    I'm sure I'm not the only one who reads a posting and can instantly
    identify the poster simply from the writing style, subject matter or
    phraseology, without even looking at the header.

    So..... if you read the following phrases (made up, not copied & pasted
    from genuine postings), who would you name as the usual suspects?

    1. That's the wrong side panel badge for that year of RD. It should
    have three speed blocks, not four.

    2. The wogs would never have got this uppitty when we had the Empire.
    Bring back conscription, innit.

    3. It's a sort of neo-impressionistic look at a faux-Italian novella. I
    was reading it in the wine bar last night

    4. The dealer said he'd never *heard* of one of these breaking down. It
    was running fine last week!

    5. Just after we ticked off the 378th checkpoint, the snow started. But
    we only had 420 miles to do.

    6. And once again I get flamed, whereas if any of the "regulars" posted
    it, there'd just be the usual arse-licking.

    7. My mate, who's in Special Forces, a real hard case, served in Iraq,
    told me, and he ought to know......

    8. Home-made 24-cylinder engines! Nnnghghghghghg!

    9. Legally, they're supposed to give you 21 days' notice and go through
    a proper arbitration process in front of a magistrate and three lay
    officials.

    10. They only used that mark of Spitfire in special high-altitude
    reconnaissance missions.

    11. Hey! These new hormones are making me lactate!

    12. They've postponed my court case again.

    13. If the particle is a certain size, and positively charged, then
    assuming a constant rate of gamma radiation and accelerated radioactive
    decay.....

    14. Actually, the women in Upper Volta are amazingly fit.

    15. A well-set up British twin will piss over any Jap crap from the
    1970s. They just weren't built to last.

    16. Anyone know where I can get a crankshaft for a 1957 Lambretta?

    17. This is a tale of Number One Dog and a particularly stupid fox, as
    witnessed last night.......

    18. I don't care what the so-called experts say, an Alfa 164 will take
    anything on the road and never break down.

    19. Once again, some scumbag neighbour has smashed our windows and
    keyed the car.

    20. You all ride safely, now.

  9. I thought of Tallbloke first but my warped logic said that sweller has
    posted more recently, so it must've been him.
    Ah, that'll be you then.
    Makes sense.

    Are you about later? Say at about 3.00 - 3.30?

    Riding 30 odd miles seems like a good way to get a couple of holes
    drilled in a number plate.

    Easy. Lozzo
    Even easier - Auvache.
    A reasonable stab at Darsy, but let down by the reference to a wine
    bar.
    Nigel Eaton
    Hmmm. Not sure. Whinging Courier? Prawn?
    Bonwick
    (It might be meant to be me, but if so it's not very good).
    That oirish ****.
    Sir Tony.

    Tell you what - you go to google groups and find a single post from
    Sweller saying anything nice about a british twin, let alone saying
    it'd beat a jap bike.

    No, it wasn't. I'm sure it wasn't me - so sure I googled and drew a
    blank. So unless it was written by somebody who X-no-archives, TOG
    just made it up.
    At that time, no, as it happens. Elly is on a field trip today, so
    I'll be picking the kids up about then and running them about for the
    rest of the afternoon. This left Elly riding off into the snow and
    ice this morning, of course, as I need the car. I envied her not,
    once I'd eyeballed the hard-frozen puddles in the road.
    You appear to have misspelled "good excuse to buy a Dremel".

  13. It sounded something you'd say IRL rather than on here tbh.
    It snowed like a goodun down here last night. It was plenty freezing
    this morning.
    Heh. Maybe one day. Anyway, just as I was anticipating coming up and
    running a bath, my fsking boiler's gone so I now have to wait in for
    Mr.Plumber. Curses.

    nope - some people's styles are more obvious than others.
    Well, you might be trying for me, but since I don't drink in wine bars,
    I'm going to have to put "porl" for this one.
    Nigel Eaton.
    You or Weggy.
    Some manky old tranny.
    In the old days, I'd have said Matt, but maybe you mean Donegal Paul?
    Ivan or Will.
    You might be aiming for Champ here, but you'd really need some sort of
    pro-Kwak thing too.
    Donegal Paul again?
    Sir.T.

    Having re-read the OP, they are made up and not cut'n'pasted quotes,
    so I guess it was fair enough - but I'd not refer to Number One Dog;-)
    If he'd used Bigdog then he'd have been right on the nose.
    You are the Timo of household appliances, aintcha?
