Monocled Mutineer

You could both be paranoid - you are, afterall, almost related - HK and DK (same initial - by heck that's got me wondering!); Hmmmm yes - Mrs & Mrs K!!!

Boots and kippers - no I haven't lost the plot!

[HK phooey]

Bozza, I don't think you've ever had a firm enough grip on the plot to have lost it.

[Ray Scully]

My Doctor has told me I'm paranoid.

I wonder who else he's told.

I have a friend who also has them paranoids, blo*dy painful he says, has to take a cushion with him wherever he goes.

Hi Hezza,

I thought I'd put it on the packing pile - but then it just turned out to be a can opener lurking under the underwear!!! They don't call me tin knickers for nothing you know!

You're a star Hezza, a star.

Well, if it isn't paranoia, it means they really are out to get you!

What really amazes me about The Monocled Mutineer is this. Many members of the now sadly defunct P&O Cruise Community, some on here and some on Facebook have said that they have met him in real life and stated that he is a lovely chap and the life and soul of the party. Why then, when Derek was being particularly unpleasant on the Forum, did none of these people log on and say "Hey Derek, you are being an absolute kn*b, stop messing about, remember you're a nice guy"?!

I think MM posted for effect and to get the attention he craved, in real life, I suspect he is much more circumspect when faced with the people he routinely abused and denegrated
I doubt he would be brave enough to abuse people face to face like he did whilst hiding behind a keyboard

Not a person I would like to meet in any walk of life, let alone on my holiday

... Not a person I would like to meet in any walk of life, let alone on my holiday

And this is why you cannot be a Moderator on a Cruise Forum

[Dark Knight]

and that is why, I have kept rejecting your begging letters ,asking me to be one

[Manoverboard]

Shhhhh

I don't know TMM, but I don't think he hid behind his keyboard. I don't endorse calling people the great unwashed or swine, but he knew that saying things like that would wind people up - and they fell for it every time - but it was clear that he held sincere beliefs and principles, and he responded genuinely to things he had read on the threads. I think he would take people to task even if they were stood in front of him if their comments didn't sit easy with him.

[oldbluefox]

I am becoming a little uneasy that we are now starting to move away from the original post which was to ask about TMM's whereabouts to discussing his merits and virtues. I felt comfortable that the discussion was largely in favour of him with some light banter thrown in for good measure. However as the debate has developed I also realise there were many people who were far less enamoured and since it is unacceptable to be discussing those who are unable to fend for themselves it denies his 'detractors' a voice and the debate becomes one-sided. As a reminder John's original post was:

Does he post on here at all?

I miss his views and discussions with him.

He is certainly a Ram not a Sheep.

[paultheeagle]

John......No the MM does not post on here Do we care?

But I does, not as much as I used to, but I does .....Sorry.

Dear OBF,

Like most threads I agree that this one has gone off track a little. However most of it is good humoured, so why the discomfort? Surely a little bit of banter between members is preferable to an empty sterile forum as was the case on here last evening.

I can honestly say, hand on heart, that old Degsy will be missing me more than I'm missing him. I think he was in love with me

I have always enjoyed your incisive balanced contributions to this Forum
So can you imagine how let down I feel after reading your last post and finding you are a Daily
Mail reader.


Ray

Thank you for your kinds words sir.

I would point out, though, that I only read it because SWMBO buys it! At least it's not The Sun...

[Silver_Shiney]

My Doctor has told me I'm paranoid.

I wonder who else he's told.

I was joking around with a customer a few years ago and was going to say "Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you" but I had a check in my spirit and didn't.

Good job - it turns out she actually was paranoid

[Silver_Shiney]

You should be (highly strung that is)

haven't you missed out the word "up"....

[Dancing Queen]

I can honestly say, hand on heart, that old Degsy will be missing me more than I'm missing him. I think he was in love with me

Oh to be sure Helen, I think he rather "thrived" on your little liasons
