It's Holmes, he's too fucking stupid to draw breath without step-by-step
instructions.
Ask him to tell you about his brilliant defence strategy for numerous
speeding tickets some time.

Yes, well, as if that's ever going to happen, when holmes can't even
find out how to get a hotmail address.
Anyway, do ask him sometime about his "brilliant defence" against
speeding tickets. He's assured lots of people that he's an expert at
avoiding paying speeding tickets.
Mind you, when analysed his technique seemed to consist of "put the
letter under the mat and ignore it".

Yes, but Holmes started off claiming that he had fought many speeding
cases in court and had won in over 15 cases. When he was pressed to give
details of his defence (which he claimed relied upon him picking on
technical flaws in the design and operation of speed cameras) he
admitted that it consisted of "ignore the NIP". Then he offered to show
the evidence to anyone who as interested in meeting him. A meeting was
arranged. Holmes was a no-show.
He's a flake.
Oh and then to make the whole thing really laughable he started to post
to uk.legal.moderated asking if anyone could explain to him how speed
cameras worked. This was *after* his claim to be able to get speeding
fines dismissed based on his technical wizardry.

gmx is very unreliable IME. Plenty of disconnects for no reason, failing
to check mail and random other errors. Hotmail doesn't have the
reliability problems but their spam filters are less use than a chocolate
teapot. The best one IMO, and I've been using it for more than 10 years
without problem is yahoo.co.uk.

Please remember to mention me / in tapes you leave behind.
Not really but I suspect an underlying truth which is why I gave up
accepting invitations to address English writers' circles in the wasted
days when I dabbled in writing.
Much the same with newsgroups which makes the study of group
dynamics so fascinating and why research in GD is enjoying having huge
budgets thrown at it. The recent spate of arrests around Manchester are
the fruits of much of that. English-based newsgroups seem to have a
group dynamic aversion to self-promotion. American dominated newsgroups
seem to accept it.
I've known English-dominated activities that have such an aversion to
facets of normal behaviour that they actually proclaim: 'We are a
non-profit-making organisation'. An almost unheard of phrase in America.
Likewise the English sign that customers are unwelcome is commonplace in
England (there was one quite close to me in a public house car park that
said: 'No coaches').
That pub has recently gone bust.
The English seem to love failure. I certainly love roadhouse pub
failures because I belong to an investment circle that prosper because
it's run by some smart bonus belt chaps who've realised that roadhouse
pubs are sitting on large brown sites. They're ripe to demolish and the
development of des resis. Follett Close in Bognor Regis being a good
example.

Your ignorance is astonishing. There are over 1.5 million non-profit
organizations in the US.
Sorry, old son, but you're wrong, as usual, and I'm all right, Jack, as
usual.

Not organizations? Wow! So the IRS has a term for it! Wonderful. I'll

Really? 'We are a non-profit-making organis(z)ation' is such a bald
term, elegant in its simplicity and the directness of its message apart
from Noah's spelling that not even I, used to huddled masses of muddled
thinkers, would expect it to cause panic and confusion.
Ah, the English hatred of success that can guarantee a GD blizzard of
flaktoids!
Cheers all!

You don't need any group dynamics bollocks for this one.
The British have an aversion to self-promotion.
The Americans don't.
Your point is?

There are at least two possible sound business reasons for this.
One is that keeping the regulars sweet may well generate more income
than the occasional coach stopping. If my local were liable to have
a coachload of strangers descend on it, I'd find another local.
The other is that they simply may not have the staff or facilities to
cope with a coachload - all that would happen would be that there'd
be 40 or 50 people people spreading the word about how awful that
pub is, and a driver who would never stop there again anyway.
People report *bad* experiences far more widely than they report
*good* experiences, for some reason, and a pub can take *years* to
shake off a bad reputation.

So, err, seeing as you just posted "'non-profit-making organisation'. An
almost unheard of phrase in America", what category do you fall into?
It's not even like American non-profits are obscure: foundations like
the Ford, the Rockefeller and now the B&M Gates are well-known major
institutions with vast staffs and budgets.

Three if you include being fed up with coachloads of people trooping in
to use the bogs then out again without buying anything.
What you describe are unsound business reasons that underpin the hatred
of the English of success. I've seen these dour so-called regulars
sitting in pubs. Miserable characters that regard the pub as their own.
Micro Group Dynamics going about its grim business. Dirty raincoats,
drooping moustaches flecked with Guinness froth, woodbine ash in their
hair, whiskers sprouting from facial warts. And the blokes are just as
bad.
Their whole demeanour is 'this business must not succeed' and guess
what? Thankfully very often they don't succeed especially in Bonus Belt
England that I live in. Failed shops are too small and too few but big
pubs on plum brown field sites have gone tango-uniform by the score over
the last two years. At the moment the investment group I belong to are
eyeing the boarded-up and imaginatively-named Red Lion in Milford. It's
possible to get twelve houses on that site. Tell the Office of the
Deputy Prime Minister (now run by first class treasury chappies) that
the houses are low carbon thumbprint and eco-friendly and send in
glowing CABE access statements (written by guess who) that press all
the right climate change baloney buttons and planning consent that road
rolls local planning authority objections into the ground is guaranteed.
The objections of local puffingtons are doomed to failure because the
English love failure.

Of course they won't cope! To succeed they would have to practise good
planning and other sensible management techniques that fly in the face
of the English love of failure. They mustn't succeed otherwise there
wouldn't be steady supply of brown site failed pubs just waiting to be
plucked off the tree of opportunity. If you want to succeed, learn about
CABE reports and batten onto the English love of failure.
Mr Leahy and his Tesco barn managers know a thing or three about pouring
huge quantities of cheap beer down willing English necks. Lots of TV
advertising pushing cheap lager; don't discourage customers with 'no
cars' signs in their car parks or no 'customers not wanted here' signs.
Treat all customers as potential regulars and the chances are they'll
become them. They might even join customer clubs and willingly shell out
for cellphone contracts at exorbitant rates. Luckily for us pub sites
are generally too small to attract the Leahy lads.

All the pubs in this part of the bonus belt don't have years. Lucky if
they've got weeks. The local Winterton Arms (one hectare -- about 20
houses) is defying economic gravity at the moment. First sign of a pub's
impending failure is the sign that says: 'Morning Coffee Now Being
Served'. It never seems to occur to them that if there's a demand for
coffee in the morning, then there might be a demand in the evening.
Afterall, I've yet to see a sign that says: 'Evening Beer Now Being
Served.'

Avoid using terms like 'us' and 'we' as ego props. Never fall into the
cosy little world of group dynamics behaviour because the scale of this
newsgroup is too small according to the Wilfred Bion rule to accommodate
reliable or influential facilitators, although I think I may have
identified one.
Never be afraid of your own opinions and never look to others in the
hope that they'll support you because very often such support may not be
forthcoming. The only person you can rely on is yourself. Have faith in
yourself. Be prepared to question the questionable and to ridicule the
ridiculous.
All you're doing with your comment about doing 'us' a favour is
demonstrating your willingness to embrace invalidation despite it being
kicked into the long grass as a weak debating tool by Socrates over 500
years ago.

Good to see you and your investment group on top of things.
Good to see that weary world wide web warriors still have a naive,
touching belief in the lustreless nuggets of out-of-date information
that their sad ploughing throws up at their feet on occasions.
Anything's better than actually getting out into that big nasty world
and doing some real research by collecting facts and generally rubbing
shoulders with sordid reality. Even I get caught out because I don't
always bother myself with reading minutes.
Minutes of Weald Investments for last Jan (admittedly I didn't attend)
show the member of the group who's a property stringer for Tesco
declared an interest by saying that he had tipped them off in mid-June
2008 after WI said that the price wanted by the freeholder didn't stack
up and that they could stick their sealed bid in a rude place.
Personally I would'n've thought Tesco have any interest in squity little
two hectare brown sites. Pubs just aren't big enough except as
diversionary tactics although there's a mystery over ownership of an
adjoining meadow.
Tesco are hand in glove with CABE who are always willing to piss on
Waverley's toothless tory luddites.
