Nah, he was just looking for an excuse to have a go. He thinks that if he's 'protecting' someone else then it gives him a white card.


He doesn't think you're big enough to look after yourself, and he doesn't realise that the thought itself is condescending and patronising. He doesn't understand why people find him dislikeable, and doesn't have the imagination to see his behaviour as others would seee it.


Just part of the silly grievance he has against the world in general for not showing him enough love ;-)

Oh Huguenot, I feel so terribly inadequate that the best I could come up with was "the kind of pomposity that suggests you're masturbating furiously in front of both a mirror and your computer screen."


Still though, snap.

That would have to be some gymslip from Pennsylvania who likes trucks if google is anything to go by. I can't believe there's only one usage of 'oudeous' in t'interwebland!!


Well, i guess that's three now.

It would certainly be spectacularly contrived if I registered a new identity yesterday in order to send myself rude messages today so as to react to Axeman's challenge that presumably I saw in my Crystal Ball?


I confess I wouldn't have thought of it myself, jalapeno, there must be a veritable Moriarty inside you struggling to get out!

You're right in one sense DJKQ, but Admin doesn't actaully need access to the PM.


The server itself will have a log file covering instructions sent to alter the database (which is required to post or send a PM). Because the PM is time-stamped it wouldn't take a second to locate the relevant instruction, which will contain within it the IP address of the originator.


The IP address can be cross referenced against other posters to reveal who else posts from that address.


It could be someone else using the same computer, but since strangers rarely create new identities to send hatemail it's most likely to be a frequent poster on that PC.


But as I said, hardly worth it.




Firstly, let me assure you that I wouldn't dream of sending ugly, unsolicited emails. It's illegal, not to mention amateur.



Secondly,






Yes, Huguenot, I'm familiar with the scene you're referring too.


But as a fan, I'm sure you're equally familiar with the similarities in subplot in both the thread I've attached and the film, American Psycho.


In the form of American Psycho's often spoke of, but never seen, Paul Allen. A successful and much revered member of his little coterie of equally narcissistic and repellent 'friends'. Paralleling the thread I attached, he goes missing. And throughout the film, and the thread, his disappearance is intermittently touched upon, raising the possibility that he may still be alive, living abroad, in either London or Singapore (I can't remember). And like the eventual outcome of the thread, in an equally unexplained twist, it turns out he was infact, there all along.


If only reality hadn't mirrored Brett Easton Ellis' fictitious finale.


And like the character flaws in the film, Huguenot, your arrogant, self assured attitude tells me that you're not averse to comparing, amongst others 'things', business cards.



Now, you'll have to excuse me, Huguenot. I have to return some video tapes.

Perceptions, there are many and whether you plummet to the lowest configuration of them all is your choice alone. I rest my case.


Pleasant Evening!

That was a case?


In your quest for an aphorism Moriarty, I fear you confuse a lesser mortal such as myself.


I may have to resort to a sacrifice as prescribed by your good self: "If you have an alramingly large void in your brain that no trick in the book could cure but reduced to resorting to exceedingly desperate measures to overcome this element, do your self a favour, banish yourself to hell by setting yourself on fire."


Buona notte!

Quel dommage!


There was me thinking you would come up with something original given your profound insight into politics. There is something I'm dying to quote on your behalf but we could argue all night and day. Not worth the time. So I say take your own advice and have a life!

    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
