well I tried...

..and less of the 'oik'.. over educated respectable working class if you don't mind... 😜

The pfr persona, out of sheer perserverance and exasperation, takes the piss out of old miseries.
It's fun play-acting up to their prejudices and giving them enough rope...
Real me might sometimes prefer a more positive but less entertaining approach...

However, not all are as thick skinned as us;
mudcat community would be a far happier and functional place without all the constant gratuitous aggro.......


Btw Tezz, I don't seek or need pals, I'm too asocial.
I'm not one for ever joining gangs or organised campaigns..
Why must you insist on lumping your perceived foes together under one simplistic cliched grouping...???

Paradoxically, I might have found a suitable disciplined place in the military if conscription hadn't ended.
The inner sardonic c@@t in me would have thrived.
I'd might even have made an effective training corporal or sergeant...
I'd definitely have enjoyed firing weapons.

See people are far more complex... we might have much more in common that you credit..
