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!

    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
