    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:)
    What's this? Is it a "Spot the Ten Spelling Mistakes" competition?

    Can anyone enter? And what's the prize for the winner?

    Google Chrome has a built in spell checker (if anyone didn't know).

    Actually you would have to do a mac address check as your IP address can be different every time you restart your router.

    The irony.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    But not by much. Website moderators should have the basic technical ability to be able to see when IP addresses are from the same ISP and when they are from different ISPs.

    Where they are from different ISPs it is still quite easy to check if they are commercial IP addresses, residential ones or anonymiser services.

    And it's also easy to check if, say Hamish's IP address(es) are consistent with someone in Aberdeen and if mine are consistent with someone in the South East. Makes it tricky for us to be one and the same. A few seconds looking at our posts would tell you we are different posters.

    And anyway, ID duplication on pretty much any site is reason for expulsion, not being labelled a troll and having posts moderated.

    That, like the whole sorry HPC affair, makes little sense.

    Indeed, that place got a bit 1984 for my liking, but over here it's a brave new world.....;)
    I haven't actually read 1984 but always thought that the people in charge there were rational.

    Have you ever read Kafka's "The Trial"? If you haven't you don't need to now. HPC managed to precis the premise very well.

    It is abundantly clear that the HPC mods are scared the crash is ending. No coincidence at all that we all get muzzled at the same time prices are rising..... And then they admit it's because they want to prove to newbies that our arguments "have no veracity".;)

    Shame for them a BOE MPC member (Miles) comes out and says the same thing we've been saying since March just a few days later.:rotfl:

    The crash is ending, it's not quite over yet, there will be some small falls over winter, but the worst of it is far behind us.

    And thats now the mainstream opinion, not just the bulls opinion.:T

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
