-
no i wasn't i was just hallucinating ;)
-
Good get out line there ;)
-
Busy Daffodil? :D
Any reason? Or just a suitably girlie Welsh sounding name?
Where in S.Wales then?
Probably the only member in Wales so far who's not in Chepstow. :o
Rog.
-
Busydaffodil......came about...........
My name is Elizabeth, which meant I got called "busy lizzie" in my youth.
I'm also Welsh and daffodils are, of course, the welsh flower. So an ex neighbour/friend, called me busydaffodil some years ago. Simple really!
No, not Chepstow. I'm not rich enough to live there!!!
I live just outside Newport area, further up the valley.
for the record, I did not kill the "Ex neighbour". I moved!
-
oh, and why have you got my hubbies picture under your name? Your name Victor too?? lol
;)
-
No, not Chepstow. I'm not rich enough to live there!!!
Rich? I wish! :-\
Still, I guess we can probably charge a little more for our services than in the Rogerstone/Risca/Sirhowy area I guess you're in...
Not enough rich people in that area I'd guess, but plenty of businesses. :)
Roger.

Richard
I'm not so sure about the Mysteron part...
I nearly imploded too!
Stay cool, you've got my vote.
Let's face it, some pass the bullets, some fire them...some just look on.
You've been passed a good few bullets since I've been here.
And a fair few have silently looked on enjoying it, ready to hide when teacher comes.
Oh well, time to straighten up. Look forward to intelligent postings, sometimes provocative, nothing wrong with that in my opinion, as long as it's within the socially accepted forum guidelines.
Seeee, I can do it!

nobody made fun of you because you are gay .
people made fun because you go off the rails now and again,
the fun was in a jovial way and you give a lot of stick so people assume you can take it in return. ;D
create an high profile and people will have a go.
now pull yourself together man ,thats the best sympathy you will get off me ,i am not an american, i dont do hugs and things. :-*
remember, Tosh is a volunteer on here ,and he gives you too much leeway .
you are making his job very difficult ,what are you tring to prove ,find peace within yourself and chill.
Look after yourself and iff you need to talk

Hi Richard
For pity's sake, you all slagged me off for being gay
I think you may be over reacting in the use of the term 'you all'. Do you mean every single person on this forum 'slagged you off'? Just and only for being gay? I didn't know you were untill you posted it and anyway, members on CIU have 'slagged' me off ffrom time to time and sometimes fairly and sometimes unfairly.
What does 'slag you off' actually mean? And why is it so important to know you are gay anyway?
Chill out and r-e-l-a-x.
Some support from a few of you wouldn't go amiss.
Support for what? I am confused and to be honest, I don't really have much idea of what you are going on about.
I think you mean about the threads being locked, I think. If so, it was probably because they were not w/c related. I pride myself on getting topics locked (from time to time) and from sometimes winding up Mr Moderator and then knowing when to step back a step or two and then .... get a thread locked..... and so it goes on.
Just enjoy the forum ;D
Cheers
Ross
-
Is Richard, Graham Gould?
I'm confused. I'm a Geordie.
Tosh.
-
My name is Ken (not Kenneth) Richard Simpkin.
But everyone including my Missis calls me 'Tosh'. It's a nickname given to me (by an extremely hard and violent Corporal) when I was seventeen, and has stuck since.
Only my Mother, brother and school friends call me Ken. Originally on this site, this being the first ever forum I joined, I called myself 'Windows-Chepstow' because I thought it might be good to let other Chepstow members know that I was a local window cleaner.
-
Is it Ken? Is it Tosh? Is it Tosh Richard? Is it Richard Tosh? Is it it?
Is it Graham Gould (dead) ir it Richard Rampton? Is it Richard Gere?
I dunno, I'm Geo-Corsican-indo-China-Peurto-Rico tea Bag.
Richard Misteron.

That saves me asking Tosh, I did wonder how that came about...
Graham/Richard etc.. What's with all the mystery lately?
You're not going to morph into a tomato again are you?
It takes us a while to realise it's you half the time. :D
-
"Sigh of relief", thanks Richard.
Welcome to the forum.
-
And it's no more rubbish from him ;)
-
Wouldn't "pin" your hopes on it yet ;D
-
don;t
Graham
That strange way of writing 'don;t' gives you away.......... You remebered to write the first 'don't' correctly but not the second.
Check out previous postings of Grahams.
That and other use of words and terms.
Hi Graham ..... hugs baby .....

Hi Everyone,
Well today I am fuming, well actually I have been since Saturday!!!!
Well we ordered a new car for my wife, must be over a month ago now and I went to collect it last Saturday, this was the date agreed when we ordered it (Oh Renault Gran Scenic). cleaned the wife’s old car up and took it down to the garage, only to be told I had my dates wrong and it was this Saturday (the just gone) that the car was ordered for. So I bit the bullet, didn’t bother arguing and left it at that.
Well after Fridays meeting and everything else, I couldn’t clean the wife’s car out until Saturday morning (it cannot be that dirty I here you say - you don’t know our kids, crisp, sweets, etc). Anyway, up and out in the cold at 8am, waking the neighbors with the vacuum :-), washed it all ready by nine, sat down had my coffee, then the wife suggested to phone the garage first, so I did.
'Oh sorry, your car only arrived yesterday and we have not checked it over, etc, etc, etc'. So now it is actually ready tomorrow 9 am and off we go. But what really annoys me, why didn’t they phone Wednesday/ Thursday or Friday to explain, the car had not arrived and they need a few days to check it when it does.
Sorry about that, but I had to get it off my chest.
Hope you all had a good day

Give him a break - it's not so hard to work out who is who. Just look at profile and then previous posts.

Tosh - Obergruppenfuhrer codebreaker here - just checked Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons post history - it is our one and only Salisbury Sam aka Graham Gould - The troll with the Pole! ;D ;D ;D
-
My heart bleeds 24-7. How do you put up with the stress? I understand though,..
I had a similar prob saturday. We wanted to go for a bike ride. My back tyre was a bit flat, couldn't find the pump, so we went for a walk instead. And to top it all it rained!
It's tough at the top man! ;)

Hi 24-7 S C Services
I know that type of story so well.
I havn't had the same with buying a car but I had similar with a cooker. In the end I went into their showroom (full of people) and got a chair and stood up on it and asked for everyone's attention and told my tale. The manager got irate and threatened to call the police but backed down when I threatened to phone the local paper.
The cooker arrived next day.
Like you, one phone call would have made all the difference.

Grahams ok.
He knows we know.
He has contributed some really good things to this forum.

Well just like yer garden fence posts: D'y'see, they can go rotten at the base. The changin' seasons, exposure to the elements, poor maintenance, wind damage. etc.
The list goes on and on.
Some are just plain fortunate. There's no other way of puttin' it!
But some just 'ave to be dug up and replaced. It's the only way.
Bingo! New fence! New boundary! No more neighbours from ....you know where

You did. Remember that photo of the rather large lady not wearing much clothing you posted?
I asked you to delete that and you kindly agreed.
I'm not skiving on here, mind at 9.20 am. I'm waiting for a phonecall with regards to my WFP.
Honest!

Maybe that's who Graham/Richard really is....

Roger,
I've been asking round other window cleaners if they want to attend a South East Wales - Window Cleaners - Christmas dinner.
Probably on a Thursday or Friday afternoon; closer to Christmas.
I've just started asking today and have had two 'yesses'. One from a guy called Terry from Cinderford whose only been cleaning windows for 8 months. Wor Lass said she'd go to, since she's a shiner.
John Hughes will go; he did this last year. So in all that four of us at the minute.
Sad isn't it!
-
Tosh or Ian
Just a thought..As a moderator do you have the power to unlock someone else's thread if they have decided to lock it?
PJ
-
Yes we can (I think). But I wouldn't call it a 'power', more of a capability.
I'm not sure I would though.
Why?
-

I'm not sure I would though.
Why?
No big deal, really. It's just that David@StIvel has the capability of locking our little chat corner, should he so desire. Not that he would desire power.
I was just curious, that's all.
Pea Jay

this is the voice of the misterons ;D
Ive got the power 8)
-
do ya know what to do with it
-
Thank you for demonstrating your capability Moderators.
I was just curious.
Homer
-
What's a 'capability moderator'?
;D
-
Hi Ross,
Obviously someone of only moderate capability. ;D
-
Hi Squeaky Clean
Obviously someone of only moderate capability.
Not when it come to those things that Geordies do best ........ ;D
Now if he was from North of the border, and the fact that I am does not make me biased, then I would disagree with you.
I wonder if Wor Lass thinks he is moderately capable? ::)
-
If I could lock this thread, well I'd jolly well unlock it!
But as I can do neither I will remain moderate.
That's a warning this time of my capability
Let theat be a lesson to all of you

He isn't Andy. I know him. He lives close to Ian_Giles and myself. He's extracting the yellow stuff out of us.
Unfortunately for Roger (Squeaky), I know a few shops he does. It would be really bad if a couple of them were splattered with eggs! ;)
Especially the one with Georgian(ish) windows.
-
i was asking if poleman was called andy ???
-
Only Yoking Tosh.
Oh, and the one with the georgian(ish) windows, no problem.
Means I can spend longer ogling the lovely girls inside. ;)
-
i was asking if poleman was called andy ???
Yes, it's Andy but he's not Polish. His surname is Cheney, which doesn't sound Polish to me.
German maybe?
-
Only Yoking Tosh.
Roger, that's a really old yoke. So is your name down for the SE Wales Christmas function or not?
-
Hello Andy Cheney nice to meet you again ;D
Dave
-
Roger, that's a really old yoke. So is your name down for the SE Wales Christmas function or not?
A bit early to tell.
Better book a full 4-person table just in case. ;D
-
Hey David , i got some good and bad news , the good is that i found the oil leak , the bad is that its a bloody great big crack in the head !
I cant sell it to you like that , and i doubt very much that youd want to buy it like that , it still runs ok but it obviously cant be trusted for long , im gonna keep hold of it for now and see if a good head comes up , if it does ill sort it out , as you can understand the VW arrives t,moro and that needs to be kitted out before anything else , if i sort the astra out you still have first dibs on it , the same money is cool .
I have never knocked out a dodgey motor and i dont want to start now , i dont think thats fair .
Will let you know when i do . sorry for the let down Dave .

Roger,
You may as well say 'yes' now, because I just know you'll make some excuse and say you're busy; then after; I'll log on and find that you've been making posts here all afternoon.
You've got to interact with 'real people' sometimes, mate!

doesnt the dye feel strange as it goes in :o
-
The only dye I've experienced in a hospital was when, while driving trains, I got brake dust in my eyes.
They put this stuff in my eyes to high light the whatever so as it could be all be removed and afterwards I kept blowing my nose. My erm... er... 'snot'.... was bright orange for a while.
Stuff what The Cleaner Service wrote. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.
Mate - you are a damm sight braver than me.
Cheers
PS You have a real talent for writing.

its not nice I had an angiogram about 2 years ago doesnt hurt to bad but it isnt nice

ts not nice I had an angiogram about 2 years ago doesnt hurt to bad but it isnt nice
It's the 'doesn't hurt to bad' bit. That gets me. It's like having your teeth drilled out by the dentist when he says that 'this won't hurt'. It always does in some way.
It's good night from me and it's good night from him.
What a great comedian.

Wor Lass says that I am not fulfilling my 'marital duties' (even though we're not married (but we're as good as - if not more so since we work together)), and she's complaining I spend too much time on this forum.
I've also got to cook dinner!
Does anyone else have this problem?
G'night all!

Sounds like a 2cv and the credit card is to buy new parts for when the old ones fall off as you drive down the road. ;D
