To squat or not to squat

Happy new year.

If I am indeed one of those obstinate and pig-awkward folk then am I to be universally disliked?

Have a happy new year. My layby lover has gone (retreated?) to bed without inviting me to follow. However, I remain in good company - the Staffordshire's.

The universe is a very big place, no doubt if you searched long enough you`ll probably find someone.

Get over yourself, dislike you? I think it's more that we pity you for the pathetic way you come across.

Seems that Graham H gets some sort of satisfaction from an odd sense of being disliked. He appears to give himself kudos the more disliked he is, almost wanting to be universally so. What a strange man. You are right, Less, he IS pathetic - as well as being obnoxious in his waffling comments.
Still, it takes all sorts to make a world - thank goodness his little world isn't mine!

I know I shouldn’t ask this because he’s sure to tell me and I’m not that certain I really want to know, but here goes - maybe I’m a bit slow at catching on but what IS a layby lover? (As per posting 46 on this thread).
As far as I know a layby is something you use when you can’t afford to buy an item so you stick it on layby, pay if off in instalments and get it when it’s paid for.
Another layby is where vehicles pull in when the driver needs to take a break, and then there’s the nautical one.
But a layby lover??????

You are quite right about only getting one chance of making an impression.
Your impression of me as a bully is risible.
But if you feel intimidated by my posts you know where to find the report button.
You have used it before and doubtless will use it again.
The moderator will then decide if my post constitutes bullying and will act appropriately.

I am always delighted to see new members join Accyweb because I believe it is the best forum bar none.
Lots of new members come and fit in well. They post opinions which give something to the forum.....they give freshness, newness and we very often have a lively discussion.
Since you joined(and forgive me if I haven't read everything you have posted but my life has been hectic of late) your posts have often been scathing, negative and in some instances rude.

That is my opinion, and it goes a long way in determining my impression of you.
In fact in my welcome post to you I asked a question which you answered tersely and quoted forum rules at me

So there you go Graham. The forum is a good place if you are a good poster.
It is not such a good place if you aren't.
I am not the arbiter of what is good. All the forum members are the arbiters...and so far you seem to come up lacking!

Those words appear in the Status Quo song Accident Prone, from the album If You Can't Stand The Heat.

On the forum, much as in life......we get what we give out.
Happy New Year Graham. I hope you survived it and didn't become just a statistic.

Thank heavens for that.
You had me thinking you were into dogging!

Thanks, Margaret. You are so gracious. Have another happy year, along with all the others.

No. I might include that activity among my resolutions, if anyone cares a fig to know that.

Thank you Graham. As long as 2014 does not emulate its predecessor I will be happy.'13' was not good for me.
See, my impression is changing already.

No it isn't you often do Ken Dodd at Christmas, now do Tommy Cooper and make GH disappear.

Over here they're naughty ladies, (often found in laybys) offering gratification in various forms to raging reps & rigid roadsters.
