Who is Andy W?

[OwlHoot]

Someone who entered the CUK zeitgeist, and was taken on board as a mascot for juvenile postings.

However, times move on, and the only people who still insist on commerating his memory are somewhat akin to"Adults who like to get down with the funky kids and use words like "Pants", and "Wicked" "

It's not funny anymore. Seriously.

It's a tired joke that has gone stale. 3 years ago.

Have you tried putting up a poll with no AndyW option? You never hear the end of it!

Sometimes it's easier to go with the flow.

I always assumed that it referred to Andy White, the guy who set up the PCG - Professional Contractors Group, with the aim of taking legal action against the government to outlaw IR35 10 years ago or so.
Didn't know that there was a poster on this site with the name.

Perhaps it is the same guy?

If so he would have only been 7 when he set up the PCG.

The last post and the response thereto were amusing

I remember that one and it was a classic response.

To be honest I must have been too busy with other stuff as I don't recall getting wound up by him (selective memory?).

Possible responses:
a) well said BGG
b) Burn him!
c) Andy........ Nah! I think I am an "a"

I should like to point out that at no time did AndyW enter me in any fashion.

Honest.

I'm not that sort of lizard.

made me chuckle, thx !

For the benefit of us noobies, can someone enlighten us as to who Andy W is/was?

He's the last option on every poll.

HTH

Andyw was an annoying irritant that plagued the forum round about the time that I joined.

If you look at his posting history you will see he managed over thirty posts of gibberish on the morning that he was banned.

I think we set a dangerous precedent if we consider banning on the grounds of posting gibberish. CUK would be a ghost town!!!!!!
