As with all phases, I'm sure that this too will pass (quite spectacularly in some areas I suspect... )

I think that CUK will become quite entertaining over the next week or so...

Are you saying it is not entertaing now?

I'm a member but I haven't been into the forums regularly for oh, about a year...

You aren't missing much! Though I like the Chairman's blog : thoroughly entertaining and informative.

It came about as the Chairman post a few posts on forum and kept getting interrupted by stupid comments! Some bright spark suggested a blog where he can get his say!

Though the forum is still alot better than the real lounge........

I am not sure that I have felt totally comfortable in the "lets be nice to everyone, lets hold hands, noone can fail, GCSE educated" world that this forum seems to have become (along with the rest of the country), and I for one would be quite happy to see a few people getting some kicks up the backside to prompt them to get their act together.

Then again, I am in that transition period between "young turk" and "grumpy old git" so I realise that my views are rapidly becoming irrelevant to the wider world.

POB!! How dare you, sir? I demand a retraction.

You guys had better shape up, I may soon return to haunt you...

I retract. I'm sorry I said you have the brains, charisma and charm of pob. I take it back. You haven't.

I think I can safely say that most of us here have a memory like a sieve when it comes to remembering out who said what.

If someone admitted being a cannibal with a particular taste for tender young roasted kids, and had scoffed dozens, I wouldn't recall who it was two days later.

So please, if some weirdo with a photographic memory happens to recollect anything this guy Malvolio has said in the past, and why he might feel the need to bow out with such a fanfare, do enlighten us.

I have found the opposite - the ability of some on here to retain the smallest details points to asperger's syndrome being more common than generally realised.

Malvolio, or rather the person behind him, or rather the person behind the character on this forum - not William Shakespeare obviously, took a position in a particular contractor organisation which was not really compatible with appearing on here "in character".

They are no longer in that position with the other organisation so there is no reason for them not to resume the Malvolio persona here.

I believe he has upset the BN66 affected people, but as far as I can see that has been by asking them if they have thought through what will happen if they don't win, the very idea of which has put some people's backs up.

Yes. Not suprising consiering how annoying he is on the forum over there. Worse than here if that is possible.

Why - have they kicked you out?

I'd get a substitute in to do the hauting, perhaps Banquo ?

aha! his real name is PoB. Of course, the people there still think the plural of forum is "fora".

As the last post was two years ago, how can you tell what they think now?

He certainly used to push the PCG agenda.

There is a list of directors, management team and consultative councel on the website so maybe he is now on one of those? But none of them are called Malvolio.....

He's been on the CC for a while...
