Finally you have something useful to do.

Now, since Sheldon has been waiting for far, far longer – what is it that you do in life?

Since you've suggested that he might have changed his name (after showing your ignorance by thinking it was one of his baptised names, when it wasn't) because of the bigotry of the populace at large (or his belief in that), then you can reveal your evidence for that explanation.

Mind, for someone who thinks that a poll constitutes evidence, it's hysterical that you have now decided that Private Eye doesn't count.

And in the meantime, you can explain what it is that you do for a living.

One will end up imagining all sorts of reasons why you won't simply answer Sheldon's question.

Well I would imagine it's none of his business.
It's only going to be used as a stick to beat him/her with anyway.
So why would he/she offer up this piece of information?

Since he/she likes to pontificate about economics, 'scroungers', unemployment and underemployment (the latter is choice, BTW) etc etc – without any evidence and, indeed, in the face of evidence (see Dave O's post below as a single example), I assume that Sheldon thought it would be of interest to know what he/she actually does. It might give some perspective on how they reach such opinions, possibly?

Then again, nothing really explains trolls.

This coming from the man who predicted 'not much growth' between the start of last year and the next election and, after being proved comprehensively wrong refuses to hold his hands up and admit it. Cringeworthy.

When are you going to give up on that stupid line? The best predictions for growth between now and the election equate to "not much growth". Trying to beat someone up because they state the truth is plain idiocy.

Your failure to acknowledge being slapped down by the Governor of the Bank of England no less is duly noted.

The Governor of the Bank of England has told you 3/4m people are underemployed.

He has told you the economic recovery is fragile and not broad based.

He has told you it is far too early to be using superlatives to describe the state if the economy.

Tell us why he is wrong and you are right.

It's time to put up or shut up.

Why should anyone dispute the views of that Canadian chappie at the Bank of England? They are eminently sensible and cautious, given the length and depth of the World recession we have just had. Of course, what all you glass half empty people rather conveniently ignore, are the views of the IMF, which paints a more optimistic forecast. I wonder why that is? Perhaps you could tell us why such an august body as the IMF are wrong, and you are right?

Indeed. There is enough of a witch hunt by the usual suspects on here, without giving them additional ammunition.

Do we think any less of Codpiece for trundling around the West Country, flogging second hand goods on a chilly market stall? What he does to earn his beer money is his own business, and unless the cold has addled his brain, has nothing to do with his fruit bat loopy views!
