With respect, Alf, I could probably have an argument with you about anything and have it last forever just by Googling sources. Since the age of about ten or eleven arguing has been my forte, I can keep one up for hours and when you're sat on FoxesTalk with the whole of the internet at your disposal it's pretty easy to keep one going forever.

I generally don't (anymore!!) because I can't be bothered. The difference between Moose and myself (and most of us) is he can be arsed. Whether he's an absolute sad case with a personality disorder and no real life or whether he's just a normal guy with a slightly weird hobby we should respect regardless I leave entirely up to you.

Defintely this. Once it goes past 2/3 posts each person I cannot be arsed anymore cos I dont I'll get after reply I'll have to respond to and so on zzzzz

Whether he's an absolute sad case with a personality disorder and no real life or whether he's just a normal guy with a slightly weird hobby we should respect regardless I leave entirely up to you.

 

 

I know that you're right to point out that it is easy to use web sites to fabricate any old argument - and Frank To Be may well have done that, given the rather obvious left-wing arguments presented.

 

I'd be surprised if that applied to the MooseBreath economics arguments that I engaged with. Maybe I'm deluding myself, but I reckon I'd be able to tell if someone presented such arguments in detail but didn't really understand or believe what they were writing. Among the few things that I feel that I could confidently say about him is that he was/is to the right in his politics and had probably studied Economics or Business Studies at least to A-level. He also seemed to have particular opinions about the housing sector.

 

So, my final (?) guess as to the identity of the artist known, inter alia, as MooseBreath is that he is an unemployed estate agent with a Business Studies degree. I say "unemployed" based purely on the amount of time he spent on FoxesTalk, but he could just be under-employed - working for a failing estate agents, perhaps? I imagine him living in a flat somewhere like Loughborough, for some reason. When he bothered he expressed himself quite well, so if he is unemployed I'd assume that it is due not to a lack of ability but to a scandal - caught wanking in the ladies toilets at a sales convention in Milton Keynes, something like that..... 

 

But I could be quite wrong about all that - and it's all just the Internet and a load of bollocks, isn't it?  :D

 

I never PM'd him to meet up socially. I did openly encourage him to attend, but never expected him to do so as he clearly cherished his anonymity for whatever reason. If Matt PM'd him, I imagine that would have been out of hope/curiosity, not expectation.

 

As for being bothered to engage in arguments on the forum, I love it most of the time, so long as it doesn't get boring or seriously nasty. A high percentage of my FoxesTalk contributions comprise either ridiculously detailed arguments or silly jokes. How would you categorise your 34,680 posts, then, Finn?  :whistle:

The first thirty odd thousand were probably all lengthy diatribe ranting about something or other. You'd have approved whole-heartedly I think. 

 

I've really run out of steam, though. My post rate now must be about a fifth of what it used to be. 

 

Mobile internet has made a massive difference as well, I suppose. The speed I type on a conventional keyboard, it's pretty easy for me to smash out some lengthy post sat on a laptop or a PC. Given I post about 99% of my posts now from a phone I really can't be bothered getting in to lengthy debates that take me hours to write up. :D

A teenager that only a mother could love lol

Even she had her doubts.

 

 

I can relate to this. My mother spent the first 30 years of my life bitterly telling me: "you're just like your father!" ("Well, you bloody married him, Mum!")

 

I think we both then spent the last 20 years of her life horrified at the dawning reality that I was just like her! 

 

When it became clear, 5 years ago, that I had the same hereditary heart condition as her, I told her that she could no longer deny maternity. She got the joke, I think.

" caught wanking in the ladies toilets at a sales convention in Milton Keynes, something like that..... "

To be fair, Alf, there really isn't much else to do in Milton Keynes..

I was put in mind of Moose by a passage in Bill Bryson's new book, The Road To Little Dribbling: he described someone as looking like 'they had never had sex with anything that couldn't be put back in a cupboard afterwards..'.

Car Insurance.

My wife doesn't really drive much or like driving, she has a little fiat Panda and always used Sheila Wheels. I told her that was sexist while she was making my dinner, ironing my shirts and cleaning my pants and switched it to Tesco to get her some extra Tesco points.

The first renewal was £35 more and now the second has just come through for £65 more. I've tried calling but always in a queue.

I don't want to do the internet thing as once they have my email and phone I know I'll get another set of spam and cold calls.

Are there any reliable little brokers in Leicestershire that want my money ?

Don't be put off by the comparison sites. You'll not beat them for car insurance.

 

So what if you get a few emails now and again, just unsubscribe and they leave you alone.

Do what my brother did. He said to  his  car insurance co. over the phone, 'your latest quote is too much, I have written a figure down, go away  and discuss it with your boss but if when you return your revised quote does not match or better  what I have written down I shall put the phone down and go elsewhere.'

When  they came back the quote was a lot lower than before so he accepted it.

Hey everyone,
I'd have a little favour to ask. I am currently working on my dissertation titled "Influence of Commercialisation on Fan Loyalty in Barclays Premier League". I would very much appreciate it if you could help me by taking part in a short and anonymous online survey.

Link: http://goo.gl/forms/Vz31oo18hG

The results will benefit the club in better understanding its fans and their needs, so ultimately you guys.
Thank you very much for help!

Is it healthy to eat pretty much the same thing every day? I've been eating a banana for lunch and then chicken/tuna, sweet potato and brocolli every day for the past 2 weeks.

 

As long as you're getting a good variety of macro/micro nutrients from your diet it's fine. You're not getting much fat from yours but that's not the end of the world. Not sure about vitamins and such, try inputting it into myfitnesspal or something along those lines, it'll show you what you're missing out on.

I read somewhere that the fewest foods required for a healthy diet, is three: a combination of eggs, wholegrain bread, and orange juice (apparently) gives you everything you need.
