what a fucking dickhead, is there no end to him?

To quote someone earlier, "

he reminds me of people at school who, although everyone who was even in the slightest bit sane knew was a twat, but who was popular in their own little pathetic group.. and therefore thought it applied to the whole world, or something. does that make any sense? but really, there are few things worse than people who think that they're great when really, there is very little good about them at all. "

DiScuss.



  • Maybe he's winding everyone up?

    By being very selfish and stuff?

    Still, TheWildSon is worse: his Last.fm URL is 'randomteen'. Ouch.

    • true

      I'd love it if he was playing heel, but I think 'ol Tony is legit like that :(

    • :(

      Cut me deep.

      To be honest, I made that account about four years and regret the username, but don't want to change because my list is so massive now.

      • 2 years ago by my count

        but close!

        • Um, okay.

          It's great that you actually checked!

        • i'm marvelling

    • TheWildSon

      isnt bad but anthonus, i know its the internet and everything and you can say what you want but it doesnt exactly endear you to anyone and you just come across as a bit of an arrogant twat, regardless whether what you say is true or not

      • Agreed.

        Except for the whole "WildSon isn't bad part"...

        TheWildSon blows.

        • bad" part*

            • Aha!

              That was you?! I'm amazed. But she'll be far less fun now that I know... :(

              • i always thought she was a guy

                maybe that's why charlie sheen punched her in the ace.

      • ^^

      • ...

        On that post: What I said was entirely true. The thing about everyone knowing my name is what she said. What I said was relevant to the thread and meant as a "Just talk to people you recognise when you see them, they'll take it as a compliment like I did..."

        Because certain groups of people seem to like me, and I mention incidents involving those people, I'm automatically an arrogant twat? Yeah... I bet you'd enjoy it if the same thing happened to you, eh? It certainly wouldn't be something you'd make a point not to mention because of what people might think of you...

        Generally: It's also no secret that I have high self-confidence and try my best to hold my own opinions regardless of how 'the group' will take it. Although it's nice to be liked I purposely make sure I don't hold myself back or make myself fake in any way...

        Now if I read that back I realize how it could appear smug and arrogant... I've just gone and said nice things about myself, haven't I? In the presence of a group of people such as Martbowski, who has such low confidence in himself that he feels a need to badger and bully people online to make himself feel big and gain approval from this DiS group who he claims to not care for at all... to him, it's obviously evidence of how much better than him I think I am. How much of an arrogant twat am I, eh? (sarcasm)

        nb: most of that REALLY WAS written with the aim of winding Mart up. :P

        • But

          why would you even bother mentioning it? It doesn't impress anyone at all.

          And usually, when I say that I don't like someone on here (which is often cos I have no life LOL), most people have a go at me, but with you, no-one disagrees, except some slag you happen to associate with in real life.

          Even people who are usually pretty nice on here dislike you, so for once, it's not just me,

        • its all well and good

          not holding back or being fake, great, but its nice to have some social skills, you were basically dropping in to the conversation the fact that your universally adored, and not just on that occasion, i know you dont care but you could tone down on the bigging yourself up.

          • I'm not intentionally bigging myself up.

            It's a matter of what topics come up at whatever time. I recently remember making a post where I admit to the way jealousy is an emotion that has screwed me up in the past, and I've admitted to the weakness that is my residual feelings towards my first love... they're not bigging myself up, they're the complete opposite. I have no problem with admitting to my flaws.

            I know what I'm like, though, and I know I need to be in an open group of individualistic, confident and competitive people who can't be insulted and love to have fun, but can also be serious and helpful if the need arises. Which really isn't hard to find...

            'Normal' people do tend to disagree with my attitude, which I can accept. They form cliques and have a fairly strict social order that they adapt themselves to fit into, they tell white lies to each other, they hold back when somiething comes to mind that their friends would disagree with... my personality doesn't fit with that. I come into conflict in this sort of way a lot...

            I'm quite a social person so I get acquainted to whole new groups of people quite regularly. Some people I met in Liverpool, I felt very uneasy. One group of Manchester people, pretty sure they dislike me. Another group in Manchester, we get on time. Another Manchester group, I fit right in. A group in Leeds, fairly individualistic is the impression I get of them, so naturally I get on better with some than others from the start. Love those people. :) In college, I fit in perfectly with practically everyone.

            I just spend more time with the people I get on with better, and make GOOD friends with the people I REALLY gel with. As most people do...

            The only way to change myself into someone who is universally liked by all groups is to become someone else. Unfortunately that isn't gonna happen... so I'll settle for being disliked by a lot of people, on this board and in life in general. I don't ENJOY it by any means, but it doesn't affect me. :)

            And cor blimey, what a rant that was. I should shut up now and give my fingers a rest...

            • i dont think a lot of people

              dislike you on this board, i dont dislike you, i just thought some of your posts were a bit too self satisfied, you dont seem like a bad person or anything.

              • Oh, right.

                That's nice to hear. Thanks. :)

  • Do you think it's alright to call someone you don't even know a "fucking dickhead"???

    And in front of so many people?
    I think it's DiScusting.
    I know Tony personally and you have the wrong idea there. Judging him on that one post?!

    He doesn't think he's better than everyone else. And he doesn't think he's the most popular guy in the world either. He's very down to earth. He knows he's not everyone's cup of tea.

    And as for "there is very little good about them at all" he is one of the most honest, genuine guys I know and he is a breath of fresh air! He doesn't judge, he'd do anything for his friends and he is a NICE GUY! I suggest you apologise to him for talking about him ike that. It's uncalled for - what has he ever done to you?

    • @Anthonus

      You totally owe me £10 now :P

                is exactly what i'd expect one of his friends to say - ie: detailing every little thing about their public life on the internet

                • Yes, with only a few sentences, mainly about Tony...

                  I have told you all about my "public" life! ¬_¬

                      And at the same time retorting. Who cares if it wasn't particularly funny?

                      Also - if I was a guy and had said the same thing you wouldn't have cared. No "who cares if you're a straight guy" comment.

                          go back to begging people to go to music festivals with you.

                          • Cool!

                            Look how easy you are to anger.

                            • I've never understood why i'm 'angry'

                              I just have a dislike for boring music fans.

                              • Your silly knee-jerk reaction suggested that.

                                You couldn't even think up a half-decent insult.

                                      are the ones he dislikes. he never said anything bad about interesting music fans.

                                      • Ah, I thought he was saying music fans were boring in general

                                        Fair enough.

                                        I'd still like to knwo who I'm supposedly racist against though... care to shed light Martbowski?

    • It's not on that on post really,

      most of the posts he makes on here come across as really smug and arrogant, and basically, twattish.

      No idea what he's really like... but yeah.

  • bf

    I don't get it

    wasn't he recounting in that story how a bunch of girls called him over so they could mock him in a 'lets flirt with the uncool guy' way?

    Anyway, stop being horrible to my son

    • GROCKLE

      you - the man

      Tony - a mere shadow of the man.

      • ...

        It started out that was a few years ago. I was the weirdo in year 8 who had messy long hair and a moustache. This guy in the year above asked my name, and I said "Tony Ross" is a really funny foreign accent. So every time he and his friends saw me they'd chant my name and bow down to me and stuff.

        It spread to the whole year group and eventually got to the point where it wasn't even taking the piss any more and I played up to it a bit. Twas all fun.

        Then people in the year below me picked up on it by the time I was at 6th form, and then my 6th form merged with another 6th form, and it spread between schools. Now it's not really a mocking thing AT ALL, just a general greeting when certain people see me.

        The two schools don't mix much but I got invited to a party by people from the other school the other week, and I was liked, so now have a wider circle of new friends and more from that group keep showing up and pulling stunts like those. :P

        It isn't a case of me being mocked, but isn't a case of me being something godly either ... but I do enjoy it.

        And I'll happily accept life in Grockle's shadow. He is so the man. :P

        • eurgh.

        • bf

          You had a moustache in year eight?!

          Maybe I was the man...

          • Unfortunately...

            the rest of my face hasn't quite caught up yet. My cheeks are bare. :( I wanna beard!

        • i love the chirpy tone of this post

          in the face of 'what a fucking dickhead - is there no end to him...'

  • can we just ban everyone who posted on this please?

  • i like anthonus.

    i like everyone on here, actually.

    i love when mart makes threads slagging off someone, because they're usually totally unjustified and it's funny watching himself think he's cool by being a cunt to someone he doesn't even know.

    • zzzzzz

      • you better get to bed if you're falling asleep, mart!

        school time tomorrow!

        • it'd be funnier

          If you weren't only two years older than me.

          I know you look like a 40 year old widow, but you're not that old yet!

          • a lot of growing up happens in those two years.

        probably least offensive people on DiS?

        i don't know why mart has taking a 'liking' to you both.

        • It's because i'm so uptight.

          • you should be more laid back like him

            and make moronic threads about how much other people annoy you.

        • it's because they're inoffensive.

          that's it.

    • that was amazing, though.

      That guy was so weird...

      • Maybe

        But I've washed 5 times since I read that and I'm still not feeling clean...

  • I don't get this post at all.

    I honestly don't understand the conclusion people have come to based on what Athonus said.

    I mean I'm maybe a bit sympathetic, when I was at school or Uni or whatever people tended to know who I was (not 'cos I was anyone special or anything - I imagine a fair few people took the piss out of me on the sly 'cos I was different - but 'cos I just seem to have one of those faces that's not quite like anyone else's!) but that certainly didn't mean I thought I was great in anyway, and I didn't really think that's what Athonus was saying either.

    To be honest, Martbowski, I think you've maybe misinterpreted Anthonus's post a bit- and read more to it than is there. Maybe there's other posts too that I don't know about but, based on that, I really don't get why you think Antonus think he's great.

    • ...

      There's this as well: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/1785225#r1788307

      I see what the big problem with it was now. The irony of the mention of 'legendary status' was lost online... people need to realize that I can say shit like that and not actually mean it.

      • Ah yes

        It's tricky being on line. I think I've said things a couple of times that sounded arrogant when they really, really weren't (I can out-inferiority complex anyone!!!) but 'cos people don't know you, they don't know how you mean it.

  • He lives in cotton wool

    Never had to worry about real things

    It's difficult to have respect for him

    • there's a difference between respect and manners.

    • who?

    • And you're saying this based on meeting him?

      Or based on a few posts on an internet messageboard where tone and nuances of speech can't come across?

      How the hell do you know whether he's had to worry about "real things" or not?

      I've never met Anthonus and, as such can't defend him per se, but - unless I'm wrong and you do know him better than I assume - I do think it's a bit silly to claim such definite knowledge of him without at least knowing him in person first.

      • was he not talking about martbowski?

        • Maybe but based on where his message is in the formatting

          I thought he was talking about Anthonus.

          I'm sure we'll find out soon enough anyway.

    • I accept that.

      I've never lived alone or had to pay bills or had the burden of having to keep a job to live or anything like that. So you're right... I am still young.

      But I've had to deal with plenty of the big events like death and bullying and suchlike, too. And sleeping rough, too. That was a fun time. :)

      Not sure exactly what you class as 'real things' apart from things involving money... explain to me what I have to do to earn your respect? You know... so I know when it is that people like you will start considering me equal to them.
