But you've missed the fascinating latest exploits of Adam's apprentices, John's fantastic bathroom project, how to rejuvenate a vacuum fluorescent display, and an answer to your 2010 question about "we treat you like a swede, not a turnip" (which could have been about Brexit, but wasn't).

Perhaps it's not what it was, but I think it's still worth the money.

I find it helps to ignore a thread once Brexit is mentioned.

But it would improve the neighbourhood if you could eg bring us up to
date on what the money rich/time poor of the Medway towns are keeping
you busy with these days. It's arguably on-topic: your past posts
motivated me to teach my grandnephew how to fix a wireless doorbell. I
feared your patch might stretch to Maidstone and the shame would have

Not that I like them much, but as you have form for posting lots of OT
garbage , trolling and baiting cyclists on the cycling groups purely to be
disruptive then you are hardly blame free in the descent of newsnet from
being useful to people who share interests to the sorry state it is now
ruined by trolls like you who think it is ok to act stupidly for their own
amusement except on the newsgroups that they themselves want to read
untainted.
You are a hypocrite in moaning about this group being wrecked when you have
done the same to others.

They've wrecked this group. From what I can see they're all deadbeats,
sponging off the welfare state so they have all the time in the world to
post and endlessly re-post their worthless blather. No respect for other
users, no respect for democracy.

Indeed, and I can't recall if it was him or someone else of similarly deranged

occupying too much of the road they, the diesel fuelled white van elite had paid
for (or something similar)

If only google news actually worked it would be trivial to bring up that post
and many more like it. The posts could demonstrate clear intent and would
easily change any future manslaughter charge to one of murder.

Either way Google shows he posted to uk.rec.cycling on average ten times a day
for many months on end. It is an absolute taken that 100% of those posts would
have been total and utter hateful ****. If he'd said it to anyones face then he
would have been eating through a straw for the rest of his days.
