They both must have been quite upset about it, I imagine. I would have otherwise discussed this topic in the G&T Discord group, but rather unfortunately I have been banned from there and the owner will not allow me back in, for reasons unknown to me, anyway. October 20, 2019 at 4:02 pm #255222 WarbodogParticipant I felt bad for bullying you on the [not G&T and not claiming to be] Discord back then. I read up a lot on your condition after that to try to understand you and be less of a dick. But this still looks like trolling for kicks to me, like you’ve stored it up for too long so it’s too obvious. There’s too much bait. October 20, 2019 at 4:13 pm #255223 Ian SymesKeymaster Ah, I wondered why you’d signed up over here again. You could have just used your old account if you’d have asked. October 20, 2019 at 4:15 pm #255224 Jawscvmcdia (2)Participant Well, from now on I will try to only post relevant material and not anything too off-topic. I wanted a fresh start, so I felt a new account was in order. October 20, 2019 at 4:18 pm #255225 Ian SymesKeymaster In which case I’ll keep the poo emojis on ice for the timebeing. October 20, 2019 at 4:45 pm #255226 WarbodogParticipant If you actually want an answer to your question, your best bet is to ask Rob and Doug on Twitter: @realrobgrant and @DougRDNaylor. (They’d probably find it a bit weird and personal though). October 20, 2019 at 5:49 pm #255227 Ben SaundersParticipant I wasn’t born yet so I didn’t feel anything October 20, 2019 at 9:28 pm #255229 HamishParticipant I was felt warm and safe in my mother’s womb. October 20, 2019 at 11:08 pm #255230 GlenTokyoParticipant It didn’t interrupt my viewing of Thomas the Tank Engine at the time. October 20, 2019 at 11:40 pm #255231 bloodtellerParticipant I don’t wish to be blunt, but the post is enquiring how Rob and Doug felt about their breakup, not about your personal feelings at the time. Please be more considerate in your responses to Jawscvmcdia’s shitposts in the future. Thank you for your time on this Earth, goodnight October 20, 2019 at 11:57 pm #255232 WarbodogParticipant – I learned to deal with shitposts from Jawscvmcdia. I’m not used to the shitposts from Jawscvmcdia (2). – They’re exactly the same. – Yes. That’s the problem. This 1995 article from The Independent says “Naylor tenses when I ask him about his relationship with Grant.” This 2012 feature from Starbust says: “We were best friends since we were nine years old, he was my best friend first and my writing partner second but I confess that I thought it was an absolutely nuts idea us splitting up and I told him more than million times.” There’s probably more you can find beyond the first page of results, they’re a bit cluttered with your previous posts on this same topic. October 21, 2019 at 12:22 am #255233 GlenTokyoParticipant I imagine Rob felt quite relieved based on interviews I’ve seen, I think he was just fully fed up of the repitition, and Red Dwarf being the only creative outlet he had time for. Think the interview on Bodysnatcher (I think) best gets this across. October 21, 2019 at 1:48 am #255234 WarbodogParticipant How does it feel? How does it feel? To break up with Rob? Did it make you sob? Like a trolling knob? October 21, 2019 at 6:12 am #255235 Pete Part ThreeParticipant What’s the link for the Discord page? Sudden urge to sign up. October 21, 2019 at 9:43 am #255237 Taiwan TonyParticipant I can answer this from my own point of view. I was okay with it until I saw series VII. I’d thought there would be 2 books Ref Dwarf published regularly instead of one. I was looking forward to Rob’s new sitcoms. I had no idea. October 21, 2019 at 9:43 am #255238 Taiwan TonyParticipant PS. What’s the condition? October 21, 2019 at 1:06 pm #255242 Dax101Participant I imagine Rob and Doug probably had quite high egos at that time. They had a hugely successful show that had won several awards and they were involved in the attempts at US pilots. aswell as the novels popularity which they were writing the 3rd one of at the time. i think thats pretty much what broke them. The egos and the success. Even if Rob wanted to take a break did they need to do it the way they did? Presumably it was more a fall out. October 21, 2019 at 1:57 pm #255246 bloodtellerParticipant the discord link is here if you’re interested, Pete Part Three. fair warning, it’s not all to do with Red Dwarf. occasionally we talk about other things too, like owls or Seinfeld. https://discord.gg/aCZPxVv October 21, 2019 at 3:57 pm #255255 Kris CarterParticipant At the time, I was pretty gutted. I was super-invested in Red Dwarf VI, and the cliffhanger ending properly messed with me. Having to wait three years back then felt like an eternity, and the delay caused by Rob and Doug splitting, and Craig getting arrested, and Chris wanting to leave too… man, it felt like the rug had been pulled out from under me. In many ways, it helped strengthen my character, and make me the hardened, rough’n’tough emotionless man-husk I am today. October 21, 2019 at 4:37 pm #255260 RamesesNiblickTheThirdParticipant Rob is coming back though hence this new format for the special. Resetting the universe so to speak since 1993. I own a Tardis you see but it’s ok I am also a hermaphrodite now. October 22, 2019 at 4:25 am #255292 MoonlightParticipant Way to make the Jawscvmcdia thread weird. October 22, 2019 at 3:41 pm #255313 Jawscvmcdia (2)Participant @Katydid – Speaking of which, can you unban me from the Discord? October 22, 2019 at 3:50 pm #255314 WarbodogParticipant Katydid, June 10, 2019: We need somebody to fill the void that Jawscvmcdia left after I banned him for hitting on me. October 22, 2019 at 8:07 pm #255319 (deleted)Participant G&T finally gets its Me2 Moment. October 22, 2019 at 8:54 pm #255320 Jawscvmcdia (2)Participant Paging @Katydid Check out this epic unused Sonic 3D Knuckles bonus stage music demo, which is actually the music more commonly known as “Pleasure Castle” in Sonic Adventure: October 22, 2019 at 10:34 pm #255323 Plastic PercyParticipant I know the sort of things Rob and Doug like to feel. No way, Jawscvmcdia, forget it. October 26, 2019 at 11:45 am #255392 MoonlightParticipant Hmm….hmmmm… Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeno. October 26, 2019 at 12:10 pm #255393 (deleted)Participant This is getting a bit uncomfortable now. Alex, you’re being a creep. October 26, 2019 at 12:13 pm #255394 Jawscvmcdia (2)Participant What did I do? October 26, 2019 at 1:05 pm #255395 (deleted)Participant Read eight posts back and repeat until it clicks. October 26, 2019 at 1:40 pm #255396 Plastic PercyParticipant You letch on someone to the point you’re banned from a chat room, then try to get their attention by @ing them on here and sucking up to them. October 26, 2019 at 2:20 pm #255398 WarbodogParticipant Serves her right for being a female fan of two of his crossover interests, doesn’t it? It’s lucky she’s not also a fan of Ayrton Senna, ChuckleVision and the September 11th 2001 attacks, or he’d be even worse. October 27, 2019 at 1:47 am #255401 By Jove its holmesParticipant So answer me these questions, Jawscvmcdia – 1) Who shot JFK? 2) Is Paul McCartney alive? 3) Did man actually land on the moon? 4) was 9/11 an inside job? 5) Did Obama fake the Sandy Hook massacre? October 27, 2019 at 4:09 am #255402 Ben SaundersParticipant I hope I never meet anybody who is “a fan of the September 11th 2001 attacks” October 27, 2019 at 4:44 am #255403 WarbodogParticipant he had a bizarre hyperfixation with 9/11 and would not shut up about it, even interrupting other conversations to send pictures of 9/11 or video footage of 9/11 Referencing this from another thread, already in the public domain. I wasn’t there, so don’t know what his angle was. October 27, 2019 at 11:15 am #255411 International DebrisParticipant He’s that character from Travelers who survived the attacks. October 29, 2019 at 3:49 am #255422 MoonlightParticipant If anyone wants me I’ll be showering forever. October 30, 2019 at 11:31 pm #255434 Taiwan TonyParticipant I don’t think that imagery will help, somehow.
