    Where’s cilla

    Haven’t seen him posting on here for a while and a quick look suggests he hasn’t been on here for nearly a month.
    I don’t know if his area of Spain is badly hit with the virus or not and although he fries my head with some (a lot) of his posts, I hope he’s ok.

    I've sent him a PM in Dutch. Perhaps that helps.

    Perhaps he annoyed our host sufficiently to put him on universal ignore.

    Making it clear that I would hope that he is safe and well, I also can't see why anyone would be in a rush for him to come back on the forum and continue bashing the UK and generally spouting rubbish.

    He's a forum 'character', so I wish him well, but my bet is some ageing widow has him in lockdown... I just hope he resists posting photos...

    It's just a matter of time...

    Hmm. If he was sulking I would have thought we would have heard about it. I hope the sudden silence isn’t something serious. He’s mad but part of the great tapestry of this place.

    I'd agree with that.
    Surprised Eddie lets him post his bile.

    No matter how you deride him on a particular topic, it's like water of a ducks back.

    I've got the annoying t****r on ignore but I don't wish ill-health on anybody. Hope he's well and on top of ...err... 'things'.

  24. #24
    The same thought had crossed my mind. Hopefully he’s fine, might see that despite the content of most of his posts, people do still think about him and care about him, and might come back with a slightly less hostile approach to our hard-to-understand nation.

  25. #25
    Yeah a bit strange that the usually overactive keyboard warrior now confined to home has not posted in a while...
    hope all is well

  26. #26
    I hope he's ok, and locked down with one of his concubines.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    Indeed, you have to admire his resilience, if little else!

    Sounds like the boss lost patience in the end. Can’t say I’m surprised given some of the stuff he used to come out with

    I’m glad he’s not unwell, but I don’t miss his constant anti-UK posts.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    It's hard to imagine that he'll sneak back in under a new ID.

    That's strange as his profile doesn't say he's banned, just "Grand Master" like a regular member

    Weird

    Feel sorry for his ladies mind, as they clearly have his complete and undivided attentions

    He just sees us as does a fair part of the world right now, looking on aghast as we demonstrate that bluff and bluster isn’t a viable strategy for dealing with Covid-19. The truth hurts, I suppose.

    I've had him on ignore for a long time, but nothing to do with any Anti-UK position.

    In this respect, I think he provides an interesting insight into how a lot of the world sees Britain these days (even pre Covid) - It's not as rosy as many here would like to believe.

    I can't say I'm entirely surprised he's banned (if, in fact, he is), but I'm glad he's not been affected by Covid (well any more than everyone else).

    I appreciate that his observations riled several people here. At the same time I don’t think he ever resorted to uttering obscenities or making ad hominem attacks on those who challenged his opinions, despite him being subjected to a fair amount of vitriol. If it was a case of banning everyone who thinks we’re on our way to hell in a handcart, then I suppose there would have to be quite a cull of the present membership, me included.

    I suspect he just got fed up with the abuse, he just riled the usual bunch of thugs who are past masters at gang hut mentality. I agree he spouted a load of rubbish but he acted more civilised than the thugs who went for his throat time after time.

    I had/have no idea who Cilla was/is so as Spain was mentioned I presumed it was you Mick. Clearly not.

    I don't know whether to feel flattered or insulted by that.

    I wouldn't worry about him catching COVID, he is not far from me and this area has hardly been affected.

    Well I don’t know who he is so was just making the link with Spain, so it’s not an insult. Main thing is Mick you’re still about :-)

    Just to be clear, Cilla is a full blown expatriated Spanish citizen and lives here 52 weeks a year from what I can gather. I am just a retired Brit who spends 5 months each year in Spain, I am just a tourist. I came here in March for a 6 week stint but thanks to all the airflights being cancelled, I am trapped here until normal service resumes.

    Cilla does indeed live in Spain. However one thing he isn’t is a Spanish citizen. If he could he would renounce any citizenship.
