I wouldn't read anything into that - we just have nothing better to do with our time than sit on here!
P.S. Even sadder, I was being sincere then. :-/

It's not as nice as Italy, but France is a good place.

Just got back from Florence, brilliant place!
Couldn't get over the different prices of coffee if you sit or stand.
Standing 1.5 Euros
Sitting 4.5 Euros!!!
I asked what price they would charge if I hovered or squatted
Barista replied "If you can hover you have free coffee! If you squat, I throw you out!"
(so Italians also have a better sense of humour)

you have to remember that many of the posters are stand-ups themselves and show that nature clearly at times.

Not really an excuse in my books, A lot of stand up are on this site too, (Raises hand) but I don't go around calling people cunts.

Ok thanks for all that - positive and err, negative.
Having researched a bit I now understand the basic story: If I seemed to suggest in previous posts that some established members of this site had a hand in that debacle then I now see how that was not the case. Clearly just one individual but curious why you couldn't all just say so in the first place?
Thanks
Sorry: It's something to do with Stella.

I can't speak for the others, but I'm too polite (no, really) and impeccably English to want to single anyone out. Particularly so in what you'll have no doubt now seen is an intricate, and at times somewhat delicate situation.

Thanks.
Understood except the bit about delicate? Is he something special? Just seems like a twat with a personality disorder to me. Given his apparent IT skills, as another member said, potentially ''dangerous''. ?
Thankfully it seems to have stopped but a bit worried about how he got hold of some of those details in the first place? - and what happens to them now!
Sorry: It's something to do with Stella.

To my knowledge, no details have been used which weren't "given" to the concerned party elsewhere.

Actually, I feel like I recognise the style in some of the posts - even in such short sentences!
Nuff said.

Does this mean that the Twat has been posting on Chortle in our names as he clearly opened accounts for us on hius site or used us to slag off Chortle on his site.
This is potentially very dangerous and I'm sure an offence must have been committed.

I'm already registered on Chortle, so if he has I'm not Leevil How/Jones.
