Again I ask you are you making an allegation that I am in some way connected with Jim. If you are not a simple denial will suffice.
OK, let me ask you. Have you communicated with or are you currently communicating with Jim through any other newsgroup, forum or medium?
Please answer my question first. You have made a specific allegation, rather than pumping me for more knowledge I'd like you to confirm or deny that you are alleging a connection between myself and someone else.

Yes, I think you probably do have some contact with Jim, but if you deny it, don't expect an apology.

I don't expect you to behave in any manner that would be recognised as gracious, polite or even as rational. You've made allegations, snide comment and then you bleat about being "polite". OK, I'll spell it out so that even a retard like you can understand.

I live in Hampshire (sometimes) and in Italy (sometimes). Both places are a long way from Cumbria. I've been to Cumbria once in my life and that was at the age of 12, I've not been back since because pleasant as it is, it's a long way away from home. So I've never met Jim. Furthermore I've never exchanged email (I don't publish a valid email address), nor letters nor telephone calls, faxes, text messages. I don't use IRC, bulletin boards, web logs. I know nothing about Jim other than what I read here.

Incredible as it may seem if two separate people think that you are a card carrying fuckwit, it has nothing to do with a conspiracy, it's a simple interpreations of what you post and your inability to make a clear coherent statement on any issue.

All you will get is investigated by the Americans, which is perfectly OK providing you are telling the truth and you don't have plans to go there. Note the title of this thread.

Grow up you stupid arse, you're making libellous comment with no basis in fact.

Failing that a simple apology and an admission that you are telling lies would do.

I'm invariably polite to those who are polite to me.
That is blatantly untrue, or you have warped definition of "polite"

Nonsense. You clearly have no conception of good manners. That is why you have to take so many jobs to make ends meet.

The comment above verges on libel. Care to comment on how many jobs you took on in the past and interpret that in the light of your comment above?

Then I am inaccurate. It is a long wheel base jag....and I promise you that feels like a stretch limo.
Good god are you referring to that old nail of a Series III in the pictures? Or have you managed to scrape up enough for a nice high mileage X300? Arthur Daley is alive in Norfolk.

No, its an XJ6. I've gone down market, but the long wheel base makes it a beggar to park. Also it was bought in Essex. Yes I know....

But I thought you were fabulously wealthy, by your own claim? BTW, a LWB XJ6 is likely to be an X300, I don't recall a LWB XJ40. They can be had for peanuts you know, you find lots of them on council estates.

Well, it's not moving very fast today around you today is it? and you are not even getting on with your DIY.
What makes you thing that I haven't done that. SO far I've written 100 pages on a manual for a client, hung a new CH radiator and had my lunch.
I thought you sold olive oil.
Did you? How quaint, why did you think that?

Somebody mentioned it. There is nothing disreputable about selling olive oil. I sometimes buy it.

I didn't say there was anything disreputable about selling olive oil. I asked why you thought it was what I did.

Don't expect an apology.

No, I can see you're not man enough to apologise for your mistakes or your behaviour.

You are clearly a man of many talents. I can't imagine the average
consumer of olive oil needing a manual
I would imagine the average consumer of olive oil has many manuals to hand. Do you think that consuming olive oil causes blindness?

No, but I believe their was a case in Spain a few years ago....

That's "there" Shakespeare. Are you implying something about adulterated olive oil and my business?

or expecting you to hang a radiator for that matter.
Which bit of DIY did you fail to understand?

The bit that causes me to wonder why a businessmen would waste valuable time doing it.

Do you never do things for your own pleasure, or because you can do a better job than people who call themselves professionals?

Truthfully, I find all this modern jargon rather boring. I suppose it is used to glamorise, what is a rather pedestrian job into something exciting to impress the birds.
I'm married, I have no need to "impress the birds." Nor at my age much interest in doing so.
Then you should be using something comprehensible to your own age group.
You mean I should write down to our level? You gave me business advice and then demonstrated, clearly, that the advice was worthless because you know nothing about my business. In that respect, use of the term was worthwhile and valid.

It always pays to write down to your audience's level, which explains the level of English here, which owes more to an obscure Californian fantasy writer than the language of Shakespeare. 

Yes, but if we exclude your posts then the standard is quite high.

You didn't get things like "FMCG" in "The Grocer" when I was young. "Salesman" was far more accurate and to the point.
I realise that part of your trolling is call me a salesman from time to time. However I'm not a salesman, I'm a farmer and a business consultant. Furthermore FMCG has nothing to do with being a salesman, it is a term that is used to differentiate a particular style of business from others. AS you would know if you were even 10% of the businessman you claimed to be.
Amazing the number of farmers who are business consultants.
No from where I am, farming as you have been told before involves huge turnover and huge costs. It's not possible to extract much cash from farming because of the nature of the business and the perception of the value of food by the consumer.

Ah ha, yet another farmer who believes he has a duty to educate the consumer.

Figures. 

I'm educating you, AFAIK you have never purchased any of my produce.

Other businesses serve the customer and treat him or her with respect.
Being able to turn one's hand to something else isn't a luxury, it's essential.

Yes, of course.

Which means? You'd do better if, when you have nothing to say, you chose to say nothing.

If they were not usually one and the same the consultants would
outnumber the farmers. You clearly have found your spitual home in
ukba.
Try and get a grip on your life. Your petty jealousy is most amusing to others but it must be eating away at you.


No, I don't suffer from jealousy. Nobody in farming had ever heard of me, until that black day when our corrupt government veterinarians started to try to force my wife to become involved in criminal activities on her own home. 

Ah yes, the good old conspiracy theory.

How they must regret their actions 

Why?

Now they have even the Taiwanese chasing them round the countryside for lying and faking it up. Still we can't have a bunch of bent vets running us into yet another crisis, this time uncompensated.

I'm cheering on the Taiwanese.

I suspect you don't have a clue. Arguments between third world governments wanting to dump infected meat in the UK and government vets tasked with keeping it out of the UK have run for decades. It's amusing to watch someone who makes claims about pure food on his web*** pushing the case of impure food.
