Can a hole be dug any deeper?
SO certain posters are entitled to spend page after page flaming me, and I'm not allowed one brief post sharing that I think someones done me a disservice? 
and that laughter icon, genuinely, I am smiling to myself at the smugness of your statement, this place is laughable at times As you were boys and girls, play nicely.
But you said you spent 20 minutes on PH up to 9.30pm...but you posted and edited a post at midnight!
Whatever you're searching for is not going to be found here. I've no bones with you, but I suggested in the previously closed thread that you needed to stop replying. People are saying it here, and you say you will stop etc...but here you are.

I actually didn't spot that, until it was pointed out. I'd have been here earlier, if I had. 
In my defence, I'm willing to bet that a higher percentage of my posts on this thread have been on-topic, about the actual Planning matters involved, than anyone else's.
In those terms - for anyone actually interested in Planning - the conclusion to this part of the story hasn't happened yet. We haven't seen the refusal notice or the Officer Report, so we don't yet properly understand the reasons for the refusal.
On the basis of what Fermit told us in his first post, and the application documentation I've looked at online, though, I would be willing to put money on the fact that I could turn the refusal around with a revised application, if the neighbour let me. I may well drop him a line, asking if he wants me to do so on a 'no win, no fee' basis, just out of professional interest.
ETA:
BTW, Fermit, look up the word 'grammar' in a dictionary, then look up the word 'spelling'. You seem to be repeatedly confusing the two.
I don’t think you need to defend yourself as your input has largely been free professional advice just mixed in with a couple of jokes and a few of the types of home truths many would like to go to town on a paying client with.... it’s the crux of the free professional advice on here that the professional may make an idiot out of you if you push a stupid question on them.In my defence, I'm willing to bet that a higher percentage of my posts on this thread have been on-topic, about the actual Planning matters involved, than anyone else's.

I think you’ll understand this, a 1 word post can prompt a paragraph reply and loads of us have been trying to do it... some are more successful than others... on another thread one poster, who’s here as well and was also one to successfully get a telling off, managed to get Fermit to excavate a huge area of his garden of the back of not much more than a joke about ‘needed to expose more of his shaft IIRC’... hilarious right... But put every piece of the puzzle together and it’s not something we should be doing if that makes sense?

I need to clarify this, so not to risk being made to look the fool in that instance. I was the determined one wanting to extract what ever the oddity was, I got the top bit out, and after maybe two wheel barrows of soil gave up on the shaft and got the builder to cut it off Edited by Black_S3 on Monday 1st July 10:43
(it was in the way of new foundations)Rest assured, half my garden wasn't dug up, we've spent far too long getting that how we want it to do that.
Still none the wiser what it is though, I may ask on a link someone suggested, if I ever get the chance.
The rest of your post is noted that said, cheers.

Buddy why the hell did you dig up what you fully believed to be a bomb.... (it was in the way of new foundations)Rest assured, half my garden wasn't dug up, we've spent far too long getting that how we want it to do that.

It looked like could (really!) be, and I did do a cautionary double check with him before I went further (his first words were also 'f
k ME, it looks like a bomb!')
I’m all for DIY but a cautionary double check should really be left up to a bomb disposal expert!k ME, it looks like a bomb!') He was completely satisfied it wasn't a bomb. And yes, I did. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be, but I didn't fancy blowing myself up, plus I couldn't be sure it wasn't something currently in use (unlikely, but stranger things have happened)
Can you imagine that thread going another way. F&SS 'At this point we decided to call out the bomb squad, and they attended and told us that it was part of an outside Victorian crapper.'
Like I'd ever hear the end of that

king would have. And that's the thing with you - you share too much and totally wear your heart on your sleeve. Those are two things that can make someone really nice company in person, but when you put it out on an internet forum with a cast of thousands that's got a high percentage of bored, professional piss-takers you end up coming off terrible and for some reason feel the need to defend yourself to the very end.Its not worth it, man. You seem a proper nice, hard working guy most of the time. I just don't get why you value the perception of a bunch of strangers on the internet and give them so much material and so much of your time. Yeah the forum is a good place for general chat and advice, but when things get ugly, as it almost always will with time, why don't you just resist the urge to reply? As an observer, looking back through all your threads that have gone this way - trust me - no one comes off as a "winner".
