If this really is Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, then it's the best thing that has happened to this blog for a long time.

Once he stopped posting in that dreadful faux-aristocrat jargon [a literary style he never mastered and which got more embarrassing as time went on] Sir Henry is, despite his tiresome political views, a really interesting man with a point of view and the gumption to promote it.
He is, moreover, a genuine one-off eccentric with a huge range of interests and accomplishments, which of course why you idolised him: he is everything you would like to be but haven't the intellect or talent to become. If I were you I would limit his posting on this blog, as his full blooded quirkiness will show just how hollow, tinny and bogus is your own pretentious posturing, even padded out with the wholesale plagiarism which forms the backbone of this blog.
I am currently working on a paper for the online psychotherapists' seminar I joined during the first lockdown, based on the history of "Granny Barkes Pissed Her Pants in British Home Stores", going back eleven years to its first airing on this deplorable blog, and tracing its development over those eleven years from 212 words of garbage to 470 words of garbage spread out even more thinly.
"Publication has been delayed by copyright issues" - what utter crap! Good evening to you both.

The Miss Strange site can be found here:
staffroom.boards.net/
It is a private members' club, which requires application. In the early days (shortly after TES disbanded), applications were accepted, but quite soon, those posters who were not part of the clique were soon silenced and kicked out: including myself, Floriangassman, Lanokia, and several others. It was clear from the start that certain opinions were frowned upon, and the couple of uptight lady moderators soon got their whips out.
There is little left in the way of a forum for discussion any longer.Replies- Anonymous25 January 2022 at 12:59
And Gene's blog will certainly not serve such a purpose, Sir H. What isn't copied and pasted from professional writers is usually tendentious and bigoted nonsense. Not only that, but he deletes any posts which prove him wrong. His canting about free speech is truly stomach-turning.

Thanks Sir H. The Clique won't tolerate anything dissident to Political Correctness. I'm surprised they haven't yet engaged Obergruppenführer Detterling to police their boards.

"Thanks Sir H. The Clique won't tolerate anything dissident to Political Correctness. I'm surprised they haven't yet engaged Obergruppenführer Detterling to police their boards."
The forum in question is highly policed by not only two extremely officious ladies (Miss Strange and a fellow Scottish dame whose name I forget, but who happened to be a friend of Miss Dipity), but by the clique members themselves who, like the self-serving middle and senior managers of today's state schools, observe and put to the question everything that contravenes their narrow-minded skulls.
I suspect that Mr Detterling himself would last barely one day on that place.

Actually, you deserve a smidgeon of respect for this latest ploy. You have obviously invented the post from Sir Henry to pad out your latest humiliation about "Granny Barkes Shat her Pants in Fenwicks' Window". A trace of resourcefulness and originality from you - whatever next?

By the way, the Douay Martyrs Governors meet for their first 2022 meeting in ten days, and guess who is "Any Other Business"? Mr Corish is a charming man, and, more to the point, with a detestation of bigotry, filth and hypocrisy. In our conversations he was particularly incensed by your cowardice in refusing to admit your authorship of this blog, and your outstanding nastiness to "Rosemary McTeague".
Bad news for you, Gene, in fact the worst. Brace yourself. - Anonymous26 January 2022 at 03:06
And of course I remembered overnight your faking of posts from Robert Steadman using the same technique as you have used to fake the above posts from Sir Henry - lifting the avatar from the Blogspot site and pasting it in. I remember Mr Steadman being very indignant when I contacted him, and I also remember how quickly you ran for cover. Don't bother forging any more from Sir Henry, Gene: I won't read them.

Just another forgery from the sorry roll-call of your inept deceits: the vacuous encomia from Libby Purves and Christopher Ricks, the contemptible forged emails from the dying Clive James, and most recently and hilariously from Richard Dawkins. And that's before we start on the dire parade of unfinished [in most cases un-started] novels and plays [publication delayed because your dog ate the manuscripts, presumably].
An inept forger, thief and plagiarist - well, at least you are being punished for what you are simply by being what you are. But dear God, what an epitaph: "He cheated and forged, lied and stole: and still he was a loser". - Anonymous26 January 2022 at 04:32
Believing anything you say is the equivalent of buying a bottle of hair restorer from a bald man. If I were you I would be busy cleaning up this blog before the Douay Martyrs are treated to selections from it the week after next.....
ReplyDelete Good afternoon.

I am able to put the suggestion that Mr Vincent is masquerading as me to rest straight away. If you right click on my icon, it should take you to my site, from whence you can click on Sir Henry at Horringer Court - which leads to here; http://horringercourt.blogspot.com/
Kind regards, Sir Henry
Good morning Mr.Vincent. How refreshing to revisit your site, given that TES is no more, only to be replaced by the clique forum run by Miss Strange and her fellow Woke warriors. Kind regards, Sir Henry
