Dude. I’m in freaking CHINA and I can easily find about a hundred valid plate numbers for the UK in less than five minutes. That proves nothing.
Right. So, knowing your car was going to be unavailable today, and knowing that not all the buses are wheelchair accessible, it might not have been the wisest course of action to offer to meet up and present your bona fides today.
Just a tip from someone whose job involves people flat out lying to me on a regular basis. Figure out your story ahead of time, keep it simple, and stick to it. When someone conveniently keeps “remembering” to add important info as they roll along, that’s among the top 5 or so things that make a sentient being’s bullshit meter go off.
Another tip - when YOU are the person making arrangements in an effort to establish/bolster your credibility, you might want to consider making arrangements that YOU will be able to keep. For crying out loud you moron, why didn’t you ask CI meet you somewhere you could conveniently roll to?
At what point does a troll “jump the snark” and pass from being amusing to simply being pathetic?
Not my yellow 1.4 litre Citroen C2 HDI Furio automatic with hand controls.
Plus you have the benefit of not having to prove you’re not a troll on wheels 
My license plate is 4BGU415, California license plate, blue Toyota Tercel*. Look it up.
*Not my car. Is your mind blown yet?
Didn’t you say you were 18? Isn’t that the minimum age to even get a *student *driver’s license in the UK, handicap or nae?
No, check you’re fucking facts. You can hold a full driving licence by age 17. Disabled people can drive at 16.
Very true. I am, however, quite willing to meet up with Cinnamon Imp although I am not planning on a trip to the Glasgow area until early December. That’ll give me plenty of time to plan the bus route though, since I doubt I’ll be taking my car!
As a Scottish doper, I’ve been following this with interest. I think what we may have here is a fairly naive lassie who familiarised herself with the board and decided to have a laugh.
Jaymac, some of the stuff you say sounds genuine. The casual reference to Hollyoaks; the familiarity with Rutherglen - even the typed dialect doesn’t seem too “off” to me.
But every now and again something really jars. The Sixth Form college. The claim you have “school work” to do - in Scotland in mid July. You naming a time and a place to meet up and failing to show. But the real kicker for me is the full name you have chosen to share. I cannot find one instance of that surname existing.
If you genuinely want to stop us being “horrible” to you, you can fix this so easily. You’ve already shared your full name, age, and your accident. Did it make a newspaper? Can you link to it? Anything about you online - have you done a wheelchair 5K, or similar charity work that has been covered in local press?
When Ambivalid started posting here he got a bit of a roasting, but once he toned down his one-man crusade regarding handicapped parking and aisle chairs on planes, he discovered we’re not that bad a bunch. Maybe you will too.
No, it is my car. How would I know the technical information? There are iPhone apps available to check UK number plates, mycarcheck is a good one, and free.
All that would prove is that the car exists, not that you do.
Wow. You’re really not all that up on this Internet thing, are you? You’re like a scriptkiddie for trolling. The only reason I’m even posting in this thread is for the practice of things that, over the years, I’ve come to understand that the TM appreciate. One such thing is that little parody upthread. Oh, and I’m enjoying the humor. Yes, I spelled that word without a u. I also spell the past tense form of spell without a t. That is Standard English where I come from. Sue me if you don’t like it.
It’s ok, Din. Erect nipple are not really horrible and usually temporary.
As I said earlier, I had this feeling when she asked about posting a picture of her wheelchair that she was just going to post a picture of a wheelchair.
How about a picture of your chair (or you in the chair) with a sign that says SDMB?
Post it to Imgur or photobucket or something, no big deal, it’s easy.
Even better, post a picture of a paper that says SDMB on your steering wheel with the hand controls.
Eitherway, you keep thinking that saying things is the same as having proof.
I say, pics or it didn’t happen.
School ( and college, and university) is out for the summer.
I don’t have those things sorry.
So she’s a bit slow and has to go to summer school before taking her OWL’s, or something else typically Scottish. I’ll buy that one.
That too, but not the stream of threadbare excuses. Did the dog eat her bus pass too?
I have work to do for September.
Here’s a legitimate request for you. Will you please fucking learn how to spell your? And don’t trot out any Horlicks about standard and non-standard English.
