Was there some sort of flame war in the Bristol to ban diesels thread? I got a 'like' for a post there, and the thread appears to have gone.

Not surprised if so.

Not gone, just only visible to those brave/stupid enough to ask for access to the politics bit.

Where does one perform such a foolish act? I'm asking for a friend...

[loserone]

PM a mod, or just ask pubicly in here.

‘Kinell, what did you do to that thread L1?  

Can I have access, please, mods? 

[loserone]

I used the B word and then inspired* @sierraman to go off on one about reopening the mines.

[sierraman]

I genuinely made that comment as a joke.

I am still convinced your secret informer at No10 leaked the info to you. We will all know the truth when it starts happening...........

Fake news!

After an email and phone call today, I think I'm about to be very busy... getting all my vacuums down from the loft as a bloke from a news agency wants to come and interview me...

Excited and fucking dreading it at the same time!

I'd be very cynical about it.  Why would a journalist want to interview a nut job like you (No offence meant) 

Do you have any editorial control? 

What's in it for you?

Why the utter fuck? How come we can't be trusted to talk about significant policies and decision that affect us driving older cars on a SHITTING CAR FORUM THAT REVOLVES OLDER CAR??

Strewth. I utterly despair at this place at times. ?‍♂️

[loserone]

We can, but since it involved political discussion we can't be trusted to do it in the open without someone invoking the "oi, no politics" rule.  

 

And I mentioned brexit.

Please sir (mods), may I have access to the shouty gammon faced thread?

 

I need something to fill the gaps between work. (TBH work fills in the gaps between reading AS)

Yes and no, I'm not the first collector to be interviewed, but I am going to chat with the last and see if he can offer any pointers

Plus they'll heavily reference my youtube channel which is good as as long as people subscribe I don't care if they laugh at me or not!

Missed this, didn't scroll up after the politics forum posts!

Hopefully plugs for my youtube channel which will translate into ££ for me. Also the same reason I did Go for It, why not! I'm hoping he will go for the mechanical angle more, he joined the main vac group on FB the day I did loads of work and bombarded it with posts about various stuff, so he knows how I roll.

Of course I am being highly cynical that he'll be acting like he cares, which is fine, I do that all the time!

I collect flipping hoover's, I'll take all the publicity I can get!

Although I've just called the guy back, it's a telephone interview tomorrow, then saturday at 2pm is the photoshoot, I need to get the 1933 Hoover 825 in a prominent place next to the 2019 Dyson V11, and find 60/70 others to fill the front room...

Then spend Sunday getting them away again... and do the other things I wanted to do this weekend. If it increases my youtube payment through it all though it'll be worth it as it's not far off being enough every month to buy an car nowadays...

I suppose I’d best go and read that thread if it’s been moved... sounds like fun!

I’ll try and sort access to the “Brexit, Boris, Bristol and Bullshit” section for those who have asked on here. PM me is the best and most likely way to get access.

Yes, my mate mentioned that to me! I'll stick to the nutter with a YouTube channel angle...
