Makes interesting reading.

That Brightonian Born & Bred chap is an interesting character.
I wonder if he's taken an interest in local politics.

"Remainders"

 

[Goldstone1976]

He comes across as both nasty and dim. Can’t possibly be standing for public office.

 

[Weststander]

I met Tim last week for the first time, he knocked on our door canvassing.

Straight away I was thinking it was funny to see the bloke who’s widely panned on NSC and who came up with a wind-up about a postponed football match.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I can't imagine that anyone who has any ambition to stand for public office would be stupid enough to spend years alienating people with ridiculous boorish postings all over social media first

Or, alternatively, that anyone who had spent years making such posts as you describe as well as boasting about kicking a cyclist off their bike, would subsequently think that standing for office in that same community was a good idea.

Whether the chronology was the way round you suggest or the reverse, it beggars belief.

Probably get elected though. ****.

PR will allow just that.

 

[Goldstone1976]

PR will allow just that.

PR, or the total apathy of the majority of the electorate to research the background of people standing for local government...?

He likes talking to himself on the internet too. Ask Paul Valley.

Did you mention the fog to him?

 

[Eeyore]

I used to comment on there. I soon realised how fruitless it was and, as much of a knob I was, I didn't have strong enough knobbish quality to grace that forum.

I can't wait for him to knock on mine.

What do you think I should ask him ?

What does he think of cyclists on the seafront ?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

What do you think I should ask him ?

If it's foggy.

Or if he has got a new alarm clock yet so he doesn't miss the next Melbourne Cup.

Worked for Trump!

 

[Weststander]

I wanted to, but couldn't bring myself to start a wind-up/row with a complete stranger.

It was funny seeing a middle-aged bloke, who'd been behind the NSC wind-ups and look-at-me-isms.

 

[Fungus]

His spelling seems to have improved, but he's as arrogant as ever.

The Argus Comments nutters are strange ones for sure.
