Doxxing    no, was just jogging the memory but it's fine. Mods, take that reference out if Tony deems it poor show.

I didn't see an agenda in Sam's reply, just a bit of banter.

Either way, the finer details of the PNDP and PNDwhatever are probably lost on lot of us. FFS I couldn't even remember what "cragx" is.

You came across as a "man in the know" so I guess Sam thought you might be able to quickly give some additional insight into the process.

I'm still a loss as to where the additional funding might come from. Jamie's link gives some idea but 

I'm only vaguely interested as it's a bridge I've never used, in a county I've never been to and not in a rush to visit, but it still would probably help people understand the process and, you know, maybe consider donating more...

Another thought - if you think there’s a chance you’re still infectious maybe wear a mask.

what's your f*cking agenda?

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

just answer the f*cking question!

I did, in any case, answer the original question and received not a hint of gratitude from the questioner. Instead they posted another (inane) question, which was asked with an agenda for which I do not care. I still provided the solution to that.


You appeal for courtesy on an internet forum whilst you swear at me and name individuals with whom you believe I associate (doxing)? Don’t write to me about unpleasantness.

do you get the point of internet forums like this.

A common dictionary definition of “forum” is:

a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

Ideas and views are not facts.

If you want facts, try a search engine and choosing reputable sources. Then, if you can’t find the information, ask others. You’re not a child - and even if you were - don’t be so lazy.

We've met once in real life Tony (as far as I'm aware) with Smally and others at the pub up the pass. You seemed alright. We've got plenty of mates in common, never heard you being called a total cunt. So why are you one on here?

I don't understand what you get out of it?

The thing is, we love a sharp put-down every once in a while, when people deserve it or are getting above their station. But it's mainly in jest, and mainly amongst people that know each other and have some history so it can be taken in the manner in which it's intended.

But what's your fucking agenda? Trying to get the site to die a death by making it an unpleasant place?

You know....if someone asks a question you find "lazy and easily searchable" in response to a post you have written, you can just ignore it...they're not holding you at gun point, but instead you just post weird non-answers and pointless personal attacks. You have the time to do that, but not the time to ... you know ... just answer the fucking question!

I am by no means an expert on this! But this BBC article (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-68084372) suggests the shortfall could be made up by something called the 'Farming in Protected Landscapes fund',  https://www.gov.uk/guidance/funding-for-farmers-in-protected-landscapes  which by the looks of it is a government scheme for areas of oustanding natural beauty. I assume there are other similar schemes that could potentially be applied to as well.

It is not generally in my nature to reward sloth but…

FFS Tony.. do you get the point of internet forums like this.  The point is that you can ask a question, and due to the high numbers of users/posters, there is the likelyhood that there is someone out there that knows the answer off the top of their head, cause they're an expert or closely involved or what ever. And in lovely places like UKb, there will be a good bit of banter/humour involved along the way.

Yes I could go and google everthing I ever wanted to know, on my own, waste hours of time sifting through the intenet for the answers.

However, UKb is flipping amazing, cause on the whole, it tends be occupied with likeminded erredites who are helpful and forthcomeing.  I try to do my bit when I see something that I have knowledge of and chip in where appropriate.

However, I'm getting increasingly apathetic about coming on here, and self proclaimed trolls/wind up merchants like yourself Tony really don't help.  The more people that get pissed off with wind up merchants like yourself and lose interest and stop coming on here, the more it becomes a less useful place to come and ask questions and so it just spirals down.

I guess its in your nature to wind folks up.  Well you can go away now feeling all cosy with a warm glow, knowing you've wound someone up.  Pathetic really.  Have a good look at yourself in the mirror Tony.  Like what you see??

And note, I'll not be biting back at any maggots you dangle in the hope of a rise so don't waste your time.

That's tough. I have always (well, twice) waited until it feels like my heartrate is back to normal before thinking about any strenuous exercise.

Hope the day goes OK.
