I donât think you should mate. In fact, I think you should probably resign from the board.
The Celebrity Spotting Thread Part Twee (or help Flatty identify the celeb he just spotted) (Part 1)
I wasnât claiming a spot
The way youâre going you wonât be awarded any either.
Lets not worry about the whole Mick Lawlor debacle mate.
The Hickey thing throws up a number of hitherto unconsidered issues for the Official Adjudicator (that would be me) of this thread. There are important philosophical questions involved here. Should retro spots be considered? What is their validity? What if the spotee is now in fact dead? Are they merely reminiscences, or valuable content to be added to this repository of celebrity engagement.
As you are aware, I have been on something of a leave of absence from this thread for some weeks, a period of great reflection has been had and I feel spiritually engaged with my task once more. This is mainly due to your Hickey retro spot. It forced me to consider these issues, which I believe are fundamental to the the entire pursuit of celebrity spots.
I have therefore, after much reflection, prayer, alcohol and consideration come to the following conclusion - retro spots will be allowed, provided the spotee is still alive at the time of posting AND is a person of interest in terms of current affairs. Hickey is most certainly alive and is most certainly a person of current interest.
Therefore, I judge this to be a spot, not a fine one due to the lack of detail, but a spot nonetheless. 2/5.
I canât say any fairer than that.
Appreciate itâs a live spot and format must become secondary to the spot itself, so yes Fran old pal, that is most definitely a spot. 3/5
I liked the detail in your next post as well.

Itâs all to play for chaps. I expect a tsunami of spots on Monday after the weekend thatâs in it. I thank you for your contributions and support.
Keep your eyes peeled, be careful out there.

Put the VB down, move closer the the alligator-infested billabong and jump in for a swim like a good chap there.
Jesus croppy, the last time you replied to me was a mirror of that post. Get some new material man, youâre beginning to sound like @balbec
If I keep repeating it youâll eventually follow the instructions.
Watch your back you hick fuck. Youâve been warned.
I think he needs to be awarded an extra pt & the elusive 5/5 score for his totally uncalled for lengthy interaction.
Great admin work out of you buddy.
Why, what would you do?
