Well I do indeed suspect he is lying about his mother in law for the reasons I set out in my 10.28 post.
I thought it was because of this. dave1357 btw I suspect talkmadder has invented his mother in law's situation, just have a rant about people on benefits. Been through the thread but cannot find Torques rant. Could you highlight it please. |

So what do you suggest Dave? A freeze on pensions and anyone who has provided for a private pension excluded from the Government one or penalised for it with a reduced amount. Genuine qustion.
|

By:
You denied calling him a liar and your response to this being pointed out as erm untrue is to try and justify it.

dave seems incable of admitting fault or apologising, reminds me of Thatcher.

akabula Suspecting something and definitively saying it are two different things and for the umpteenth time I firstly simply asked him when his m-i-l retired. When he didn't respond I revealed my suspicions. What do you think the chances are that with all the complexities of the pension system, his m-i-l gets exactly the amount that excludes her from a pension income top-up?
re his rant The welfare system is broken, people are punished for working hard and playing it straight, whilst others are rewarded for being feckless, fraudulent or workshy. bigmo the 3% increase is entirely justified and is only an issue because the appalling productivity in the country which means that wages are rising less than this. |

I wouldn't call that a rant. All the truth and not a lie within his statement unlike some other posts.

05 Sep 10 akabula Suspecting something and definitively saying it are two different things Laughable and quite pathetic Dave. You implied he was a liar. As regards whats the odds someone is in that situation I don't know but what I do know is that some will and I have no reason to doubt what Torque says. |
|
By:
I don't deny implying he invented his m-i-l situation at all, but it is hardly abusive as you say in your @ 3.47 - just pointing out a obvious conundrum. As I said its a gambling forum and the relevant odds make it highly unlikely that his post is accurate.

So Dave accuses me of being a liar because the figure of £156 was TOO accurate?
 Even by Dave's low standards that level of desperation is hilarious! I didn't have a clue how much the state pension was until my missus mentioned that her mum wasn't eligible for PC because she was just over the threshold. When I asked how much that was, she replied "£156, I think" hence my statement in my first post of "£156 I think but that might be a pound or two out." It really is incredible how Dave never seems to tire of making a fool of himself in his sheer desperation to have a pop at me, it's absolutely shameless! And all the more laughable as it comes just a few days after claiming he ignored my posts and never enterered into conversation with me at all. What were all those questions about my MIL's age, Dave? Surely you weren't desperately trying to find some tiny error were you? "Aha, people born in 1944 should be getting £157.33 Torquemada. Got you!" Everyone is laughing at you Dave. As if anyone would make anything up about something so mundane. Best you keep to your vow of ignoring me in future mate, or better yet use the BLOCK function. Blocking yourself would be a good move, on the basis of your recent form you're your own worst enemy! |

Try to reign in your tantrums and not to get too abusive in your reply, Dave, I'd at least like to see it this time!
|
|
By:
Most people would see an accurate figure as being an indicator of truth, but not old Dave! Oh, no, where I'm concerned that must mean I'm a liar. Imagine if I'd got the wrong number!
 |
|
By:
The basis state pension isn't £156.
Try to get all your thoughts together before you post. Serial posts make you seem like a wannabe lfc1971 Shouldn't you be scaffolding? |
|
By:
Is that it, Dave? No apology after getting it so wrong? Pathetic! You're like the gift that just keeps giving!
|
|
By:
Loving it that you're all obsessed about my job. Or perhaps I'm not a scaffolder now? Is that what you're implying, Dave?
I've just had a full English breakfast as well...... or have I, Dave? |
|
By:
Nice to see we're having yet another conversation again, though! I can only think that must have been another Dave a few days ago - he seemed so sure he never conversed with me!
|
|
By:
Does dave think scaffolding is an unworthy job?
|
|
By:
He's just obsessed with trolling me, Saddo. Anxious and Scandinavian Haven were the same - whenever I post within what they consider should be working hours for a scaffolder in they'll all chirp with "shouldn't you be working?" or "shouldn't you be up a scaffold?" etc.
They're completely obsessed with me mate, and desperately try to catch me out on the most mundane of things to the point they're now seemingly paranoid about everything! It can't be true I'm a scaffolder, it can't be true my mum in law gets £156 pension, it can't be true I'm their puppet master and they're on my string! It never ends well for them! |

By:
Have a read through Dave's input on this thread, it's absolutely priceless. I don't know what he does for a living but he'd be perfect for the council, the man has no equal when it comes to digging holes for himself!

Talkmadder almost never makes a spelling or grammar mistake. That simply doesn't correlate with a manual labour occupation, particularly a hard and dangerous one. Seen some really daft posts on here but that's up with the best of them. What a view to have Dave. Incredible. |

It's not a "view". It's a fact.
I was referring to the inference that your post quite clearly makes ie that you think people who do manual jobs are thick. |
|
By:
That must be what you think, because it isn't what I wrote or think and couldn't possibly be construed from that statement.
|

By:
You may not be a pompous snob tbf dave, but you do a very fine impression of one.

So someone who does manual labour shouldn't be able to spell or structure a post correctly, is that right? |

lol you are assigning exactly the opposite meaning to that statement. It doesn't say anything about people who do manual labour it only says something about people who are extremely accurate with spelling and grammar. And the intersection between those people and people who have manual labour as a job will be very small. This doesn't say anything about intelligence.
It should be fairly obvious that people who apply themselves in the early stages of education ie spelling and grammar and take pride in being accurate in those areas are likely to continue that through their education. That is likely to lead to qualifications and to opportunities in professional and skilled careers. None of that says anything about intelligence or lack of it. That only really becomes a factor at the extremes. Just about all of us are in average intelligence band, that no one can really accurately assess. |
