    People, people, people. It's sunny. It's about 30 degrees outside pretty much everywhere. Life is good whether you're a bull, bear, a made up user name, a sockpuppet or even ad44downey. Phone a couple of friends, put the internet away and go and have a couple of beers, vinos, a meal or whatever floats your boat in the sunshine with your compadres. Which is exactly what I'm off to do now.

    You gotta give it to the bears. There's no slacking from their end.

    Yes, it's another of your pathetic tantrums to Martin in the hope of getting those who don't agree with you banned. :rolleyes:

    Once again though, it was just another almighty FAIL because everyone is wise to your tantrum tactics now :T .

    Yes, Really2 blew a gasket last night, I just hope the poor chap is feeling a bit better today.

    p.s. hopefully the turnips that are after him can just leave him alone for a while.

    Listen dear, you believe what you want okay? If you think that buying and selling a few PCs is as "complicated" (for the want of a better word) as running a haulage company profitably then you clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about. Try running a haulage company profitably

    I have around 600 litres of white diesel in 25 litre drums which is what was left over after we had our bulk storage tank taken out at our yard and I'm just wondering if I could flog it on feebay as an auction listing?

    Is there anything in the rule book to say I can't?

    Looks like some are jelous of others and ofset there failure on others.

    I thought your haulage company was successful. Sorry I don’t debate with liars.

    If you ar going to blag at least have the decancy to say you failed, I respect people who try and fail not ones that pretend they are still runing a profitable haulage company:)

    Ooohh, I have already done that...had a whole weekend of it this last weekend past!

    Great fun too......and so was being chatted up by a 22 year old!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    :rotfl:

    You really have completely lost it. :rotfl: I don't know anyone that gets so wound up to trawl through 1100+ posts over 18 months to try and find something to trip up your 'target' just to feel good about yourself. :rotfl:

    I wasn't going to bother justifying myself to you as you're not worth it, but I'm feeling in a good mood today so I will :D. The comment about the haulage company was to prove a point to the OP that it's nothing like selling a few PCs. We (it was a family business) did run one for a long time and eventually decided to wrap it up in 2006 due to rising fuel costs, increasing red tape and basically too many cowboys willing to undercut and do jobs for 10p per mile or some other ridiculous figure. And yes, it was profitable, just not enough in the later days to make it worthwhile continuing. Looking back it was the right decision to wrap it up (unlike paying £250k for a new build shack at the top of the market :D ).

    The other 2 posts have absolutely no connection to the first one (note the 2006 date above) and if you'd engaged your brain and read between the lines you would have seen that. Someone I know had 'found' a large quantity of diesel and was looking for ways to dispose it.

    So to reply to your final comments

    1. the only jealousy of others that I can see is people wishing they hadn't bought new build shacks at the top of the market :rotfl: as there's no jealousy or failures happening here. :confused:

    2. the haulage company was successful as detailed above, so :confused:

    3. I haven't failed and nor have I pretended I'm still running a profitable haulage company so once again- :confused:

    Your post brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'clutching at straws' :rotfl::T. Now is there anything else you'd like to try and trip me up over or are you done? :rolleyes:

    Hehe, this may not be the place for it but needless to say, I had a great weekend and felt young and unencumbered for a few days by being mum (eldest was with me though...he said I cramped his style as he could have pulled several times but couldn't because I was there!)

    Carolt announces all bulls, presumably to include the millions that bought a property in the last 5 years,are not degree educated. No Carolt, most of us aren't scared of the world, we live our lives, we pay a bit too much for a home, hey ho.

    How is it up there on piouty hill?

    Er, no..unless all of those who bought a property in the last 5 years are still bullish about property prices, which seems highly unlikely.

    I'm not suggesting that there is never a sensible time to be bullish - being bullish in say, '96, was clearly an excellent decision - but being bullish now appears to be the preserve of the foolish - oh, and ISTL.

    Are you a bull, Conrad?

    I wasn't aware of it.

    BTW - where is 'piouty hill'? :confused:
