Kev, Ken’s just not able to behave according to the standards others should be able to expect of him. He’s demonstrated this on a number of occasions.
Ian, Ken’s lies count for absolutely nothing. The only visitors to his site go there to laugh at him and it’s doubtful that his rantings about you will be regarded as anything other than the vile outpourings of a liar who’s been caught out by those who’ve scratched the surface of his stories and found so little of substance or note.
Ken’s even re-written the history of events on this forum a couple of years ago, you can hardly blame a poor memory for that. No, it’s simply bitterness. He was given the undeserved courtesy of slipping out of a situation he’d created for himself and he’s now re-written this as some form of triumph.
Let’s examine the possibilities of Ken’s claim to fame with a charitable eye:
Ken writes up some of his memories. He’s eager to do this and doesn’t check all the dates and timelines because he feels he’s fairly sure about what happened and when. This goes on the web under scrutiny and it transpires that some of the recollections don’t fit the assumed dates. Ken has two options here:
* Go back and verify the timeline and revise it, however this results in an unremarkable tale which doesn’t insult the memory of someone more homourable than him and therefore doesn’t grab any attention.
* Go on the offensive and swear that black is white and ignore all proof to the contrary.
The first option would have been wiser, Ken. The second has led to global ridicule each time you pop your head up above the parapet. A couple of years ago Mark and I did you the undeserved favour of negotiating a peace to save you further embarrassment, this current round of nonsense finds me less charitable.
Ken, behave with some dignity, your attention seeking behaviour is utterly shameful and it’s gone too far. Perhaps Ian’s a big enough man to forgive you? He’s put more effort into researching your story and has had a great deal more success in establishing the facts than you have.
Look on the bright side, Ian. When Ken did his extensive google research to establish your identity (With his usual lamentable accuracy) at least he didn’t accuse you of being a rosebush The moderately fragrant EN830 rose
Moggy, you spotted Ian’s rather clever ruse. He intends to use TWO kippers (Does that make him ambikipperous?)
It’s quite ironic that this is one of the few examples of discussion on a forum that’s crammed to the rafters with “what was the last film, song, object you inserted into your belly-button type threads.

I’ll pledge £2.78 to save this thread.
You’ve still not figured it out, have you, Baffled of Blackheath? Shame.

Snapper.
Is there any reason why you could not invite the gentleman over to plane talk where you and he can continue the debate to your hearts’ content?
Moggy
Rob, there’s a very good reason why this won’t continue on PT and that’s because Ken’s ridiculous theory and condescending behaviour simply aren’t welcome.
Damn those scientologist suicide bombers!
Damn those pesky Jedi!

Such a shame you can’t join me.
Only joking. 😀
Surprisingly, Moggy offered to moderate said ghetto. This kind offer was wisely declined.
Moggy, it’s about as clever as your wit is rapier-sharp. I suppose we should be flattered that you’re a regular reader, if not a contributor. You’ve taken more notice of Stewart’s post than the rest of the PlaneTalk readership, who just ignored it, and indeed this thread, until you decided to make a snide remark.
Ollie, you really must consult your dictionary before posting drivel. A “group” requires more than one member.
In the unlikely event that anyone might have their fragile ego dented by Stewart’s post on PlaneTalk, it’s been deleted. It’s perhaps notable that nobody took any notice of it on PlaneTalk, not a single response……
Many thanks to everyone who made yesterday happen and for those who came to remember our friend Steve. Having started the day with threats of rain we ended up with a marvelous afternoon and I can’t help thinking that someone up there has a great deal of influence with the weather gods.




Thanks to Andy and to Carolyn for standing up in-front of what was quite a large crowd to say a few words about Steve, you both did a splendid job. It’s nearly a year since we lost Steve, but it’s still very difficult to come to terms with the fact that he’s not around anymore.
Thanks also to the Shuttleworth Collection for playing host, for supplying the bench and for dedicating another display to the memory of a good friend.
Rob
The bench is currently in Hangar 5 after being given a coat of preservative by Andy and Neil this afternoon. I’ll ask for a couple of announcements to be made over the PA system so that friends and family are aware of arrangements on the day.
Rob
The bench dedication is scheduled for 16:00 (during the display) probably in Hangar 8 (this will be confirmed by tanoy on the day).
