    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........

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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...
