Admin Ian M Posted August 8, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I've met Dave L many times and always found him to be a very nice bloke, just my opinion and I of course bow to the superior knowledge of people who have never met him!

chipdawg Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Was that him? I never put 2 and 2 together but now you mention it the writing style did look familiar. I miss the old 606 board and there were even some good g*s posters on there, but he definitely was the worst of the trolls. I always liked 606; a bit more inter-team camaradery and less agro. I'm 99% certain it was him, I called him out once and he didn't deny it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 He's not in the closet; he used to be king troll on the old BBC 606 message boards posting as 'Randy Stockingtop'. He was always trying to wind City fans up and being a general arse. Very professional for the journalist in charge of covering Bristol City in the local paper... See him at Glos with his little enclave of gas brown nosers, ugh ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I've never met him, but I do feel a bit sorry for him at times. From my understanding, the EP's newsroom is not a happy place to work - with half the staff of the past trying desperately to do double the jobs + all the sub-editing (the proof reading, if you like, and layout) is done from Plymouth and mistakes are always being introduced to the Bristol journo's copy. Add to that a tvat of an editor on their backs for scandal *exclusives* and stories about 'hooliganism' and I'd say it's no wonder Stockhausen has turned to drink! Being a regional newspaper journalist is a lot harder a job than some of the armchair critics here reckon. I did it ages ago and I'm bloody glad I got out! Think your final paragraph is the answer if it is that bad. If you don't like your job leave it. I know easy to say with bills to pay.. but if it is as bad as you say it is. Bloke is still a bellend though met him at a night out once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know him, but I am led to believe that the issues with drink pre-date any imbecilic editor making his life harder than it maybe should be.

OneManMob Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 His journalistic skills can be found in just 1 tweet. Andy Stockhausen @AndyStockhausen 6 Aug Gills 0, City 2 Emmanuel-Thomas shot is blocked and he seizes on the rebound to beat Nelson with a low shot. Class beginning to tell here.

Former Pirate Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think that Mr Stockhausen was merely hanging around to see if anybody could give him a lift back home. Winner. ::laugh:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
