Other left field posters 10:54 - Feb 14 with 5003 views | nrb1985 | After the events of the recent days, I'm reminded of some other posters people perceived to be "wind up merchants" - as such, whatever happened to the chap who claimed to have gone to Boro away on a mo ped?! I recall he then had a made up job as a deep sea fisherman or similar?! Mad as a box of frogs but good entertainment. [Post edited 14 Feb 2024 10:54]

The fund was generously given to me for a project in Moldova to provide schools with decent bathrooms. Was a great story though. |  | |  |

Hahaha brilliant. Genuinely lol'd at that. Wasn't he also maintaining he was a fisherman off the coast of Africa at one point also? TWTD really is a "broad church". |  | |  |

I'm pretty sure it was Fergal who also planned to do a cycle ride from north to south africa. A distance of about 7000 miles through some of the most difficult routes on the planet, that he was confident he'd be able to do in two weeks flat. |  |

Yes, and was a no-show for his rendez-vous in Port Elizabeth with wkj & one or two others from here. Offered various excuses incl 'misunderstandings' re location iirc! |  |

How so? Nobody goes to church anymore. He probably has a congregation of about 10 middle aged cat ladies. |  |

I think clegymen tend to do a lot more these days by way of community work -"reaching out" is the jargon of the day I believe. |  |

Wierd post, I don’t see that anyone has called Frimley a liar. |  |

The only other names put forward were liars. Pretty sure the op didn't mean it that way, but that's how it read to me. |  |

as mentioned above, definitely not how I intended it to come across. Just meant that there have been a few memorable "off beat" posters over the years. |  | |  |
