I think Dark_Nit is the custodian of your fibs.
I'm merely here to laugh at your embarrassing lies and stupidity.
When you are in your stinking, run down hovel at night, do you ever think what a pathetic, sad individual that you are? You are that desperate for people to give you attention that you don't care i'ts abuse?
Aah! You're so very sweet, spackerman, really you are. I can't help but feel for you in your position. You're actually quite endearing in your "sweetosity" and how you desperately attempt to pass off your obession with me as a "passing, casual, interest".
You're not actually here (on ARRSE) to "laugh at my embarrasing lies and stupidity", are you, fella? There's much, much more to it than that, isn't there? It's something entirley, intensely and exclusively personal. Otherwise you'd hardly have spent more than a decade obsessively dogging my footsteps on the website if it was just "a passsing, casual interest". But I realise that that's something you'd never admit to. So be it. I can easily live with your viciously vindictive, small-minded idiocy, no problem. How very annoying is that (to you), spackerniski?
"Do Bugsy down", whatever the subject, eh, spackerman? So I live in a stinking run-down hovel, do I? That's your "dream", innit, spackerman. You state that without any evidence whatsoever, just because you've made it up and it fits entirely with your personal "do Bugsy down" agenda. How horrible is the truth for you on that one, spacker-one? I live in a clean and tidy, ground-floor, two-bed, 75-square-metre flat with my darling wife. How traumatic is that for you, spackerinski? I defy you to prove me wrong!
Just to recap: this is a thread specifically about the GDR, on which ARRSErs have the opportunity to acquire information about a (nominally "Socialist") regime most of them stood "opposed to" for decades as part of BAOR. That's an interest that's all too understandable. Yet you've decided to constantly derail it with posts that have no other purpose than to "prove me wrong" in whatever I state. It might have escaped your attention, dear spackerinski, but up til now you've not put in one single post about the subject in question. Why is that?
Could it be that you're more than a little jealous that I speak fluent German (including Swiss-German), while you, having spent well over half your life in the country (as you've proudly pointed out on a number of occasions) can't formulate even the simplest of sentences in the language? Could it be that you passionately and obsessively desire some sort of "revenge" after I totally flattened you in "Current Affairs" (that was before you were officially barred from even posting there, of course)?
It's called "intelligence", spackerman. That's why the measly portion of it you managed to squire was just about adequate (with a lot of tweeking) to get you into the RLC, while I was a CMT with the RAMC, subsequently becoming a picture-restorer and a translator fluent in four languages and with a very good working knowledge of another three. In fact, I was originally advised to join the Royal Signals as a technician, but that didn't interest me. I wanted to be a Medic.
That's the way the world works, at the moment, my dear spackerinsi (although that might change in the future) and you've used your extremely limited choices wisely, I must admit. Just be grateful for what you've got. It could've come a whole lot worse.
