Misodoctakleidist Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Tevez does look more simian than porcine so maybe the American term is apt in this instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP THAT is why we dont call it monkey in the middle vic taylor has no interest in helping you with your question and simply wants to get his post count up The OP didn't have a question. He already knew that both terms meant the same thing. He was commenting on it. If you read my previous posts on this thread, you will see I also helped someone else because they didn't know what the OP was talking about. I've seen several of your posts on seperate threads, and let me tell you, your posting standard is low. I don't need to try and get my post count up. Neither do I post uselessly like you. I managed to get my post count up to what it is by posting helpful comments, discussing things with people, and being a proper member of this forum. I suggest you take a long hard look at the content of your posts in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llama3 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 it doesnt matter, just dont reply to each other, its not worth the arguing if you think about it america has several phrases to replace ours, things like sophie's choice - hobson's choice etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I am constantly astonished at the ability of some posters to take a simple topic and twist it out of recognition.:confused: Lets also leave the moderation of the forums to the Mods please. P.S to the OP- Pig in the middle was also a training schedule that was used in one of the previous versions of the game, so it will be familiar in a game sense to some and not to others.
