I seriously couldn't be arsed, its all in the past, and if it's not you then he's got you off to a tee.
I'm not a member there now (as you know) but members get to see e-mail addresses, mail him and ask him if it's you.
B4 they unsub you (tomorrow probably)
It's much more fun for you over there, keep it up and they'll make you a moderator!
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Well, I was wrong, you saw the day out (by letting"Dr Jekell" out for a while) but getting them to change the name of the forum........That is
amazing. If only your powers could be used for good instead of evil.....................

Both are a correct past tense.
Dreamed ... Dreamt
Learned ... Learnt
Spelled ... Spelt

No they are not!
Learned means having knowledge, or in reference to the legal profession.
Learnt means past tense of learn!
Spelled is a present tense not past.
Spelt is past tense!
So there!

It would depend on which dictionary you use though. A good English Dictionary or a dictionary for beginers!

Hmmm, can't quite work out of you are being serious.
If so, then you really are spectacularly ill educated. Still, being illiterate is not the burden it used to be, I am sure you find interestingly
menial labour.
Sadly there really is no cure for cretinism.
How could I have even THOUGHT about leaving you chaps ... when this is so much fun.
p.s. Wynford Hicks, who lectures in English at the LSE agrees with me, I have a copy of "English for Journalists" with me right now.
Plus he has a few good pointers on Past and Present tense, which you might find useful, as you appear not to know the difference.
Unless of course you are using the Midlands vernacular ...
"I learned him" .... "I won him 2-0"

Hmm, is it the same con-siderable?
Hello Guys,
just popped over to see what you are saying about the list.
FWIW, its a shame that Alan was pissed off 'bout listers 'ordering' him to unsub Mr Considerable. I agree with Alan - he didnt do anything
contravening the rules, so why should he be unsubbed? We don't have any rules banning idiots, otherwise anyone building their own chassis would be
barred...(including me)
Just so you know, there ARE a lot of builders on the list (from a comment here!!), and a lot of lurkers. Hey Ho, that how it goes.
Sorry many of you guys feel its such a crap list - it isnt most of the time. Only when tossers like con_soderable deliberately stir things up. Shame
that some of the list members get drawn into it. Oh well, with 1500 of them there bound to be a few who cant help themselves!!
Anyway, must get back to moderating TOL, you never know who's going to turn up.

Ooops, typo.

In reference to ....
*Learned means having knowledge, or in reference to the legal profession.
True, but it is also the past tense of the verb "To learn" .... "Yesterday I learned that the Yahoo Locost listers have rabies"
*Spelled is a present tense not past.
Er, no. "I can spell apple" vs. "In the above I spelled 'of" incorrectly".

Hi Chris....
Noticed you mentioned resubbing to TOL !!
Thought you would like to know that I took you off the banned list some months ago (I think when I became the moderator!). Mainly because I didn't
think you had done anything wrong!!
Anyway, you are more than welcome.

They are going to love you if I start re-posting again, and give my reason as your continued bad attitude 
Seemed like they didn't think much of you before !
Just need to get rid of my remedial english class first, then I will be gone from here too

Thanks James, I've never really been away, I read the list most days, but I wouldn't really want to post again, it's not something I'd want to go
through again!
Plus it might dilute the wit and wisdom I dispense daily on here.
Thanks for the offer tho........

There it is in black and whatever yer got yer background set to.
You said you were unsubscribed.
Mr Hughes said he unbanned you.
Implies you were BANNED which isnt a voluntary act.
Mr Gibbs, as I never doubted, you were right all along
You were pushed!
You never jumped!
(bet it took some kinda shove, if your reputation is true :0) )

He he he, such a stupid argument!! That the message posted by Con_siderably (whoever he may be) has caused so much bo**ocks is incredi.......no hang
on what am I thinking!! Mr Hughes is known in Locost racing circles as 'The Lawnmower Man' due to his sage advice on the Locost Racing list about
tuning x_flow engines based on his experience with Honda GX160 engines in go-karts (as it happens for my sins I have been a go-kart mechanic on a
professional basis and, apart from it being a 4-stroke engine there are NO similarities) so why should I be suprised that someone sugesting people
should learn to walk before they start running ie build a 'simple' car with a 'simple engine and actualy be able to drive it/know how it handles
before they start designing the 21st century Mclaren F1 - should put so may peoples backs up..........

I've just sat for the last 45 mins trawling through every post since he started his 'debate' last Thursday....
Having never even bothered to look at TOL before now I wondered if I might be missing something useful.
Having read posts other than those related to Considerably I can see I've missed nowt as any technical information or advice I can get hold of on
here.
It's gotta be said that if I was moderator of it there would have been about a million bans, none of which would have been Con.
And congrats to Gusterwotsit for finally losing his respect for TOL.

Trust me, I don't feel great...I feel quite bad.
Contrary to popular belief I don't do this for a living. My original intent HERE was to respond to some fairly unpleasant stuff about Caterham
owners. I hope we came to some sort of agreement ... that yes, every "group" have their "objects of derision" (ours is Westfields) but that the
internet is generally an open place, and perhaps a degree of restraint is in order. As Mr Ison very put it so well, if we met for a beer, we would no
doubt get on OK, and spend a long time talking about cars or Kylie.
I am no more like "Tim-nice-but-dim" that you guys are like "Wayne Slob"....but we can't let that get in the way of a good bit of banter, now can
we.
The TOL thing was a bit more speculative, although I was, and still am, quite serious about the Lotus Seven "link" ... I paid a lot of good money
for the "real" link
...but I had no idea it would turn into QUITE such a feeding frenzy, hence my continued absence.
Anyway, enjoy your cars. And if you see someone driving a Caterham around the Boxhill area... chuck something at them .. it might be me !!!

Actually I turned up for the February one .. but about 90 mins late. Just bikes in the car park - ahhh, now I am thinking you might not mean Rykers ?
Do you meet in the NT carpark at the top ?
Won't make March, as getting v.v. drunk on the Saturday, and won't be sufficently sober by 10am, plus have to make cooked breakie for guests.
Will wave a bacon sandwich at Boxhill for you.
