[quote user="Alan Zoff"]I'm beginning to wonder if ALBF is my former neighbour from Shropshire with whom I lost contact many years ago. A good drinking pal but, as a journalist, he couldn't resist playing a mischievous devil's advocate at every opportunity, just to get an argumentative debate started. Depending on the way the conversation in the pub was was going, he would always put the opposite view, deliberately causing great irritation. It was a case of lighting the touch paper and waiting for the reaction. He moved on to a Liverpool daily, using similar tactics with his editorials. Must be retired now - perhaps somewhere in France....[/quote] Many years ago, whilst on a 3 day test to check suitability for an RAF Commission I was in a 'syndicate' that were required to discuss a certain topic, possibly fox hunting or some such like , I can't remember. Anyway, the whole syndicate were of the same mind, there was nothing to discuss / disagree about. I could see that this was not going to go down well with the Directing Staff so I vehemently disagreed with the rest of the group, A vigour debate ensued. It would seem to a type of ALBF action.
