I'm not going to lie and say there's no hint of mischievousness in my sense of humour sometimes, but Derek does seem to take mischief to the next level.
Throwing him under the bus is one of my favorite pastimes

When you have arsonist under your belt as past hobby ones perception of mischief may differ slightly from another.Kai wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 1:59 pmI'm not going to lie and say there's no hint of mischievousness in my sense of humour sometimes, but Derek does seem to take mischief to the next level.

I did actually say in my comment that I'm not mocking his faith and I don't think I did. If I did then that was wrong. It was the apparent disconnect between it and his actions that I found extraordinary.
Exactly He is in many ways the perfect fall guy

But in all seriousness, like Shaun once famously said, for some the forum is an equivalent of an office water cooler, a place to hang around to chat or dish out banter etc (think "The Office"), it's something people miss from a regular job.
So it's really not a difficult concept to comprehend, the concept of a "bored fulltimer" etc.
Sorry Shaun, I did notice your comment so I should have made the effort to point out I wasn't aiming my sarcasm in your direction.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 3:18 pmI did actually say in my comment that I'm not mocking his faith and I don't think I did.

And I was just pointing out that these low level white collar crimes are in fact real crimes that people do get prosecuted for. Yeah a phone contract here or a change of occupation on an insurance there isn't a big deal, but when you go out of your way to characterise yourself as pious then your deeds and actions probably ought to tally.
So is Pat I think, I actually suspect you two have a lot in common which is maybe why you rubbed each other wrong, like 2 brothers would

Bottom line, if I was really finding entertainment in actual bickering I wouldn't try to actively mediate against it, would I. It's a crap annoying job at times but you can't really escape your personality, I saved mine from that personality test thread last year, so at least I feel like I have a decent excuse for meddling
No probs mate. I wasn't responding to you directly just distancing myself from the possibility of being sued for religious hate crimes.
Agreed, you are asking for trouble however I do withdraw via PayPal as banks don’t seem to ask questions but betfair restrict the amount and times you can withdraw.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 1:30 amYou're basically describing money laundering? And when you submit your HMRC tax return for your 'business', how do you expain the revenue source?Crazyskier wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 9:29 pm1) Open a business account
2) Withdraw all winnings to Paypal, never, ever to a debit card! Your bank will likely flag you immediately
3) Withdraw Paypal into your business account once per month
4) Transfer from said business account to current account on the last working day of each month (or 28th). Try to keep the amounts very similar (£2-4k ish) works very well
5) When you renew your mortgage or have any kind of credit check, simply state your employment as the name from which you pay yourself monthly, with full time employed being superior to self employed for insurance and risk assessment purposes
I've been doing this myself for many years, though I do genuinely have a small web and Google ads firm that accepts Paypal and transfers regularly into the business account from which I pay myself at the end of each month
Good luck!

Have to reluctantly agree since technically that is a factual statement, what exactly constitutes shitposting may be debatable to some extent but many do willingly and unwillingly partake in shitposting (myself included), even in threads where that would maybe be deemed inappropriate, since it requires the least amount of effort. Even though it is consistently encouraged a bit of restraint in the future may not be a bad idea
