it is with great sadness i hear that the hippy was attacked by a scissor weilding maniac,he is currently residing in the turnip ward at lincoln
general hospital waiting for a hair transplant.any cards etc should be sent to him,food or money to me,anyone wanting to donate hair should contact
the hospital direct
Oh dear... does that mean he's lost all his supernatural strength now, and is no longer an Arnie look-alike? 
...and his girlfriend's name isn't Delilah, by any chance?
rgds,
David
well
there was me thinking it was cos he' d gone all homophobic.
see hippys last post.
not a happy boy when I spoke to mim on email last night.
In fact you could say hes not feeling gay at all
atb
steve
ps
does he want short curly black hair? There are a few I could donate.....
(why isnt there an icon for puking?)

It's turning into a pile of shite.
Give me a shout when it's back to being half normal.
what if I change my signature to something like
'hippy is gay'
will he come back to complain I wonder?

Well i hope the hipster is making good use of his time "offline" in the garage
'bout time too some would say!!!!
missing him really...
lets all email him and say "come back hippy, we have returned to some form of normality"
Is hippy in a dark corner somewhere rocking back and forth hugging his knees?
Shame, He posted some good stuff
Hey partner! Come back now!
P.S. (Texan, had to be one of the 8 that voted sheep)

Whatever Hippy might be doing I'm sure it beats sitting in a forum getting fucked off with having no money with which to do anything on his project while getting no information useful to himself from said forum...
if someone might want some information in relation to what he wanted to do, he would find it best to ask the questions for which he needs answers.
just because it's not been posted before (or you can't find it) it doesn't mean we can't help
I'm told he has asked many questions on a variety of related subjects and rarely gets anything that equates to useful.
i'm starting to wonder if you might be the hippy. and if you are, it's a shame you decided to leave in a flaf
Hey, noobie! second post and already talking to hippy? It's you hippy ain't it?
Welcome back
This is clearly hippy.
Couldnt stay away Huh?
Your old account was last used on 11th so you didnt exactly stay away
Who else would register a new accoutn at 1.15 am in the morning? Then start talking about someone he wouldnt have known before as an early morning ,
just registered newbie.
I hope its hippy anyway.
I have had this nasty vision of hippy and his new found friends in a hotel room, only coming out every few days or so for water and a fresh 5 litre
bottle of baby oil
atb
steve
So he claims that was him removing his details, nothing more.
What's a flaf by the way?
The short hair's an obvious disguise...

Oh aye, the 13th was yesterday.
He says he forgot to sign it out the other day.
Shorthair, tell the Hipster to come back as we miss him!
James
Yeah ShortHair, tell the Hipster to get back 'ere.
Those were the good old days. Hippy and Gusterwotsit going at it....
Damn,,, I miss that crazy Hippy guy.... snifff... sniff.... What did he not get here SHortHair? Friendship? Cameraderie? Gay pierced bi-sexuals?
...
Graber
it was all a good laff and was never serious - but a lot of fun.
Just never reaslised that hippy was such a homophobe. I dont have em on my xmas card list either, but each to his own as long as they dont want me to
join in!
Im hoping Hippy will put away his Village people records, change out of his leather trousers and cap, and come back to us soon.
atb
steve
PS
If anyone wants to encourage him back
metal_hippy@hotmail.com
[Edited on 16/3/04 by stephen_gusterson]
Mr Shorthair...when you next speak to Metal Hippy tell him we all miss him
and want him back..
well if he has gone i'll take his engine n gearbox

I sympathise with the hippy on that one, work my arse off, going to silly war zones so the missus can spend all my cash on ebay, think I'll
become a student. got a decient excuse for being porr then.
(might study englash so I can speel beter)
I see you're all experts on an individual case that you know nothing about.
Congratulations.
hey shorthair, nice reply
if hippys not coming back, you sound like the type of fellow to replace him
someones got to keep the others in their place
DUH
This IS hippy
he is just being a plonker.
making a point about homosexuality is one thing, pretending to be someone else cos you have a strop on just blows your argument to bits

[Edited on 17/3/04 by Scotty]
just an observation, but most, if not all of your comments on this forum are ageist. you should know age doesn't equal intelligence or knowledge..
Fortunately, I think you and he are in the minority with your views.

seconded. i tried to talk to him on msn at the time, to see what his problem was, but he blocked me.
he's pulling the classic spoilt brat it seems
welcome back bud..

Yes I thought that thread was appalling.
No I didn't leave because of that.
I'm currently fed up of the whole damn thing and wasting my time on here doesn't help.
Maybe now this thread which is yet another pointless one can die and you lot can continue talking about whatever you want.

well.. from that post, you can see why we assumed you left because of the thread...
whatever, i'm sorry* that you didn't like the thread and decided it was appaling.
but it was well within the unspoken rules of the site, in the right place, and while being directed on a different way, no different to a lot of the
threads here.
*sorry that you're such a pitiful indivual as to not be able to see and accept other peoples views
Good grief!
Give the poor bloke a break - he's demotivated or lost interest at the moment, so having people harrassing him won't bring him back in a
hurry.
David
i quite like the guy, he seemed nice enough, had some good ideas and had taste in music.
but he seems to want to be on the wrong side of me, so he's getting the wrong side
[Edited on 17/3/04 by Staple balls]
I'm not trying to get on the wrong side of anyone.
At first I thought that thread would be interesting just like the rest of you. I have no problem with other people or their personal tastes on
certain matters, what I didn't like was the way the thread seemed to turn to filth.
Also, everyone has taste in music.. You didn't say whether my taste was good or bad though...
One final note, I'm not after an argument. People are entitled to partake whatever pleasure they desire as far as I care. I'm not a
homophobe, I'm not anti bi. If you would like confirmation, ask the two people I helped move home a couple of weeks ago.
All I would like is people to get facts straight about what I apparently think before they decide to announce to the world that I'm anti
something or other.
i didn't think you were anti anything, but didn't get why you found it appaling.
and your music taste's poo mate..... but exactly the same as mine
would you mind unblocking me on msn so we can talk more sensibly?
Are we all friends again now?
Come on guys (are there any ladies on here?), we've all got one thing in common after all, suggestions as to what that is?
Hippy, don't worry, we all get de-motivated / pissed off with it at times. Anything we can do to help?
[Edited on 17/3/04 by Northy]
All cheques and postal orders can be sent to....
dear god. is the hippy selling his body again?
good to have him back

I've got some red oxide in't garage
Seriously, you need any help Hippy? We're not all t*ats
Oh, we're all tw*ts. It's just that with some people it's far more obvious.
As for help, it's all financial. So unless one of you wins the lottery and lends me £5k to live off and build my car with for 2 or 3 months then
I'm afraid it all depends on me finding work..
Additional:: I have some red oxide
[Edited on 17/3/04 by Metal Hippy]
Come on, as you told me - 'stick at it'
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=3456
I didn't scan all that BMW stuff for nothing
As for the financial stuff, life has many 90 degree bends in it which appear at irregular intervals (good and bad) so if you are having a run off bad
luck sooner or later it will change
I really know where you are coming from, but I am looking at it after one of those events.
Sympathy, boll0cks, its all down to stamina!!
Mark
I know I know.. practice what you preach.
Knackers to that, I don't have stamina. I'm unfit, that's why I've started running again.
Trying to get it back again.
Just look out for one of those 90 degree bends, I not talking locosting here, things got REALLY bad for me a while back, I managed to struggle on for
a while and then a series of unconnected coincidences happened, and with a little help I managed to get everything back together (confidence severely
knocked, but now increasing all the time).
It may happen tomorrow, it may not, but something will happen that you can sling a hook onto that will improve things. Its up to you to build on that
once it happens.
I know where you are coming from, easy now to look back and say 'chin up' but - chin up!
Mark
PS Chin Up
how many emails did you get 'ippy!!?!
Actually not enough.
You're all miserable bastards
Hippy,
If you think that you may carry on building at a later date, why not spent some time doing the little (cheap) but time-consuming things that slow the
big build down? For example, design your wiring, source the little bits and pieces, make you own seats, etc.
good luck!
David
P.S. You have my sympathy with the student finance thing - my son went through uni a few years back, and it came as major shock to him when he had to
live off a limited amount of money. He finally realised how much free bed and board is really worth!

If two instances in near 300 posts makes me ageist in your mind, then you have some serious issues to deal with, besides the obvious.
The younger members of the forum who I have corresponded with on technical matters, may also say different to you.

Take a step back from the brink of nuclear war here.
Take a look at the thread I'm about to post in Anything else.
