Hello everyone, as my extremely imaginative username suggests, I'm Mark. I'm Somerset born and bred but I'm to be transferred to Brazil in the new year, which will be quite the change I'm sure. I'm a Labour member. I suppose I would say that I'm on the left of the party. I was a very enthusiastic supporter of Ed Miliband. I plan mostly to lurk, but may contribute to a few discussions if time permits. Welcome to the forum, Mark - hopefully you enjoy the place. Would you like to be added to the Labour group on here? That would be lovely. Thank you.

Welcome Mark. You have joined in time to elect a new admin! Is he in time to be the new admin? (This is how things work in Lib Dem local parties; someone observed in the Yellow Room that in the Conservatives being the local Party Chair(man) would be a position of power and responsibility, but in the LDs it just means you were the last one standing when everyone else had dodged it.)

Nominations close tomorrow... In some associations it is very much like that!

Every time I see a new poster in red I get excited and think we've got another recruit to the IFP room, and every time I'm disappointed.

But perhaps it shouldn't.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and others of both binary and nonbinary self and other identification.
My name is Ulthcalthing, I am a Tymbrimi ambassador to Earthling culture. prefered pronoun, His Excellency. Emotionally, I am very fond of you although intellectually, I am frustrated, contemptuous and disappointed with you.
For the sake of full disclosure it must be noted that as with a former Forum member, Boogieeck, my thoughts are channelled through the earthling medium of Mr Sandy Wallace, a former Conservative, unaligned and Libertarian Councillor in Aberdeenshire. As with Boogieeck however, Uthacalthing is not the same personage as Mr. Wallace. Uthacalthing, like Boogieeck is both less serious and more appallingly frank than Mr Wallace. Niether however is My Excellency Uthacalthing the same personage as Boogieeck, although if anyone cares, or even if nobody does, he may be able to shed some light on the thought processes of either, both or neither.
Boogieeck left the forum for a range of reasons, but firstly because he had both no more original thoughts to share and because most of you had forgotten his original thoughts. Secondly, he had some pressing academic work to complete and he had allowed this forum to become an obstacle to that work. That moment has passed if only temporarily
It is the intention of My Excellency, Uthacalthing to be less confrontational than Boogieeck had become and it is also the intention of Mr Wallace to avoid permitting My Excellency, Uthacalthing to aborb literally days of time each month that might be better devoted to practical work in what used to be called Real Life.
This it is anticipated will permit a flurry of Forum activity over the next two to three weeks, then very limited activity if any from Mid january onwards until May
But as I am sure we can all agree, the Gooksyu-Gubru are a bunch of C****. Although the Thennanin are OK.

You should beware of falling for the propaganda of the Tymbrini.

Are you addressing this to people discussing the Uplift books or to a particular poster?

Thought you'd have more sympathy for people who delete their account and then decide to come back?

Are you addressing this to people discussing the Uplift books or to a particular poster? I'm using a rhetorical flourish on reading the kind of language which bullied, needled, attacked and smeared me for months without redress only a few months ago.
