I think you need to ask the specialist about that medication you're on

There was some basic thermodynamics question which he asked Cynic - which was the first one that he (C) recalls

even more basic than not using a hacksaw in an inappropriate manner

the first post that I can find under the "Adam" persona here was 28 Nov

1999.

the first one showing in any group was to alt.history.british

a bit of research suggests that Drivel is in fact Adam Lester-George who used to crib homework from anyone stupid enough to answer his questions (both Adam and Adam L-G shared domain names and IP addresses from the same block).

The worrying thing is that means that it is likely that nowadays Mr Lester-George is a psychology student. If that's true, I'd like to meet him and kick his balls into mush, if I could find them, that is.

Maxie, I did. And he said the Rennes from Boots are OK.

[Doctor Drivel]

Maxie, I am Doctor Drivel. Maxie, you must behave.

[Doctor Drivel]

Maxie, what do you do with hacksaws? Do you cut the branches away so you can climb up the trees on the beach?

[Doctor Drivel]

This man is clearly mad. All sorts of post about his insanity all over the Internet. And he hasn't been locked up yet.

[Doctor Drivel]

Maxie, do you think the dog should be set on this plantpot? One that chews his googlies?
