Zap The Scammers & Spammers

Posted by A65Bill <iframe src='https://members5.boardhost.com/classicbikemart/info/user=A65Bill' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on December 13, 2024, 9:47 am

I am delighted to confirm that the Boardhost Team have completed all their security checks and I now have full control of the IKBA board.
The latest offender has been unceremoniously zapped.
If you spot any more before I see them please send me a <Private Message> via the link at the top.
Big thanks and praise to the Boardhost Team for very thoroughly dealing with my request to carry on Martin's Snippery.

I understand what you are saying Simon but we need this site to be lively. Think of it as a bunch of biking mates chatting in the pub it wouldn't be just bikes. Just my opinion.

Yes, I agree Jerry, just need to self-moderate & avoid bottle being thrown (Real Men drink draught?) and blood being spilled?
Some mention of politics is necessary when the idiots tread on our territory, or when it raises a laugh?

Yes, let's avoid the politics - there's other places for that. We don't need the mood downers it creates.
Watch out for racism and religious stuff, too, some of us are proudly mixed race etc.
In short, keep it positive?

I tried that "positive" thing on my wife.

Told her "I appreciate you. You don't sweat much for a fat lady."

Didn't seem to work, though.

If all non bike related 'nonsense' gets snipped, there would be very few posts on the board

I agree, what I'm saying is avoid the downers.
A mate of mine phones me when he's angry with Gov politicians etc, because it only take me a few minutes to get him to see the funny side of things we can't do anything about.
My own County Council came out of a split of a bust authority, with the same jokers voted in again. When they tried to hold their first meeting, they found they didn't have anywhere to get together - the massive new £multi millions HQ is now in the other half of the county! If that doesn't raise a laugh...

I'm glad you've got the snippers at the ready. You never know when that scammer who tried to con us BSA made a CB500 might return

The ones that need snipping the worst are those Indian scammers trying to pass off a Mahindra as a BSA.

If that CB500 hadn't been an honorary BSA for the night, I'd still be wandering the Liverpool docks!

Fair play Lannis, the Rescuer was the Dock Security Manager, the Judy with the Hi-vis & nimble fingers for wiring in the dark & wet!
I'll never forget her response to finding the starter pack wasn't there - straight on the Security Radio link to all staff.
"Who's robbed the f* battery pack? I need it for a Yank what's just come off the IOM banana boat! Over."
"Terry's took it home, his batteries knackered & he's on earlies. Over"
"Well you'd better ring him & tell him I want it back or I'll ring his f* neck. Out"
Back at the bike, looking at the wiring, she expanded our perception of her skills.
"Eh Lar, who the f* wired this?"
Fearful that she might think it was I, I observed,
"You seem to know exactly what you are doing?"
"Yeah, me dad and me brothers are all gobshites, no f* use. There it's done."
Poor girl was soaked, rain running off her head and down inside the hi-vis, but all she wanted was to see our American visitor happy with Liverpool - that's what we are like.
Then someone else's headlight failed, so I kitted him out with a head LED strapped to his helmet - better than the proper 6V proper light. Sure as eggs is eggs, the Bizzies pulled us over to see what a gang of bikes were doing off the main drag & why a bike in the middle had no headlight.
Satisfied that I was a Scouser, therefore trusted and escorting a bunch of aliens away from the City the parting words were issued,
"Go'ed, bugger off. Daft buggers riding to Debyshire in this. Have a good time!"
Bikes? It's the memories and the people who make them!

Well done Bill - I am sure that you are sensible enough to wield the snippers where necessary.

Posts do tend to drift a bit more than they used to, but as I think Jerry said these days this more like a load of blokes chatting down the pub.

I also think that for those that cannot get out as much as they used to provides some entertainment.

Talking of which, has anyone else tried Adnams' Ghost Ship 0.5% beer. Half the price, half the calories and all the taste of decent beer. No hangover!

It's all I drink at home except the odd wine and very occasional real beer. I save my pennies for the pub ale whose taste can never be matched in can or bottle.

Yorkshire tea for me and no beer. A visit to Yorkshire is not complete without visiting the tea plantations so i am told. Never found them myself but they must be out there.

Ghost Ship is OK but for alcohol free my choice is Guinness zero = much better than I expected!

Well, I'm glad that you're over the dark weather gloomies for a bit, and we can wander off the old bikes topic onto other interesting subjects without needing the snippers!

There was me thinking that a Spammer was simply a purveyor of Spam. Oi loiks Spam sarnies. They is very nice.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

I make Spam fritters with my chips. Spicey batter, naturellement.
Called in 'spoons the other week, 2nd time in 3 years & had a pint of decent ale for £1.79!

Spam broiled with a bit of brown sugar and topped with pineapple is my favorite. The national cuisine of Hawaii as a matter of fact.

My uncle was an aircraft fitter in WWII. Sometimes Spam was the only thing in the mess hall.
