    He really is a very nasty piece of work with a lot of anger within. If you want to view more of Hamish's nasty ramblings check out this little innocent Times article, in particular the comments at the bottom. However, he clearly should have chosen a different forum than a Times article to taunt those who don't own property...... clueless. Not sure why but he does seem rather edgy at the moment, maybe he has had a vision of the coming winter and post election period.

    Oh and Hamish..... love the way you spell champagne, maybe in future you should use lambrini, probably more appropriate.

    :rotfl:

    Oh dear god that is priceless..... Much as I would love to take credit for that, it's actually not my work.

    Some admirer has cut and pasted some of my arguments from HPC and here and inserted them into the comments section.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I admit they are (mostly) my sentiments, but it wasn't me that posted them in the times.

    Perhaps soon there will be an army of McTavishes (or should it be McTavii?) running around posting positive news everywhere to counter the hpc clones....

    It is very funny though, and quite clever.

    They've taken enough direct quotes to make it seem credible, but are also using terms I never would.

    Can't decide whether it's a bored HPC-er taking the mick, or a genuine (but slightly disturbed) follower of the cult of Hamish. biggrin.gif

    Entertainment at its finest either way though.

    I should start charging a licensing fee......

    Or some sort of clever psych-ops double bluff by you to discredit the bears.

    Personally I don't think you're nasty at heart, just deluded. :p

    Now that would be funny. But it seems like too much work.

    Besides, the hpc bears are discredited enough by having to come over here trolling in the first place. If they were winning the argument, they wouldn't feel so insecure.;)

    Having a Hamish disciple out there just means less typing for me. I should have started a cult ages ago.:D

    PS....

    Whichever one of you it is, could you at least try to use spellcheck next time?

    Oh, and perhaps be a little more outrageous, for maximum effect? I'd hate to be perceived as moderate or anything....:beer:

    I think you are quite safe on that point Hamish

    Does the real daddybear know you've pinched his ID to come over here trolling?

    Poor form, old boy.;)
