Top pedantry! 🙂 Although, shouldn't it be "with a S"? 😉

I first came up with that particular phrase. 🙂

A modification of the phrase 'TJ defence' to emphasize that such rampant knobbery was not the sole preserve of TJ, but had also been brought into play by another resident of that fair city.

Happened during one of the interminable TJ/Cynic Al borefests that polluted this place so badly at the time.

Never ridden a tandem in my life. 😀

Didn't create the Wiki though. Wouldn't know how.

"Citation needed" - can anyone find the original thread?

Just seen the 'rate this page' bit at the bottom. It includes a checkbox to select if you are 'highly knowledgeable about this subject'

Lol 🙂

It's actually better than that - it says 'I am highly knowledgeable about this subject (optional)'

Seriously, TJ claimed never to have used the Edinburgh Defence, and I believed him, as I never used it either. None of you will believe this.

He definitely did at least once. I thought it was just a slanderous allegation but then I saw him do it and was quite shocked.

Just follow your nose.
It was about 20 pages long and smells, even now, of dead monkey's bums.

It went like this:
TJ - 'Al smells of wee and isn't my friend any more'.
Al - 'Don't care'.
FOR EVER.

Borefests?

No. you were both wronger than any other sentient beings have been in the entire history of the universe.

Many reliable sources cite it as a major reason for the subsequent double dip recession, the reformation of 'Take That' and a major outbreak of genital herpes in Lower Silesia.

That was the Meta defence.
"I've never used the Edinburgh Defence, honest"

* cut 20 pages of squabbling *

"OK, I did. I was just joking!"

It's horrible when former sweethearts break up. 😀
Everyone takes sides, it's sooo awkward.

Have you two made up yet?
Is TJ back on Mleh?

TJ has not returned to the mothership of mleh yet.

I think someone needs to pay him a visit with some clown shoes, a bread knife and a van.

(agreed, he is a lovely bloke, and very honest- unlike most folk on the internet he doesn't hide behind a persona and what you see is what you get)
