mjbaron: Sooooooo, Does anyone know anything about…errrmmmm…Who was it again, hold on, i’ll just troll through the pages to where the topic skewed off into a rant about Magazine’s, Newspaper’s and being taken to the cleaner’s for making up a few story’s for the sake of having a say. Yawwwwwn
It says you’ve been here since 2009 but the contents of this post conflict with that. Quite the conundrum.
I agree though stamp on it now or next thing you know every other thread will be drifting into Stobart bashing.
Interesting choice of words. Ballroom dancing bores me incredibly. I don’t watch it.
Sift would have been a better choice of words i agree, I prefer leave the endless winding up and general codswallop talking to the regular nonsense talkers, just now again offer up an opinion or two.

I also suggest that folks realise we can trace the IP addresses
Well I suggest that IP addresses mean diddly squat.
It’s easy to spot the non-techy people on the internet, as they always use the ‘we can trace your IP address’ as some sort of big stick to threaten people with.
IP addresses can easily be changed, spoofed and hidden by using TOR, a VPN such as ProXPN.
Anyway, an IP address identifies the machine, and NOT the person and with IPv6, the machine can be a printer, blu-ray player, or even a TV…so good luck with that!

Except when the IP address resolves to a companies own ISP and that corresponds to their e-mail address, it would take a bit of effort to do, and hardly worth it for a post on a small internet forum don’t you think, far more likely the person in question didn’t think we would check
Even funnier is the guys who argue with themselves on here using their PC and mobile devices as two characters, then get confused about which “person” is on which device

Wow! Really? I’d like to wish those folk that do that a happy retirement in a nice padded cell somewhere.
On the subject of magazines, having just read the over-generalised hatchet job on drivers in this week’s Commercial Motor I can say that they have just lost a subscriber.
RE Shobba I remember the one he done about if your truck was doing 70 MPH the English driver says id slow down I want the hours the Scottish driver says id slow down because off the diesel it was using and the Irish driver says id get the fitter to look at it cause it normally does 80 mph!

It’s a good job mainstream media doesn’t take the trade press approach and only serve one group, advertisers. Truck & Driver can have driver in its title as much as it likes, as I see it it does nothing for drivers. Like I say, they are all just promotional tools for companies. And before anyone says about mainstream media not having to worry about losing advertisers, most of the newspapers are losing money hand over fist. Doesn’t stop them engaging in proper investigative journalism.
totaly agree with that,youve only got to look at the front cover blinb bling blimg i mean this months got got a big spread about david g davis n some 26 year old piloting there new xf 106 this isinot about real haulage its crap the truck is all blinged up n looks good in a magazine i can name at least four hauliers that have had centre page spreads in t n d n are now all dead n burried all flash n no cash
pleasedont think im knocking people with well turned out moters because i aint what im saying is t n d focuses on a small minority of transport companys the ones that fit the profile imho
i think the problem is its full of journos running the show n not truckers if only they could take a leaf out of top gears book

After his graduation he worked for several radio stations, including Radio Cleveland, Radio York, Radio ■■■■■■■■ Radio Leeds, Radio Newcastle and Radio Lancashire, before auditioning for Top Gear.
Hammond became a presenter on Top Gear in 2002, when the show began in its present format.
A keen flautist and pianist, he studied music at Pendle College, Lancaster University. After graduating, May briefly worked at a hospital in Chelsea as a records officer, and had a short stint in the civil service
Journalism. During the early 1980s, James May worked as a sub-editor for The Engineer and later Autocar magazine, from which he was dismissed for performing a prank. May first co-presented Top Gear in 1999, before it was axed by the BBC because of poor viewing figures. He rejoined the show in the second series of the present Top Gear format in 2003,
Great journalism there, your copy and pasting is amazing, at least dish out some credit or is that what the job has come down to …
