What an intellectual powerhouse! You had to add the "AND PROVE" as an afterthought. What you write and say is always discounted by your troll status, because you have never proven anything. You forfeited your credibility with your first rant. Any worthwhile information which might have got into any of your posts will always be tainted regardless of its value. You slip in a few facts and half truths as bait. When you get a nibble, you always try to set the hook too soon. It must be tough holed up in that basement. -- Just another P&S troll hunter.

Until you have to file lawsuits against image thieving trolls like Vance due to the photography excellence you have NO ROOM to make any comments about how they are presented. LOL!

With google maps I thought I'd find some interesting listed building near my home, the closest two were a Red telephone kiosk and a fence around a pub that is now a betting shop, the pub not the fence. |
