He's still posting but as a guest (Oakley Windows).

Hope he doesn't disappear because as you say he was (is) one of the more entertaining members. Seems a nice guy as well.

Just had a mail from Matt, that he asked me to post, maybe I will get the rocket for it, but oh well…

Had to edit abit :-X


I had it with a lot of those (EDIT) on there mate.
 
When I first started going on there it was a great forum, lots of info, interesting threads (people posting pics of what they'd done, jobs etc, pricing, stuff directly related to the job).
 
Its like a night down the local cattle-market now, see who's got the biggest gob, opinion, ego or attitude.
 
The threads used to be light-hearted and generally fun, banter about work and light-hearted relief. Now its more like walking into the bronx and someone wanting to start a fight with you.
 
Ewan was a (EDIT), we all know that, but theres some real idiots in addition to him who havent got 2 brain cells to rub together but think that being smart mouthed (EDIT) is clever.
 
I just wanted some general light relief going on there in a work related environment among like minded guys, that seems long gone.
 
Can you say hi to FTP, L.J. Thorpe, yourself, Elite Mike, Simon Knight, Trippy, Matt, MacMac, Tosh, Stan for us mate 
 
I might be back but when theres some better enforced rules. Something needs to change.
 
Cheers mate. Keep in contact.
 
Matt

Excuse me, are you the Ewan that was mentioned earlier in the post?
Title: Re: whats happened to matt oakley
Post by: mark dew on July 09, 2009, 08:40:01 pm
Over the years loads have 'quit' the forum only to get withdrawals and return.
So i reckon he'll be back.
I doubt if the forum will change.
But a few more moderators could only be a good thing. Sure it isn't a paid job though?  There was talk of getting a new mod last year but nothing came of it. I can't understand the reluctance to have several more on this side.
Dave and ian do a good job, but there are too many posts for them to do too much other than react.

I also hope he does 'cos he's got a good sense of humour.
Has the pidgeon account been deleted as well?  ;D

Your question is pointless, think of another   ;)

And I put it to you young man that you are a rude, arrogant and ignorant individual. I suggest you are no more a man than my little pinky finger. You appear rude and cock-sure of yourself, which is a certain sign of anxiety and insecurity, you no doubt are a mere fledgling anxious to make an impression and to try to prove yourself to those you hold in high regard.

My suggestion to you you flippant little turd is to shove your opinion up your jacksy and swivel away merely until you cease to exist.

Post by: cozy on July 09, 2009, 09:00:25 pm
Mark, people don't gang up, it may look like they all sit online waiting to have a punch at a certain person, but that person just gets so many guys wound up. Would you rather have that person keep winding guys up or a helpfull member that is witty and constructive? That's what I meant

Not me, by the way.

Okay, heres a couple of questions for you, if thats what you want.

Who on this forum do you hold in high regard in a window cleaning sense? Or to put it another way, who is unfortunate enough to have you trudging around behind them in their shadow, farting to amuse yourself, like a lost boy?


Ive had a little lookie through your ramblings and found this from a few days ago, what is your response to this?

http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=77392.msg679586#msg679586

Youve had long enough to think, most would have been able to respond without thinking, why youve needed so long only leaves me with one conclusion to be drawn (would you like me to use crayons or spell it out letter by letter?)

Run out of questions already!

The only thing about your post that’s correct is do hold certain members is CIU in high regard, within a window cleaning capacity.

The other that I am certain about is your not one of them.   ;D

PS, quite an impressive post with regards to the amount of insults and such a short paragraph, although you did repeat yourself (get yourself a dictionary or possibly a thesaurus) what’s less impressive is the smallest remark and its sets of this tirade of abuse, says a lot about you, you know!

Am I looking for a way of getting out of answering you?

No  ???  ???  ??? Shall I tell you why Im not, because you havent asked me anything.



Its also pointless to write things down on a piece of paper and leave it with your homework, as we cant actually see that. Didn't Mommy tell you this?

What you have to do is type it out, like yesterday, and post it on here for us to be able to fathom what your answer is to the post ....oh never mind.


Your Daddy didn't put the ugly swing to close too the wall did he now? He did didn't he!

Not me, by the way.

Oh i see.
I was referring to 'Glass cleaner' with 6 posts having a pop.

As for ewan, he's cryptic, defensive and whatever knowledge he has acquired is still new enough for him to sound like an ex smoker at times. Sometimes he reminds me of the gobby fat kid at school. Always good for a slap, for what he is about to say next.
But people do jump in on him. He's pretty much always outnumbered once some off topic spat goes on.
I think it is unfair because of the sneak posts like glass cleaners. That's what i don't like. No chance of a reply cos who knows where that came from.
There are only so many who bite anyway. Most don't bother. A better way than inventing a posse is to complain to the mods.

As i said earlier, i hope matt does come back. He is certainly witty and constructive. It's just silly to leave if it's mainly because of ewan.

Mark, I don't think Ewan plays a big enough role in anyones life or opinions, to make them leave this forum mate. The fact that a member only has 6 posts, doesn't mean the person only has little idea, it means he is new to this forum. Don't want to teach a granny to suck eggs :). At the moment, it would seem Ewan has wound another member up. I am staying out of it. Do you see what I mean?

I may have just a handful of posts, however I have been a member since February, I have frequented this forum regularly since that time; because I havent posted in all respects mate means nothing, Ive had my time on here to read and observe.

Beware of people pretending to be professional window cleaners and quoting little, know authors on CIU

 ;D

That's what I mean. I've got no part in your argument Ewan, but you want people to think you are being ganged up on,so you can go bleating to Dave and Ian. Leave me out of it.

Title: Re: whats happened to matt oakley
Post by: mark dew on July 09, 2009, 10:31:44 pm
Cozy, ewan got a mention by name in your post earlier from matt. That's what made me think he was part of the reason for matt leaving.

Glass cleaner, i called it a sneak post because although you have read and been here since february, none of your posts included a row with ewan. So it looked to me like a gang up on ewan post.
Title: Re: whats happened to matt oakley

Ahh, right, I see what you mean. It wasnt a gang up on Ewan so far as I was concerned. I have as I said been reading this forum for a while now, and have seen many of the posts that have been refered to as the arguements that this Ewan indivdual gets himself into.

I ALWAYS enjoyed the posts that Matt Oakley posted and threads he started. He is the kind of informative/constructive/knowledgable and considerate poster we need on this kind of forum. I thought his sense of humour brilliant, he was quick, thats for sure.

However, I was saddened earlier when I saw his name blacked out, thats all, and felt someone else needed to make a point regarding some of the negative posting habits that are sadly made on here. Ewan is blind to the damage he does thats for sure.

All these new names confuses me nowdays. Who's this Matt everyone is raving on about and even this Ewan fella for that matter!

I remember those you have past here in days gone by, JM123, Clearvision, the cat, easyclean, niel100 and all them good old chaps that once graced this forum.  

Is that hansome geordie chap still about with the two front teeth missing?

My 1st comment after yours was a bit barbed and i thought you are matt under another id.  :o
It's that david@stives bloke with his references to pidgeon the other day that made me think like that.  ;D

This thread has just cracked me up and proves exactly what is wrong with some on this site.
Matt says he's had enough of too much negative stuff written and lo and behold what happens straight away......more of it.
Don't forget to click on my web sites, afterall that's why I'm here ;D
I see Matt from time to time and an all round genuine person. Just a shame too many on here don't fill in their profiles and hide behind silly names. ;D
