I'm sorry to hear that, but I must add it also explains a lot.

I believe most call the UN (although some prefer the Ghostbusters).
America usually only gets involved when it's caused the problems in the
first place. Granted Britain has thrown in it's lot with America rather
than Europe, and also granted that America is a member of the UN and
contributes accordingly, but that doesn't make you saviours of the planet.

And that is the core of any troll. Nuisance factor. Well done, you're a
pain in the backside.

Ooh! My hero. Save me, save me. Or will you require the usual cash

I think you'll find that was limited to trolls and people who couldn't
be bothered to read the FAQ, which were regularly posted and advertised.
If you have any other examples, feel free to share.
> What's your point?
My point, as it has been since the start of this fascinating
conversation, is that you haven't contributed a damn thing, despite
whining that this isn't an Izzard newsgroup. Stop whining and do
something about it if it means so much to you.
Tell us...everything about Eddie's life and career

I contribute what most of the regs contribute - conversation and humour
in the Izzard style. In the absence of material produced by Eddie, this
is what remains, other than talking about the same topics over and over
(and we all know how boring that is). I seem to remember you jumped on
me for discussing (not even discussing, mentioning in passing) Eddie's
acting skills whilst trying to help out someone looking for a copy of A
Day in the Life of Joe Egg. What would you like to discuss - his
voice-over to the current recycling adverts he's doing?...hmmm...well
that's that topic covered.

So there you have it. You still haven't added anything to the newsgroup.
Wanna try again? You're getting closer (even mentioning Eddie a couple
of times), but perhaps you could do better than just repeating what
people have pointed out that you do if you're going to continue trolling.
Here's a thought - maybe if you stopped being a troll, people could be
bothered to post here and maybe it would become a Eddie Izzard newsgroup
again. I'll do you a deal: I'll ignore you if you practice what you
preach and make some kind of positive remarks, the kind you want to see
here regularly. k?
