...However those of us who have met know that each of us is actually ok, not a bully or a geek or an eyeliner wearing wierdo or a posh shipping forecaster or a hairy trucker among us...
Not so sure about that. Last time we met there were quite a few of those among us.
That confused me too - I'm pretty sure I count as a geek, and I can do the Shipping Forecast damn well if I have to
BP Posted : I really really hope so. I would be delighted for atw to prove me wrong.
Actually, I do to and have said as much before.
It'd be priceless if he attended one of the legendary CUK Xmas Meets, and as we all stood there, noticed a chauffeur driven Bugatti Veyron pull up, Alex steps out, and a few members who've always put him down have to go over and apologise.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I have the opposite problem. People get upset when I am too friendly towards them.
But it always makes me laugh!

CM - Is this a reference to Xeno?
If so, is that why he no longer posts on here? What gives?
No - he was a confident man-liner wearer - I believe he has a real life now...

I do hope Xen didnt leave because of the piss taking. In his case it was fairly gentle.
I like Xen. I hold him in high regard.
He cant expect people not to react to someone saying they wear eyeliner, womens clothes (occasionaly) and shave their balls when they go on a date.
That post with Xeno was hilarious. Considering he posted for quite a while after that and we met at two Contractor do's subsequent to the piss-take I don't think it wound him up.
