A warning to PPUK posters...

So be nice... or else.

Mr Bazzoni said Mr Jones' "terrifying ordeal" was a consequence of "upsetting somebody he had never even met".

"The dangers of giving personal information out in a chatroom environment must never be underestimated."

It often crosses my mind the danger people on here place themselves when they show pictures of their house on an internet site that includes their name in the address and pictures of themselves and others.
I think everyone should go to a people/address/telephone number finding website and type in their name.
(or other member of your family)
In most cases all your details will appear giving details of your address, all telephone numbers, your neighbours, even a map to find you.
I wish you would all try it to see what I mean.

There are dozens more.

The problem is that in my experience it doesn't require anyone to DO anything particular to attract a nutter.
Just the fact that the nutter dislikes your wealth, envies your clothes or your house or fancies the picture of your wife or dislikes the way you write.

In the case of Bazzoni vs Jones one nutter appears to have been attracted by the other nutter.

When you run a Bed & Breakfast from your home it's quite useful if zillions of people can see pictures of your house, your garden, your bedrooms, even your lavatory. And then if they know your name and address and telephone number and e-mail address, it kind of tends to encourage trade.

Neither Bazzoni nor Jones have asked to stay the night, yet.

But I might... be afraid. Be very afraid.

You know how much I can drink...

I add - Mrs Biff is lovely, don't be put off by Mr Biff, and a weekend at the Vernon's B and B sounds absolutely idyllic... just don't bring up double glazing or nuclear power.

We don't use nuclear power but all our windows are double glazed, except for one old one on the back stair that the 1960s missed and a couple of stained glass windows in the hall, partly held together with sellotape.

 

[Penners]

We don't use nuclear power

Unless you're independent of the National Grid, I rather suspect that you might...

 

[Nemesis]

We forgive the DG as what you replaced was an offence under the Heritage Police Act.

 

[biffvernon]

OK Penners, so one electron looks pretty much like the next but we pay our bill to Ecotricity, and here's a picture of their power station just down the road:

Thought that was your garden!!!!!

Nice kind man :wink:

The council refused me permission to extend, so in a fit of planning-rage I installed a cruise missile poking 20ft up out of the roof. So anyone can find me quite easy...

This fight is not so different to the fights that broke out on site in the past. Why do you think so many suffolk houses are painted with blood pigment paint? It was all the disagreements that broke out over who won on the rendering. I guess the winner of the fight rendered the loser...

Yes I know they say its pigs blood, but we know really

Well, yes - we have a similar "green power" arrangement, but I confess that I'm sceptical. Surely the fundamental principle of the National Grid is that everywhere is connected to everywhere else.

So - if the organic tomato soup and the GM tomato soup has all been poured into the same tureen, how do you know which you're drinking?

 

[biffvernon]

As I said, one electron looks pretty much like the next. Tomatoes are a different kettle of fish. Organic ones will sustain you with their balanced life enhancing aura while the GM ones will turn you into a glob of stinking slime.

When you pay your electricity bill to Ecotricity the profit is invested in building more windfarms. If you pay British Energy, probably via one of the several distribution companies, the money is divided between shareholder dividends and stopping up the cracks in old nuclear power staions. Actually dividend prospects to British Energy shareholders are not looking too good and consequently their share price has dropped by 38% since August 16th when it was announced that production goals might not be reached.

Ah, that must be where I went wrong.

BTW wouldnt their aura reflect severe distress after being pureed in a blender and cooked for a while? I feel sure it would dent my aura anyway.

I've had a riffle through their website. I'm familiar with the turbine at Swaffham, but didn't know it was theirs.

The website doesn't make it clear whether they are a not-for-profit company. Do they have shareholders, or not?

 

[biffvernon]

No, I don't think it's a plc, just Dale Vince's baby (with some help from Triodos Bank and the Co-op). A couple of years old now but here's a helpful article about Dale from the Guardian.

................. I think they call them red snappers !

Tried them both, first one came up with nothing. Second one came up with out of date listings from the electrol role and directory enquires. Since moving with have gone ex-directory and removed from the edited version of the electoral role. So even smart old computers are not all that smart.

 

[biffvernon]

I'm relieved that they both find me, in various guises, and repeatedly. Ah, fame. 8)
