    Derision in any form does not equate to humour.

    Derision? Your leg has been pulled very slightly more than gently.

    I think your reaction is hilarious.

    Who was it that had an avatar of a number that changed of the anniversary of when they bought despite being on here predicting crash after crash.

    Was it Crashy?

    There was Geneer who kept it secret he'd bought a few years previous. He used to post about 20 times in his lunchbreak.

    Crashy and Geneer have/ had very similar posting styles but I think they're different people unless it's Geneer playing another long-game.

    Good times.

    Geneer was a true believer. He decorated his bedsit walls with pictures of Merryn Somerset Webb and Jonathan Davis.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    That's right, Geneer.
    If he posted 20 times in his lunch-break, he must have spent his working hours generating his silly comic sketches

    Exactly this ^^^^^

    Continual snide digs are not humour.
    It is certainly not leg-pulling either.
    As for tightly sprung folk waiting to be offended well calling them in effect a liar would certainly do it.

    I wonder, will I be targetted too now?

    I'll target you ;)

    My wife has a fascination with all things Pict.
    Aren't we all (British) descendants of the Picts or is it that all Scots are descendants of the Picts

    *blushes*

    Nah it's just some Scots who are descended from Picts.
    Mostly from north & east Scotland, which maybe gives you a clue where I'm from.

    In truth it looks like nothing really is certain though.
    There's not much agreed about with regards to Picts.

    I've never hidden the fact I am from Aberdeen.
    My previous post history will support that

    I'm not as far north.
    But I'm not saying any more.
    I have seen posters picked-on too often in these forums as a result of information posted, sadly.
