Exactly, an apology should be active not passive. So if I insult you I can either say: "I'm sorry I insulted you" - active , taking responsibility for my behaviour, or "I'm sorry you feel insulted" - passive, not accepting responsibility but at best regretting your response to my insult. As I posted above politicians do this all the time. Apart from politicians never accepting responsibility for anything anyway, I suspect lawyers advise them to do it so as to not admit liability. But as you say, time to get back to mocking the Gas. Unapologetically. Edited October 28, 2021 by chinapig 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 1 hour ago, Monkeh said: I would like to apologise is the very definition of an apology His words were "I apologise if anyone was offended" Not apologising for what he said. He then went on to make it sound like it's the social media driven world we live it that was the problem, not the fact that what he said was down right wrong...! Arguably the most meaningless apology possible. Like being caught with another blokes wife, then saying "I'm sorry if you don't like me shagging your wife" rather than... I'm sorry for shagging your wife. It was wrong and I deserve whatever consequences come my way as a result of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I am amazed there was no statement from the family club. Their silence is deafening and I make no apologies for that (if anyone was offended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 In a few years time, the Gap will no doubt be looking to settle down with "Mrs Gap".

Yes, and before long Mrs Gap will be nagging him to weed the garden, wash the car, go shopping or take the nippers to the park on a Saturday, which means he won’t be able to attend games. So no change there then… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
