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.

    • Hubby had to retire from work due to serious ill health which had meant he was off work for several months at a time. His hospital consultant advised part time employment only, Signed on at Job Centre and asked them to send him on courses, especially IT has not computer literate or had a computer. Job Centre refused and insisted he applied for full time work even though he produced medical evidence from hospital and letter from previous employment detailing the reason why had medically retired him. He applied for the (then) disability allowance but was refused as not disabled enough and the fact he could work part time. Applied f or several part time jobs but when they knew of his medical history turned him down. That was 18 years ago. Disabled people who want  to work find it hard to find employment. I studied Disability and Employment in Holland as part of my degree and found at that time, the Dutch system more flexible. If a disabled person found a job part time, they still received a portion of their benefit as well as wages. If found a full time position, benefit suspended and were subject to regular reviews as to how they performed in  the job. If there were no problems, benefit was withdrawn, however if they found the work was not suited to their disability - they gave up work and went straight back to receiving their full benefit. If a disabled person finds employment, their benefits stop immediately. If they cannot maintain the work and are sacked, getting back onto benefits is very difficult, Give those who are able to work at least part time, the opportunity to have reduced benefits to top up wages.
