Slightly over invested in this?
@BadDayForMe any update?

I think that OP might be back under a new name with a different scenario.

Can you drop us a hint?

JD glass?

Ah OK, ta

I can never understand how people appear to fall hook line and sinker for clearly bullshit stories.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 30/03/2022 21:29

Could be wrong of course. I'm wrong about a lot of things. Everyone can make their own minds up about whether there is another incarnation moving amongst us.

I was really sad for the OP! I feel really gullible now!

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.
SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 30/03/2022 21:56

Loads of posters are going wild for it though.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 30/03/2022 21:57

There's a psychology PhD to be written about all this stuff. Maybe someone's doing exactly that ...

A couple of posters have dropped hints on the thread about golf his potential hobby, but it's got a life of its own now.

MN can be a funny old world at times.

But like I say, could be wrong.

I don't think you're wrong

Maybe trolls need a hobby like working in a food bank to make better use of their time?

WTF475878237NC · 30/03/2022 22:09

Quite a different writing style I thought. But then I was fully gullible with the OP. Having said that the original thread is still there so it's obviously not clear cut (yet).

chubbachub · 30/03/2022 22:14

In Which topic would any such possibly similar but not the same thread exist?

chubbachub · 30/03/2022 22:15

Actually, never mind :)

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 30/03/2022 22:21

The pattern of behaviour is the same, but it's like - to use an analogy - the handwriting switched from right to left hand to attempt to disguise it (poorly).

I'm surprised neither of them are in the tabloids yet.

Hairbrush123 · 30/03/2022 22:43

Bookmarked. I too am interested.

I think so too. I would love to paint a picture of the thread but don't want to out OP.

I’m confused, again, about the rules.

I had a vague understanding that a TAAT wasn’t allowed. Yet HQ have commented on here and this thread remains.

Am I missing some obscure loophole/reasoning etc?

Not that I necessarily want to do a TAAT, but it’s a “rule” I seem to have remembered.

ChocolateCakeIsPoo · 31/03/2022 01:27

She went to the airport

He was there, with his male friend and they had their golf clubs

Everything was ok

Until they kissed goodbye

GrandTheftWalrus · 31/03/2022 01:29

I'm never sure who is a troll.

If I was the cynical type I would say that mn are enjoying the posts and traffic that the thread and all it's subsequent threads have bought. Why would they want to shut that down entirely if it benefits them?
