Got to hand it to you Troll - you're still the best.

Troll kiddies - watch and learn.

Nah. You're unlikely to see anything approaching a world class troll here. The usenets groups were healthy breeding grounds for them at one time though, since usenet had fairly high quality targets for them to go for; professors etc. In fact one or two of them were mentally derranged ex-professors! I refer to none other than those whose ideas and depth of imagination and dedication to these ideas in the face of countrary evidence could scarsely be imagined by the trolls that might grace this board, and alas who may now be a dead or dying breed.

My brother's girlfiend has asked me to ask the panel what she should do, here is her situation:

She is a permie who fancies becoming a contractor, but is worried that she won't be able to get a BTL mortgage if the market for her .net skills drys up, she is also Polish and wants to work via a company in the Isle of Man.

She has offered to post a picture of herself here if it would help..


Hows that?

I think you lot are far too cruel towards Jonny, he seems like a nice sort and I think you should treat him with the respect he deserves. Very few of us have his level of experience in so many aspects of life - we can learn a lot from our Jonny.

If you treat Jonny properly, take care of him, nurture him and be delicate with him - some of his more sensitive thoughts may come out. Treat johnny roughly and his scars may never heal - he'll become hardened and spout rubbish. He is what you make of him - and as I've said before on this forum, we have the power to raise the game.

Jonny has scaled the heights and plumbed the depths of society - he has many footballer friends and friends in high places who treat him properly. You can rely on Jonny to keep his head held high in social situations. He's a man's man, a real pillar of the community.

Eh? Speak up, man!

Yeah right, like that's gonna happen!

[TimberWolf]

Eh? Speak up, man!

I didn't quite catch that last word either - it sounded muffled.

Re the thread title, we could do with someone defending some proposterous position that can be proven false (unlike for example saying you have abs of steel, etc) for years, like on the newsgroups. The Earth is flat, Einstein was wrong, house prices won't go up forever, etc.

[wobbegong]

Can we see her oh dear?

Eh? Speak up, man!
