Well perhaps I'd have a bottle of my favourite red wine aside, d’Arenberg's Original Shiraz Grenache.

Either that or a litre of Singapore Sling

Hang on second there, Boddies, lad. That post I linked to says:

That's one inconsistency too far. I am beginning to think you're a sham. This being t'Internet 'n' all, I put it to you, that you are not a young northen lad with an occasional job in Internet Marketing...you are actually a 32 year old, female, posh Soft Southern Sloane Ranger who has never touched a drop of Boddies in her life and is in fact more at home supping Champagne in 1A writing up a dissertation on an experiment conducted on an Internet forum to "put a bit of stick about" by challenging preconceived notions of North/South divide. You have recently extended your study’s remit to include challenging preconceived notions of common sense and intelligence and have done so by recruiting flyrights to assist.

Suddenly, it all becomes clear. The real giveaway is that nobody could like that Boddingtons muck as much as you claim to

G-BOAC - I'm glad you've 'outed' him/her. I've had my own doubts for a long time.

Phil the Flyer it was done for your benefit alone. It would be such a nasty sight to have your head explode all over your keyboard now wouldn't it?

It already has! By the way, given your evident organisational skills, will you be arranging the inaugural 'Muccis Only' social gathering?

Why have you kept that quiet so long? Would she like to attend a future Do perhaps?

Indeed, but that is a joke I have between a friend of mine from Kent. It's such a common meal that would feature in many a northern household. His idea of me being a typical common northerner equates to this in a restaurant.....

Waitress: "Are you ready to order sir?"

[Southern jumps in]

Southerner "He'll have Gammon, Egg n' Chips and a pint of Boddies please Love"

[To which he thinks so funny that it warrants a laughing fit]

I don't quite know how to take that G-BOAC; I don't know whether to be offended or not!?!

This occasional job in Internet Marketing isn't indeed occasional as you suggest. The work has been done; all I do is look at the figures on a monthly basis and forward the leads over to the agent in California by the last day of each month. So I don't actually do anything really.

I shall scan you my student card from MMU to verify my enrollment until August 2007 and shall make an appearance at any FT do in Manchester where Boddingtons is indeed served on tap.

As for flyrights, well he has caused a bit of a stir recently!

I'm going to come to Boddington's defence chaps.

You see I too have been trying to work it out. Personally I thought he registered at a rather dubious uni to qualify for a loan. He took those funds and flew down to Spain a lot, looking at the BA97 calendar. He only seemed to spend one night there or even flew back the same day. I wondered what he could have been carrying in his suitcase that he could have perhaps gone on to sell on a Manchester sink estate. I wonder how much profit this could have yielded him and whether or not this could possibly have funded his first class cricket tour?

I took an interest in Boddingtons as I visioned an enterprising cute young lad in a Fred Perry polo shirt and trackie bottoms, with a heavy solid silver chain round his neck, who needed educating. Why waste all these funds on Boddingtons (the drink) when he can clearly afford Krug (as opposed to krug! )

And so I offered him a ticket to a cricket match in Sydney and we got chatting via PM's, as boys do. Without wanting to give too much away I realised my assumptions were wrong about how he was financing his lifestyle. A uni loan in conjuntion with various BMI credit cards and tripple points offers has allowed Boddingtons to travel. Oh and he comes from one of the wealthiest, nicest and poshest areas one could live in the Greater Manchesterford area. I mean if I were to live up north, I would consider residing in this particular area.

Despite this he still hasn't got a clue when it comes to drink. So next time he comes south I would like to extend an invitation to join me in our hot tub for a champagne tasting. We're bound to find one he likes and I'm not trying to get him drunk

What you visioned VC10 was something out of one of your fantasies

I'm affraid I don't meet your above description; although I do have a Fred Perry hoody somewhere in the wardrobe

Now this is Boddingtons student ID to put rest to the unfounded accusations put forward in this thread. It's a bad photo and I'm lookin a bit pastey. And in my defence for the miserable face, these enrollment sessions are early doors!

For once I meet your ever increasing standards

And I'm not stepping one foot in that hot tub if you're in your budgie smugglers

1. Where it say 'expires 31-08-07', is that you or the card?

2. Judging by the photo you enrolled in the wrong establishment; Strangeways might be more appropriate.

3. I think VC10 Boy will take one look at that photo and have you in his hot tub before you can say 'mine's a pint'.
