I haven't read all of this thread but enough to get the gist that Hal is upsetting Sean who has stated he should retire like Piers. Meanwhile Hal was warned not to upset anyone else (ie a moderator) or the forum would be shut down. Thus if Sean in his role, which I'm not sure I can mention out loud, were to retire from it, then it would be HAL's fault and the end of the forum would be nigh.As my post about moderators was moved to the 'about the forum' section which nobody ever looks at, should I conclude that there is some conspiracy happening here about which I know very little but which appears to have on one side HAL as the victim and two others as the aggressors? Or have I got that all wrong? Help!

Nothing Hals fault declan. Chill

your boots. Im just exhausted with nonsense arguments. By the time I regretted saying I would leave people had quoted my post so I left it. Hal isn't in any trouble


you on the other hand


your post about moderation Is about the forum so it's in the right place. If noone goes there then that just proves my point about conspiracies and people.


I moderate on here. It's been recorded on the forum many a time Happy? Not all moderators are as happy being exposed tho. Maybe you could accord them some respect

that's one of the most paranoid posts i've ever read



Sean, I really don't know where you are coming from. Happy about what? I haven't exposed a moderator to the masses as none confide in me. So who am I supposed to accord respect to?


I doubt HAL cares if he is in trouble but you suggest that I am. What sort of trouble am I in? It seems to me you are worn out and you need a rest. I don't mean that patronisingly but simply because I've seen the odd post of yours here and there and you just seem pi**ed off. That's a shame if it's true.

Well try reading between the lines and it wont sound so paranoid.

Huguenot speaks the truth.


Now, Huguenot and his mate ruffers would have us believe that traffic spped reductions to a level slower than a horse and cart laden with coal and ore on a turnpike road during the industrial revolution actually speeds up our journeys - that is after we've waitied five minutes at each of 20 sets of traffic lights. ruffers thinks this is a truism.


On the contrary, I, and most right thinking people, know that that is what they want us to think. Unable to trust their own senses, thinking the car's rolling backwards as you see a granny with a trolley overtaking you, oblivious to the fact that recreational joggers doing a paced 8 miles an hour arrive at your destination half an our before you do, they persist in their quasi-religious belief.


We have to stand up to such nonesense. Why? Because if we don't next we'll have the the likes of Huguenot and ruffers claiming it's their human rights to ride a tandem in the fast lane of the M1 from London to Glasgow and beyond and hey, if it slows you down it actually speeds you up - counter-intuitive like.

    • Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!
    • These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January. 
    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
    • Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
