I'm massive enough as it is!

Wind the clock back a decade and this forum was great crack.

Before my time.

Really? Thought you had been here forever.

BH - you've posted 27,339 messages... holy f@ck!
Assume I can say the 'f' word in the pub (Hummy Arms)?)
Oh F@ck, got myself into trouble, as I used 'assume'! Now reading the assume/presume thread!

Now reading the assume/presume thread!

That will take some time... and the early posts tickle me even now.

Senior moment time. I don't remember that!

You have posted 2,273 messages...

I was about to say chicken feed!

True

I am beginning to think EEPhil is Trev resurrected.

Reincarnated perhaps. Much missed.

How does that work? We were both around at the same time. We also replied to each others posts.

I thought that when the "Don't feed..." post was pointed out.

Yes Trev was one of the good guys. My first ever PM here came from him 10 years ago.

"I wish that I had the bottle to say that. I even bottled giving your post a like."

I will not say which post he was referring to or who it was aimed at

I was a member of a now defunct movie forum and one guy there had 4 personas and often had very long winded conversations with himself sometimes involving 3 or 4 of his accounts. The problem was he obviously had alcohol or drug issues and when off his nut it became blatantly obvious they were all him.

 

[EEPhil]

I have trouble managing one persona.

 

[gomezz]

In this context multiple personas are called sock puppets.

...and you wouldn't want to mess with that 3-4 account bloke's socks!

Not if you believe some comedians as to how they use their socks.

 

[prpr]

I tried to look that up but failed

Look what up?
Your first post or the first use of

which was by the Hole itself, as far as I can tell!

I think you may have been here at least a year or two before I signed up.

Well he's 365 and you're 4592, so at least two years I'd have thought.

 

[EEPhil]

He looks good for his age!
No wonder I feel tired.

Starmer announces new AI mobile tool for jobseekers

I think I'd put the emphasis on "tool"!
What can possibly go wrong?

There I was trying to find when a foot/cycle path (on a disused railway line to a closed mine, now a country park) might re-open. It was damaged a couple or more years ago by someone in a traveller's camp using a JCB on an embankment to make room for more caravans. Anyway, puts a question into DuckDuckGo. Plenty of reasonable answers even in the AI box - until

While the Holme Pierrepont to Cotgrave path is closed, a shared-use route is accessible via Washingborough village to the Eastern Bypass, and via Cherry Willingham and Greetwell Road to Lincoln along Monks Road. Additionally, local roads and footpaths can be used to navigate around the closure

Complete garbage! If I believe Google Maps that's 40+ miles to a point nowhere near the Notts village of Cotgrave, so another 40ish miles back then? 80 miles to do what should be a 1-2 mile walk. There are a couple of easy alternatives that should be obvious. This AI couldn't navigate its way out of a paper bag.
