Chancer Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I know it is a bit like missing a headache or a boil on the bum (perhaps I have the Stockholm syndrome) but the forum is not the same without my tormentor and cyber-stalker, it has been two months now since I last was on the receiving end of his particular style of posting.What has become of him? Did the moderators ask him to "dah-do one R*n R*n" whilst I was absent or has he found more rewarding victims elsewhere?I always thought that he must have been someones brother in law or lovechild (like Gunner Graham in Dad's Army) to have got away with some of his postings.

bubbles Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Reminds me of a motoring incident recently involving my brother.When attempting to leave a supermarket carpark, he accidently nudged his vehicle into the one behind.Unfortunately the driver was present and emerged from his car; a very very short man he was and so angry that he was turning a peculiar shade of puce."I'm not happy. I'm really not happy" he shouted."Ah, which dwarf are you then?" replied my brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 JR - I've no idea who you're talking about. I've got a good memory, and have done a search, but come up with nothing.Except there might be a simian connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Grumpy has to hang upside down in a dark cellar during the summer, fasting. However, as the days shorten, he unfurls his wings and begins to hunt again, seeking the blood of virgins, which is a challenge these days. So, hungry all summer and having to accept used goods explains why he is so bloody grumpy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Trunk Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 In the 1980s I spent two weeks in a small town in the middle of Sweden in the middle of winter. The sun rose at 10am and set by 2pm; alcohol was available only from the official liquor shop and was prohibitively expensive; there were 2 cafes in the town; one was owned by the Lutheran church and the other was known as "the sinful cafe" because it had a fruit machine. At the end of my time there I had lost the will to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Just to say that the person you are all taking about has left the forum (of his own free will) and will not be returning. I believe he is active on another forum (I don't know which one, he never said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Which is a pity really as he did have good knowledge of the tax system and was always pretty straight and honest. His loss leads towards even more blandness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thank you Quillan, I wont be celebrating though [:(], I never took his jibes/attacks/call them what you wish to heart and I tried to give back as good as I got whilst trying at all times to remaining polite which was at times quite a challenge.Now I can finally get rid of that annoying apostrophe in my user name, the only reason that I stubbornly held onto it was the knowledge that it wound him up and his inability to ask me to remove it in a civil way [6].So in memory of the dear departed member who has left this forum a blander place I have decided to choose my new username in his memory and have selected one of the milder names that he liked to call me which if only he had known I took as a compliment [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
