Neither - wishful thinking that he had returned....
But, if he returned, he would have used his old name, maybe a 4 instead of a 3.

Well, thanks for letting me know I’m off the hook and for being a friendly voice, spring-peeper

Here is something odd about your user name, I thought it was a reference to being spanned across many threads.
It took a post from a Brit to remind me that it was a tool in the UK - we call it a wrench.
Why did you pick that as your user name?
I use spring-peeper because it is the name of a local frog.

Tired and unemotional
Except you've missed the bit where you gripe endlessly about the beer, and slag off the other punters. In quite a few of the pubs I drink in, that's going to result in someone having a "bit of a word".

It may or may not surprise you to know I’ve never heard of Operation Spanner. And I’m fairly sure most people reading this hadn’t heard of it either until 5 minutes ago.

Least noticed poster 2007
I have. It was a famous case, a terrible injustice, and there was a notable campaign around it.
Lots of media coverage at the time, and periodically in the years since.
I've met one the key campaigners, but I knew of it long before I met them.
The Spanner Trust - History of the Spanner Case
"In December 1990 in the UK, 16 gay men were given prison sentences of up to four and a half years or fined for engaging in consensual SM activity. This followed a police investigation called Operation Spanner prompted by the chance finding of a videotape of SM activities.
The convictions have now been upheld by both the Court of Appeal and the Law Lords in the UK and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
Despite what you may have read in the newspapers, for the most part, the men were convicted of the standard offence of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Their defence, that they had all consented to the activities, was denied."

… if the beer’s off, the beer’s off: you tell the landlord. Doesn’t matter if it’s your first visit or you’ve got a pewter tankard with your name on it hanging behind the bar.
What’s with all the pub analogies?

No, it does not surprise me.
Again, welcome to u75
Why did you pick the name?
Were any of the other guesses come close?

The pub analogies is how most think of urban.
A bunch of regulars and non-regulars show up at the pub and y'all start chatting.
U75 is so massive that there are many "pubs", so you pick which one you want to spend time in, and you enter.
This, of course, is a complete guess.
I'm Canadian, and we really don't have the type of pub life that seems to be prevalent in the UK.
Thanks for the info. Never heard of the case before and quite frankly don’t care about it now. Although I sympathise with everyone caught up in it at the time.

Back atcha.
The only one that came close was “I Fucking Hate Canadians”, but that was already taken. That’s a joke. I love CanadiansNo, it does not surprise me.

You can “back at me” to your heart’s content, but your fellow member admitted they didn’t have any friends, which is mightily dissuasive in all sorts of ways.

I still think most normal people would not find your response their post very normal. A lot of cunts would think it was spot on, otoh.
Oops, in your haste you have forgotten to reply to reply to my previous post.

hmmm -
One of my fellow Canadians was called a "moose fucker"....then he posted a picture of a moose with a ladder at the rear to show just how difficult it would be to fuck a moose.
Then there is the old classic
But, our national anthem says it all - "the true north, strong and free"
