I grew up with Andy Capp, and that was in Australia. He must have come over here a lot on one of his 'multiple holidays overseas'

No, we shouldn’t. You are quite right.

I know, sorry about that. Next time (I have no doubt there will be a next time, clearly the guy has no life) we'll try and leave him even longer for you all to play with.

Thanks Christmas. It will surely skulk around until it comes up with its next 'believable' persona. Was a good chuckle though!

Well quite. Setting up fake emails and re-registering on a forum numerous times just to try and wind people up is a whole other level of pathetic loser though, even by BE standards.

As long as that’s not the chair that’s still warm, because the cat sat on it.

That's true. Sometimes I feel sorry for people who feel the need to do it, it's like they're unable to interact with people in a normal way so they have to resort to making up new personalities. I also suspect that they're the sort of person who doesn't get much attention paid to them in real life. It's quite sad really
That won't stop me taking the wee wee though It might help them to overcome their problems.

I don't mind a warm chair from a cat, I'm not so keen on warm from someone else's bum. I hope I can say 'bum' in the Trailer Park.

The troll has left the building (yet again) folks.
I wasn't missing him from the first time around

Was he also Mr. Shouty from TIO (Elgin) or was that someone else?

Thanks for showing him the door, but not before we had a bit of fun with him. I did consider calling “TROLL” but decided Andy Capp was a better use of my post.

There was a comedy skit, may have been Monty Python, may have been something else.
Dad calls in son to give him the sex ed lecture.
Dad chickens out - he tells him a woman gets pregnant by sitting down in a chair that’s still warm from her husband sitting on it.
Son is v. concerned - says he just sat down in a chair still warm from the cat ....
