Bring it on dude...the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned but as it's up to Vanny's I thought it proper not to make invitations to........of fuck it, everybody up to Vanny's and trash the placedocchevron1472 wrote:Ooh, sounds ace!

W2G, TOM Looks like a x between Danny Baker and that toss pot ponce Hugh Fearnley Wittingtwat - the poncy chef in dorset, with the exception that he has rather thick true NHS style specs...those big square ones. Discussion of his personality should take place after several pints as heavy humour would apply...
....There he goes, one of God's own prototypes, a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production......too weird too live.....and too rare to die

With the mention of Danny Baker & Victor Meldrew does that infer that TOM actually has a sense of humour then or just for physical reference?

The Danny Baker and HF-W is purely a physical combo representation. I didn't spend long enough to find out if he had a sense of humour although I distinctly remember alot of anal talk about cars and his usual style of playing 'the dictator'.
My purpose for visiting him was to pick some speedlines which he offered FOC...so I asked what he and his wife drank so that I could donate accordingly but he was really adamant that anything would be refused....
At his local - The Dolphin if my memory serves me well, I got a round in for him and DLM trying to ensure I just didn't 'steal' his wheels. He finished the 1st pint and I hadn't noticed cos I was being talked at about interior trim or wheel trim or Tim Trim.....all of a sudden he (TOM) flung down a twenty on the table and said summat like 'I'll pay, someone else can order'.......fuck knows if it was a dig at me for not offering a 2nd pint soon enough but it was kinda typical of how we'd know him from BXC...TBH it was bloody embarrasing.....

Bingo, bulls-eye, and spot on the money there. Tom suffers from Small-man syndrome like you wouldn't believe. Agree with him and there's no problem. Disagree with him and rather than being able to have a reasoned argument, he just becomes aggressively rude.Way2go wrote:I continually get the impression that he only likes people who hang on his every word and make the appropriate noises, but if you don't kiss ass....................
After the way he's treated me and others, I wouldn't cross the road to piss on him if he was on fire.
While we're on the subject, I hope I'm not coming across as aggressive at all on the BXC "mechanical aptitude" thread, as that's not what I intend at all. It's been a bit of a bug-bear of mine when people refer to "suction lines" in Hydraulic or Aircon systems, so I might be being a tad more forceful than needed.

Good observation mate...although I have only met him the once, it would seem rather true. Although I have not a bad word to say about DLM, he struck me as rather quiet and it would seem that he is well suited to TOMs company in that sense. Shame, cos I think DLM was a decent fella...Way2go wrote:I continually get the impression that he only likes people who hang on his every word and make the appropriate noises, but if you don't kiss ass....................

I think DLM has memory issue's. He'll start a conversation, then just stop mis sentence, and start again after a pause taking a totally different tack.. Very odd, but yes, lovely fella.

Oh God I forgot that...it was surreal talking to him...i kept thinking I'd missed his point and waiting ages for him to continue....docchevron1472 wrote:I think DLM has memory issue's.

I'd cross the road if he was on fire. And chuck a few quid's worth of four star over the cunt. He really is an obnoxious old twat.David wrote:Way2go wrote:
