I have never met the guy, so I can't comment on his personality but if he was as unpopular as some on here state surely we would never have voted to Leave

I was lucky enough to bump into him in The Westminster Arms and have a beer with him.

I just remembered actually...

When I met him in The Westminster Arms he was drinking with a black man, or man of colour or whatever you are allowed to say this week...

Not such a racist perhaps...?

shock, think it's funny or simply have forgotten what century you are in.

It's sad but not funny!

Yes I saw the 'Remainers' post, but changing names ?? What's that all about.

So I put a word censor in to change it to "remainers". I mentioned this in a previous post, and the person who was using it didn't kick up a fuss. cypruschump however, saw it as a challenge, and went on a spree of using the word in a variety of censor-busting ways.

As a result of this, I added another filter to change his name from "grump" to "chump". In due course it will be deleted, but as long as CG finds it hilarious to circumvent the filters, I will find it hilarious to make him a chump.

Remöaners is in widespread use in the media - it even has its own Wiktionary page and appears in the Mcmillian Dictionary and no doubt the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary too...

...you must be as annoyed as hell!
