I'm calling "bollocks!" on your last post, Pastie.

If you knew Bodmin Gaol at all then you wouldn't have to Google it.

My reading of the situation is that you tried desperately to wum me on whether or not I (or my builder) knew Cornwall, and when I brought up the subject of the Gaol, you leapt at the chance like a dog with two dicks. Unfortunately for you, though, Pastie, you didn't expect me to have been in negotiations to buy the place, so you flew into a feverish panic that set you desperately tapping away at your computer, but the damage was already done, and I tied you up in knots, last night.

I heartily recommend everyone to go and read it, since it presents an absolutely master-class in how to destroy an amateur wumster!


<laugh>

Were you going to turn the landmark piece of architecture into flats mate?

Change of use might have been an issue like
 
btw HIAG a quick look on the net shows that Bodmin Jail (Gaol in Cornish love - you've been spending too long with that brickie :) ) last changed hands in 2004.
Gaol in English. Jail is the American spelling. Jail is more common now, but even when I went to school it was more correctly Gaol. Too many bloody Westerns.
 
Neither did you, Pastie. Don't try and make out that you did.

I've already told you. I'm from Lewisham. If you're going to spin a story you need to keep up with the facts mate :)

So which town does your builder come form ? And have you worked out what the name of that 'failed' nightclub that's still going strong today is called ?
 
I have been expertly planning for weeks. I knew Stan and Pixie were dead certs, but I was surprised that I snared Tobes, too.

That's the danger in my wit, see. Sometimes, quite inadvertently, I hit the ragged remnants of a fragile and damaged psyche, and that can get messy, as it did with Tobes. I hope he's okay.

Is the late night hysterical ranting as to why people are quizzing you all part of the masterplan?

That explains why you had to Google Bodmin Gaol, when I had you on the ropes, last night.

That's because it's called Bodmin jail. You must be very dense not to have understood that by now. :) Your version of 'on the ropes' had you bullshiting about buying a 'failed' club which is still going strong today and bottling telling me where your Cornish builder is from, presumably because like your Bodmin **** up, you knew I'd pull he rug out on that BS too.

Is that the usual HIAG white flag being raised there?

The 'master wummery' card?

"It was all a wind up lads - honest, aren't I brilliant for making myself look a prize turnip by talking out of my arse"

I suppose you hypnotised me with some form of Jedi mind trick into bringing up the entire subject. What a master class......

Post the Picard mate, you're done.
 
And... bang on cue, he appears!
<laugh>

Al I have to do is tug on the line.
And bang on cue, here's HIAG, battered and bruised but still coming back for more!

To be fair I credited you for giving the character of the builder a bit of depth by making him Cornish. However, I suspect you started sweating again when you found out Piskie lives in Cornwall as it meant you'd have to evade yet more details!
