Face the facts.

OK, take me through this slowly.

1) you know what you say in your .sig is out of context and against the
ideals of the person that you quote.

2) you don't cycle yourself

3) you inhabit a cycling newsgroup

4) have you spotted something odd yet?

Bodge Job is a troll - if you ignore it you starve it of the attention it
craves.
I ignore all five of them, even though my killfile list shows they have sent
thousands of messages to me which all get dumped.
What a waste of their time.

You seen have taken my advice, Wm and thanks for the e-mail about
Trollsworth le Trolle.
Very interesting.

Hi Dave - thanks for the email about Simple Simon - very interesting.

Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists.
This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users.
The actions of a true psycholist.

Eh? I haven't sent you any e-mail.

You have in Masons fantasy world.



Perhaps someone else did :-)

I understand that if someone has a security leak in their system - one effect
is that others can easily read their email exchange.

This is of course just a hypothetical example : but imagine the email exchange
between Porky Chapman and Simple Simon after a certain letter - wouldn't it be
interesting to have a browse round:

"Well I think that you should take it to the police" :-)

Simon Mason used to post from BP Chemicals where he works.
He repeatedly said that he was wasting BP's time; and not his own
time - like other posters were.
After the BP AGM in April 2012 Mason suddenly stopped posting from
a BP IP address. People have asked why - but he won't say :-)

Stalkers can more comprehensively use the Internet in order to slander
and endanger their victims. In such cases, the cyber stalking takes on a
public, rather than a private, dimension.

As some of you may recall, I have discovered an 8 metre by 4 metre
patio under a heap of soil and compost at the end of my garden. The
patio is now clear.

I intend to use the patio to build a log cabin and garden store.

Mad Dave doesn't believe I can do it - but given the quality of his
decking I have no confidence in his judgement.

The log cabin is now ordered, and I expect delivery in a couple of
weeks. But today I took the first step in the cabin's construction. I
picked up 15 breize blocks to lay the cabin's bearers on, and
positioned them roughly.

Here are a couple of before and after shots.

I'll keep updating as the cabin's construction progresses.

The shed bearers are now joined and in position ready for next
weekend's build - if the weather is fair.
http://www.britishschoolofcycling.co...os/shed/05.jpg

One of the bearers is warped, but I am assured that the weight of the
shed will straighten it.

I now need to cut some damp proof course to length to lay under the
bearers.

The flooring has had two coats of weatherproofing, and I will now give
it a third coat. Once nailed in place the underside of the floor will
be inaccessible for further treatment.

Could you not paint one of the fence posts white as a homage to the
work of the Bodge Merchant?
It would raise a titter every time you went into the garden.

So, Medwit was wrong, and building a log cabin on concrete blocks, as
I propose doing, is a sound idea.

Depends what they're sitting on - four to six inches of compacted
gravel is often recommended. *You should probably put DPC between the
blocks and the timbers too, IIRC.

The blocks are on a crazy paving patio. The patio has been there at
least 60 years, but I have no idea what is under the patio. The patio

The leprechaun's pot of gold is there.

itself is in excellent condition, having been burried under two or
three feet of soil and compost for the last 20 years.

I had intended to lay a damp proof course between the joists and
floor, but it makes good sense to lay a membrane on top of the
concrete blocks as well.

At least get a metal detector over it to see if there is a stash
there.


I am hoping the cabin will have a 30-40 year life, but perhaps I am
being wildly optimistic.

don't bother thinking about it.

I'm tempted to do that, because he is a complete arsehole.

Don't say you are in the dogbox too? She does not answer me neither. At
least not today.
Perhaps she uses a killfile ---
