I really don’t have a clue what you’re on about but I’m going to type this:

Put down the keyboard preferably locked away, grab helmet and bike then proceed to open door and put foot to pedal

It was a TJ thing, not a Glupton thing.

Make ridiculous/controversial statement.

Get called out for it.

‘I was only joking’ - the Edinburgh defence. IIRC

Yep.

I forget the original topic, it was a few years ago. TJ claimed something, was proven to be mistaken (after a couple of pages of arguing IIRC) and then said he'd known all along and he was only kidding. Hence "the Edinburgh Defence" was born.

As running gags go, it's not all that interesting TBH. We probably shouldn't be using memes at the expense of individual users. #JambaFact

I often suffer from the opposite of The Edinburgh Defence where I try to be deadly serious and everyone automatically assumes I’m taking the piss.

Are you suggesting that Drac’s on some kind of Spectrum?

He’s probably a bit tetchy after being denied his pudding...

Yeah, don't criticise someone until you've racked up some air miles in CFH's shoes

That’s my wrestling name.

Maybe it should be the Wishy Widtakemeseriously

'The Lanarkshire Liability' is a great name for a wrestler.

If you're considering a new career I'll be your manager.

I expect he was more of a BBC man. Looks the type.

Unless he is based on Essex or something in which place I am back to square one...

Volvo for sale is a classic. You’ll find it on YouTube. Was that from when anyone could tag threads?
