I'm not strict on this type of thing, mainly because moderation already takes up enough of my limited time, topics weave back and forth and people can reminisce and tangents form, major tangents sometimes get a new topic but ultimately, I'm not dealing with it because I've done this for far too long to care now
Trolling - The name comes from trolling for fish, you post baited statements or opinions as fact and expect to hook unsuspecting posters into wasting their time responding. Pretty solid definition there.
I think my dad had a fishing trophy from Clyde Alloy, don't think it was the Hayton one though, my dad knew him, he said he was a typical spark, became socially awkward when being asked to work (this is a taught technique, so I approve of your GF :D) Clyde Alloy Scotland/Motherwell buses were cracking fun
What was his surname? How long did he work there? Is he a well fan? My old man helped run the sports and social in the Clyde Alloy and buses were ran to Hampden regularly, my dad was there from 54'ish until he retired in 91
