No, I don't know at all. My little name change as you put it is neither here or there and you exaggerate it into some kind of conspiracy theory. I'm not trying to be somebody else or something that I am not.
In the early days of SN I used my full name as my user name, this turned out not to be the wisest thing to do for obvious reasons. You don't reveal your full name do you?
If you reveal your full name right here right now I will reveal mine, no skin off my nose.
Loads of the old crew know my full name anyway ie Zip, John Banks, Lisawrx, Swati, AliB, Maz , Einstein RA to name but a few.
I'm not trying to be somebody I am not and I don't use internet forums to spit out vile, venomous comments from behind the comfort of a keyboard.

Certainly has gone south these past few weeks. I think the constant heat has people on edge, along with tempers already being short.
I just get on with things, though you can tell it's going to be one of those days, i can almost feel it in the air at times.
I just turn my music player up and say **** it, can't get upset at what i can't hear
I wonder what the cut off will be, or will society just keep on getting progressively worse.
I was out shopping, and some old guy tried pushing my trolley along whilst i was loading the stuff on the belt.
I told him to wait his turn, stupid old man just stared at me with a blank face like i was in the wrong wtf?!
Some people just don't have any manners nowadays.

Hux; it was getting that way as we left. Smiley faces on the beach, angry ones anywhere else.
It's lovely down here; no pompous, overpaid public sector working dicks from the City to worry about either. Just chilled out locals, stunning coast and mountains and some great waves; only really missing the dog and the M135i!

It happens on an almost daily basis at work, where people don't read things properly, then try anything to pass the blame, instead of just simply admitting they made a mistake. Happens on the roads a lot too, and I'm not even on the road much, considering I don't drive.

Oh and Ding I consider some of your comments to be misogynistic or borderline homophobic and find them pretty awful, I just don't go on a crusade about it and indulge in amateur psychology about your personality as a result

This really bugs me. Not the trolley bit particularly, the general passing the buck so to speak. It seems to be very common these days for people in the wrong, to somehow try to turn things around and place blame on the innocent party.

I ran on and on my return, saw the dog going for another hound. I spotted the owner and asked her if that was the same dog that attacked me; she said it was then blamed me for "being aggressive;" like you can actually run aggressively across a beach?! I was left dumbstruck as to how not only was there no apology but somehow it was my fault!!
A blame culture mixed with a more and more insular society. That's also getting thicker.

It's gotten to the point where i sit in the slow lane, and stick cruise on 59. Faster than the lorries, but slow enough that i can pootle along and not bother the fast lane bunch, who don't give an inch for anyone.
As for the above, im the sort who puts their hands up when at fault, i see no sense in lying and im capable of accepting fault.
Only now others see that as reason to blame me for things i haven't done, like i can be used as some sort of punch bag.
Naturally said people get told where to go, but still it's really pathetic how people have become this past year or so.
If im honest i barely speak to anyone, not out of ignorance just society is going nuts, and i refuse to be dragged down with them.

The car has got to be one of me favourites, when someone cuts you up or thinks that they have priority over you from a side road then gives you s**t.
There is a road near my mum and dads that has a narrowing and priority is given to one side over the other, you know how it works.
There is a side street just before the narrowing on the side that has priority and when you are approaching said narrowing cars will pop out from the side street and think they have the right of way . This is not the case, if you are on a side street you can not interfere with any one on a road major to yours.

A while ago I was out for a run on out local beach; a dog ran up behind me and tried to attack. Knowing dogs well, I didn't let it and was about to kick it when it gave up.
I ran on and on my return, saw the dog going for another hound. I spotted the owner and asked her if that was the same dog that attacked me; she said it was then blamed me for "being aggressive;" like you can actually run aggressively across a beach?! I was left dumbstruck as to how not only was there no apology but somehow it was my fault!!

I have become pretty anti social really because people just do my head in so much day to day, I'm quite happy to just stay out of the way of people when I don't have to bother going anywhere.

Well one day we shall see who is right, but that is for another day!

John Thomas isn't anything like what you say he is.
(Sorry Ding, I've just given your full name away....

I once knew a old couple that had about 20ish cats not to mention all the other animals, about 100 all told I would imagine.

3 is about the maximum I would personally have, but I know people with 5 or 6... a lot depends on where you live and the size of your property etc.
I am also very interested in big cats especially tigers and do donate what I can to some tiger charities as they are seriously endangered in the wild right now (the tigers not the charities)

Just 2 at the moment, but one of them is getting on so I may get another 2 when he passes away... circumstances permitting.

Oh, f1_fan I've just remembered something that you may like me for, sorry 
On my farm I used to rescue cats to help control the vermin, it saves using poison and provides a home for the cats. For the most part they used to live wild on the farm and I would just feed them and take care of the veterinary needs.
I should point out, I didn't mislead a cattery and say that the cat would be a house cat and a pet, just problem cats that otherwise would have been put to sleep.

Yes a friend of mine does the same, he has about 20 cats up on his farm and like you say they get a home and keep the vermin under control. He gets his from the local animal sanctuary when they get a cat that is a bit too wild to be a house pet.
The cats get a great life and he has no more rat problems... it's a win win
