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!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
