For long enough now, the regular users of this site have been battering, sniping, bitcing, moaning, and poking pointy sticks at each other from behind their on-line anonymity. Today we launch our new initiative, today is the day we put aside all anger and rage and say hello to our fellow Bridport Radio members, we would encourage you to post all manner of encouraging, helpful, inciteful, positive, uplifting and healthy nuggets for all members and non-members to take a biscuitty uplift from and gift words of empowerment, and, gathering together we can manifest or hooch the impossible for all members, we would like to begin with this little beauty from Goethe which has helped me in many a sticky situation:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too, all sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!"
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe(1749 – 1832), 19th century German writer and scientist
For instance – Here’s another nice piece from denzlepob-at-work:
“Dear Mr. Bat, what a great shot you are, can I help you reload? ”
Not bad for a first post eh? Now it’s you turn, remember to be nice and offer words of encouragement.
Winners
Each week the nicest and most uplifting post will be the proud owner of two big fat chocolate chip cookies from Leakers.
(NB: Bridport Radio recommends a good cup of tea whilst enjoying these biscuits or "cookies", dunk time of 1 second is enough to maintain stability on exit from the tea and the short transition to mouth, we cannot be held responsible for any spillages during the biscuit-cup-mouth transit event, tea can be a hot beverage, always read t’label)

Giving it nice all over Bridders
Sounds like steaming pile of *%£!&%! to me! Balls to it!
I really like chocolate chip cookies. A lot.
I am not sure if I can do this but I will try. The people who contribute to Bridport Radio are a blaaauurgh No I am just not ready for this yet. Let me get this straight Ed, I have to be “”””nice”””” and respect other peoples opinions. I must respond with a loving open heart and mind and send thoughts of love, peace and tranquility. I must offer up a positive and constructive energy in my posts
I know it’s difficult, but give it a go my fine fellows, my dear and revered readers and fair faced contributors… (…urg I feel slightly nauseous…)
Hi Carlito, why not give it another go and try to post something supportive? I am sure you can if you take your time and think things through, be assured that I support your right not to post nice things if that’s really what you prefer 🙂 I applaud your brave attempt to be nice to others Rustic. Well done! Denzlepob, it appears we both have a common love of chocolate chip cookies, how nice 🙂 May I offer my support to any Bridport Radio member who wishes to post nice things in this lovely area of the website. What a lovely heart warming idea Editor, best thing since sliced bread 🙂 Looking forward to my chocolate chip cookie prize which I think I may actually share with others if I win as a way of demonstrating my friendship 🙂
Bridport Radio is a wonderful, safe online environment to visit with charming, funny, witty, informative, helpful, polite contributors full of warmth and charm. I love you all.
I love you all, you are real people, let go that disgusting self loathing and embrace niceness, come on, we can do this, WE CAN BE NICE TO EACH OTHER, ‘sides, I want the biscuits. Cameras everywhere, but probably for the benefit of all, including the CCTV camera company.
Dear The Bat, if I win I will share the cookies with you!!
Dearest Denzlepob and Morning Loves It, I thought your posts were both heart warming and uplifting. What wonderful caring persons you both must be. I love you all. tHe bAt
I love you all so much I’ll count the bricks in your house for nothing
The compassionate and genuine outpouring of love that I have read so far on this site has warmed the very core of my being. It is almost as though the cloud of vitriol that normally envelopes me has been blown away by the wings of a hoarde of heavenly angels. This entire host of angels are holding little hand held heart warmers and are flying around my heart in some ethereal formation spreading a glow of contentment and peace towards my fellow Bridport Radio posters. A rather glorious by product of this is that because every ying has to have a yang the abuse a member page has warmed up a bit.
How Gay! …i’ve been away five minutes and look what happens, you’ll all be writing sickly odes to seagulls (like some sap) before long…this is where it starts!! -don’t believe a word of it, but i’ve gone to barf anyway -just in case.
This is as refreshing as the summer sea breeze that lifts the morning mist over the town, or the heady smell of Honeysuckle in the deep lanes of the Marshwwod Vale on a hot summers evening. Brothers, Sisters, take arms with me and dance, embrace the love we share!
Tuzo I actually laughed out loud at your post 81. Then I spewed all over my screen. As I type this, a small piece of diced carrot is sliding past this woooord. Born with your mother? How does that work? Are your and your mother twins?
Tonight for tea I had stir fried chicken breasts in a thai green curry sauce over beanshoots, how lucky am I?
luckier than the chickens ?(denzlepob)
As much as I enjoy the thrust, lunge and parry of a good keyboard bun fight I can’t help thinking that my sometimes gladiatorial approach is somehow demeaning to the site and is getting in the way of good reasoned debate. I am taking unilateral action and having the summer off from being so confrontational however I have to draw the line at being nice so cheerio and have a great summer and see you in the Autumn.
What a bunch of ****** you all are ….. (ooops, sorry wrong thread). Hah Hemm, … just thought I’d log on and wish all you lovely Bridport Radio members a happy and peaceful day. If I am fortunate enought o win the wonderful cookie prize offered within this very thread, i would like all my friends on Bridport Radio to know that i will donate them immediately to a Rumanian orphanage. God bless you all (or whatever diety you worship etc. etc. blah blah blah). tHe bAt
Hello everyone, I am orf to France on Wednesday and back on the first of August, if anyone would like fags or wine please let me know, missing you already, Denzlepob. P.S. please do not burgle my rented accomodation.
you bloody great fibber (C’lito) …rellies in oxford indeed!!! –who are they? -Uncle Monty, Radiohead??? You don’t have to pretend to be a non-smoker to impress us… and it makes no difference to the validity of your comments… but when you’re standing outside a pub, in full view of everyone with a fag in your gob…BLATANTLY that makes you a smoker. Bill Clinton lost a lot of credibility with his ‘i did not inhale’ comment, so, go and have a fag-break and come back, and come clean rizzla boy! Thanks for the lighter by the way! hahaaa
Strike one!!
Agree bat, especially after all the constructive things you said about me and the town!
Have Bridport Radio been organising competitions for the BBC? I smell a rat here (or should I say Bat)! ?-Ed
Your just jealous matey boy. I shall think of you when I am scoffing the goods with a nice cup of tea. Be nice now, don’t forget it’s a[B]weekly[/B]prize so there’s more up for grabs.
Artist arrested for homer-erotic painting
I forgive you Carlito. If I win the next weekly cookie prize I will give one cookie to you and the other to those seagulls, who after all do have a right to life just like the rest of us.
wont be a mob (see western gazette) one patient mother and devoted father gull.. god love em! (carlito 25)
I love you too and to prove it if I win I promise to give it to the nearest fatty. (I hate big fat chocolate cookies anyway)
No they don’t…!! Make sure there’s a MASSIVE dose of bicarbonate of sulphur in those Cookies before you feed th Shitehawks…!
According to my calculations the next cookie prize should have been awarded on the 23rd of July, and then the next one is due in 3 days time on the 30th. Come on editor, KEEP UP! Who won the prize from the 23rd then? ____________ denzlepob-at-work won, but is apparently on holiday – so I ate ’em – I need to keep my strength up after staring at my computer for hours on end – Ed
AND… WHO won the prize for the 30th (today)???????
Post 11. Written by mad majors mate, he will get the cookies, if of course he fulfills his promise…
I am back now, can I have a biscuit? I love you all.
