> [@Mangetout](#): > > Ok, one of the photos in the auto trader gallery was the same as the one jaymac posted. I think I’m about to have to stand corrected. You’re a good guy. I’m a cynical shit. I just happened to be right, but you’re still a good, decent human being. ETA: Kumbaya ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > Now, now, don’t be cynical. There could be a reasonable explanation for all this. There obviously isn’t, my name is Samuel McInnerny and I’m actually from Reading. I just want to know how the fuck you sniffed it so fast, and why you tried so hard to disprove my pitiful existence which of course, ultimately turned out to be bollocks. You have been trolled. I do want to say that I am not Umkay, I did genuinely discover this forum a few days ago and wanted to see if you were as stupid as I thought, I have nothing to do with Umkay. I was proved wrong, well played all of you. I do know Greater Glasgow very well indeed though. Bye now, Good luck next time! 🙂 ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > As an Englishman, I can tell you that Essex /ˈɛsɨks/ is a ceremonial and administrative county in England, and a home county norf-east of London. It borders the counties of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire to the norf, Hertfordshire to the west, Kent across the estuary of the River Thames to the souf and London to the soufwest. Essex County Council is the principal local aufority for much of the county, sharing functions with 12 district and borough councils. The county town is Chelmsford. Essex is a region at the second level for European statistical purposes. Uncanny! ---

Of course, I was wrong here, and it turns out everyone else was right, but what I don’t really see, is how their (ultimately correct) conclusions were based on sound evidence. No, I’m not in the market for bridges, i just don’t see how the story was so very implausible at the start ---
