carlt Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Carlt[/b], Do you like anybody? You´r still the best arguer on here I bet? Yes I have a unique approach that gets results, and are now tried and tested.Did you ever clear your mess up around your boat by the way. Yes I do and I've made many friends, through this forum. I hope I hold my own, in arguments. As you point out, I lost my boat and home to a different breed of criminal and yes, the resultant mess has long gone. I didn't bleat and whine like a prat, about it, either, which is probably why I got many offers of help and only two complainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Well i've no idea who Pirate is but I do feel sorry for anyone who has lost their boat, especially if they've ended up in Europe as well.Casp' Nearly Missed this post, sorry Casper. Well Hi there I´m Pirate, nice to meet you Now you know me Who lost their boat, am I missing something here? please fill me in. Europe is vast, beautiful, and the canal networks are far superior to the Uk which IMO is back in decline, why don´t you check them out? Mind you, we can´t claim benefits Edited August 19, 2010 by Pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water Woman Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Oh heck. This thread has given me a headache. Maybe the reason I have found people here helpful but sometimes bolshy is because I did not have a lot of money to spend or lose. But I cannot say that I have ever felt that I have been given bad advice deliberately, or at all really. Maybe a lot goes over my head... I have a massively busy life, but I do read most of what goes on here even if I do not always comment. But the OP smacks of someone scorned in one way or another. I am off to lie in a darkened room (not really I am off to cook my dinner) I am sorry you have had troubles Pirate, I don't know you but I know you must have been through it by the tone of your post. But you do seem to be generalising a bit, lots of people here are good and genuine folk. Anyway, I hope it goes better for you.

Henhouse Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 For those who probably have no idea of the background to this...... Pirate was for some time a serious contributor to this forum, known to many who have been around a lot longer than a lot of those posting here. He followed the pattern of many others - someone for which having their own new narrow boat was a big ambition, and which they had thrown large amounts of savings into. Unfortunately for Pirate the dream turned bad - I'll pass no more comment on his individual case than that. Not a troll, in my view, although what he hopes to achieve from his latest posts is unclear to me, and I'm not sure he is doing himself any favours - particularly in terms of the reactions he is getting. I'm in no doubt from other stories about them, that the "boatbuilder" he chose has built some fairly poor boats, although the story has always been complicated by the fact that others have at times claimed to have had a reasonable boat from them. I'm saddened whenever I hear stories of the big canal boat dream that turned sour on somebody, and it's sad to see Pirate's name on the list of those to whom this applies. Nobody would want to find themselves in the position he ened up in, I feel sure. Very well put Alan. I think you have summed things up in a fair and balanced way. Nice to see a calm reasoned assessment. I don't mind a bit of banter, but this thread was becoming personal and vindictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, right. Let me get this straight. It was an attempt to mock someone you've never met before by insinuating that they might be claiming benefits? Nope, sorry. You've lost me.

NO, What´s wrong with claiming benefits? I wish I could I would clean them out if I had half a chance same as the polititions do If You can´t make sense of anything I say, why do you try? If you ever see me in the Uk again, It will be because I´m desperate and I will be in the front of the que.

alan_fincher Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi Casp No one knows who pirate is because like so many others his profile is anonimous so can spout what he wants. I for one never take much interest in postings by invisible people........ Wrong, Lots of people know who he is, including his name. Link Not very hard to find these things out, if they are troubling you. Odd Surname is "Smelly" But it exists...... I bought my last house from a Mr Nick Smelly. It proved to be a big mistake to let BT allocate me his phone number though, as it turned out he had not been ex directory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy to try and fill in some of the background for newer members, when you have not actually bothered to. However you are now, (as I'm sure you know!), acting like a total plonker. I'm out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught the first page about not trusting anyone on this 'ere forum.... I've met some delightfully unreliable skallywags on this 'ere forum...and boating is the better for it!
