So do I, dammit!!
I have to live in the same country as this nefarious character....life
really is not fair at all, is it?!

From what I understand, there are others....the various police
departments of our States and Territories; the Australian Taxation
Office; The Customs and Immigrations Departments; Interpol; the FBI and
Mrs. Charlene Ungent, of 16 Strewth Road, Oodnadatta....apparently she
is pregnant.

We don't.  I've issued orders this day to have him transported to
England.

What makes you think we would accept him....? Heck, we got rid of those
we didn't want by transporting them over there!

We're sending him back under warranty.  We don't like the colour and
he's two sizes too large.
Please replace with a new unit, in beige, size 32.

Thank you.

So what? That's still not nearly as lame as starting a flame/attack
thread about a specific person, as you did.

Quite right, Joe. I also don't recall Byron Forbes spending a week and
scores of messages telling everyone how inhumanly stupid they were
because they didn't jump on the "GPL Sucks!" bandwagon Mr. Mak managed
to construct all by himself, based on his vast knowledge of vehicle
dynamics.

This latest nonsense is just a troll on top of a troll.

Earth to Mak, Earth to Mak...get a life, pal.

    Some woman (I think it was a woman but the reply was appropriate in
any case) comes on here out of the blue and says "Blah blah balh". Like
others, it had no clue! Obviously I enjoy reading from and posting to
this NG and have taken it upon myself a little to exercise a little
quality control. I don't enjoy garbage posts but I do enjoy flaming the
posters of such garbage!

We regret to inform you that the model is no longer available in beige,
size 32. We can supply in beige in either size 31 or 33 or size 32 in tan.

For your convenience we are returning your current Mr Forbes (TM) model
until you can make a decision. You will of course be liable for all
delivery charges as per paragraph 41, sub clause (iii) of the warranty
agreement.

Now I thought this thread started because some *** guy (Byron) was being
rude to fellow newsgroup members, and that we as a group shouldn't tolerate
such b***comments being posted.

Personally I've found many of Byrons contributions to the group to be
valuable and many times humorous, but then I guess I must have a sick mind.

Cheers

No, no, no!!!  We *DON'T* want this one back and I have refused to sign
for it!  It's dreadful!

Also, I'm sorry but "tan" is definitely out; it looks too 'military' and
clashes with the carpet.
We'll take the beige Forbes in size 33 and will re-arrange the furniture
to suit.

Question:  Does the replacement model come with castors or will a
trolley be necessary?

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

An almost-satisfied customer.

   I thought you were Brazilian! Anyway.

   Funny you should mention it. It just so happens I played 6 seasons of
gridiron over here for Sydney University. First two years undefeated I
might add. This story might interest you a little Charlie.
     On a cold and wet day at Endeavour Field, Cronulla, Sydney,
Australia I turned up to said venue to play for NSW State team Vs an
American All Star team comprised of many All Americans from divisions II
and III in America's college leagues. After giving many of my regular
Uni team mates a good tongue lashing for simply not having the guts to
take the field along with most of the other good players from other
Sydney teams, I took the field in my regular position of TE (also played
SE [2 good TEs on my team], DE, ILB, OLB). After seeing there were no
RB's prepared to run the football (fair enough in light of the fact the
OL was pitiful) I laughed to myself and thought what a long day this
would be. After a few series of no 1st downs and being down about 21
nothing I TOLD the QB to throw me a down and out to which he replied
shivering "you wanna run a pattern?" To which I replied "of course I
^*%$ing DO". In hind sight I realised he did not want to throw passes
out of fear of being sacked rather than as a favour to recievers. So I
run my typical out pattern, turn, catch the football and then turn up
field full steam ahead in true Rugby League Front Row Forward tradition
(9 seasons of rugby league experience does not go astray in this
situation)! At this point I realise the difference in close rates
between these guys and the LBs and DBs I'm accustomed to. I no sooner
have the ball tucked away when KABOOM!!!!!!! First to hit me is outside
LB (MR Nebraska Bodybuilder) with a host of others soon following. I
felt like I had been hit by a bus and thought my arm was broken! As they
drag themselves up from the ground expecting to see another twisted
piece of meat they notice I am half way back to my huddle and looking
directly at the totally stunned look on my players faces that I even got
up let alone showed no signes of anything being out of the ordinary. 8
yard gain! Next down I TELL the QB he is rolling out behind me and we
are getting a first down if it kills us! Ball is snapped, CB reads
immediately and comes for QB (thinking that as usual no one would dare
get in his way) only to be smashed into the next century by me (I was
215lbs and benching over 300lbs at the time - no steroids of course) and
the QB slides for a huge 1 and only first down! We lost 45 nil but we
did get a first down :)

  PS - clothesline tackles are for wimps, I always prefered colapsing
rib cages with a good ole line drive. That's what helmets are for!

   Dear Retailers,
   We regret to announce that no more Forbes's(TM) can be manufactured
since it has been reported that they have come to life and begun killing
sprees all over the world. This was a design mistake on our part and we
appologise to all effected parties. Soon we will begin production af a
new MAK(TM) model that has a head that wobbles freely from side to side
about 20 degrees off centre. And we think that this will be the most
realistic model released to date, especially with all much needed aids
enabled. Once we iron out its dendancies to argue with the former
Forbes(TM) models they will be ready to ship.

      Yours sincerly

    Byron Forbes - Maker of Forbes's(TM) and soon the MAK(TM)

   PS - how did this stuff make SRN? Not much going on out there is
there? Then again..........

 Typical isnt it......Manufacturers replacing a defective producted that
does have its good points with an even more defective product that will
never be any good to anybody.
