Barry; your grand unveiling tomorrow only really works if I know what you look like. Nothing to hide, remember? You're hiding.

It's good to see you finally admit it mate. FWIW, I have petitioned for you to come back under your dune username loads. I hope the mods see sense, because this is ridiculous. You can post as frequently as you like on whether I'm responding to your questions, but on the only one that matters, the one that pertains to identity, you've bricked it - and everyone knows it. Really looking forward to tomorrow matey. You non-appearance should give you ample justification to write another 50 or so posts. @papingu - Twitter There's me, and there are at least 5 people on this board who can confirm it. Do reciprocate with Barry "nothing to hide" Sanchez, dune.

Your wife is imaginary.

Your wife is imaginary.

Ah dune, bless ya. I know it must have been hell for you these last few hours; you've said something and you haven't got an immediate response. Why not go and play with your wife for a bit? It must be better than spending pretty much your entire Friday on here. For a man who has nothing to hide, you seem extremely reluctant to put up your Facebook details, love.

How else would I know what you looked like? Earlier you said you had nothing to hide. Why is the Facebook thing a problem?

Alright then mucker. Given that this is all about identity, put your money where your mouth is. Facebook page, ta. Happy to do the same . We can then close off this little charade tomorrow in the Arkles. Any other people going to the game tomorrow? Want to meet "Barry" in the Arkles? Someone who also knows dune would be good.

dune, just fess up. It'll go so much easier if you just 'fess up. It was an admirable plan, worthy of any seven year old super-villain. But look at what you've reduced yourself to. Pretending to be in Liverpool, pretending to be a left winger. It's like watching a scrum half go out on the town and teeter across cobblestones in six-inch stilettos. This must be personally humiliating for you. Your little bit at the end; about whether someone has made it or not based on their post count is beautiful. If we take your current post rate and extrapolate it six years ( same time as my humble tenure ), you'll be on 26K posts. I know that's a bit of projection, but it's really the best we can do. You'll probably be banned before then. Going by your own standards, and your own "crappy" definition of "made it", my relatively low yield of 4.6K posts must mean I've made it around 5 times better than you! Wanna try that one again? x

"..he asked, touching himself." Excerpt from 50 shades of dune.

Gentlemen. Start your engines.

Got a mate who went to school with him. He was not a fan. That said, not worth judging anyone solely on what they were like at school. I think the TV appearances helped.

dune was a wonderfully limited poster who could talk at short length about any subject; as long as you had no pre-conceptions about getting accurate information. He perpetually provoked without any real conviction, started threads willy-nilly in the insane belief that the number of views was somehow self-validating. You could almost say he structured his entire life around antagonising people on the Internet, SaintsWeb in particular. Fair play to him; he stated his agenda clearly; wind the intelligent people up. Unfortunately, dune always came short in any jousts. The odd thing is, I think he's clever - in a rat-like, scurrying, sneering type of way. That is about the extent of my respect, although there is possibly one more sunbeam in this otherwise cloudy sky. While many pictured dune in their minds as a fat bald loser with zero chick potential, my mental image of him was always of Catwoman from 1960s Batman - causing a lot of trouble and then hissing in the background while real people did the work. It's a more elegant view.

WG, my grandad and I argue like f**k. He loves it. He will purposefully wind me up to get a reaction. He hates my long hair and frequently tells me I don't look like a professional businessman.

There's just one more thing....

What if I like my knickers in a twist? What if it's strangely liberating?

bletch, I'd like to make Whitey Grandad SaintsWeb's official grandad. I argue with him about as much I do my own grandad. If I were to propose it in Site Suggestions, would you second it? I know it'd be nice to get a left-wing grandad, but in truth, there are very few of them about on TSW.

Here's how it's done, people. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/08/top-economists-iceland-did-it-right-everyone-else-is-doing-it-wrong.html

Got a measure of agreement with this, Sergei. Massive waste of resources in the midst of world hunger problems. But again, you can point to the priorities of capitalism as a large factor. Do you think that land would have remained inert if priority number one was feeding people? Going back to my supermarket supply chain analogy, the whole enterprise is a bit of a punt, especially when you get away from the essentials. Food suppliers are essentially gambling on what we might like to eat. They can detect that with some accuracy, but a load of stuff, especially fresh stuff, goes to waste. Can't help feeling we'd get a lot more bang for our planet if food production were more discrete and less of an estimate.

Jamie Oliver ran a large campaign against Bernard Matthew's Turkey Twizzlers. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-342395/The-truth-Turkey-Twizzlers.html As cheaply as possible almost led to the collapse of the business. http://www.theecologist.org/green_green_living/behind_the_label/1171257/whats_the_real_cost_of_bernard_matthews_christmas_turkey.html Most professionals have cut a corner or two to get something completed quickly. I can live with that, but not really within the food chain. Cost cutting practices are another little evil of capitalism.
