Ipod

[Nailest]

JOK's a closed club. To avoid membership, one has to be elligible for membership.

(and too stingy to pay a tenner)

[Iain]

Now that narrows it down considerably!

[i-pod]

Perhaps this was not clear ...

Avoid JOK like the plague - membership simply entitles you to help plan and organise events in distant parts of the country.

This should be interperted as follows [one should] ...avoid JOK like the plague ... [as] membership...

Rather than [I] ...avoid JOK like the plague ... [as] membership ...

This widens the field somewhat - but why this fascination? Have I said anything particulalrly controversial that you see the need to 'out' me? I have no idea who over half the other contributors are - their stage name are opaque to me, as I am not an afficionado of Edinburghspeak - but it doesn't stop me enjoying their posts.

Mmmm. I'm quite curious about Ipod - he writes well - probably not a student then Yes he is definitely male. He thought one on my pictures was unflattering - how does he know that unless he know what I look like normally - but I don't know anyone who lives in London, do I?

[Nailest]

No real burning desire to out you, more of an intellectual curiosity. I had a nagging suspicion that you were someone I knew, but it seems now that that's not the case.

So, I shall continue to enjoy reading your posts, without the faintest idea who you are.

i have a good answer.

but then i don't know who anybody is. mrs h, are you deliberately trying to throw the pack off the thread?

[Mrs H.]

Ooooo Crickey - I wish I was that clever - are you telling me Ipod is not male? I'm astonished My mind's gone blank - it must be all that storm damage from saturday.

Mrs H.

Your avatar has changed again – what a chameleon!

I shall refrain from commenting on whether it is flattering, lest you suspect me of knowing you, except in the sense of reading your postings and delighting in your ever changing persona.

Afetr reading a posting from I-pod on the PeterB thread - I think I-pod is also double posting - which leaves me even more confused than I was. I think we are moving into the realm of that old Dallas Shower sex change scenario - you know Bobby Ewing emerges out of the shower not to Pammy who has been having a terrible dream, but as Pammy now there's a modern twist - or possibly Beauty and the Breast

It's simple - there's actually only 5 different people use [nope], but between them they've got 169 usernames so that they can indulge their schizophrenia by having 30-way arguments with themselves

[i-pod]

Nice theory Ed,

Remind me, am I the same person as you, or one of other other four?

[Ed]

well, answering a question like that could destroy the entire system and bring [nope] down like a pack of cards... so I'd better not say anything

[bendover]

its true. i am (to name just a few) peter b, i-pod, pyrat, samsonite, ed, mrs h, neil m35, kitch, m, brooner, and the illegitimate spouse of brownie and everyone.
