I have made no secret of it that I find NLUK's posts incredibly tiresome, not only because he stifles the new comers (if everyone just read the search and didnt post this would be one dull forum), but because he feels he has to reply to a thread he knows nothing about, and has to be the first to reply, and often having misread the question anyway.

    My solution to this has been to put him on ignore and with the recent extra code to add into Adblock this means I dont even see him being on ignore, which is really sad in a way. As Im sure he thinks on some level he is helping and making a positive contribution to the forum.
    The only thing I have against NLUK is his latest Profile, which has "northernladuk is a 6675636b696e672067656e697573". That text runs into the message bodies of his postings, so you can't read them properly.

    Now the only reason I come on here is to watch his "Personality of the Year" in action - but half the pleasure is lost when you can't actually read his rantings.

    So, NLUK: FIX YOUR DAMN PROFILE!!!! (If you are stuck about how to do this, please Use Search or ask a Newbie. )

      You do know what that is don't you?

                A complement from NLUK to NWP2C?! What next?

                  An invitation for tea & gin at The Ritz, a ticket for the the Last night of the Proms and a sound gentlemans massage with lavender and tea tree oil soap at the Moroccan baths in Whitechapel?

                    As long as it's not NLUK carrying it out then I am all for it.

                      MF has pulled

                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
