    Got a bit bored....

    So decided to wind a few up on PHs. Sorry, I must repent. But they deserve it!

    Of course, I would require a link as I have never frequented PH.
    Unless it means 'Public Houses' of course...

    Like you Bob I'd need a link as I ain't a member either.

    A quote from that thread:

    'The guy in charge seems to be ex military, from when that is supposed to have meant something'

    Does time spent in service to queen and country not matter these days then?

    So Skyman, you think trashing TZ-UK generally and Eddie Platts specifically on PistonHeads is OK?

    Very classy.

    Wrong search result guys. But then the dates might have told you that. It is 2019 isn’t?

    Sadly it does not,if the media and the BBC in particular weren’t blanking us the country might know what was going on.
    That is veterans protesting peacefully, including 30,000 outside the Houses of Parliament.

    PS Sorry to bore your (no doubt) interesting life, but tbh your name says it all......I can say things a bit slower if that would help your understanding.
    PPS the new GMT is superb, thank you.

    And the very best to them, sold down the river by a weak government, and not reported by an even weaker Beeb.

    So trashing the forum and Eddie last year rather than this year makes it OK, does it?

    If Eddie or his site isn't to your taste, bog off. You won't be missed.

    I do find this forum a bit odd nowadays. All this talk of ‘cars and watches go together’ has nothing to do with watches and more to do with significant displays of wealth, aka willy waving. If you point that out you’re apparently jealous/poor/both, personally I find it rather cheesy. And I worked in the city in the 80’s, wore red braces and lots of hair gel, if I think it’s cheesy god knows what other people think

    All daddy’s money, inherited wealth, work shy toff, never needed to “deal” with money so knows the value of nothing
    Or
    Nouveau riche, knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing.

    I’m not sure which is worse.

    How about the middle ground? Worked my arse off, got lucky, now very comfortable. New money comments are made by those with nothing, who make no effort, and will never have anything.

    Is it wise to ask Eddie for a judgement? He has been known to do the unexpected!

    Worked hard, now comfortable, therefore new money.

    Or are made by old money, who look down on self made upstarts, forgetting that their family wealth was new money once.

    Nunya, you are clearly a smart guy. Now just go and find something which uses your talents better and in a less annoying manner, there’s a good boy.

    Now, now, no need for the condescension, just because you know I am correct in my observation.

    If this annoys you, I suggest the issue lies with you. Not to worry though, you are not on your own, it is quite common amongst self made types trying to be old monied types, they care too much about how others see them and their wealth.

    Mr. Skyman,

    I actually enjoy your posts. You are clearly a man of means and you are also clearly a man you likes to wind others up. Good for you. It breaks up the day!

    However...

    I still think your comments regarding the armed forces was bang out of line. I happen to think that being a veteran still matters. Many don't. You might not. I also understand that it was not posted on this forum. But it was posted. Therefore, I'd like to take this opportunity to state publicly I think you are an unpleasant chap.

    Regards
    Dave

    Regardless of anything else, should we not tame the language a little whilst this thread is on the publicly viewable 'watch talk' forum.

    Let's keep the forum in good repute and save the rest for BP.
