I can almost hear the conversation now -

admin a "I've banned that MRT cause he's a troublemaker"

admin b " we can't cause it'll confirm what people are saying about us"

admin a "ok then I'll put him back on before anyone notices"

admin b " yeah, then if anyone claims that he's been banned we can ask how he's still posting"

admin a "ha ha thats a goodun, loads of the members will believe us won't they"

admin b " well they will if we keep calling everyone who comments a fool"

That would all be very good if it was true, but either Mr A or Mr B was fast asleep at the time.

But the issue isn't whether someone was banned, because they weren't. I would just love to know what 'truth' he was meant to have been banned for?

I can't see anything Mr T has ever posted amounting to a tin of peas. So please show me this 'truth', or are you saying that it's been deleted? :-k

So who authored the quote that Mr T included in his post - it certainly wasn't him - someone clearly wrote it for him and told him to include it in his post.

It looks like a cack-handed attempt to use Mr T to discredit the site, but nothing new there then :lol:

RAOTFLMFAO.

Is that called "scraping the bottom of the barrel" or what.

No-one needs to discredit the site Dusty, you and Sussex are doing that all on your own.

Not nice is it sunshine.

Well I glad you have caught up with everyone else who is doing exactly that, over the mythical brief, and the report that has been out for many months. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks. :wink:

No, it's what's called the truth.

Mr T certainly didn't write the post, so I wonder who did?

What makes you an expert on the truth? You're the guy who goes on other websites and says your expenses are 17 grand a year. You then come on here and tell us you are only earning 10 grand a year.

Is that a lie? or is that Mr. Nigel Marchant version of the truth?

"Ides of March Matey" if you know what that is?

Ok then Spenna here you are £210 rent over 52 weeks is £10,200 per year. Fuel @ £100+ per week over 52 weeks = £5,000 total £15,200 you need before you make anything for yourself. Now please shut up.

£210 rent for what? You weren't talking about house rent when you posted this sunshine.

The reason it's so high is the insurance companies, they know we need the insurance to work so they rip us off basically. I've been taxi driving 16 years and never had a accident people have run into me but that's different. The public liability bit, you can have £1million, £2million or £3million, I have £3million. All policies have public liability. We are not classed as a higher accident risk it's just the companies ripping us off. 10 years ago I was paying £650 per year fully comp now it's £3,500. For me to earn a decent living I have to clear £17,000 per year before I earn anything for myself, fuel, insurance, running costs etc etc.

What's this 'Spencer' and 'Fountain Street' stuff?

That's what was deleted a few weeks ago because we thougth you were divulging a member's personal details.

But it transpires that the details disclosed have no known relevance to any forum members, so what's it all about? :?

Because at the time we didn't know whether the personal details related to a forum member, so we erred on the side of caution be deleting it.

But now we know that the details were probably just made up by yourself, so there's no problem apart from with your reputation, but that was in tatters months ago anyway.

The Tin Can :lol:
