The future of Nuts

 As above, you bring your family into discussions on the site, and are clearly and quite rightly very proud of your daughter whom you mention often.

However, when I once innocently asked you what your daughter's opinion was on your views about Cummings' advice to government (which was along the lines of allowing the old and vulnerable to pass away at the onset of the pandemic), you immediately banned me without giving me the chance to respond.
I didn't mean any harm then, and I don't now.

Normal? Bonce?

I can't believe these words appeared in the same sentence. Definitely a first.

I'm not only the nearest to normal, I'm also almost sane.

Bob's chat up lines need some work, but he's getting there.

I was particularly impressed with his 'You don't sweat much for a fat bird, do you'.

Sluffy suffers from the delusion that I have posted on this forum under another identity yet has never provided any proof or even identified this other alleged identity. How is that being "honest and straight"?

He also banned me for daring to point out the logical weakness in one of his arguments. If you can be bothered look at post 43 in the Keir Starmer thread, try and work out what crime I committed to justify Sluffy banning me.

Almost yeah. If it were up to me, I’d allow you out in the community. Can’t say fairer than that can I?

Hi XM,
Good to see you back, even though its only a fleeting visit, (and, unsurprisingly, with no response from Sluffy).
I was getting ready for the Brexit battle we were no doubt going to have, but just about everything is being commandeered by a wonderful,  all-knowing, financial guru and his carer, leaving the forum repetitive and boring.
Hang on in there, you'll be able to post one day, without being picked on. That 'Nutjob' Wander seems to have weathered the storm.   
With a bit of luck, I haven't prompted a 20 paragraph response.

Cheers glos.

No surprise that "honest and straight" Sluffy hasn't replied. Maybe he is too busy pretending to be someone else.

You're a fake account looking to troll and you expected a response from me, really???

If Glos or anyone else wants to think differently that's up to them.

If you've come back to just troll me then don't bother, other than that it's up to you if you want to stick around or not.

I'm sure you are not a troll, unlike the tolerated and protected Ten Bob. I always find your posts perfectly polite, reasonable and well-argued.

So do tell me about this Bob character I have been hearing so much about.

Thanks bonce. I can't promise to be on my best behaviour though so a detention from the headmaster for answering him back is always a possibility.
