Other left field posters 10:54 - Feb 14 with 3681 views | nrb1985 | After the events of the recent days, I'm reminded of some other posters people perceived to be "wind up merchants" - as such, whatever happened to the chap who claimed to have gone to Boro away on a mo ped?! I recall he then had a made up job as a deep sea fisherman or similar?! Mad as a box of frogs but good entertainment. [Post edited 14 Feb 10:54]

Other left field posters on 10:58 - Feb 14 with 2610 views | Heathlander | That was Fergal Sharkey. There was a go fund set up to pay for his moped. Turned out it was nonsense. The fund was generously given to me for a project in Moldova to provide schools with decent bathrooms. Was a great story though. | | | |

Hahaha brilliant. Genuinely lol'd at that. Wasn't he also maintaining he was a fisherman off the coast of Africa at one point also? TWTD really is a "broad church". | | | |

I'm pretty sure it was Fergal who also planned to do a cycle ride from north to south africa. A distance of about 7000 miles through some of the most difficult routes on the planet, that he was confident he'd be able to do in two weeks flat. | |

How so? Nobody goes to church anymore. He probably has a congregation of about 10 middle aged cat ladies. | |

I think clegymen tend to do a lot more these days by way of community work -"reaching out" is the jargon of the day I believe. | |

Wierd post, I don’t see that anyone has called Frimley a liar. | |

The only other names put forward were liars. Pretty sure the op didn't mean it that way, but that's how it read to me. | | | |

as mentioned above, definitely not how I intended it to come across. Just meant that there have been a few memorable "off beat" posters over the years. | | | |
