The barred list is stacking up

“I find myself confronted with the ultimate dilemma,” says Martin Williams, a man who has graced our pages often. “Should I be excluded from The Stack myself?”
Martin has recently retired from Powys County Council, and is looking forward to spending even more hours at The Stack.
“I can enthral the youngsters for hours on end with exhilarating tales of *FX commands, OSCLI, and 6502 Assembler. But would I be welcome?” he says.
Meanwhile, Keith Swinford at Saint-Gobain Abrasives opines: “I must nominate a small spotty youth in PC World, who when I tried to purchase a budget PC nationally advertised on TV as ‘to take away today’, replied that ‘we ain’t got none’.”
And what about the next-cheapest? “We ain’t got none of them neither’”.
Keith went to Argos, where the PC was £20 cheaper.
We’d just like to say to Martin: you’re always welcome, just don’t talk to us.
Meanwhile, any of those purple-shirted people from the PC World advert – and their real-life counterparts – are banned for having the worst adverts on TV.
