Economy powering ahead

[IC1967]

I have not edited or removed any posts about deflation. I am happy for anyone who has a record of my posts on deflation to prove me wrong because they won't be able to. I feel you should then offer an abject apology as you sir are impugning my honour which is far more serious than getting a prediction wrong. 

Seriously, you don't copy all my posts just in case you think I might edit some of them do you?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Mick. I don't need to copy your posts. Someone else does it for me...

[IC1967]

Haha. How very sad.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Mick you silly boy. Websites like this automatically log every activity and record changes. You think that modifying a post means that your original prognostications are erased? How touchingly naive.

[Donnywolf]

BST is right again

I know this for a fact because if I spot an error in my spelling (such as Lucan Niell) I JUST HAVE to alter it. That's why 50% of my posts have the text "Last Edit at etc etc"

And that's why yours can be seen in exactly the same way ...e.g. look at Clegg v Farage and there are 2 posts of yours on front page showing "edits". Like me you may have found a way to improve them but who knows

[Sad-Rovers]

I wonder if there is a plugin for this forum that allows users to see previous edits? That way we'd be able to see which posts have had simple spelling corrections and which have been edited wholesale.

There's a fair few in this thread from one of your previous incarnations

Of course I edit posts. For example quite often my keyboard will not register the capital for I. If I see a post i've done I will go back and edit it to make the 'i've' I've.

Silly Billy is on about something completely different. So am I. For example he is saying (or Mr Wigley) that I guaranteed deflation. I can't ever remember saying so and have asked them to prove it. Silly Billy is saying that he probably can't because I'll go back and edit the phrase. I'm saying I've done no such thing. If the phrase can be found there will be a date for any editing. I guarantee that it will only have been edited at the time it was done and only if there was a spelling mistake or such like. There will definitely not be a recent amendment.

[BillyStubbsTears]

So are you saying that after the end of the National, you merely edited your post to correct a spelling mistake?  Is that what you are saying?

[IC1967]

Stop changing the subject. I have been accused of changing a statement where I guaranteed deflation by July 2014. The inference being that after Mr Wigley made this claim that I would go back and edit such comment so it could not be found. I don't know if I did make this statement and have no reason to impugn Mr Wigley's honour so have asked him to produce the evidence. Evidence Billy, something that you are always so keen on.

Silly Billy then joins the fray to back up his leftie friend Mr Wigley saying that if the statement couldn't be found it would be because I had gone back and edited it. I have stated that I have done no such thing. In any case this can be proved because I will guarantee 100% that no statements about deflation that I have made will have been altered after Mr Wigley made the claim. There will be a record of the date and time that any 'deflation' statements were amended. I have even stated that I will admit I was wrong if such statement can be proved. Silly Billy and Mr Wigley want a grovelling apology instead. A bit over the top if you don't mind me saying.

Now, if this statement can't be found, then I feel I deserve an abject apology (that will be immediately accepted) because my honour has been impugned in the most grievous manner. That is all.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Was that a "yes" or a "no" to my simple question Mick?

See, cos the obfuscation makes it look like you didn't actually predict the winner of the National in advance. You just edited your post after the fact.

And I'm sure you REALLY don't want people to think that about you, do you?

[IC1967]

I couldn't care less what people think about me. I'd have thought that should have been obvious by now. Like I say, you'd be better off trying to find this statement you and Mr Wigley are so certain I made. Shouldn't be too hard. I suspect you and your minions have done their level best to find it but can't so you then use your usual diversionary tactic of changing the subject.

Come on man. Where's your evidence!   

[IC1967]

Right I feel I've given you and Mr Wigley more than enough time to find the statement where I 'guaranteed' deflation by July 2014. I've used my amazing powers of recall and can categorically state that I never guaranteed deflation by July 2014. I now demand an abject apology. My reputation has been dragged through the mud and it is the least I should expect. I promise the apology (as long as it is abject) will be accepted immediately and no grudges will be held (by me at least).

So man up and get on with it!

Footnote: If a statement can be found where I 'guaranteed' deflation by July 2014 I will run naked around the Rovers pitch before the start of the next home game. This would be a great treat for the ladies but unfortunately you are all going to be disappointed.

That will knock a few thousand off that attendance

You'd have to actually go to a Rovers game for that to happen.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Mick me old spadger. I'm quite happy to accept that you didn't "guarantee" deflation by July 17 2014. You only predicted it. And you'll also note that I didn't accuse you of editing anything on that score. I did accuse you of editing and deleting other things when you've been shown to be wrong. And I asked you directly why you had edited that Grand National prediction 5 minutes after the end of the race, then claimed to have won a couple of grand.

Really, really strange that you got your knickers in a twist over some prediction about deflation from 15 months ago, but you totally ignore a comment about whether you were in Walter Mitty mode just this Saturday.

Let me get this right..... I have been up in arms with myself all weekend as i put a £5 each way on micks tips, thinking i had messed up, when in actual fact the post has been edited?

Very sad if true.

Aye, the very least Mick should do is reimburse you for the wrong information he gave out, and then he does the old Tory trick of trying to cover his tracks, how can anyone trust what he posts now?

[BigColSutherland]

What were his original tips?

[Prez]

Battle Group, Big Shu, Mountainous, Monbeg Dude, Hawkes Point.

Seems he edited his post after substituting Hawkes Point with the winning horse.

[BigColSutherland]

What a bizarre thing to do. Bordering on a personality disorder.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Battle Group, Big Shu, Mountainous, Monbeg Dude, Hawkes Point.

An even bigger giveaway is that he miraculously gave the winner's starting price, and not the odds on it at the time of the original post..!

[Prez]

Its just very sad. Im not bothered about losing £40 on his tips, (i actually made a profit on the race as my horse finished 2nd) its just the fact he edits his post, then makes out hes quids in! He just cant admit hes wrong.

If that's your best effort at an apology then I wouldn't bother. I'll just have to hope Mr Wigley is more amenable seeing as it was him that made the original false accusation.

[IC1967]

Back on topic. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says the UK economy will be the fastest-growing in the G7 this year.

I'm as amenable as you are in apologising for editing your Grand National post.

[IC1967]

Another poor effort. Some people just don't like admitting they are ever wrong.

Oh, sweet irony.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Give you your due Mick. You've got some balls showing your face in here after acting like such a dick over the weekend.

Strange case.

I see your lads struggled again tonight anyway.

[IC1967]

Stop changing the subject. My lads are safe. I hope Rovers manage the same feat.
