He very obviously wasn't taking the piss, because he's very obviously stupid.
However, maybe it isn't this thread that's caused the problem and his absence from the Forum; he seemed extraordinarily angry about Caroline Flack, and was whanging on about her being a horrible domestic abuser, and glad she was dead, and then he actually called me "educationally subnormal" and said "I get some retards who spout shit in the back of my taxi but you make me realise they are just amateurs."
Maybe it's some kind of post-Flack breakdown and he will be back shortly to explain this thread to an eagerly-waiting 6CM?
After all, I don't doubt that a 52 year old Welsh taxi driver has heard much worse.
