Reason: Some of my little mocking laugh men don't work... still don't?? feck it.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

The bulletin board software inserts spaces into long text strings. I think it does this to prevent the screen width getting unmanageable. As for how many characters it permits before doing so ... you count them:
Your :laugh smilies each take up 6 characters and you put no spaces between them. I would expect every 8th to get broken (except in the odd occasion where the space gets inserted after the 'h' and before the next ':'. That does indeed happen after the third and before the fourth block of smilies.
The solution is to put spaces between the smilies thus:

PS What was the joke, anyway?
Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
No. It is because they are the most odious, self entitled bunch of w****** in English Football.
Alex Ferguson, Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes ... Basically everyone who has ever played for them qualifies as a complete ****

Everybody "hates" their local rivals (e.g. Rangers/Celtic), but Man U are everybody's local rivals. Let me explain.
Man U fans come from all over the country. So those who live around North London rival Arsenal, Spurs and Watford fans... those around West London rival Chelsea, QPR, Fulham and Brentford... in Bristol they rival Bristol City and Bristol Rovers... and so on.
The other thing is this. These fans don't support their local sides, but instead chose Man U. They explain that this is because of their long-lost great-grandads or fifth cousins who lived somewhere in Lancashire. This doesn't stack up of course. Consider the number of fans in London who support Birmingham and say it is because a long lost relative lived there. Birmingham is bigger than Manchester, so there should be even more of them, but I don't know any.
Man U are successful, so the real reason, as the rest of fans know, is the reflected glory and the kudos they think they get in the classroom, the workplace or the pub.
There are Man U fans from Manchester - such as Tony who posts on here - but generally these aren't hated much by the rest of the country, only by Man City fans.
