I suspect its exactly that.

MSE forums had one displaying similar traits with somewhat bizarre threads, also took to giving some rather odd advice, i hope its not the same individual.

Where's Skidpan when we need him? :)

No-one has said anything about the original post being spam.

I cannot imagine anyone just beginning to think about buying a racehorse (or indeed a car) four days before Christmas. And cars are a part of modern life for nearly everyone, unlike racehorses. There cannot be anything like the same level of awareness, or lack of it.

I still say this is a wind-up. If I'm wrong I will apologise and donate £20 to a charity of the OP's choice.

I'll chuck another £20 into the ring, but it'll be to Macmillans (we have a macmillans collection box at work which gets well supported)....sorry about the proviso folks, i'm averse to keeping fat cats in scandalous salaries as too many charities prove.

Avant you are always fair, but the pattern emerging here is familiar, and rather too familiar to the MSE troll who made themselves a real PITA under several identities.

I thought spam meant unwanted, unasked-for advertising.

"...what would you use to describe obviously stupid postings like the OP's."

Trolling? (= making online comments designed to produce a negative emotional reaction in others)

It can also be a way for someone to register a verified account on the forum - make a valid post and then come back at a laster date and make one about the room you cook in.

Gordonbennet, got any falling off the back of your...

If you can wind it up to a min 30' tipping angle with your scissor jack, then connect your foot pump and pump the body up to a bar pressure and keep it going while it fluidises and blows, sometime around next september assuming your right leg hasn't dropped off in the meantime you could probably get 28 ton of slightly stale flour out of it i s'pose, would YRG be endeared for ever to find that in her Christmas stocking?..:-)

Youngflourgirl - what a nice thought, as long as you say it rather than write it.

Like it!

yrg is a child of the 60's so quite appropriate. whereas I am one of the last "georgian" children.
