I'm saying this as a man who knows Mike.


Oh, and thanks for spilling about my 'hunch'. Now everyone will recognise me as I lurch up and down Lordship Lane, doing my shopping.


PS - thanks for the sympathy, *Bob*.

So, would I be correct in assuming that some of you are implying that I'm a reincarnation of a former (unwelcome?) user?


If this is the case, and you're surreptitiously using that as a default excuse to ignore, or dismiss what I claim and opine on as false, then frankly that seems like the cowardly way out.


Is this how you treat all newcomers, even if they've tried to make amends for any indiscretion?


Oh and, *Bob*. You're quite right to point-out that I misspelt 'offence'. But if we're going to be pedantic, there's a 'y' in betchya.

I think it is fair to say that this is exactly how the forum will treat any newcomers who are as peculiarly, erm, forthright as you are. You are more than welcome to apologise for misjudging the tone of this forum and being very offensive, and I think Ladymuck was very gracious to accept so quickly. But just as you claim the right to speak so frankly, others have the right to find your apology insincere or simply inadequate.


No one on here asked for a superhero, Axeman, and no one elected you to the post of chief whip. So don't be surprised that you aren't getting a warm welcome.


(Yes Brum sweetie, I know. Sorry.)

No way Axeman's Mike - unless Mike has spent every hour god sends since his unfortunate Nunhead ramblings at the school of spelling and rhetoric and didacticism.


Axeman, you were quite rude, but no ruder I think than some people already on here - so I'm going to go against the flow and not tell you to f@ck off. I think you're right to say there's insincerity on here, but you're wrong to assume that nobody really likes each other - they do - and axe or no, they'll hack you to pieces if you suggest otherwise.


Anyway, for my part, welcome, with one massive caveat. Pronouncing yourself the Chief Whip and talk of "putting the stick about" is the kind of pomposity that suggests you're masturbating furiously in front of both a mirror and your computer screen. So, you know, don't.

Yes there probably is insincerity on this forum, and I've only ever been to a couple of the forum "socials" because smalltalk with strangers isn't really my bag. So I kind of understand what axeman is on about.


But plenty of people enjoy the drinks, so why criticise? I don't get it.

He is so obviously a troll....why pamper to that?

Oh dear Karter and LM. In one sentence you are both telling him to f off and in another there's no reason for him to be banned, it's a learning experience. This person doesn't want to exchange opinions with forumites. He just wants to wind people up. You two have had your happy pills far too early.

    • Either to borrow or buy for a pickup tomorrow evening! 
    • Did Xmas in Southern India years ago, odd having piped carols when there was no actual celebration.  Cuba was nice and chilled.  Viet Nam before mass tourism on a very quiet beach.  Mexico/ Oaxaca was lovely and sunny with a radish festival too.  Iceland was exactly that - cold and very icy and we got snowed in.  My favourite in Spain was Granada and going down to the beach (and swimming) on Xmas day.  Did the same in Morocco.  Central Nigeria was a different one with lots of singing and dancing at a three hour church service and all the bright colours.  Two times in small resorts in France skiing, once with an absolute bucket full of snow on Xmas evening.  Mountain restaurants open. London dull in comparison.  Not that I am competing of course.
    • It's Christmas, Mal, I'd like to think admin may be a bit looser at this time of year. Goodwill to all men and all that, even Scousers, the French and some Canadians. Have an easy-peeler, a Morrisons own brand Cinzano and lemonade, a toke on this beauty, listen to my post-dubstep-style mash-up of 'Little Donkey' and Frankie Knuckles' 'Your Love' and let the thread go where it will. We're strangely reverential about the Christmas period in this country. Christmas Day in Spain is a bit different, the big day is 'Kings' Day' on the 6th of January.  I've spent a couple of Christmases in a tiny village in the Sierra Nevada outside Granada with an (English) ex-girlfriend's family and it's exhausting to celebrate both British and Spanish style. You start on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day, Boxing Day, a village fiesta apropos of nothing to do with Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the neighbouring village's fiesta, and only then the big day of Kings' on the 6th. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's posted on the 'Fireworks' thread, I thought is was a reenactmentent of Guernica. Thankfully, Coviran - it's a bit like Spar used to be - do an excellent 'Feliz Navidad' fiesta package of six bottles of local red, six white, 24 bottles of Alhambra beer and an okay-quality Serrano jamon (with stand and knife) for about the price of a decent round in the EDT. One fiesta deal every couple of days works well. Christmas Day in Toronto is like any other day, just  even duller - Sunday-service transport and the  LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) shop is shut. Those who take their drinking seriously need to plan ahead. They also have a strange custom of going to the pictures on Christmas Day evening, rather than watching 'Oliver!' and trying to fleece your niece for her Christmas cash in a game of Connect Four. It's a bit different in Goa, but brilliant. It was a Portuguese colony, so they go mad on it. It's quite magical. I spent one Christmas Day where, after seeing the previous night's hangover off with a prawn caldine and a bottle of local coconut feni, the tide ebbed away to reveal the most perfect, flat wicket for a game of tape-ball cricket. 25 or so a side, ravers versus locals, I batted in the middle order and was building a solid, if unspectacular, innings until I hit a pull shot of such exquisite timing it still visits me in my dreams, only to be caught at square leg by a little, local lad, bollocks-deep in the surf and wearing a Santa hat. Christmas isn't what it used to be. Keep the parks open!
    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
