Title: Guilty Poll - Who Sent the Plasters
Post by: Orcs on 13 September 2017, 06:49:45 AM
Hi All,

Rather than have allegations and slurs made about the good members of the forum I suggest we follow the law.  The suspects should be judged by a number of their peers aka "The forum"

While I would be the first to admit that some of the Forum are not of sound mind enough for a proper jury, they are more than suitable for for this lynch mob juryl.

Please treat this vote with the seriousness it deserves, and think about who the guilty party is before voting.

Place your votes over the next week and we will then know without a doubt who that Nobby is the guilty party, and  must send a grovelling apology via the forum to Techno

Oh fantastic! I'm winning!  :D


I've never won anything before in my life!

Except two tickets to see "ABBA the Movie".

And that was a while ago.

I'm writing my grovelling apology. Whar do you think sounds better -"I cannot tell a lie. I sent the plasters!" or "I have nothing to confess - but my plasters"?

By the way; I maintain my innocence, but am so excited about the prospect of securing the popular vote.

Thank you to the two people who voted for me......But I have checked my orders on Amazon and they're definitely not showing there.

Mark......You can add Meirion to the list, if you like.

Cheers - Phil

Well, as some of you know, I have received a visit from "the Brotherhood." But despite paying an oddly satisfying awful price for my silence, I have decided to break this in the hope they will come back again.

I could have sworn it was Phil but what threw me was the spectacles (without lenses) he used to cunningly disguise himself - so I think it was Nobby.


Westermarcher?

I was always under the impression that the unspoken rule of the forum was "Blame Nobby!"

Quite correct, and what is wrong with that.  Are you some sort of "Do Gooder" who wants  fairness and justice.  A Lynch mob is far more fun  :)

P.S I will probably get the grammar police  AKA FK commenting on the word "Gooder"

He may be less trouble this side of the Mersey once the new Runcorn tolls come into effect - or will he be tight and drive to Warrington, the original first bridge over the Mersey - it's still free.

This seems like a totally rush to judgement (in the best traditions of humans since the dawn time).

That said we ALL know who did it!

Post by: Techno on 13 September 2017, 05:20:57 PM
Not guilty.... I voted for Nobby.

(I'm beginning to think this just might be one of those VERY weird coincidences...(Come on Phil..don't be daft....You know who it was)......I haven't had anything else from Amazon, today...Tomorrow...Who knows ?)

Cheers - Phil

Techno, Have you asked your good lady wife?

She could well be cursing Amazon for not delivering her plasters?
Title: Re: Guilty Poll - Who Sent the Plasters
Post by: Techno on 13 September 2017, 07:13:01 PM
No, Nobby...We just go down to the pharmacy in the village when I need plasters, while I drip blood all over their floor.
This is quite rare, as we have a cupboard full of the damn things in readiness.

Cheers - Phil

Are you sure? Wives are prone to to occasional uncharacteristic decision making. My (now ex-)wife popped out for a bag of winegums and a sunday paper and came back in a new car.

Perhaps after a long and irksome day, you suggested "let's get plastered" and she misheard?

Could it be an early Christmas present that the good Mrs von Techno was hoping to stash away from your child-like enthusiam?

Another, and genuine, not made up possibility, is that you were perusing Philately Quarterly, the magazine for the discerning gentleman stamp collector, and opined through a mouthful of  Welsh cake (the incongruous juxtaposition of nomenclature and composition of which says all you need to know about the Principality) and suggested "let's get some first day covers". Obviously this could have come out as "first aid covers". The long surfing Mrs T would have checked her marriage vows for an opt out (I know for a fact she has a laminated a6 copy in her pinny pocket at all times for just such a situation) and decided that this fell under "honour and obey" and toddled off to Amazon.  It could have happened that way.

You're just saying that, because I left an abusive message on your answer service last night, Nobby.

(I can't wait for the postman to arrive today.....Ooooooh....The excitement !.........Yes .....I do lead a sad life.)

I genuinely did not know that. Wonder how I access it? There's probably 10 years of unheard messages.



Oh! Maybe she did ring me back.  :'(

Phone your home phone number, Nobby,,,and see what happens.

There'll be umpteen from yours truly along the lines of "I'll catch you in a couple of days *******, take care, Matey." (They'll probably have been deleted by now.)

Thanks, Kitty. I once visited an outhouse on an isolated mountain farm that had that hanging inside the door.

Just address it to 'Toy soldier Phil', Pembrokeshire, Wales.....That's what I'm known around here as. (Might go to 'Mart the Tank', though.)  :P
