    Perhaps we should ask the resident expert in these matters, ewgf?

    Chalk and cheese, as Malcolm McLaren said to me when I asked him the difference between the Monkees and the Sex Pistols.

    Are you actually personal friends with any of them, or did you just add them to make your friends list look impressive?

    Didn't realise there was a law saying you have to have met someone IRL before you can friend them on Facebook. I have 91 friends on FB, and 23 of them I've never met face-to-face (all the ones I haven't met are Speccy people). I just like communicating with people who talk about old computers and technology (and in certain cases, explosions) an' all that.

    I'm not a big fan of tractors or namedropping, as I said to my good friend Ifor Williams the other day.

    Just a personal preference on my part for only having people on my Facebook list that would actually want to spend time with me in real life. Obviously that excludes people who are friends with scum like Swarfega.

    I've never discussed tractors with Gene Kranz ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Kranz ) but I have discussed the performance of a Cessna 172 with him on many occasions when I lived in Houston...

    I hope you never had to tell him that you had a problem, or ask him what your options were.

    Still think I'm this Swarfega guy, huh?

    Anyway, I hope your **** List not only covers my friends, but also the fans/followers of my work. So, that's the YSRNRY Facebook and Twitter feeds (200+ on each, with some overlap). Hell, if you want to be a completist (and something tells me that you are), there's also the Christmas UK fans/followers on Facebook and Twitter. FB and Twitter even makes things easy for you by giving you full lists of followers - perfect for you to cut and paste into your **** List. Maybe you'll even spend time memorising those lists. Again, something tells me you will. Maybe you'll even hassle them all over again, but I hope you don't.

    [Edit: The forum's censoring is annoying but rather amusing - I'll let the reader fill in the blanks to whatever tickles their fancy - who knows what you want to do to people who like me or my work?]

    It's kind of creepy that he's still reading every post I make to WoSf. I'd report him to the police for cyber-bullying if he wasn't so inept at it.

    What do you expect people to do with forum posts?
    Ffs will you two just have sex with each other and stop boring the rest of us with the behaviour of a couple of 5yr olds?

    Why would someone who thinks I'm a "cancer" bother to read my posts in the first place? I was only trying to illustrate the point that as far as I'm concerned Facebook is for people who like you and people who would associate with people who have a pathological hatred of you probably don't fall into that category.

    Plus I see he's still trying to take credit for other people's work.

    You of course have a URL which shows this?

    Perhaps I'd like you if you stopped talking crap about me all the damned time.

    Can we not have one thread about tractors that doesn't get turned into an Aowen/NickH flamewar?

    Take down the crap you've written about me, my personal medical details, and the highly selective IRC quotes that you're hosting at obdwww.egyptus.co.uk and then we can talk.

    That's a rather empty webpage, so it's obvious all is off from there, so you can start talking with each other again.

    You don't even use your real name. You'd hardly expect me to provide a link to details about my private life would you? I have offered numerous olive branches to Nick and all I get in return is abuse. Last time around he called me a cancer and blamed me for people leaving the scene. It's going to take a pretty big act of good faith on his part before I'll be willing to believe that he has any intention other than stirring up more trouble.

    Heheh. It is the best WoS thread for ages though! I'm off to get a nice bottle of wine... Keep up the great work chaps!

    I suspect it's the other way around.

    I'm trying to extract something positive from this. :-(
    Let's not get distracted and let's talk about tractors again.
    Please. This is too much for my digestive tract. :-(

    It has gone a bit OT (off tractors) hasn't it. Perhaps Guesser could tell us exactly what's left to do on his tractor restoration project.

    You see, I knew this would happen, nothing but trouble them there tractors. Trailers, you always know where you are with a nice trailer.
