I remember getting told off for referring to, and quoting him as Trollie, Alan Trollie, My Little Trollie, Crazy Fry, etc :P
Hyro wasn't happy with me though :wink:

Good times. Crazy times as well...

Oh what the hell, I guess now is a good time as any to own up. It was me, and nobody ever suspected me (unless Owen figured it out somehow) :twisted: Poor Jamie and Dave were getting the blame.

(I'm sorry and I won't do it again, please don't kill me)
Brilliant!!!!

Best undercover work I've ever seen haha.

It was fun. Pages and pages and pages. Multiple conversations running concurrently. Shows why letting threads go on is worth it. Years later we can all laugh about it.

You shouldn't of chased him off...

Wasn't so much anyone chased him off. He got banned, two or three times I think?
Then told he can have ONE topic to talk about him ramblings in, and that's all. If my memory serves me correctly.


Then he posted in all topics and rambled again so... yeah. Blew his chance again.

I think that was about right anyway.

Did we ever manage to get to the bottom of if he actually worked in this sector, or if that was part of his great love for telling various sized porkies?

While not proven, I have the up-most certainty he did not.

Oh fair enough. I must of missed all that. He was in retrospect quite mad.

For these forums that was all quite dramatic. Which is a complement to us all.

A lot of people say that about me too to be fair ;)
But at least I had some basic understanding of how a railway infrastructure works and runs. Even if it is more the operational and technical side of things.

I haven't seen the previous topic until now but... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :lol:

How did you guys manage to stay sane?!? :lol: :lol:


P.S. Has anyone suggested mr. Fry to offer his services to someone like Kim Yong-Un, I bet he'd get promoted to minister of transport in a matter of seconds. And he'd probably get some of his ideas done for real... :twisted:

I think reading Mr. Fry's posts made me feel more sane, as I finally started to realise there are people far crazier than myself :lol:

I remember when he proposed a Southport to Hull train, calling at every lamppost.... oh wait.
